Xerox 3635 Printer Review

The Xerox Phaser 3635, or 3635MFP, can print, fax, copy and scan color documents all with user-friendly controls. This laser printer is among the quickest in its class, printing a maximum of up to 35 pages per minute for monochrome projects. While it is relatively expensive, this all-in-one unit is a fast and versatile solution for medium-sized offices.

With the capacity to handle a maximum monthly duty cycle of 75,000 pages and its upgradeable RAM of up to 512 MB (from the standard 256 MB), the device can easily support large volumes. The machine's media handling is also upgradeable, with its standard capacity of 550 pages capable of expanding to a total of 1,050 pages. For quick scanning and faxing, it's also equipped with a 60-sheet automatic document feeder.

Reviews of the device give praise for its ease of use, providing a full 7-inch touch screen panel that has individual icons for direct access to each function. Users are also provided with ample tracking information, such as the paper supply and Xerox 3635 printer toner levels. Connection options are fairly standard, with a USB port for PC compatibility and an ethernet interface for a wired connection to the office network.

Output quality tests reveal duplicates that preserve the quality of the original, text with readable and dense characters, and adequate graphics. The device can print a with a resolution of 600x600 dpi using black Phaser 3635 toner.

Running costs will remain relatively low since the device operates with only one Xerox 3635 toner cartridge. Standard-capacity replacement toners can last up to 5,000 pages. Users can lower their cost per page, however, with high-capacity Xerox 3635 toner cartridges that can yield up to 10,000 pages.

The 3635 provides a good balance of speed, quality and easy-to-use features that will suit busy office users. In addition, low-cost Phaser 3635 toner helps make up for the expensive price tag over the long run.
