Rated 5 out of 5 by from EXCELLENT ALL IN ONE Printer works perfectly for the workload we have. Can print large amounts in the matter of seconds. Able to email directly from printer from our personal email accounts. Color is not washed out like some of the previous printers we have had. Very vibrant coloring. Just a really great printer with various features.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great 4-in-1 Printer Printer is great for the office. Covers all the necessary tasks we do on a daily basis such as printing documents, copying, scanning, faxing, and emailing. Print quality is really high standard. Overall love the printer and it satisfies all our printing needs.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Challenging Printer We have had this new printer since January 12th, 2018 and it is very different from our Xerox Colorcube 8700 and challenging. I have been searching for a video with step by step instructions and of course I don't see it. So I'm reading the instructions and playing with it so I can teach my co-workers how to use it. I will not stop trying until I understand almost everything about this multi functional printer.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great business all-in-one machine Having used several lower grade systems and always being frustrated with slow print speeds, slow warm-up, poor print quality, and numerous toner issues, I decided to invest in a higher quality multi-function system. The C505 was relatively easy to set up and integrate into the network (I would have loved built-in wireless but running a wire wasn't too hard). It took me about 4 hours to set up all of the features that I planned on using and connect my office computers to it. Once set up, the system has proven to be better than I expected. It warms up very quickly, prints at lightning speed (even dual-sided prints), and is very reliable. Scanning is quick and easy as is scan-to-email which we use significantly. It's been running for about 2 months now and I am extremely pleased with it. Well worth the investment!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Waste of $$$ Bought this for our small business, at first, print testing was great. When we needed to print envelopes, labels, brochures, etc., the problem began. Printing from the bypass tray does NOT work, we were able to get it to print once and that was it! We resetted the system dozens of times. It was just a waste of time we had spent on trying to resolves the issues. We went online looking for answers and it was hopeless. We used another inexpensive printer that did the job and ended up using the Xerox printer for regular letter size printing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Affordable all in one for small business Setting up the scan to email feature was tricky, but otherwise we were able to get this printer set up without the help of an IT professional. Great printer/scanner/copier ( we do not use the fax feature so cannot comment on it) to get the job done at an affordable price.

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 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 505 Hi. This multi-function printer is working perfectly as described. I have sent many copies to the printer from my computer and it works great. I spent about 2 hours with three Xerox people to get the equipment working, but it was worth the time. The copies are fresh and clear, the scanner is absolutely fantastic. I am very happy with this machine. You should get one! Thanks

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great for a home office We'd become used to an older high-end HP Color Laser. The C505 came highly recommended, and we took the chance. For our b&w and color needs, and for speed, we've been very pleased. We still have to train ourselves on available options, ... and there are many!

For our small busy office this printer gives us everything we need.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This is just an average machine The color quality is not the best, certain colors will copy but not print, and it is very quirky printing some PDF documents.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Printer This print quality on this model is great and the print speed is too, but the scan feature is difficult to set up and if you run out of ink in just one color cartridge, you are completely shut down from printing....you cannot even print in black and white. Otherwise, it is a great printer and our office loves it!

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
