Xerox 3119 holds a worthy place among the entry-level multifunction devices in the model range of a renowned company - a manufacturer of peripheral equipment. This material will be devoted to the capabilities of such a document management system.
Positioning. Possible use cases
A monthly limit of 10,000 pages indicates that the Xerox 3119 is an entry-level MFP. An additional argument in his similar positioning is that his communication set is minimized.
This peripheral solution is based on the laser printing method. Its essence is that with the help of a special drum and toner powder deposited on its surface, an imprint is obtained on the surface of the carrier.
The advantages of this method include the fact that it has a fairly high speed and an increased print resource for a month. But the quality compared to inkjet technology will be significantly worse. It is most optimal to use such an MFP in a small office or to create a small home workflow system.
Main settings
Both the duplicator and the Xerox 3119 printer support the largest media size with A4 dimensions. In this case, the resolution of the output documentation will be 600 x 600. When switching to scanner mode, this value increases to 600 X 2400. In addition, the image quality can be improved by using the so-called digital interpolation technology. In this case, the resolution is 4800 X 4800.
In printer mode, the speed of this solution is 18 monochromatic pages per minute. A similar operating speed is declared by the manufacturer for this MFP in multiplier mode. In scanner mode, performance will drop to 10 color pages per minute.
Commutation. Cartridge
Only one way to connect is implemented in the Xerox 3119. As you might guess, this is a universal USB port. Using this interface significantly reduces the functionality of the document management system under consideration and some of the functions of the latter in this case are transferred to the computer to which it is directly connected. It is better to use RJ-45 or Wi-Fi switching methods for this.
One refill of the used cartridge allows you to display 1000 pages. As previously noted, the limit for this MFP is 10,000 sheets per month. That is, in maximum use, the cartridge will have to be refilled 10 times. But not only the toner in this case acts as a consumable. Also, at each refueling, it is necessary to replace a special chip that takes into account the number of printed pages. Without the last operation, the cartridge will not initialize.
Cost. Owners opinion
In the new state, such a peripheral device is no longer available. But in the second-hand form, it is quite simple to find it on various trading floors of the “global web”. In this case, you will have to pay from 4,000 to 5,000 rubles for the Xerox 3119.
Reviews highlight his strengths:
- High performance.
- Profitability.
- Easy refill cartridge.
- Reliability.
- Simple and intuitive usage and configuration algorithm.
The disadvantages of such a workflow system are as follows:
- The mediocre quality of the output documents in comparison with the inkjet method.
- The minimum list of supported connection methods.
Finally
The balanced entry-level MFP really turned out to be the Xerox 3119. It has no weaknesses in essence, and there are a number of important and relevant advantages against the background of analogues. All this allows you to successfully use it when implementing document management systems of the initial class, to which small offices or a house belong. It is for use in such cases that the multifunction device under consideration is designed.
