THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

Xerox's Phaser 6700/DN is a color print-only workgroup printer with a high rated output speed and substantial standard paper capacity. The U.S. brochure lists up to 47 pages per minute, automatic duplex on the DN configuration, 700-sheet standard input, Gigabit Ethernet and USB. It has no copy, scan or fax functions. Wireless connectivity requires an optional adapter, and the source reviewed here does not establish a recommended monthly volume; its maximum duty-cycle figure must not be substituted for that missing guidance. This model can suit a wired department that wants quick color documents and unattended two-sided printing, provided it can accommodate a large older machine and verify the configuration and condition of the specific unit.

Consider it for

A wired department needing color and black output with automatic duplex, without copy, scan or fax functions..

Look elsewhere if

It is not for multifunction tasks, built-in wireless requirements, compact personal desks, or buyers who need a documented recommended monthly workload.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • Xerox rates the color engine up to 47 ppm and lists standard automatic duplex for the DN model.
  • A 700-sheet standard input configuration and Gigabit Ethernet suit a shared wired queue.
  • The print-only role is clear for teams that already have separate scan and copy equipment.

What to weigh up

  • Copy, scan and fax functions are not included.
  • Wireless networking requires an optional adapter rather than being built in.
  • The reviewed brochure does not provide a recommended monthly volume, and the model is a substantial legacy device.

What the features mean for you

A color printer for a shared department queue

The Phaser 6700/DN is a single-function printer, not an all-in-one. Xerox lists color output and the U.S. brochure rates the engine up to 47 pages per minute. That combination is relevant when multiple users need color and monochrome documents from a shared department printer. An office that needs scanning, copying or fax must pair it with separate equipment. Do not infer multifunction capability from the broad name Phaser or from related Xerox products. The exact DN suffix should be present on the machine label because the suffix identifies the duplex-equipped configuration covered by this review.

Rated speed and paper handling for continuous queues

Xerox specifies up to 47 pages per minute and 700 sheets of standard paper input, with 150 sheets in the multipurpose tray and a 550-sheet main tray. It lists a 500-sheet output capacity. The tray arrangement can help a department keep common stock loaded while reserving the multipurpose feed for another media type. Large capacity also means the printer is physically substantial and needs room for service access. The speed rating is not a guarantee for every color job, and the specification sheet does not define a recommended monthly range. Treat the maximum duty cycle as a distinct ceiling, not as an everyday recommendation.

Automatic duplex is part of the DN configuration

The 6700/DN includes automatic two-sided printing, which removes the need to manually reload pages for routine duplex jobs. This can simplify longer reports and reduce operator steps. The capability is tied to the DN suffix in the reviewed product family; check the complete designation before choosing a listing. A print duplexer says nothing about scanning because this is a print-only device with no document feeder. For a team that often prints one-sided pages, the feature can remain unused, while a department with two-sided output rules may value it. Confirm the physical duplex path works if evaluating an older machine.

Ethernet is standard and Wi-Fi is an add-on

Xerox lists Gigabit Ethernet and USB for the reviewed configuration. Wireless operation is available through an optional adapter, not as a built-in feature in the source packet. A wired installation is therefore the straightforward documented network route, while buyers who need Wi-Fi should identify the required adapter and confirm it is compatible and included. The existence of an optional component does not mean an offer contains it. As with any older networked printer, check whether available drivers and the organization's security requirements support the intended deployment before making it a shared resource.

Evaluate size, support and unit condition separately

The 6700/DN is an older, office-scale color printer. Confirm the exact model suffix, the installed paper trays, output bin, network ports and duplex path in the actual unit. Request a representative color and black print sample if possible, and ask for page count and maintenance history when available. Also check the required driver path and supply plan using the buyer's normal procurement sources. Xerox documentation tells us what the model was designed to do, not whether a listing is in stock, what it costs, how much toner remains or what condition it is in. This review is based on manufacturer material rather than personal use or marketplace review summaries.

What else to compare

A current color MFP is a better fit when scanning and copying are needed; choose a model with an explicit recommended range when monthly workload guidance is essential.
