This article will help you to decide between the Xerox Phaser 4510DT and the HP LaserJet P4015dn printers for your office. Comparisons will be based on manufacturers listed specifications as well as tests conducted by our review team. Both are work-horse category black and white laser printers that are designed to service the needs of small to medium sized businesses.
Initial Cost: Comparing the specific models we tested the Phaser loses to the LaserJet. The MSRP for the 4510 is $1599, while the price for the HP is $1479. This isn’t a significant difference and both companies offer other configurations with different price points.
Service Warranty: The Phaser wins this category hands down. Xerox offers guaranteed service on-site for a year at no addition cost, compared to HP which requires free servicing of the printer to be done at an authorized repair depot. Quickly, the difference in warranties can erase the initial savings of the LaserJet.
FPO (First Page Out): As we saw with the price, these printers are very close. The listed FPO for the Phaser is 8 seconds compared to the Laser Jet’s 8.5. In our tests we found that the maximum speed was not reached. The 4510 averaged at an FPO of 10 seconds and the LaserJet was very close at 11 seconds.
Print Speeds: The LaserJet has a listed ppm (pages per minute) rate of up to 52, which beats the Phaser’s 48. However in practical testing, the rates were much closer: LaserJet was able to print 47 ppm while the Phaser performed at 45 ppm.
Maximum Paper Input: The Xerox printer has a maximum paper capacity of 1800 sheets, with the standard recommendation being 1250. The HP has a standard capacity of 600 sheets, but leaps ahead of the Phaser with a maximum capacity of 3600.
Print Output: Both printers feature the same range of sizes: 3″ x 5″ to 8.5″ x 14″. Tie.
Connectivity: Too close to call. The LaserJet comes with an additional 3 USB over the Phaser, but in a practical sense this really does not add any functionality to the machine.
Summary: Both machines are easy to use with intuitive command console displays that will quickly be picked up by your employees. The results of the tests may lead you to believe that the Xerox Phaser Compatible Toner is a clear winner, but in truth these machines performed very comparably. The major points to consider are price and warranty. How much does the fact that you can have a technician come on-site sway you, versus having to ship the printer to a service centre and wait for it to return? Also you should consider the cost of toner for both the Xerox Printer Toner Cartridge and the LaserJet P4015dn, as this will be a recurring cost for the life of the machine. Ultimately, both machines will serve the needs of most businesses, so you can buy either with confidence. For more information, please visit http://www.qtoner.us.
