Reading the fine print: 7 laser printers tested

Fuji Xerox Phaser 5400

Fuji Xerox Phaser 5400 The Fuji-Xerox was the smallest and fastest printer of the lot, with very impressive paper handling capabilities. IT shops with a 500-sheet paper tray as standard, but this can be expanded to 3150 sheets. You can add a duplex unit and hard disk drive, but not a finishing unit or additional output bins.

The standard memory is 32MB, which can be expanded to 192MB. The Fuji-Xerox's control panel is undeniably the least user friendly; the buttons are not clearly labelled, instead featuring esoteric symbols.

It peaked at 40 pages per minute in our simple word document test and 32 pages per minute in our complex word document test. It also took the least amount of time to print the first page. However, it was the slowest printing photos at both 600dpi and 1200dpi. Text output appeared quite sharp but wasn't as black as the Lexmark or Ricoh.

The Fuji-Xerox was the second most expensive printer to run. Like the HP, replacing toner is expensive at AU$500 a pop.
