Came with three year on site service warranty and duplexing. I
learnt the 500 has a xerox 6100 engine in it and verified this using
the 6100 driver. I have mine plugged into an airport express and it
is sweet. I have tested the warranty - I snapped the lugs off inside
the fixer cartidge - a gotcha you should look out for and apperently
frequently done by first time buyers and major servcie call out for
machines under warranty.
Consumables Black cartridge is 700 pages. Fixer/drum is 10 k or 15K
. I work out my wife will use 14 reams of paper in 2 years which is
equiv to 2 sets of epson ink cartridges. roughly 500 dollars.
While we are on this subject , the laser cartridges will do lot's of
pages,
BUT the initial supply is much less. That's an industry standard ..
they all do it.
For the CLP-510 this is the data :-
Black toner : 7,000 sheets @ 5% (starter: 2,000 sheets)
CMY toner : 5,000 sheets @ 5% (starter: 1,500 sheets)
Drum: 50,000 images ( 12,500 Color)
ITB: 50,000 images (12,500 Color)
Waste toner: up to 12,000 mono pages @ 5%
Have fun

( Those second hand near new laser printers are not so cheap
when you need to buy new Toner cartridges . NO, I did not get caught
out .
Just exploring all the options. )
