Xerox Phaser 6280 Compatibility with Mac OS X 10.6

One of our clients upgraded his Mac computer to OS X version 10.6. As a result, his Xerox Phaser 6280 printer stopped printing color. It would print in black and white, with one exception. The exception was that it would still print pdf documents in color.

He asked us to help him fix this.

There was nothing wrong with the printer itself. The problem was the existing printer driver was not compatible with Apple's new Snow Leopard operating system (v10.61). After checking with Xerox, we found that he could fix the problem by deleting the printer, followed by rebooting the computer to make sure the printer files were gone, and then installing the latest driver from Xerox's website.

New Xerox Printer Delivers Vibrant, Professional Color that's Easy on the Budget

High-quality color is no longer off limits to budget-conscious small businesses and workgroupswith the introduction of Xerox Corporation's (NYSE: XRX) Phaser™ 6140 color laser printer.

Priced at $399, the Phaser 6140 produces vivid color documents by pairing 600x600x4 dpi image resolution with Xerox's Emulsion Aggregate High Gloss (EA-HG) toner, which provides crisp text and uniform color. A variety of tools such as Adobe® PostScript® 3™, PANTONE® color-approved simulations and Xerox color-correction technology are also included to help manage color and ensure professional-looking color prints.

"A small budget shouldn't mean you have to sacrifice making a big impression," said Rick Dastin, president, Global Product Delivery Group, Xerox Corporation. "The Phaser 6140 delivers show-stopping color and performance at an affordable price."

With a paper capacity of 250 sheets and fast print speeds of 19 pages per minute (ppm) in color and 21 ppm in black and white, the Phaser 6140 helps small offices produce high-quality color documents quickly and reliably. The printer's compact design is ideal for businesses with limited space.

To boost worker productivity, the Phaser 6140 also includes:

• Pre-installed toner that helps users get up and running right away. Gauges on the front panel indicate if there is enough toner to complete a large print job.
  
• Optional features such as automatic two-sided printing, an additional 250-sheet paper tray and wireless network adaptor that allows users to build a printer that best suits their needs.
  
• The Run Black feature that keeps the printer running in black toner, even if the color toner needs to be replenished, ensuring users can keep printing. The printer also recognizes and automatically skips blank pages in a document, speeding up print time and reducing paper waste by up to 50 percent.
  
• Compatibility with a variety of operating systems including Microsoft 7 and Mac OS X 10.6.

The Phaser 6140 is ENERGY STAR® qualified and part of the Xerox Green World Alliance - a worldwide initiative to encourage customers to recycle or dispose of supplies in a manner that minimizes impact on the environment. The Phaser 6140 has additional features including a built-in toner system that creates up to 80 percent less waste than comparable color laser printers and N-up printing, which enables users to print multiple pages onto one document.

Do you really need a wireless printer?

You need to print something, but it's on your laptop.  Now, you wish you had a wireless printer.  But wait, you can print to your desktop printer from your wireless laptop.  It's pretty easy, really.  

Go to your desktop computer where the printer is connected and "share" the printer.  Then, on your laptop, add a new printer.  Choose network rather than local.  Your done.

Use right paper for mailing letters.

Today, I received a letter that was smeared and looked nasty. Toner had rubbed off the page onto another page inside the envelope. It was a professional letter that had been sent through the US Postal Service.

It's not the mail man's fault. I am sure the letter looked fine when it was put into the envelope. The sender had printed it on a laser printer. We all do that. I have seen this before.

So what happened here? The sender printed the letter on a type of paper called Classic-Laid. Classic-Laid is made by Neenah Paper, a world class manufacturer of premium papers. But this paper is too rough for toner to properly stick to it.

Toner will smear if not printed on the appropriate paper surface, and then subjected to the machinery in the postal service. Printed materials delivered by the postal service arrive with ghosting or mirror images of the text visible on the page.

When preparing printed materials for mailing:

• Use 24 lb (90 g/m2) paper.

• Avoid rough paper; select paper with a smoothness from 100 to 150 Sheffield points.

• Fold sheets with the text facing outward.

• Meter envelopes or use precanceled stamps.

• Place envelopes in trays and deliver to the post office; do not drop envelopes into mailboxes.

Neenah Paper also makes a laser printer friendly finish called Classic-Laid Imaging.
