A Printer for Your Paperless Office
When you think about it, the paperless law office is a bit ironic. You start with paper, scan it into electronic format, and at a later date print it on paper again. Of course, that in-between period of not having to store the paper makes it all worthwhile … plus being able to discard, sorry recycle, what you print. And despite ever larger monitors and even multiple monitors … another irony … printers remain a fixture in law offices. All of which leads me to ask … do you need a new printer?
Phaser 6280DN … in One Sentence
Xerox's Phaser 6280DN is a color laser printer with built-in duplex and networking capabilities.
The Killer Feature
When law offices shop for printers, they often overlook the printer language among the many specifications. That's fine if you plan to print text-only documents.
But if you're shopping for a color laser printer, you probably have more demanding print jobs in mind such as brochures.
It's heartbreaking to spend money on a new printer only to find that you still need to pay a print shop for your brochures because your printer can't output them properly.
The Phaser 6280DN features Adobe PostScript 3, which is the printer language that professional designers favor. As a result, it should be able to handle any PDF file regardless of complexity or colors. For cost reasons, very few printers ship with Postscript nowadays.
Other Notable Features
The Phaser 6280DN prints double-sided documents and connects to your network via its Fast Ethernet port. It also has a USB 2 port. You can add an optional WiFi adapter.
In terms of speed, Xerox claims 31 monochrome and 26 color pages per minute, and a cost per page of 2.7 cents for typical monochrome pages and 13.9 cents for typical color pages.
The two paper trays hold 400 sheets. With an optional third tray, the printer can hold up to 950 sheets.
The Phaser 6280DN measures 15.7x19.3x18.6 inches, and has a recommended duty cycle of 5,000 pages per month.
What Else Should You Know?
The Phaser 6280DN sells for $549. Xerox includes a one year on-site warranty, which you can extend at your option. Learn more about the Phaser 6280DN.
