Fuji-Xerox DocuPrint 240A-AP

Installation gave us a little trouble since the install program had an inoperative button, which meant that we had to look for the correct file and initiate it manually. The menus on the printer itself were easy enough to use.

The machine was average in terms of speed, but it slipped back a bit on quality. That is perhaps not entirely fair, however, as this machine did not ship with PostScript drivers -- this is an option for the Fuji, which is a bit rough considering the price.

Toner cartridges are average in price and lifespan. Maintenance kits work out very cheap but you may have trouble finding them if you look up suppliers on the Net (interestingly, I had no trouble finding suppliers for the faster 340A).

Up to two additional paper drawers are available, plus a duplexer. Warranty is for one year, on-site. Fuji Xerox does recycle cartridges and they claim that the reconditioned units are equal to the quality of new the product.
