The Xerox WorkCentre M20i printer is a multifunction monochrome machine designed for use in businesses. In addition to prints from your computer, it offers fax, scanning and walk up copying services. If you need color prints, you will want to consider another machine, however, the Xerox WorkCentre M20i toner offers such clarity this device is worth a good look.

The WorkCentre M20i offers several ways to connect to your network. While it still offers the old fashioned parallel printer port, you can also connect using a USB2 connector, as well as a 10/100 Ethernet connection. Thus, the printer should connect easily to any network with ease.

As equipped, the machine has a 100 sheet bypass tray and a 550 sheet standard tray. An optional 550 sheet tray can be added to the machine to allow for storage of up to 1,200 sheets of paper at one time. The 550 sheet trays allow addition of a full 500 sheet ream of paper to be added when paper is low. The maximum print cycle is 20,000 sheets per month and the total recommended print cycle is 7,500 sheets per month.

Your first copy will drop into the output tray in under 8 seconds. After that time prints are produced at 22 ppm. Faxes may be sent at three pages per second. There is a delayed fax transmission feature that allows you to send large faxes when phone rates are cheaper and a battery back up that will store faxes for up to 100 hours if there is ever a power failure.

The print resolution of this Xerox machine is 600 x 600 dpi. If desired, you can choose a 1,200 x 1,200 interpolated resolution. While this resolution is very standard among today’s printers, it is more than adequate for most businesses, especially for monochrome prints. Scan resolution for the machine is also at 600 x 600 dpi and the fax can use presets of up to 400 x 400 dpi.

The internal processor, rated at only 32-bit RISC, seems small when compared to many of the 700 MHz processors standard on the color printers, but is sufficient for the simpler monochrome printer. It is large enough to allow scanning of prints directly to your e-mail and is able to store 200 numbers for the fax in the 80 MB memory.

Media it prints on include plain paper, envelopes, labels and transparencies. Paper sizes can be any where from 5 x 7 to 8 1/2 x 14. The machine can automatically select the correct paper size.

The machine features halftone grayscale printing which can save toner. Rather than copies with large areas of black printing, the gray scale allows prints to use less toner but still be readable. This can both save on toner and make better copies.
