Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CP315 DW Review: The Single-Function Color Laser Printer for SOHOs
Less than a month ago, we reviewed the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CM315 Z (the ‘M’ denotes a multifunction printer). Today, we review the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CP315 DW. The ‘P’ in this model’s name denotes, predictably, the fact that it is a single-function printer. Essentially, the core printing technology remains identical in both devices.
A single-function printer has a different target audience than an MFP. In fact, there is a significant difference between a person wanting the ability to print, scan, copy, and fax and a person just wanting to print. Generally, the former requires a more powerful device, and consequently, the CP315 DW is much less advanced than the CM315 Z.
Therefore, do not skip this review just because you read the other one. You should read this review especially if you are in the market for a color A4 laser printer. This device may prove to be a good fit for your business, regardless of whether you run a Small Office / Home Office (SOHO) setup or a medium-scale operation.
1. The CP315 DW’s Biggest Draw: Exceptional Output Quality
The biggest draw of the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CP315 DW is its output quality. For a laser printer, the DocuPrint CP315 DW’s output is truly excellent.
Most laser printers deliver superb text, but this device excels because it delivers great graphics and images, too. Remember, this is a color printer, and it is incredibly difficult for a laser printer to deliver good color prints consistently.
Key Technology & Specifications
The Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CP315 DW achieves great output quality by leveraging Fuji Xerox’s advanced S-LED (Set-Type Thyristor Logic S-LED) and CCSLED (Current Confinement Self-Scanning Light Emitting Device) technologies.
| Specification | Detail | Benefit |
| Max Output Resolution | 1200 x 2400 dpi | Delivers exceptional clarity for both text and color graphics. |
| Function | Single Function (Print Only) | Streamlined workflow for businesses focused purely on high-quality printing. |
| Duplexing | Automatic | Saves up to 50% on paper costs by printing on both sides of a page. |
| Control Panel | Single-line display with traditional buttons | Simplistic design focused on core printing functions. |
| Warranty | 12-month onsite warranty | Offers peace of mind and protection for your initial investment. |
2. Excellent Connectivity and Paper Cost Savings
Apart from output quality, the other area where the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint CP315 DW excels is connectivity. The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) has loaded this device up with all possible options:
- Wired: USB 2.0 and Ethernet.
- Wireless: Standard wireless, Near-Field Communication (NFC), and Wi-Fi Direct.
- Mobile Compatibility: The device is highly mobile compatible and supports various third-party services including Air Print, Google Cloud Print, Dropbox, One Drive, Google Drive, and Mopria.
Furthermore, the device helps its owners save on paper costs because one of its key features is automatic duplexing. Automatic duplexing allows users to print on both sides of the page, which potentially reduces paper costs by half.
Conclusion: Is the CP315 DW the Right Fit for Your Business?
The DocuPrint CP315 DW’s print output is truly exceptional, rivaling even significantly more advanced business printers. However, its greatest limitation is that it remains a single-function device. If your business needs integrated scanning, copying, and faxing, you should consider a multifunction model.
For businesses that primarily need high-quality, high-speed color printing, this device is an excellent fit, especially given its robust connectivity features.
