Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox AltaLink C8045 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a department of 25-75 people printing 8,000-20,000 color pages a month and need A3 color in-house.
  • You need a real finisher — Office Finisher LX, BR Finisher (3,000-sheet stacker, 50-sheet stapling), or BR Booklet Maker Finisher.
  • You scan high volumes — 130-sheet single-pass DADF at 80 ppm simplex / 139 ipm duplex color and B&W.
  • You're standardizing on Xerox ConnectKey across the fleet — same UI, same address book, same App Gallery.
  • You need McAfee whitelisting, FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria HCD-PP v1.0, and Cisco ISE for healthcare, legal, or government.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 20,000-30,000 pages/month — the 200K duty cycle covers it; consider the C8055 (300K duty) for a bit more headroom.
  • You want production-grade color — optional EX-c C8000 EFI Fiery print server adds RIP, PANTONE, variable data.
  • You need wireless — Wi-Fi Direct / NFC optional via Xerox USB Wireless Adapter.
  • You're moving from a Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5550i or Konica bizhub C458 — comparable color tier, operators adapt to the ConnectKey UI in a couple weeks.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 4,000 color pages/month — paying for a 321-lb floor-standing A3 device that will sit idle. Get the C8030 or VersaLink C7025.
  • You print over 30,000 pages/month — step up to the C8055 or C8070.
  • You don't need A3 — every job is letter — the VersaLink C500/C600/C7000 series at smaller footprint.
  • You don't have a 110V/15A dedicated circuit.
  • You need color resolution above 1200 x 2400 dpi for production-grade graphics or photo — look at the Color 550 or 770 production engines.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox AltaLink C8045 is a floor-standing A3 color laser multifunction printer for departments of 25-75 people printing 8,000-20,000 color pages a month. It runs 45 ppm color and B&W (letter/A4), with first-page-out as fast as 6.5 seconds color / 5.3 seconds B&W and a 200,000-page monthly duty cycle — twice the C8035. 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 High Capacity Tandem Tray gets you to 3,140 sheets, and the 2,000-sheet HCF caps the system at 5,140 sheets. Print is 1200 x 2400 dpi; copy is 600 x 600 dpi. Finishing options: Office Finisher LX with Booklet Maker, BR (Business Ready) Finisher with 3,000-sheet stacker and 50-sheet stapling, or BR Booklet Maker Finisher with saddle-stitch up to 16 sheets. 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/NFC optional. The optional EX-c C8000 EFI Fiery print server adds production-grade RIP. Security stack includes McAfee Embedded Control whitelisting, AES 256-bit drive encryption, FIPS 140-2, Common Criteria HCD-PP v1.0, and Cisco ISE compatibility. The thing buyers regret: choosing the C8045 when usage is closer to 5,000-8,000 pages/month. The C8035 is the same chassis at lower cost-per-click; size down if your real volume isn't there.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
