    Good deal!

    Plenty of stock in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne

    damn - every store in Sydney is closed today for Easter Sunday :(

  • DiscountDevil on 05/04/2015 - 11:52

    For those that own one could you please share how much replacement toners cost and roughly how often you need to replace them? Also, do they do that dodgy "print head clean" that inkjets like to do but are actually a ploy by the manufacturer to chew through ink/toner? Having only ever owned inkjets I have no idea about these things.

    • AMLagonda on 05/04/2015 - 12:05

      Laser printers dont have a "print Head" that needs cleaning, not really a inkjet ploy as it has to be done.
      Can get toners for under $20 off ebay, genuine is over $80, don't bother with genuine though.

      I must say the Epson Inkjet (WF-3540) I have I havent heard it make a head clean yet…

      I own this printer and love it. Connects without issue to WIFI (I print wireless from 2 MACs) … duplex printing is working great and the replacement toner I got from eBay for around 14$ is still going strong (I couldn't see any quality difference to the genuine toner which came with the printer.) Got it for $79 at the previous special and would highly recommend it.

        I concur with mini_wombat.
        Had mine for 9 month, not a single issue.
        Fast printing, wireless & duplex work perfectly, nice quality prints.
        I also buy toner from eBay, usually 2 for $21.99 ~ $23 delivered - didn't notice any difference in print quality.
        Highly recommended, especially at this price.

      • lostn on 06/04/2015 - 19:58

        I had some wifi issues with it. I believe I solved it by assigning it a permanent IP and reserving that IP for it. Otherwise it confused my PC.

      • lizziecc on 11/04/2015 - 23:45

        hi mini_wombat, i was just wondering how you got it to duplex on your MACs, because for some reason I cant D:

        • mini_wombat on 12/04/2015 - 09:27

          Not really an expert … I just installed the print driver from the FujiXerox page:

          http://onlinesupport.fujixerox.com/processDriverForm.do?ctry…

          The Duplex option is a bit hidden in the print menu:
          When printing: On the bottom there is a dropdown menu where you can select "Printer features" —> a second drop down appears —> select Paper Handling —> Select "Duplex - Flip on long edge"

          See a screenshot here: http://imgur.com/9zySq47

          Hope this helps …

    Holy crap OW want $137 for a Toner for one of these lol just go to ebay.

  • dammit on 05/04/2015 - 12:20

    It says it has a fixed drum- does that mean it is part of the toner cartridge? So every time you buy a new toner the drum effectively gets replaced? Just wondering if this printer costs a lot to run if you did need to buy the drum separately (doesn't look like it).

    • AMLagonda on 05/04/2015 - 12:29

      no its part of the printer.

  • aec on 05/04/2015 - 12:25

    I have one of these and highly recommend it, hasn't skipped a beat since 2013. Although I haven't used it enough to change the toner yet though, but they're pretty cheap off ebay.

    If you're on inkjet - don't even think twice - get a laser, doesn't have to be this, but just get a laser. Inkjets SUCK!!!!!

  • afu on 05/04/2015 - 12:46

    Look at the review seem very bad, Why ?

    • MountFranklin on 05/04/2015 - 12:57
      +1

      I did read those bad reviews too but I don't have any of those issues mentioned (losing wifi connection or not waking from sleep mode, slow to print, not installing). However, I did update the firmware to 1.13 as it was shipped with 1.10 (not sure what's the difference)

      It's not the simplest printer to install but If you know how to install drivers/update firmware then it shouldn't be a problem - Does plug and play on window 8 if that's all you need to do.
      I have it running wirelessly on PC and Mac printing duplex with no issues.
      wakes up from low power sleep mode to print any time with no issues

      • impulseshopper on 10/04/2015 - 00:50

        Need help OZB; I bought this printer today and it is SLOW…

        I updated the BIOS to 1.13 as a first step, then I downloaded and installed a Microsoft driver: 6.3.9600.16384. I did not use the setup CD.

        All is good, but when I print wirelessly it is SUPER slow. Each duplex page takes about 20 seconds with all printer preferences set to default.

        Help.

        Should I use the setup CD?

        • impulseshopper on 10/04/2015 - 02:17
          +1

          Problem solved:

          Make sure you install the driver on the CD not the ones floating around the web…

        • montorola on 14/04/2015 - 17:30

          @impulseshopper:

          Hey, how did you setup wireless printing? I tried doing it through the cd, but it just doesn't work >.<

      • CyberMurning on 13/04/2015 - 21:34

        where did you get the updated firmware?

    • mini_wombat on 05/04/2015 - 13:20

      No idea … I personally believe its a good printer … I have no issues. Love the wireless printing and duplex.

    • netsurfer on 05/04/2015 - 16:36
      +1

      Seems like it took a while for the Windows 8 driver to come out. Also, earlier firmware had issues waking up (via wifi).

      One of the complaints is the paper feeder sticking out (for A4). However, it is understandable. Some extra room is required for the duplexing unit.

      USB + LAN + wifi + duplex + postscript + PCL for $50. Though updating the firmware seems to be a good idea.

    • umoddbro on 05/04/2015 - 23:55

      I have one. It was good when I first got it but now it just doesn't print unless you input the wifi key each time you use it. Quite annoying.

      • Steptoe on 06/04/2015 - 02:32
        +1

        Have you tried turning it off and back on again?

    • enjunuet on 07/04/2015 - 21:10

      Yes I also had the 'does not wake up from sleep issue' and 'appears offline' issue.

      Initially was working like a dream, but then this issue. Got really annoying as everytime I wanted to use it had to delete the printer and reinstall it.

      The other day I did this and found that a new firmware had been released late last year for the driver. It has now been updated and will wait to see if this had solved the issue.

      Besides this issue, it is a great printer for the money.

          +1

          It works amazingly. Back in uni I had to do it manually, and have to do calculations, telling the software to print every odd page, then putting it back in and telling it to print every even page from reverse order, but if the total number of pages was an odd number, then I'd have to do an extra step or two.

          This, I just tell it to print in duplex and don't worry about it.

  • jubified on 05/04/2015 - 13:35

    I have one as well and i love it. Wireless wasn't just plug in the cd and sets up automatic for me so i couldnt be bothered.

    Auto duplex is freaken amazing.

  • rith on 05/04/2015 - 13:37

    Great printer, this.

    Just a note for those looking to buy: The photo and display kinda lies about how much the tray protrudes. If you use A4 paper, the tray actually comes out quite a bit (14cm). The little thumbnail under "related products" is more accurate. Just keep that in mind if you wanna put it in any tight spaces or something.

  • Geekomatic on 05/04/2015 - 13:53

    Good grief!

    It looks like a good deal for the money (duplex & wifi & all) but get a load of the "EZ" set-up (except "DO NOT choose "set-up", from the supplied disc or you're apparently screwed lol):

    For anyone wanting to set up wifi without using the instal CD, you can do this directly from the printer's interface.
    Then you can access the printer via the web interface (u: 11111 p:x-admin) and set a static IP, and then install on your computers as normal! :)

    I have this printer, it's a bit loud when its running but it works really well, wireless connectivity and duplexing works perfectly. I've also used a Brother HL-2270DW (or similar) and this one is way better. The big thing is that you can select a wifi network and enter a password using the screen and buttons on the printer itself, unlike the Brother. This makes is much, much easier to set up.

  • BewareOfThe Dog on 06/04/2015 - 15:45

    I own one of these.
    This is my comment on Product Review.
    Main thing is update the Firmware, & update the generic driver.
    This is not what I class as a heavy duty printer.
    I have also been refilling the toners, as I was going through one a month. I also purchased a few spare toner chips but he appears to be out of stock.

    Very handy when refilling Toner Cartridges, as I found not all the toner in each container was being used.

      I bought a display model, no box, just an envelope, which only has a Usb and power cable, a software disk, and a printed quick start and safety guide.

      The software/ guides can be downloaded. Provided the toner cart is in the machine (mine was), see if they will sell it at a discount?

    I was going past officeworks this morning and had to grab some paper . Thought I'd try my luck and just ask if they had one of these in stock and happened to deal with the manager . He let me have the last display model for $15 as they had lost the toner , drivers and anything else they come with . Offered me new toner at half price but they were like $130 so I declined and I'll just grab the $14 one off ebay .

    Thanks OP .
