Epson AcuLaser CX11NF - multifunction
Color laser multifunction is not just for corporate offices. New budget laser multifunction color, such as the Epson AcuLaser CX11, are designed to meet the needs and budgets of small offices. Epson AcuLaser CX11 series is a multifunction third color laser cost less than $ 1.000. While this multitasking printer faces stiff competition, at $ 799 ($ 699 for the CX11N model, which lacks a feeder automatic document feeder (ADF) and fax), is the most affordable yet. We tested the CX11NF, which can copy, print and scan in color. You can also fax and comes ready Ethernet. Rivals such as Canon ImageClass MF8170c, the HP Color LaserJet 2840, and the Oki C5510n, all costs and offer more features similar, but manufacturers have more experience in color laser multi-function, high-end. Epson, in turn, is known for its inkjet photo paper, and their efforts the CX11 - the first laser printer sold in the United States - makes some missteps. For example, the CX11NF lacks common fax capabilities, the control panel menus may be simpler, and print and copy quality does not meet what we expect from Epson. Moreover, this office all-in-one does quickly, especially when printing and copy the text in black.
The Epson Stylus CX11NF seem bulky, but practical. This set of 26 inches tall, offers a wide range of storage space for pages, so you can get prints without scraping knuckles. Despite its size - 17 inches wide by 18 inches deep - the multiple functions of 73 pounds is easier than most others to pick up and drop, in part because base handles at the edges.
The CX11NF is not much paper: only 180 pages. A plastic cover sheets protect against dust, but the size of forces legal pages on the brink of failure. busy working groups should invest an extra $ 322 in the optional 500-sheet tray. In comparison, the Canon ImageClass and printer MF8170c HP Color LaserJet 2840 have main and auxiliary trays together hold 375 sheets - but they have no optional add-on trays. The Epson CX11NF also allows expand the 128 MB of memory - enough for most tasks - to 576 MB for heavy network traffic. Just open the driver with a screwdriver and pop the additional RAM in the empty slot.
The CX11NF's 50-page automatic document feeder can send letters or legal size documents through of 24-bit, 600 dpi scanner. The scanner lid does not come out to make room for the books, unlike the top of the least expensive AcuLaser CX11N, which lacks the feeder automatic document feeder (ADF).
The CX11NF has a multi-step motor, which makes color prints pass through the printer once color. This means that the toner cartridges connect to slots in a circular carousel, which must rotate the control panel - a bit more trouble sliding Toner inside and outside a single-pass printer.
Unlike the HP Color LaserJet 2840, the Epson CX11NF lacks slots for camera cards; Epson likely recognizes than lasers do the best photo printers.
The Epson AcuLaser CX11NF package printing, scanning, faxing, paper and several photocopies color and grayscale. The control panel is well designed and backlit LCD display is readable even in the dark. A set of buttons switch between copy, faxes and scan modes, one navigates through menu items, and the third is a numeric keypad. However, in a measure strange penny-pinching, Epson made the right button double arrow awkwardly as the Enter button.
Although the Epson AcuLaser CX11NF lacks built-in duplexer, the printer driver makes easy for manual duplex print jobs. The controller also allows n-up printing and watermarks, and you can sort multiple copies ( your copier can not do). The driver even shows how to fill the tanks of toner and can automatically order supplies online from Epson that they run.
Epson copious software package for Mac and PC works with Windows, unlike the Windows-only Canon MF 8170c. You get profit for the preparation and correction scans, photo management, scanning and business cards. You also get document templates and an OCR utility, which converts scanned pages text in live text and stores your images in a database.
AcuLaser CX11NF Another convenient feature is network scanning. If you set up folders network shares, listed on the Epson control panel so that you can choose which folder will receive the scanned data. Sending a fax is the weakest area of CX11NF. Offers no plan to send, broadcast, fax forward, or PIN protection features. And unlike the competition HP Color LaserJet 2840 and Canon imageCLASS MF8170c, This Epson digital can not send faxes. Nor let you create a fax address book by entering names in the control panel. Instead, a utility problem, Windows can only create an address book on your computer, then upload the address book AcuLaser flash memory.
Speed
The Epson AcuLaser CX11NF per minute 25 pages (ppm) engine through compressed Plain black text. When CNET ran benchmarks using a USB connection, the AcuLaser achieved 18.4ppm-text, almost five pages faster than Oki C5510n comparable. This Epson also pages printed in grayscale at an impressive 19.1ppm-six pages almost faster than the Oki. However, the performance color in the fall, probably due to multi-step design of the engine. However, the AcuLaser MF8170c beat the Canon ImageClass and the HP Color LaserJet 2840. Fortunately, unlike other carousel-based printers, the CX11NF is mostly free of annoying noise and rattle as it cycles through the colors. Black photocopies made in a workgroup environment 5.2ppm.
