Xerox VersaLink C505/X - multifunction printer - color is rated 3.80 out of 5 by 50.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from It'd be great if it didn't break the first week. Within the first week it has already gotten into restart loop. I called Xerox Support on Tuesday I was told that someone would be there the next day. Then on Wednesday they never show up. Fast forward to next week and they didn't even have the right part with them. The printer itself ran well and fast beforehand but with such an essential piece of office equipment we really can't afford such long downtime. We were lucky we still had the old HP.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Overall great printer! Printer has great print quality and the printer is simple to use. We use this up front in the receptionist office but it is shared among the office for colored copies. I like that it has the option to have secure print w/ password protection. You can send private documents to print out on the printer that will be held in the spool until you go in put in your password to release. The speed of the printer is overall good. The only down would be once the printer goes to sleep the time it takes to wake up again, but once it is up it printers very quickly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Bluetooth constantly stops working This printer has great print quality and the toners last a good while. The only thing that is an issue is the Bluetooth connection Constantly stops working. I have to uninstall the printer and install it and download the drivers for it. Also, sometimes it does not revert back to the original paper settings after I print with the top door compartment. Other than that it is a great printer!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Loud printer and nagging software This printer is being used in a smaller company environment. It sees regular, but not heavy use. The print quality is good but the page ejection can be very loud. Sometimes it sounds like the ejection mechanism gears are being stripped, but they appear to be fine. The worst thing about the printer is the Xerox software--it continually nags you to register the printer, buy legitimate Xerox ink, rate the printer, etc. Each time you set up a new computer, the nag sequence starts all over again. Selecting the "Don't show this again" only seems to kill the one type of message out of many. I would NOT buy the printer just because of the nagware.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great print quality but faults too much Setup was fairlyy easy. The print quality and speed are great. However, it seems like this thing errors every 3 fax or copy jobs. It is constantly throwing errors that lock it up. I spend entirely too much time deleting jobs or restarting the machine. I've reached out to support a couple of times only to get nothing more than being told what the error code means. No help at all on why it faults so much. I would not purchase again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Throws Errors on hard use. I love the unit, however whenever I print larger jobs or from remote computers, the unit throws errors. Had multiple different ones, and the help screen says call my network admin, (that is me). Had issues with the fuser unit sending troubles, blue screen when remote printing, etc. want to love it for the speed, but it is always on the fritz when I need it the most. On the flip side, some of this may be due to the recent windows 10 update issues that cause hardware problems.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Solid product at a good price The 505 has proven to be a real and valuable workhorse. Bought it and installed it myself on an older Windows 7 system and it plugged right in and went to work right away. It required some work to make operational when we upgraded to a Windows 10 network. had to find answers on youtube since the owners' manual left out critical information but once I solved the issue, my valued workhorse came back. I recommend this machine to anyone that's looking for a reliable tool.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for our small office The printer does excellent. We have a small office of 10 and the printer exceeds our needs. We have a variety of projects that require copying and scanning. The level of print quality is excellent and we have been very pleased with our choice.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We always have issues with this printer We have had one thing after another go wrong with this printer. The first time we got one Xerox had to exchange it out as a lemon. Something inside it exploded and it was printing parts out. They claim it's plug and play for repairs, so they rarely send out technicians, but when we do make repairs, following all instructions, 9 times out of 10, something goes wrong and we have to insist someone comes out to fix it. It constantly jams. There's no way to print a fax confirmation page. If you don't press done after copying something on the glass, and someone else goes to scan something, it has a conniption until you go back to the copy screen and press "Done." This is the least user friendly printer/copier I've ever used, and I've used plenty. It makes me miss our beast of a Ricoh that was ancient but faithful. We had to get rid of it because they stopped making the parts. At least it worked. Stay away from this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very happy with our new printer! We have gone through tons of printers in our front office and so far the new Xerox has surpassed them all. Print quality, speed and ease of use is great. We also like the ease of use when it comes to re-ordering supplies. So far so Great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This product is extremely finicky We have found this printer to be extremely finicky. It doesn't respond readily to input changes to paper output. For example, you have to open and close the paper drawer for home screen to prompt you to confirm/change the paper supply. Additionally, you get an error message if you put an item that is less than the size of an 8 1/2 x 11 piece of paper on the glass to be copied. So you have to put the item on the glass with a piece of full sized copy paper on top of it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Color printing issues Just bought this a few months ago and have had color printing problems ever since. The ink smears when printing. When printing a 24 page document, usually 8 pages have to be redone.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from DOA Unit We bought the printer from a national distributor. The printer was installed and set-up. The top document feeder jams paper while scanning documents. Xerox has dispatched a service tech promptly. But the service tech said that printer was defective and recommended to have it replace from the vendor. It is a big hassle to return a printer like this and a huge disappointment of the quality. After further reading of reviews on this printer, we will probably just return it for refund and take the loss on shipping cost, and select comparable model from a different manufacturer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Printer This printer is fully capable to handle large printing jobs and scanning documents. The only draw back is how much the ink costs when its time to replace them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This printer is very disappointing I have had Xerox printers in the past, this one is not very good. The print quality is average to poor, when i switch between tray 1 and bypass, if it works at all, i have to go to the printer to manually do it, changing the settings at my computer never works. To adjust between paper and envelopes at the bypass is a confusing and difficult process. I dread having to change the type of paper i am using with this printer. I would not buy one of these again. The message about low toner appears well before it needs to. Overall, not a very good printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Hard to use, scanner broken after 280 scans and 800 impressions I rarely use the printer. This is my first color printer. I'm impressed with the speed of the printer and scanner. Sometimes it stuck and you need to play with buttons on printer so I vote 4 stars. Because sometimes you need to print something fast but instead you need to play with printer warnings and stucks for several minutes. Quality are good for office printer, but you will get poor quality as for photo printing even on xerox colortech+ photopaper with photomode printed from photos taken with iphone 12 pro. My biggest disappointment that scanner broken after 280 scanned pages. Looks like broken scanning head or FFC cable (error 632-380). Overall impressions is 800. I can not find parts to repair it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great quality prints This is a fantastic machine. The print quality is right up there with the big leased XEROX color copiers, but at A LOT smaller price tag. The menu is a little weird and getting it to print via the bypass tray is finicky, but all in all on high quality paper this thing is amazing! Only other negative with this machine is the toners are very expensive. So buyers need to factor in re-supply costs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good printer - NO FAX - BAD Support We bought this printer for our office, we have few other Xerox products already. Very pricey for the features considering that came with NO FAX option !!! We call XEROX support ... hours and hours on the phone, nobody figure out why no FAX, or why FAX was missing ?! One tech said that our model HAS NO FAX "C505S" only C505X has fax and cost $700 more ??? On all XEROX wes sites on all the pictures on all the specs FAX is there !!! Finally XEROX admitted that was a WEB issue ??? ALMOST impossible to return it ... over a month in the process of return and finally we received RMA but no return label ... Very bad customer support on $2400 printer ?! If you don't need FAX option ... is a good pricey printer. Instead you can get jut the printer only Versalink C500 without Copy/Scan option for only 1/3 of the price for $790 ... instead of pricey Versalink C505S for $2400 Print/Copy/Scan or .... very pricey Versalink C505X for $2800 Print/Copy/Scan/FAX Note: - all prices are in Canadian $ ( 1 CA$ = 0.80 US$ )

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We're thinking of bringing it out back and taking sledgehammers to it a la Office Space We thought this product was just what we needed for our growing offices. Upgrading from a table top version but this machine is not intuitive at all. Even with "field support" from our leasing company, they have trouble finding a way to get it to consistently do jobs we ask it to do or to hold settings. Sometimes, you need to tell it in the driver what you need to do and sometimes, it must be done standing at the screen but nobody including the manual has a good way of knowing when those times are. I honestly had Xerox tech support try to tell me that the problem I was having was due to the fact that I was trying to print a JPG file. Um, why have a color copier printer with all of these auto select features if I can't print a picture? Yup, they told me that from now on, I would have to paste my JPGs into a WORD document if I wanted to print them because the copier doesn't recognize "fancy programs". We have yet to go a full day without someone nearly losing their minds because this machine won't do what it is supposed to do. If you're looking for a copier, this isn't it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Super Fast and excellent print quality This is a BIG money machine for small money. It has taken the place of and improved the printing capabilities of a much larger color networked printer. I highly recommend it if the monthly print volume meets your requirements. It has made work easier and faster for all of us in this office.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good relaible workhorse for small office I was very pleased that the machine was basically a plug-in product on an older Windows 7 system. I did it myself with no problems. I was up and running in minutes. When I upgraded to Windows 10, it took more work because the factory info left out some critical steps. Fortunately, I found the info on YouTube and was up in running again. Except for that glitch, I am quite pleased with all the machine does. It was a good buy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great with one drawback This machine performs well, well-suited for our small office. The one drawback is the scanning; it scans into very large files. Even though our paperwork is mostly black and white, color ink is preferred because it shows seller's name, signatures, etc. Contracts are 15-25 pages, property disclosures are 40+ pages. These scans in color run 10-20 MB, sometimes more. Our cloud file storage is quickly maxing out and sometimes emailed paperwork won't go through due to the large file sizes. It is set on the lowest resolution. Other than that, it does a great job, fast, not too noisy, one or two sided no problem, etc.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nearly Flawless We've had this printer for about 2 years. Our printing load is roughly 200 color pages/day. It prints fast, accurately, and reliably. We tried using compatible toner but the print quality was terrible - went back to OEM and its perfect. She's pricey to operate on OEM toner but that's just how it goes. We just bought another because it has worked so well. We've had a bad stretch of color laser printers up until we purchased this unit. There are plenty of other printers with much better reviews and some of those we tried with horrible results. This model it perfect for us.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from VersaLink C505 Poor support. Very expense repair. Our unit is not under warranty & the billable amount is $300 for the first half hour and then $280/hour, not including parts. To replace the LVPS would cost us a minimum of $500. To make matters worse, the manufacturer of the LVPS does not have any in stock, so we are without this expense printer. Printer is nice when working, but we have had numerous problems getting it to work properly and now the power supply is out. I would not recommend this printer because of the poor support by Xerox.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fuser error, new fuser unavailable. We started using this new printer in 2020 and it worked really well, but a month ago the fuser broke (it gives a fuser error on the screen), and the Xerox store, which is fulfilled by CDW, said they had replacement fusers, but it turns out they don't, and nowhere else seems to either. Without this one part, the printer becomes a really expensive paperweight. :-/

But the quality and speed has been fantastic.
