Xerox WorkCentre 6515/DN Color Multifunction Printer

Setup was fairly simple. Had to make some adjustments to the base configuration. Such as not printing a page on every reboot/startup. But that was easy to locate (google it and then make the setting change). Found that the PS drivers actually work best across all apps. Even Word, which you would think would like the PCL6 driver more. Go figure. Installed the drivers on both the systems that will be printing to it (from the web page of the printer, which makes it MUCH easier). So far print quality is as expected (great). Print speed is really good too. MUCH better than my old (10+ years old) laser printer. This one printer replaced an old color laser printer plus an HP inkjet MFP device. Bought for the single pass, duplex, scanning via the ADF as well as printing resolution. Will see how many prints I get out of the included (already loaded) toner. Would love it if this came with a 500 sheet tray stock. But my old laser printer didnt either (added that later). I might add the extra tray later. With this one I could also set one of them for legal page prints and the other letter...

Although meant to ship with factory default password, this unit did not recognize the default. Xerox accused me of having changed the password and forgotten it, all in the few days I had the unit trying to log in as administrator to choose settings. They wanted to charge for a service call. And the documentation and installation were atrocious. STAY AWAY!!!!!

At work we use Xerox elusively so I purchased one for home use. I was surprised to see that the printer was DOA. I dont have a car to lug a large heavy printer to a UPS drop off location. I hoped Xerox would come by to repair it but I ended up wasting a day off from work.

I bought this Xerox WorkCentre 6515/DN on October 13, 2017. It broke 13 months later in November of 2018. I estimated that I got 13 cents per page out of it; not including the toners, paper and electricity. I could have gotten similar cost benefit if I went to a copying center. The unit is very big and heavy compared to products with the same features. And plus, when it broke, it kept on saying that I needed to re-insert the cyan toner and it didnt register it after repeated trials. It cost me an A grade it my class because I couldnt print out the papers in time. I feel that I didnt get my moneys worth out of it.

This printer is very complex and has a lot of features. Unfortunately the only thing it does well is print on paper. The set up was so complex that after working on it for a week, and I am fairly savy with these units, I finally asked Amazon for a technical person to come out . He worked on it for 4 hours before he gave up. Today the printer decided to get locked on one paper tray and I have worked on resetting it for three hours. This is a piece of %$#^%$#%$#

The printer has never worked well form day one. After a few months its started to crumple every seventh or so pages as it printed. Called support, and they sent out some new rollers. Our office has been under construction so it took a couple of months to replace them and now that we have it ruins nearly every page. Called support again and was advised that were now out of warranty (we bought it less than a year ago). Now we have to fax in (cant email apparently its still the 90s at Xerox) some paperwork to have someone come out and fix it. Dont waste your money on this. Its no better than a giant paperweight. Buy a Cannon.

I thought that this printer was supposed to be energy efficient, but I have my doubts. It does go to sleep quickly so that might save power, but when its powered up it seems to really suck power. I replaced an HP Laserjet printer by this one and when I plugged it in to the same plug, the lights flickered and my my UPS kept flipping on and off. I put it on a new circuit with nothing else on it and it still makes the lights flicker a little bit. This doesnt seem right.

Everything works great except the fact that ADF scans come out skewed. I have a user that scans into a share drive on a daily basis at maximum 5-15 pages per job and performs about 5-7 of these jobs per day. Out of these 7 jobs I would say its skews about 6 out of 7. Its not a deal breaker for some but for our industry its very unprofessional. Id rather return a brand new device than to seek warranty repairs for a product thats just barely been out of the box for 4 - 5 days.

Navigating to the web page for the printer just doesnt work in google chrome browser. As soon as I switched to Microsofts internet explorer or Microsoft Edge browser, all of the login, and navigation worked great. I took one star off for the chrome issues. Besides the weird browser issues, the rest of the printer has been fine so far. I set up the printer to use a godaddy.com smtp server so I can scan a document straight to email. I love that feature. Printing has been fast and crisp. I have the printer wired into the home network. Driver installation is easy using the xerox smart start. So far Im happy.

Outside of the factor of setting up the ability to scan to a networked pc folder “smb”, this is a great product that delivers on every mark. I know my way around computers and networks, that being said this scan to folder was a very frustrating event or should I say events. I was just about to send it back when I finally found a way to make it work for our situation. Still not ideal, not able to just hit the button on the printer and find the folder I set up properly in the system and be done. I have another one that is setup exactly the same way and it has no issues at all????? Anyway, the other functions and capabilities allowed me to overcome this shortcoming and although I have to scan it from my pc system it really isn’t that big of an issue since it is directly in arms reach of my pc. It is a top notch, quality product and well beyond the price paid. If you purchase with the priority of its use to scan as we do, read the online manual thoroughly and when things don’t work anyway lol, make sure to go back to their site and troubleshoot your specific issue, they have many different work arounds and eventually you will find the one that works for you.
