Xerox B205NI Monochrome Multifunction Printer, White

I've been using color laser printers at home for years. I have used a few multi-functional color laser printers. They are all slow and consumer-product-like, compared to big office printers. I had lately come to realize that I don't need a color printer, ever. Who prints color prints or pictures at home anymore? So I looked for a black-n-white laser printer instead this time. It's the first time I bought a Xerox printer ever. And I regret not having bought Xerox laser printers a decade earlier. This machine makes high-quality prints with blazing speed. No paper feeding issues whatsoever. It just works.The only caveat. This printer is not home-friendly for a naive consumer in at least one area. You need to be aware before you buy it. It's designed to be used in an office apparently. By default, it always prints out a banner page / cover page for every print job, as if one only uses this in an office environment with a few dozen people sharing a printer. You have to explicitly turn the banner off, and it's not something a regular user would be able to figure out. Many reviewers talk about this. You can search online for instructions. Also, to enable physical ethernet port with ipv4, you need a small surgical struggle with its unclear menu options. None of these are real issues for an office environment where someone maintains printers. It just goes to show that this printer is not made for home uses.But if you are not completely tech-naive, this is truly a wonderful printer, and a great bargain. You will not want to use any other brand of printers at home, once you have used this little beast. I should have thought that perhaps "the printer" company would have made a laser printer better than anyone else. What had I been thinking all these years?

This thing is great. Simple enough to set up and works every time with no fuss. I have tried various HP printers over the years due to cost of the printer and they always had difficulty working. Printer errors or app issues, just so many frustrations. My last HP printer took 20 minutes of trouble shooting every single time I tried to print something.Not this thing. This thing worked the first time after I set it up. Print from the computer, no problem. Print from my phone, no problem. Scan to the computer, done. Print after sitting for 2 days, got it bro. Easy. Every single one of those things took so much trouble shooting with my old printers and this thing just works like you want it to. And with the toner that comes with it easily doing 1000 pages, it'll save on operating costs.Its small enough to fit mostly anywhere. Its very reminiscent of big office printers(makes sense because, Xerox) and operates very close to you. Just in a nice home office size package. I love this thing and its taken away so much frustration out of my life.

This printer is a piece of junk. Not easy to set preferences like disable cover page. When you open the tray then close the tray to reinsert the cover page, the light turns red for wifi printing. You have to turn off the printer, then back on to clear the red light. The red light indicates below the exclamation means, the tray is open or not enough paper. It won’t reset its self after you push the tray back in. You go online and check out the settings and no reset pin code to set preferences. The directions book is pointless. Zero stars. Pointless. Throw the whole thing away and start all over again.

I wish I could write a good review of this product. The print quality is good, the price is right, and it would serve most people's home office or small office needs well, I think. Unboxing and getting the machine up and running was relatively easy (the videos on the Amazon product page helped), installing the drivers and doing the initial setups went okay (again, the videos helped). But, this blasted machine prints a cover page with the Xerox logo on every print job. I do a lot of one-page and two-page printing and this is flat out annoying. You are supposed to be able to change this by going online and jumping through a lot of hoops. I was willing to do that but I could not get that to work with my setup. I contacted Amazon support and they tried to help but to no avail. So, I spent 10 or 15 minute installing the printer, another 15 minutes or so installing the drivers and doing the initial setup . . . and then four or five HOURS trying to get the thing to stop printing that extra sheet. I just want the option to not print the banner sheet, that's all. The Xerox website(s) weren't much help to me. I took a break from trying to solve this problem but will try, try again. The whole experience was frustrating. Someone else may have a different experience based on how they are connecting the printer. I just know one thing: I will never buy another Xerox product. I've been tempted to trash this printer and just buy another one.

Does the job. No buttons on this machine with numbers. You must press 4 different arrow keys to find the characters... kinda tedious. The little screen times out way too fast.Comes with an installation CD...If your computer doesn't have a Player, go to Xerox.com and download the drivers. Not easy for an amateur user. The entry of your network password is CASE SENSITIVE. Make sure you are inputting your password correctly. For me... it was a bear to install. Once I had spent 9 hours on this process and got it going, I am happy with it. Print quality and speed are great. Even though it sleeps... you do not have to physically push any buttons to print. It wakes up when it has a job to do.

easy to use. takes a little time to set up.all have been happy with it. print quality is good.i just wish it would not print out an origin page. every time we print ti prints out a page with the i.d. of what device printed to it. i can't figure out how to turn it off. and i want to because it wastes a lot of paper.
