Xerox Phaser 3160 Toner Cartridges

The Xerox Phaser 3160 is one of the few printer models that can handle either small or home offices, delivering solid monochrome output quality and adequate maximum print speeds of 24 pages per minute for text documents. This laser unit is the base model in a series that also includes the 3160B and 3160N printers, which provide more office-centric features like larger media handling and network connectivity. The 3160 is the more simplistic of the three and is a better fit for busy home offices, incorporating affordable Phaser 3160 printer toner and a design that is both cost-efficient and professional.

The 3160 is box-like in shape and should comfortably share a desktop with a user's computer, measuring just 14x15x9 inches. The unit's build is simple and omits popular control tools such as a color or monochrome LCD for convenient updates and alerts, instead including only a handful of buttons and LED lights that will flash when there is a print error or if Xerox 3160 toner is near expiration. In order to edit documents or access troubleshooting advice and utilities, users will need to install the provided drivers and software suite to their computer. Connecting the device to a user's computer is simple with the USB port, which is located on the rear, but the cable must be purchased separately.

While the device can handle an estimated maximum monthly duty cycle of 15,000 pages, it is recommended users print between 1,000 and 1,500 pages. The included memory of 64 MB and decent paper capacity of 250 pages enable it to support medium monthly volumes, which should be more than enough for home offices. Users will be able to use a wide range of media sizes for their projects, from a minimum size of 3x5 inches to a maximum size of 8.5x14 inches. When using specialty media like glossy or matte paper, the device's output is at is sharpest and prints with a resolution of up to 1200 dpi using Phaser 3160 toner.

As opposed to printers that use multiple toners, this device's single Xerox 3160 toner cartridge system will save users money. To reduce spending even more users can purchase remanufactured replacements over the expensive OEM supplies. Each replacement Xerox 3160 toner cartridge can last up to 2,500 pages and support moderate daily printing.

For compact, inexpensive and sharp monochrome printing, buyers need look no further than the 3160 series. Those that opt for the base unit will find it is a good fit for home offices, but the 3160N model adds the network connectivity that makes it ideal for small offices.
