Boost the productivity of your office with the print, scan, copy, and fax capabilities of the VersaLink C405/DN All-in-One Color Laser Printer from Xerox. A fast and efficient printer, the C405 can reach speeds of up to 36 ppm with ease and features duplex printing at up to 24 ppm. Your documents will be sharp with a resolution of 600 x 600 dpi and you can print a variety of common sizes from 3 x 5″ up to 8.5 x 14″. Also, by offering both a 150-sheet bypass and a 550-sheet input tray, users will have plenty of media before running out and can load multiple types at the same time.
Scanning, copying, and faxing are made possible through the use of an 8.5 x 11.7″ flatbed and a 50-sheet single-pass duplex ADF. An optical scan resolution is useful for producing sharp imagery in a variety of file formats and built-in character recognition can help users quickly search files after they are scanned.
For easy, intuitive operation the C405 has a large 5″ touchscreen LCD. Also, an easy-access USB port is available for walk-up printing and scanning. This unit is designed to last with a rated monthly duty cycle of 80,000 pages. Additionally, it features both USB 3.0 and Ethernet connectivity.

We’ve used many brands of printers, and keep coming back to Xerox. So when it was time to replace our aging Phaser color printer, we went with the Versalink MFP. It has performed great. We love the ability to scan directly to our network folder with one button, It is pretty easy to use with one exception. The firmware makes you tell the printer the exact type of paper you have loaded when you load paper in either of the trays. So, if you don’t have that EXACT paper selected from your application. This thing will not print. To get it moving you have to take time to get the printer and the driver to agree on your paper type. Xerox may call this a feature, but it is a serious time waster. I don’t want my printer second guessing me on what forms or paper I have loaded – JUST PRINT! If I have the wrong paper or form loaded, I’ll figure it out. For this reason I took off a star on, “Ease of Use.” Xerox needs an override feature that allows you to print regardless of the paper you have loaded. Perhaps they will get the message and do a ROM update. Otherwise, we love this printer!

When the machine is running properly it is good. The settings sometime change and then things go a little crazy. It seems to use a lot of toner. The cartridges are smaller but they are more costly then my older copier/printer. When it runs out you really need to have some on hand. It shuts completely down. The service is excellent. It may have taken then a while to figure out what ways going on with my ever changing settings but they responded every time.

While the interface is easy to use, we have only had the product for a month and have experienced 2 major outages. First was a failure after a power outage, the fix was to unplug the unit, leave it unplugged for 15 minutes, and then power it back on. Odd to say the least, and wasted a lot of time troubleshooting before getting that ‘fix’ suggested to us. Second (a week later) was a drum replacement that was requested by Xerox after we replaced the Magenta cartridge and the printer would not recognize the new cartridge. This will be a 2 day outage, if in fact the drum replacement fixes the issue, which Xerox support has not guaranteed that it will.

Prints quickly. Quality of prints is excellent. Once set up, very easy to use. Setting up on small company network had some difficulties that took significant effort from savvy computer professionals to address. Some advanced features we still could not get to work, ex., sending scans to email addresses. Overall, very pleased with great performance at reasonable price.

I have two major issues with this printer. The first is that this is the only printer on our network that takes 5-10 seconds for the print dialog box to show up. Then, once print is pressed, it takes another 10 seconds to print. Once the print is going, it prints fast, but sending it to the printer is a PAIN. I have tried MANY different things to fix this and nothing works. The second major issue I have with this printer is the toner. Xerox has made it to where it will detect an off-brand cartridge, forcing you to purchase genuine Xerox toners. I guarantee you will spend as much on the toner as you will on the printer within one or two months of owning the printer. Guarantee. It has forced us into a situation where we have to refill the existing cartridges, which is annoying and messy. It is an abomination to see how much toner is left in the cartridge when it is forcing a refill. I thought this printer would solve our problems and be perfect. I had high hopes. Those hopes are crashed and now we must suffer with this printer until we are willing to spend a lot of money in search of the perfect printer for our needs. I would NOT recommend this printer to anyone.

We have had Xerox printers in the past and replaced a wax cube style printer with the Versalink. It is quick, and spools jobs well! The print quality is very good, no matter what media is being used! The interface could be a bit more intuitive but otherwise it is a great value for the price point! We would recommend it wholeheartedly!

I previously had another brand multi-function, so my comments are comparing to my current Xerox to a competitor multi-function. Set up is not user friendly. Scanning is not user friendly (possibly because setup isn’t complete?). Competitor multi-function was very plug and play and had a wonderful scan-suite which allowed merging of multiple documents scanned into 1 PDF, cropping, and other visual modifications before saving all from my computer’s desktop. To scan with the Xerox, I have to plug a USB drive into the printer, scan and save 1 document at a time, then move the USB drive to my laptop for manipulation, even though the printer is wired directly to my laptop. Need to order toner soon. It cheaper by the cost/page to purchase a new competitor printer (which comes with toner) than to purchase toner for the Xerox. I’m switching back to the competitor.

Excellent Print Quality. Took a bit of time to become familiar with characteristics on the printer but very pleased. I serves 3 people in a busy contracting office. Will buy Xerox again based on this experience.

This printer suits our needs well. We had some issues with streaks, but we were able to resolve it. The automatic scanning feed isn’t the best we’ve experienced, but it gets the job done. Overall good value.

First off the print quality on this is one of the best on a laser-jet I have ever seen, with the 8-Bit Depth to the 600×600 resolution makes it seem like a 2400×2400 dpi printer! The color transitions for graphics and photo’s are superb however it does struggle a little with blacks in photos, it is as if its all black and there is no in-between. But still excellent graphic and photo quality. Text is Excellent from a 10pt font up, nice crisp and clear. Below a 10pt font it still prints good but a higher resolution printer will be more effective in that department. The claim to fame as far as output quality on this printer is the 8 Bit Depth which allows 32 different shades per dot opposed to standard 1 bit depth which is either on or off (It either puts toner on the dot or it doesn’t it cant blend the colors) this makes transitioning into different colors more seamless and colors that are more accurate. It is kinda difficult to setup but I had all the functions up and running through the course of the evening, no real problems there for me at-least. As far as speed it just cranks page after page. While printing duplex as soon as the first sheet finishes the second is already popping out to go back in to be duplex-ed (don’t know if that’s a word :). I am very satisfied with the printer. I use it for my home office and have had it for 2 weeks and have about 1300 pages through it with no jams or problems at all. Would buy again 10x over 🙂

The C405 is very nice as a copier, scanner, fax, and printer. However, I needed to pay someone to install it. The C405 works better with Apple than with Windows but will work with both if set up correctly. After being set up, the printer is instantly recognized by ipads, iphones, and Mac laptops. The print quality is incredible, as is the speed. I save on paper due to the double-sided printing. The printer doesn’t require a lengthy warm-up. Scanning documents from both the document feeder and the flat glass is no trouble. I can also make copies with ease. Faxing works after you get the hang of it. A problem with faxing is I needed to cancel the first job which I had entered incorrectly; the printer wanted to keep attempting to send it, but I wanted it to stop. After cancelling and trying again with the corrected number, it sent the fax as I wanted. I purchased the wireless adapter, which is almost required. It clicks into place with no trouble. I also purchased “Xerox Printer Stand (497K13660);” use installation option 1, from the included instructions. It does work with this model. It’s surprising to have a printer with sound. The touch screen is nice but not the best I’ve used. It seems overly sensitive.

Since using this machine, my work has become so much easier, no more has with different machines all in one space. great.

I have enjoyed the printing to google drive, ease of scanning, and fast print speeds. The feeder tray feeds correctly for printing checks in order without having to reverse them and I have been able to produce my work faster. This printer has good features and settings that enable me to operate more efficiently. Love it!

I just purchased this for my office. What an amazing job this printer does. Clear and vibrant colors. Would highly recommend for any small office environment.

This printer has served me well. Printing and copying are very easy and excellent quality. I have had no issues to date and since I have a tax practice it also has held up well. The only thing that I have an issue with is the cost of the toner for the machine and especially the high yield toners. I also have had some issue with the scanner set up but I very pleased with the operation of this printer to date.

The printer is easy to use and has the capability to print in black/white and color, fax, scan to name a few. It has a front tray to print envelops from. Would recommend to all.

I would highly recommend this printer/copier. It makes great prints and copies and you can even make outstanding color photographs with this printer.

The only complaint I have is that after spending all that money on two printers Xerox short changed us by including ink cartridges that were only on 1/3 full. Just a cheap crappy trick. After buying two of these machines for my new business it would have been nice to have a complete set up. Literally 4weeks after opening had to order new cartridges. Besides that dirty trick with the ink everything else has been pretty good. I did talk to a few a people and they mentioned that this is pretty standard practice because all the big profit is in the consumables. Still a generally poor way to do business in my opinion.
