Xerox C235 Color Multifunction Laser Printer vs Canon imageCLASS MF654Cdw

Both are 22 ppm color laser all-in-ones with duplex printing, a 250-sheet tray and a 50-sheet ADF, so they land in the same class. The Canon imageCLASS MF654Cdw has the edge on print quality and usability: true 1200 x 1200 dpi output, 1 GB of memory, a 5-inch color touchscreen and a faster first page. The Xerox C235 counters with higher rated duty cycle headroom, a smaller footprint and optional Workflow Central document tools. Owners of both lines praise reliability and cheap per-page running costs; the Canon's touchscreen and sharper text get more praise, while the Xerox is the more compact pick for a tight home office.

• Choose the Xerox C235 if you want a compact color laser MFP with scan, copy and fax, a high duty cycle for the class, and optional Xerox Workflow Central document automation.
• Choose the Canon imageCLASS MF654Cdw if print sharpness, a large touchscreen and more onboard memory matter more to you than the smallest possible footprint.
