Xerox AltaLink C8035

The Xerox AltaLink C8035 is a floor-standing A3 color laser multifunction printer for workgroups of 10-40 people printing 5,000-15,000 color pages a month. It runs 35 ppm color and B&W (letter/A4), with first-page-out as fast as 6.4 seconds color / 5.2 seconds B&W and a 110,000-page monthly duty cycle. The 130-sheet single-pass Duplex Automatic Document Feeder scans 80 ppm simplex / 139 ipm duplex in color and B&W. Standard paper capacity is 1,140 sheets (two 520-sheet trays + 100-sheet bypass); the optional Four Tray Module expands that to 2,180 sheets and the High Capacity Tandem Tray to 3,140 sheets, with a 5,140-sheet ceiling using the optional 2,000-sheet HCF. Print is 1200 x 2400 dpi; copy is 600 x 600 dpi. The 10.1-inch ConnectKey color touchscreen runs Workplace Suite/Cloud and the Xerox App Gallery (Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Office 365, Google Drive, Salesforce). Connectivity standard is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0; Wi-Fi Direct and NFC are optional via the Xerox USB Wireless Adapter. The optional EX-c C8000 EFI Fiery print server adds production-grade RIP for shops doing PANTONE matching or variable data. Security stack includes McAfee Embedded Control, AES 256-bit drive encryption, FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria HCD-PP v1.0, and Cisco ISE compatibility. The thing buyers regret: not buying the Four Tray Module up front. With only two 520-sheet trays plus bypass standard, you spend the day reloading paper if you run mixed letterhead/plain/color stocks.
