Shopping for a printer often means comparing multiple models to find the one that fits your specific needs the most.  Here we will take a look at two models, the Xerox Phaser 6110 and the Xerox Phaser 6130 to compare the pros and cons of each model and find out what differentiates the two.

Generally speaking, the Phaser 6110 is designed more for the home or small office on a budget, it comes at a much lower cost than the Phaser 6130, but it also has slower speeds and smaller capacities.

Print speed is a major factor with any model.  The 6110 can print black documents at up to 17 pages per minute and color at up to 4 pages per minute.  The 6130 is more consistent between the two printing modes, at 16 pages per minute for black and 12 pages per minute for color.

Processing power is similar for both models.  The 6130 has a 333 MHz processor while the 6110 has a 300 MHz processor.  In this respect, they are generally evenly matched.  Both models connect via USB, and both also have a network-capable model available as well.

The paper capacity of the 6110 is 150 sheets, which is well-suited to the home or small office user, while the 6130 adds a bit more at 251 sheets, which includes a single-sheet slot feed for alternate media.  This is a convenient factor that could be important for some users.

Looking at the big picture, each model has its benefits.  The 6110 is clearly intended for the smaller office, and it is both more compact and more affordable.  For buyers who may find its features, speed and capacities limiting; however, the 6130 offers better speeds and more capacity in almost every respect.  Of course, this comes at a higher price and the machine takes up a larger footprint in the office.
