Although it takes up a lot of space, the Xerox WorkCentre 6515 is a real pleasure to use thanks to the big touchscreen and quiet operation.
It makes a slightly better fist of it than the Brother MFC-L8690CDW. Photographs printed on plain laser paper suffer from banding and an unnatural sheen, as with most laser printers, but the colours are at least quite natural and reasonably well contained. The overall score reflects all of these parameters and overall value for money. We also calculate running costs, compare functionality and consider each product’s versatility, design and build quality.

These twelve test pages include text of varying font sizes and colours, mixed image and text pages, a set of photos and a series of test patterns designed to assess sharpness, colour fidelity, contrast and grey scale. To compare print quality, we print out the same set of test documents on every machine. Rather than relying on the manufacturer’s quoted figures, we time the first page out and print speeds in single sheet and duplex mode using a standard ten-page document and a stopwatch app. So while you can use the same Xerox Print Portal iOS/Android app for both, only the print functions will work here.Įach printer we source for testing is measured on our test bench and the results are critically compared with every other model we have reviewed. Unlike the much more expensive Xerox VersaLink C7020, the WorkCentre 6515 does not support the company’s Extensible Interface Platform, which includes the more exotic features such as the document translation app. It’s not as sensitive as the one on your smartphone, but the familiar navigation system saves time spent standing next to the printer. One feature that you won’t find implemented so well on another printer is the tablet-style touchscreen interface. The scanner resolution is a little low at 600 x 600dpi, but that’s fine for capturing documents with reasonable clarity. The print speed is around 28ppm in single mono pages and the resolution is nice and sharp at 1,200 x 2,400dpi. There’s a front USB port for printing from, or scanning to a flash drive and an ADF that can take up to 50 pages of A5, or A4, or anything in between. It can not only print both sides of page, but scan both sides of a document without having to turn it over. It can also print from cloud services like iCloud from the Xerox Print Portal app. With the optional Wi-Fi module included, this MPF can also print your emails, or email scans directly to you. The Xerox WorkCentre 6515 is a four-in-one that can do much more than print, scan copy and fax. Size/Weight: 500 x 420 x 506mm (HxWxD) 30.7kg Features
