Xerox WorkCentre 3335/DNI: duplex output with a single-sided document feeder review

Automatic two-sided output, single-sided originals

The Xerox WorkCentre 3335/DNI suits a small team that prints monochrome office documents, scans color originals and uses separately configured analog fax. USB, Gigabit Ethernet and Wi-Fi are included, as are automatic print duplex and 300 sheets of ordinary input capacity.

The important distinction is at the scanner: its 50-sheet automatic document feeder reads one original side. Xerox identifies the neighboring 3345's reversing feeder as the upgrade that captures both sides automatically. Choose around the originals you actually receive, rather than the word duplex alone.

Xerox says this series is no longer sold as new. This is an earlier-model reference; confirm the exact unit's condition, power rating, driver support and consumables before relying on it.

Legal duplex does not require an extra drawer

The included main drawer holds 250 ordinary sheets and the bypass 50, totaling 300 at the stated 20 lb, 75 gsm basis. Both paths support Letter, Legal and A4. All three also appear in the guide's explicit automatic two-sided table.

Supported duplex media spans 60–120 gsm with the listed paper types. The broader one-sided tray limits do not extend that range. Select the actual paper size, type and source, then choose the appropriate long-edge or short-edge layout in a compatible computer driver.

The separate 550-sheet accessory raises capacity to 850 when installed. It adds height and changes the footprint, so neither its capacity nor its dimensions belong to the base configuration.

Route Legal originals through the feeder

The feeder accepts suitable Letter, Legal and A4 originals. Load loose pages face up, remove staples or clips and adjust the guides to their edges. Use the glass for books, fragile sheets and individual originals that should not travel through the feeder.

The glass is confirmed for Letter and A4. The longer Legal scan area belongs to the feeder, and automatic output duplex does not extend either the glass or the original-capture method.

Color scanning is supported even though printed output is black and white. The guide distinguishes 600 x 600 optical scan resolution from its enhanced figure. Neither the color touchscreen nor the scanner makes this a color printer.

USB scanning has real software prerequisites

The original Network/USB Scan Driver release note establishes computer scanning over USB, rather than merely saving a scan to a USB memory stick. It requires firmware V60.001.14.000, SMPR4, or later for the USB scanner driver.

That release supports TWAIN scanning over USB or network with 32-bit applications only, even on a supported 64-bit operating system. Its WIA component supports USB scans with 32-bit and 64-bit applications. Check both the operating system and the application instead of treating their bit versions as interchangeable.

These are documented historical conditions. A current computer still needs an actually compatible driver package and application. The front flash-drive workflow is a separate walk-up function and does not establish computer scanner compatibility.

Set up the network destination and confidential jobs

For scan-to-folder operation, create a reachable shared folder with appropriate access rights, then add the computer's address, share name and permitted credentials to the printer's address book. At the panel, select the network destination and required scan settings before starting.

Remote TWAIN scanning needs its Scan Extension Web service and Remote Start enabled. A working network print queue alone does not complete that scanner setup.

Secure Print is included. Use a compatible computer job type and passcode; the administrator can set the minimum code length in the printer's web settings. Check the held-job deletion timer before expecting a queued document to wait indefinitely. Optional card readers and external authentication arrangements are separate equipment.

Mobile printing and fax keep their own connections

AirPrint needs HTTP, IPP and Bonjour/multicast DNS enabled. Mopria needs its supported device, Print Service and enabled printer protocol. Both use the documented shared network and appropriate subnet or discovery routing; the printer may connect by Ethernet while the mobile device uses that network's Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi Direct peer printing is separately available and disabled by default. Enable and configure it for the supported device. Its existence does not prove peer computer scanning or every full-driver paper and security control in a mobile application.

Fax requires its configured analog telephone line. The Ethernet cable and printer radio do not supply that telephone connection.

Use the ordinary workload and correct supply identity

The 3335 declares up to 35 one-sided Letter pages per minute, separately 33 A4 and 28 Legal. Recommended regular volume reaches 4,000 monthly; the 50,000 duty figure is explicitly a nonsustained maximum.

US toner options are 106R03620, 106R03622 and 106R03624, with different ISO/IEC 19752 yield declarations. The separate drum has approximate-life conditions. For envelopes, use the bypass with print side up and closed flaps down and left, matching the instructed driver settings. If two-sided original capture is routine, compare the explicitly equipped 3345 before choosing the 3335.
