The Xerox Phaser 3450 printer is a monochrome laser printer that makes a great choice for smaller workgroups or even for printing at home. It offers good productivity for a reasonable price. Your output is not sacrificed because of your office size with this printer and neither is the quality thanks to the Xerox 3450 toner cartridge.

The Phaser 3450 has a 266 MHz processor and 36 MB of RAM standard, which can be expanded up to 160 MB. It can print up to 25 pages per minute and is able to print out the first page in less than 12 seconds. Obviously, these figures will be dependent upon the particular print job, but there is no doubt the speed is respectable on this printer.

It comes standard with one 500 sheet paper tray and one 100 sheet paper tray. There is also a feeder you can opt for that holds an additional 500 sheets. All of this enables you to wait longer before you have to get up to add paper. Feeder and trays can all handle letter-sized paper, legal paper, bond, light card stock and transparencies. The paper trays can also work with labels and envelopes.

By upgrading to the D or DN model of the Phaser 3450, you will be able to print two-sided documents automatically. This feature is available with bond and light card stock, as well as letter and legal sized paper. With the DN version of the printer you also get built-in Ethernet connectivity so setting the printer up for a workgroup is easy. Additional features with this model include the ability to monitor both printer and job status.

Replacing the printer cartridge is simple and you can opt for the standard or high output version. The standard toner cartridge will print around 5,000 pages, while the high output does about double, or 10,000. Choosing the higher output cartridge will result in a lower cost per page printed.

Another way to save toner and money is by choosing a lower print quality. You have a choice between the Xerox Phaser toner cartridges saver mode of 300 dpi, the standard quality of 600 dpi or the high quality of 1,200 dpi. Using the toner saver option is great when you know you are not printing the final version of a document.

As is typical for Xerox printers, you get thorough documentation. You will find it easy to set up the printer and start using it right away. If you need more help, you can find other documents on the website or ask questions of the live help or from technical support on the telephone.

Although the printer is not lightweight, it is fairly compact. This makes it relatively simple to move from place to place as needed. If you do not have the networked model, this can be quite convenient.

The speed and output may not be sufficient for a large workgroup. For smaller workgroups or for home printing, however, it provides good value for the money. The Phaser 3450 will provide a similar quality that larger offices get from their bigger printers for a lower price.

This quality comes, of course, from the Xerox Phaser 3450 cartridges.  This company knows printing and offer Xerox Phaser replacement toner of a consistently high quality.  Good compatible toner cartridge is what shows up on your page and what your clients see.
