Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox VersaLink C500DN 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 small office or workgroup of 5-15 people that prints color in-house and doesn't need scan/copy/fax.
  • You print 1,500-8,000 pages a month and want headroom — this is rated for 120,000 and Xerox recommends staying under 10,000.
  • You need 45 ppm color and black on letter and don't print legal or anything bigger than 8.5x14 in.
  • You want the same toner platform across multiple printers — the C500 shares cartridges with the C505 MFP.
  • You need a printer that drops into a Xerox-managed fleet (CentreWare Web, Workplace Suite, AMR meter reads).
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 12,000 pages a month — the machine handles it but you'll burn through extra-high-cap toner faster than the lease math assumes.
  • You want Wi-Fi — it's an optional kit (497K16750), not standard. Plan ~$150-200 extra.
  • You occasionally need 2,000-sheet input — the high-capacity feeder (097S04948) is letter/A4 only and adds a caster base under the printer.
  • You print on cardstock or labels regularly — bypass tray handles up to 80 lb. cover, just feed it manually.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need to scan or copy — this is print-only. Look at the C505 MFP on the same chassis.
  • You need 11x17 (tabloid/A3) — max sheet size is 8.5x14 legal. Get a C7000 or C8000 instead.
  • You print under 500 pages a month — the standard-capacity toner alone costs more than a year of supplies on a desktop unit. Get a smaller printer.
  • You need wireless out of the box without buying accessories — the base C500/DN ships wired only.
  • You need a hard drive for secure print or job storage — the 320 GB HDD is an optional Productivity Kit (497K18360).
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox VersaLink C500/DN is a desktop color laser printer for small workgroups and offices of 5-15 users that need 45 ppm color in-house but don't need scan, copy, or fax. It prints up to 45 ppm in both black and color (letter, long-edge feed), drops to 37 ppm on legal, and supports automatic two-sided printing standard. First page out is 5.0 seconds black / 5.3 seconds color, resolution is 1200 x 2400 dpi, and the unit is rated for a 120,000-page monthly duty cycle (Xerox recommends staying under 10,000 for sane toner economics). Standard paper capacity is 700 sheets across the 150-sheet bypass and 550-sheet Tray 1, expandable to 3,250 sheets with up to four optional 550-sheet feeders or the 2,000-sheet HCI. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 3.0 standard; Wi-Fi/NFC are an optional kit. The 5-inch capacitive color touchscreen runs Xerox ConnectKey apps from the App Gallery, and the unit slots cleanly into a Xerox managed-fleet contract with AMR meter reads and ASR auto-supplies. The thing buyers regret: paying for an enterprise toner platform on a desktop printer. If you print under 500 pages a month, look at a smaller unit. If you need scan/copy/fax, get the C505 on the same chassis.
