Xerox WorkCentre 6015/NI: color LED printing and scanning with built-in Wi-Fi review

The NI adds wireless multifunction work in a compact body

The Xerox WorkCentre 6015/NI combines color LED toner printing, color scanning, copying and configured analog fax. Its included Wi-Fi distinguishes it from the wired 6015N and USB-only 6015B, while a 15-sheet ADF helps with small batches of loose originals. USB and 10/100 Ethernet are also documented computer connections.

The main tradeoffs are manual print duplex and different limits for the glass and feeder. Full Legal originals fit the ADF, while the glass accommodates Letter and A4. An automatic two-sided feeder routine is unestablished in the read material, so select a model with that routine explicitly documented if it is essential.

Choose the scanner route that fits the original

The glass accepts originals up to 216 by 297 mm. It suits single pages, books and items unsuitable for the feeder. Place the original face down at the indicated corner. Its length does not cover a complete 14-inch Legal sheet.

The ADF accepts originals 148–216 mm wide and 210–355.6 mm long, covering ordinary Letter, Legal and A4. Its specified weight range is 60–105 gsm. Load loose sheets face up, top first, align the guides and stay below the MAX line. The fifteen-sheet original capacity is separate from the blank paper supply.

The brochure quotes scanning up to 1200 by 1200 dpi, while the original standard-feature table states 600 by 600. Those different declarations should not become an assumed higher optical resolution or a claim of a particular interpolation method.

USB scanning and network scanning need different setup

For USB computer scanning, install suitable scan software and start Express Scan Manager. Choose its destination folder, load the glass or ADF, then select Scan to Computer (USB) on the panel. The original manual also describes importing from the glass or feeder into compatible applications through the USB scan driver.

On an Ethernet or Wi-Fi network, configure the computer's shared folder, permissions and address-book destination before selecting Scan to Network. The original setup chapter says wireless provides the same network services as the wired connection. It uses a router or access point with the correct network name and security settings.

The front USB memory socket offers a separate scan-to-flash routine. It is not the rear USB computer connection. Built-in Wi-Fi also does not establish Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint or Mopria. Check actual software and network-protocol compatibility for the intended computer.

Manage the small print sources and manual second pass

The standard 150-sheet main tray and ten-sheet bypass provide 160 nominal ordinary sheets together, supporting Letter, Legal and A4. A precise stock-weight basis for that count is unestablished. The general media range is 60–163 gsm with type restrictions, and bypass paper is used before the main supply.

Match stock, size and type at the panel and in the driver. For the documented manual two-sided routine, the machine prints the even pages in reverse order first. Reload them in the main tray without rotating or flipping, leaving the unprinted sides up, then press OK for the odd pages. The operator's handling is essential; there is no automatic print duplex.

Supported envelopes use either main or bypass and print on one side. Follow the format-specific flap directions and matching envelope settings. Avoid windows, metal clasps, padding and unsupported self-stick construction, and do not borrow the ordinary-paper stack count for envelopes.

Keep standalone copying and telephone fax distinct

Copying works from the glass or ADF with the original-size restrictions. Analog fax additionally requires the dedicated operating telephone line connected to the rear RJ11 Line port, plus the configured country code and fax header. It is not a function carried over Ethernet, Wi-Fi or the computer's USB cable.

The wireless setup PIN and administration password also serve different purposes from confidential print-job release. A PIN-held printing workflow is unestablished, despite the presence of general configuration and security controls.

Check US supplies, workload and working space

The US brochure declares up to 12 color and 15 monochrome Letter/A4 print pages per minute. Those are manufacturer one-sided declarations, separate from scanning and first-copy times. Its 30,000-page duty figure is explicitly a maximum for one month, not a sustained recommended monthly volume.

US replacement black 106R01630 is declared at 2,000 standard pages and colors 106R01627, 106R01628 and 106R01629 at 1,000 each. Supplied black and color cartridges are 500 each under the brochure's ISO/IEC 19798 declaration. The other combined regional brochure lists different cartridge codes.

The US listing identifies 6015/NI as 110 V. The exact N/NI manual gives a 16.1 by 15.3 by 13.3 inch body at 33.4 pounds, compared with the brochure's rounded 33 pounds. Verify the actual label and condition, and leave extra room for the feeder, cover, trays, output, ventilation and maintenance.
