While it’s true that Xerox no longer offers the Xerox XC23 printer as new, this is a model many people have and many will find valuable. There are quite a few used printers of this model for sale though, and you may very well be in the market for one. A simple online search will result in plenty of retailers that have this model in stock. Following are the specifications for this printer/copier that uses Xerox XC23 toner, as well as some basic information.
The first thing to note is that this model is in fact a copier and a printer. It will not have the same speed as a stand alone printer, so the page per minute is not as high as you might expect from a printer alone. But at 23 ppm for a copier, this model does have a pretty decent print speed. It is a black and white print and copy, so this would not work if you need color copies.
This printer comes with all the basics, including an automatic document feeder, stapler, and collator. The collator is in the form of sorting bins. There is no binder available for this model. The maximum monthly volume of this unit is 20,000 sheets, so it has a fairly high productivity rate. This model also has an automatic input of 750 sheets, or if you prefer manual input, it can hold 50 sheets.
This particular unit may not be idea for personal use, as it is a little bulky. It uses a standard light lens for the copies, and a plain black cartridge for printing. The cartridges are available at many online stores.
One nice thing about this model is that you can set it to make up to 99 copies at a time. It also comes with five different enlargement/reduction settings. This allows you to format your copies in a variety of sizes, and can save paper by allowing you to shrink images to fit.
This is a larger unit, as I stated before. The dimensions are 35.5 x 24.2 x 22 inches. It weighs approximately 152 pounds. This may be a little large for standard home use, but if you have the space it wouldn’t be completely unreasonable to use in your home office. Although this is more for the small business, when you look at the price for the used models, you may want to consider it for home use.
Being that this is more of a basic, get the job done copier/printer, it is quite efficient. It is very simple to operate, and even a beginner should have no problems operating it. This model is very much like what you would find at your local self copy and print store. It is a straight forward machine to operate, and has a good productivity rate.
Again, the Xerox XC23 printer is no longer available. But, as I said before, there are many retailers selling this model used online. Many offer warranties, so do your homework when purchasing. This model seems to run about $250 and it appears to be a very good value for the money. The cartridges are also available at numerous online stores, and run anywhere from $80-$85 each. As with any used purchase, replacement parts may become obsolete in the future, and technical support may not be available. All in all, when you consider the price, this may well be a good investment.
Finding XC23 printer toner cartridges won’t be a worry as you can do a search online for Xerox Phaser printer toner cartridge and see many dealers. Toners prices are excellent when using this method.
