Xerox WorkCentre 6027/NI Wireless Color Laser Multifunction Printer - Copy, Scan, Fax | Home Office & Small Business Printing Solution

For reference, I have a home office network with mixed Apple and Windows computers. I connected the MFP via Ethernet to the router. With this I got full functionality across the different platforms. A few pointers: although Xerox tried to make a complex installation as straightforward as possible, you still have to know something about networks and how they operate. I ended up with several drivers on my computers, one for network, PCL6 and USB for example. I also found that it was simpler to set up my printer network settings from my PC than the Mac. One thing I discovered is that scan to email only works over USB to a PC. To get around that limitation for Macs, you can scan to a thumb drive in the MFP and then port that to your Mac.As old as Fax is, it is still used for legal documents. The fax function worked well over Comcast's VoiP phone system. Comcast has clarity in their phone lines and this is what you will need for reliable fax. I had a large 30 page fax sent from the IRS and it printed without a hitch.The color touch panel is very nice and the menus are easy to navigate through. If you are a long time Phaser user you will be in a completely familiar environment.I like the quietness of the LED print heads, there is no whine from the spinning Laser mirror. The toner cartridges come pre-installed and they are simple and hassle free to replace. I believe that my starter cartridges are full ones because we printed a lot and the gages are still up...very nice, thank you Xerox! We use our printer infrequently, but when we do we don't want to fiddle with missing ink jets. The toner based "laser" printer wins on this point, toner doesn't dry out. The prints are crisp with good character detail. Color is very nice, but don't expect photographic quality.The WorkCentre 6027 is ideal for a small office and meets my expectations, that is why I gave the MFP 5 stars. It is a very nice package.
