Full of advanced features
Out of the box, the unit is great. Struggled getting all of the software side of the unit configured properly. If I was swapping out an older MFP that had many features as this does, then it would be easy to configure. Certainly a great unit for small business, but a bit overkill for a residential use. Speed and quality are hands down awesome. Document feeder is pretty solid and works well.

Great office machine
We have one of these in our office and it gets the job done! it is our fastest machine, and for the most part super easy to use. The one downfall for me is how difficult it is to clear jobs when there is a jam, or disconnection from the internet. The you spend a lot of time waiting for the machine to load.

I like everything about the printer but the fax.
Everything works very well once the xerox experts helped me get everything to work. They had to take over my computer to make the programs to work propertly. They even suggested not to hook up the fax part of the printer. Other then that I like the printer.

Reliable, Fast, and Predictable Costs
I supplemented a color inkjet with the Xerox B405 Black & White Laser as the bulk of my printing (home office) does not require color. The cost to operate is predictable and Xerox has always been a reliable tool in my office. The unit is fast! It can be a bit difficult to setup however support is available as necessary.

Poor quality prints
Machine frequently prints streaks on the paper and prints too dark. We are constantly having to clean to try to get rid of the streaks. It does not have the capability of resetting the light/darken to default to something else, so you have to change it every time!!! The only thing good about this device is it prints multiple copies quickly.

Xerox copier
This product was purchased to be able to use one copier for both prescriptions and copies. I liked the fact that we can send email and faxes via email, directly from machine. After purchasing, found out that in order to use bypass tray for prescription paper, tray door HAS to be open, therefore in our way in the office. I did figure a way around that. I feel it's much slower on scanning our papers to patients' charts than old copier. We had to have salesman come back just to show us why copier was acting the way it was. In our defense, copier was delivered after office had gone home and there hadn't been any instructions on usage until after we all decided we hated the copier.

Do Not Buy This Product
I thought with a name like Xerox I would receive a superior product and it is when it works. However, this printer constantly goes offline and it is connected by a cable. It is continually in error state or offline. I have to turn it off and back on at least twice a day. Trying to keep it working is a huge disruption to my day.

the copying is faster than my previous Xerox machine. Scanning is much easier. Faxing is working a lot better than before as well. Faxing confirmations are only generated when a fax is not successful. Saves on paper and toner.

Not impressed
I do not like this machine. When you change the type of document being fed into the bypass tray, you have to take a minute to change the information on the screen for the document to feed properly, when feeding an envelope through the bypass tray the envelope wrinkles and looks very unprofessional. Having to change the information for the bypass feeder when I go from paper to envelope becomes time consuming and annoying. The Xerox machine that I had prior to this one did not require this data input. Proof that newer isn't always better.
I would love to have the old machine back!!!

Very good product
The printer is a very good printer. It's fast and the print quality is great. The only issue my company is having is that we occasionally (unfortunately weekly if not twice a week) in order for some in the office to print, we will have to do a hard reset by unplugging the printer after we turn it off and let it sit for a minute before restarting it.

Constantly cleaning the scan glass
We had three 4150 WorkCentre machines and have replaced each with a Versalink b405. These machines need the scanning glass cleaned almost every day to ensure there are no lines. We are using link free cloths with alcohol.
The scanning glass strip on the 4150's created lines that needed to be cleaned maybe once every 2-3 weeks.
Nothing changed in our environment but these Versalinks. We scan customer docs that come from our back office systems and vendor docs that we receive with shipments.
We didn't see this level of scanning lines until using the Versalink. Too bad.

Some good, some not so good.
I really like the speed it spits out copies and the printing, but I seriously dislike the speed of scanning just one page. When it's just one page, it has to run it back and forth three time. Multiple pages doesn't do that. I dislike the fact that if someone has opened a tray while it's awake, it has to be prompted that it's okay to continue. I'm sure there's probably a logical reason for these features, but it just seems like extra hoops to jump through for our office, especially since I have to come from another part of the office to press the "okay to continue" button if someone has opened a tray. The quality of the printing is great, I have no dislikes about that at all. After all is said and done, I guess I'd recommend the product, but I would be upfront in telling them what I disliked about it and therefore they could decide.

Only One Problem - ENVELOPES
The Versalink B405DN is a great printer, great scanner, great faxer, great copier. HOWEVER, to print envelopes you have to remember to release the fuser tension in the back of the printer before sending the print job (otherwise you'll get a crinkled envelope). Here's the process...Since my Versalink B405DN is sitting in a small 3-sided alcove, I have to get up from my desk/computer, walk to the printer, grab the 50 pound beast, lift and rotate it so I can access the back panel (if your printer is in a more open area, you might not need to rotate it to access the back). Now, to switch to envelope mode, open the back panel, lift the two green handles, then slide the two green switches inward, then lower the two green handles, close the back panel, walk back to the computer and tell it to print an envelope. It will perform the task quite admirably. If you have no more envelopes to print and you want to go back to regular printing/copying/faxing, then you need to open the back panel again, lift the two green handles, slide the two green switches outward, lower the two green handles, close the back panel, and (in my case) rotate the printer back to its original position. The only way I found to make this process easier was to make a lazy-susan spinner on which my printer now sits. Dealing with the fuser tension is still a maddening process, but at least now I won't get a hernia rotating the printer. This printer just replaced my 10 year old Canon ImageClass MF6550 which had zero extra steps for envelope printing. Without the envelope issue, I would have given the Versalink B405DN 5 stars and recommended it to a colleague. If you rarely print envelopes, then this is an awesome all-in-one printer and the Xerox phone technician that comes attached for one year really knows her stuff.

A problem solver
We reached out to Xerox due to issues we were having with another line of printers. We had very specific needs, custom label paper, stringent application requirements for the labels that required a good deal of ink adherence, etc.
After sending over samples, we had a very successful demonstration of the machine and its print output and, once on the ground, have had excellent results to date.
If anything, this machine actually has way more power than we actually utilize, giving us a broad area for expansion of services in the future. The print quality is so far unsurpassed for our very narrow requirements. I would recommend this printer to anyone, home or office.

little bit off printing versa
the paper comes out curved from the platen element, and lies on the printer in that curved shape, not on a flat or downward slope like many printers. we have to put the printed material face side down and hopefully the weight will flatten it out. other wise the printer works well, scans well, double sided printing and copying works well...

This product is great and wish we had purchase the one with color.
As a company, we make plenty of copies for our clients. The quality of the printer is excellent. We have had this printer for 3 years and only had one issue. We were able to handle this issue without a service call. Xerox did an excellent job in building this printer. Kudos!!!!!!

This product prints very well and is quick.
The only problem I have with this product is that it will not print something unless it is letter size. Each time I try to print a copy of something smaller, it will not print, so I have to place a piece of plan paper in on top of the paper I am trying to print. It does print quickly and nicely.

I love the speed at which it prints and scans.
I like the way it prints and scans. My previous printer was very slow and would stop in the middle of a job. It would jam quite often also. So far the Xerox has been far superior. I would definitely buy another one.
