For such a small unit, only 16 inches by 17 inches, the N2125 performs as well as some printers twice its size, including the higher-end Xerox N2825. The N2125 will fulfill a midsize workgroup's needs for quality and output speed. It prints up to a true 1,200 by 1,200 dots per inch in black and white and does a good job of shading and using grayscale for fine-looking graphics.
Text documents come out clean and readable.
There's a 133-MHz PowerPC RISC processor, a Xerox coprocessor, 32M of memory and Adobe PostScript Level 3, which means the printer rarely has to emulate any fonts. In speedy output, the N2125 has few rivals. When a page contained one or more images, the maximum dropped to about 13 ppm. Those numbers put the N2125 at the top of its class in speedy output, even rivaling a line printer I recently tested. The N2125 starts processing as soon as you hit Send to fill the printer cache.
