Xerox® WorkCentre® 3615
HP® LaserJet® Pro MFP M521
Outstanding Value The WorkCentre 3615 delivers more value with faster printing, more memory, true Adobe® PostScript® 3™ and much better media capacity.
WorkCentre 3615DN: $999*
HP LaserJet Pro MFP M521: $899*

Superior Drivers and Driver Installation The WorkCentre 3615 print drivers present users with an easy-to-understand interface as well as pertinent information like supply and paper levels.
Print Driver: 4 tabs with excellent watermark capabilities, full visibility of supply and media levels with easy access to additional machine status. Driver Installation: Only 6 steps and 1:26 from beginning driver installation to the test page exiting the printer.
Print Driver: 6 tabs with limited watermark capabilities and no driver visibility of supply or media levels Driver Installation: 6 steps requiring more than 3 minutes (3:35) before users can submit a print job.
Better Media Handling The WorkCentre 3615 gives users slightly higher standard paper capacity and the ability to add substantially more sheets when needed.
• 550-sheet main paper tray holds a full ream of paper. • Optional trays increase paper capacity to a total of 2,350 sheets for even longer periods of uninterrupted productivity.
• 500-sheet main paper tray holds a full ream of paper. • Optional tray only increases maximum capacity to 1,100 sheets – 1,250 sheets less than the WorkCentre 3615.

Although the HP M521 does a comparable job compressing scanned color files, the same compression is not utilized when scanning monochrome files – resulting in huge file sizes for any black and white scan. This lack of compression adds stress to network bandwidth and would require additional space when archiving.

More Efficient Color Touchscreen
More Efficient Copying With the WorkCentre 3615, users are presented with the most commonly used copy adjustments upon selecting the copy function from the home screen. Changing one of these settings involves simply touching the icon and making a selection. HP users have the ability to change copy options as well, but are forced to scroll through 3 pages of settings and then go a level deeper to actually make the change.
WorkCentre 3615 Home Screen Xerox displays clear intuitive icons for accessing the most commonly used features from the home screen.

HP LaserJet Pro MFP M521 Home Screen Although the HP M521 also features a color touch screen, navigating sub-menus and selecting various options isn’t as intuitive as the WorkCentre 3615; users are forced to scroll and touch through multiple menus to achieve the same objectives accomplished within a couple interactions on the WorkCentre 3615.

More Efficient Scan to Email In addition to more efficient copying, the WorkCentre 3615 not only gives users a more intuitive experience when scanning to email, it also provides users with more power over their scanned files. For instance, HP users can only select JPEG or PDF as their scanned file type. WorkCentre 3615 users can select either of those options, as well as TIFF and multi-page TIFF. These advantages continue when users want to change the resolution of their scan; the HP M521 only allows 75 dpi, 150 dpi, and 300 dpi. The WorkCentre 3615 allows users to scan those resolutions and 400 dpi and 600 dpi. The additional flexibility and ease-of-use advantage leads to productivity gains for the office and is just one of many examples when the WorkCentre 3615 provides easier navigation for the end user.

Superior Watermark Capability
Exceptional Print Drivers 1
The WorkCentre 3615 print driver presents users with four simple tabs, with the initial tab providing the majority of settings required for most print jobs. Users are instantly notified if the printer is in need of resources regardless of the tab they’re viewing, and if additional status is needed, it’s only a click away.
The WorkCentre 3615 print driver includes powerful watermark editing capability, including the use of images. This is a benefit for companies interested in putting their logo on printed output, as well as adding a professional edge to any collateral. The HP LaserJet Pro MFP M521 only allows text watermarks, limiting the use and functionality of this feature.

By contrast, the HP print driver presents users with six different tabs with settings scattered throughout. Users do not have visability of MFP status in the print driver.

HP users might think they can access status when selecting the “Services” tab, but they’ll be disappointed. Users would have to know the printer’s IP address and then enter that in a web browser to check status. The WorkCentre 3615 automatically lets the user know its status, keeping the office productive.

Brilliant Print Quality – Consistent Print after Print
WorkCentre 3615 • Distinct fine lines • Excellent accuracy WorkCentre 3615 • Distinct detail • Excellent graphic reproduction
HP LaserJet Pro MFP M521
Notice how the WorkCentre 3615 reproduces the graphic in better detail compared to that of the M521. Output from the M521 doesn’t reproduce lines as accurately and loses definition as the lines approach the center.
WorkCentre 3615 • Better edge definition • No image drop-out
HP LaserJet Pro MFP M521
Notice how well defined the lines appear in output from the WorkCentre 3615. The lines aren’t as consistent in output from the LaserJet Pro MFP M521; they almost appear as a solid block.
HP LaserJet Pro MFP M521
Notice how crisp the text appears in output from the WorkCentre 3615 whereas edge definition from the LaserJet Pro MFP M521 is mottled and inconsistent.
