Xerox 510

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox 510 Wide Format Print System (and its 510dp Copy System variant) is a mono wide format CAD plotter built for small AEC firms, engineering offices, and in-house reprographics doing 800-3,000 D-size plots per month. It prints up to 10 D/A1 prints per minute at 400 x 400 dpi on roll media up to 36 inches wide (42-inch max input width, 36-inch image capture), with first plot out in about 12 seconds. The Print System variant ships printer-only; the 510dp adds an integrated wide format scanner for scan-to-network and copy workflows over FreeFlow Accxes. Standard configuration includes 3 roll drawers — operators can keep bond, vellum, and a backup roll loaded simultaneously. Footprint is 42.3 x 59.3 x 22.5 inches at 625 lb on a 115V / 20A circuit (no 220V required, which is the main reason small shops pick the 510 over the bigger 6050 / 6279 platform). Maximum monthly volume tops out around 400,000 sq ft. The thing buyers regret: 400 dpi is fine for line drawings but underwhelming for raster-heavy renderings — for GIS or photorealistic site visuals, the 6622 (600 x 1800 dpi) is the step up. We recommend the 510 to small AEC offices and university repro departments that print mid-volume CAD on a tight footprint and don't have 220V service. End-of-life new; readily available refurbished on the Accxes platform.
