Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox VersaLink C505 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...

  • Pick this if you print 3,000-7,500 color pages a month for a 15-30 person office.
  • Pick this if a 7-inch tablet UI with ConnectKey apps is a daily workflow tool.
  • Pick this if 43 ppm color and integrated duplex match your throughput.
  • Pick this if you need fax built in alongside print/copy/scan.
  • Pick this if 1,200 x 2,400 dpi color resolution matters for your output.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your real volume is 2,000-3,000 pages — you have headroom.
  • It's fine if you mostly print mono with steady color.
  • It's fine if you connect via wired Ethernet primarily.
  • It's fine if you accept the gap between C405 and C605 is narrow.
  • It's fine if you can verify current spec details from Xerox docs before buying.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if your monthly volume is under 1,500 pages — the C405 saves money.
  • Skip this if you push 9,000+ color pages — step up to the C605.
  • Skip this if you need A3 / tabloid — get the C7000.
  • Skip this if you need inline finishing (stapling, booklet).
  • Skip this if you only print mono — the B405 or B605 covers it for less.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox VersaLink C505 is a 43 ppm color A4 MFP that sits between the C405 and C605: print, copy, scan, fax, integrated duplex on print and scan, support for 1,200 x 2,400 dpi color, Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB connectivity, and the 7-inch tablet-style touchscreen running ConnectKey apps. Recommended monthly load is around 3,000-7,500 color pages. The honest catch: Xerox's marketing on this model is thin (the spec sheet I have is light on hard numbers), so verify standard memory, RAM, ADF size, and duty cycle from current Xerox documentation before committing. The 43 ppm speed is real but in real-world office use the gap between the C405 (35 ppm) and C605 (53 ppm) is narrow enough that the C505 sometimes feels like a middle option that's hard to justify. Best fit: 15-30 person offices that have outgrown the C405 but don't yet need the C605's higher capacity.

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.
