An acceptable combination of democratic value and advanced technical specifications allows Xerox 3100 without special problems to implement the functions of the systemdocument management in the office or a working group with 10 workplaces. Also, the pluses of this model MFP rightfully own high speed and minimized printing costs or copying. It is about this peripheral device and will go into the material you are offering to the speech.
Where such an MFP is best used? What is included in the package?
Resource for printing for this universalThe decision was declared by the manufacturer at the level of 10,000 one-sided copies per month. Experience shows that such a volume is more than enough to create small local or networked print subsystems. It can be an office or even a workgroup, but in any case the number of jobs with personal computers in this case should not exceed 10. In practice, you can use such MFPs and in a large office, but in this case it will be necessary to already purchase several peripheral solutions . The list of components consists of the following components:
Multifunctional device of economy class with laser technology of the press and the increased monthly volume of the deduced documentation.
Starter cartridge.
Software that is written toCD. In addition to the usual drivers in such a situation, the manufacturer did not forget to include also various service and diagnostic software.
Power cable and computer communication cable.
Documentation for this MFP consists of components such as the Xerox User Guide. 3100, instructions for setting up and warranty card.
This is a MFP has a flawless package that allowsimmediately after purchase use it to create a printing or scanning system. Another possible way to use it is a duplicating device.
Speed performance Carrier
Typical print speed of the viewedsolutions, as for the budget multifunctional device. He needs 21 seconds to warm up. The output of the first page will take 8.5 seconds. But the speed of output A4 is 20 sheets per minute. In turn, the letter format is 21 pages. The largest size of the carrier is limited to the previously mentioned A4. Also on this list are A5, A6 +, A6, Letter, B5, C5 and B6. The smallest permissible, according to the manufacturer, the density value is 52 g / m2, and the greatest - 162 g / m2.
Excess paper weight beyond these limits may result in xerox 3100 error. Устройство в этом случае блокируется, и до тех until the feed system is clean, printing will not be possible. Identical resolution of the output documentation in both the printer and copier mode is 600x600. The hardware resolution of the scanner is 2400x2400. In turn, the availability of interpolation technology allows the latter value to be increased to 4800x4800 using software.
Communication capabilities
Not so simple with the list of communications in Xerox 3100. Изначально из коробки в нем есть только порт USB format. It is universal and is present in most modern computers. Its key minus is the inability to implement the functions of the printing system when the computer is turned off. There is also the possibility of organizing a connection via Wi-Fi. But in this case it is necessary to purchase an additional wireless communication unit.
Customize
Such an operation as Xerox 3100 setup, does not require special training and is quite simple. Even a novice in the world of computer technology can cope with it. It consists of the following stages:
Install the MFP as close as possible to the system unit of the computer from which you plan to manage it.
We connect the multifunctional device to the AC power supply and to the computer using the supplied wires.
We start the process of installing drivers and other related software on a PC.
After the appearance of the request, which requires the inclusion of the MFP, press the Power switch.
At the end of the software installation process, restart the PC.
At the final stage we print a test page.
The above algorithm is relevant forwired USB interface If you plan to use Wi-Fi, then the setup procedure becomes more complicated due to the need to set up network settings in the MFP. Otherwise, the configuration procedure will not change significantly.
Cost Noise and power consumption
Currently cost on Xerox 3100 varies from 8,000 to 10,000 rubles.One of the major drawbacks of this peripheral model is the high level of noise and high power consumption. Even in standby mode, this MFP emits a noise level of about 30 dB. In print mode, this value generally increases to 53-63 dB. As a result, this peripheral solution cannot be called a quiet one. In standby mode, this MFP consumes 12 watts, and this can somehow be put up with. But when printing or copying, energy consumption increases to 340 W, and this value is too high for multifunctional devices of the initial level.
The disadvantages and strengths of the decision under consideration. Reviews
The main disadvantages for Xerox 3100 multifunction device - this is a high level of noise and highpower usage. It is on these two features and focuses attention in the reviews. The advantages in this case include speed, ease of setup and democratic cost. As a result, it can be noted that this MFP is a typical representative of budget devices.
Outcomes
Xerox 3100 great for implementing small systemsdocument flow. At the same time, mediocre demands are being placed on print quality. In such cases, the use of such a peripheral device is most justified.
