Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox AltaLink B8045 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 workgroup of 30-100 people printing 15,000-75,000 mono pages a month.
  • You scan large stacks of mixed-size originals daily — 200-sheet single-pass duplex DADF at 200 ipm clears them fast.
  • You need A3 (11x17) mono output for spreadsheets, schematics, or legal exhibits.
  • You want a ConnectKey-platform device with App Gallery, Workplace Suite, and unified address book across your fleet.
  • You need McAfee Embedded Control whitelisting and Common Criteria certification for legal, healthcare, or government work.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 75,000-150,000 pages/month — the engine handles bursts but you're using more drum life than recommended; consider the B8055 or B8065.
  • You want Wi-Fi out of the box — wireless requires the optional Xerox USB Wireless Adapter (around $150).
  • You need a finisher with hole-punch and booklet-making — the Office Finisher with Booklet Maker bolts on but adds 24 inches to the width.
  • You're consolidating from a Canon imageRUNNER or Konica bizhub of similar speed — operators adapt to the 10.1-inch ConnectKey panel in a couple weeks.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 5,000 pages a month — this is a 249-lb floor-standing A3 MFP, you're paying for capacity you won't use.
  • You need color — this is mono only. Look at the AltaLink C8030/C8035 for a similarly-sized color MFP.
  • You want desktop or compact footprint — base unit is 33.5 x 26.2 x 45.3 inches and 249 lb.
  • You don't have a 110V/15A dedicated circuit — running it on a shared circuit will trip breakers under load.
  • You need ENERGY STAR certification — the B8045 (and B8055) configurations are excluded from ENERGY STAR; the B8065/B8075/B8090 qualify.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox AltaLink B8045 is a floor-standing A3 mono laser multifunction printer built on the ConnectKey platform for workgroups of 30-100 people. It prints and copies up to 45 ppm at 8.5x11/A4 and 31 ppm at 11x17/A3, with first-page-out as fast as 3.9 seconds and a 175,000 page monthly duty cycle (Xerox recommends 15,000-75,000 pages/month). The 200-sheet single-pass Duplex Automatic Document Feeder scans up to 200 images per minute B&W duplex — one of the strongest scanners in this speed class. Standard paper capacity is 1,100 sheets (500+500 in trays 1 and 2 plus 100-sheet bypass), expandable to 4,600 with the High Capacity Tandem Tray (1,600+2,000) and to 8,000 with the optional 3,300-sheet HCF. The 10.1-inch color ConnectKey touchscreen runs Workplace Suite, the Xerox App Gallery (Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Office 365, Salesforce), and the unified address book that spans the whole AltaLink fleet. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0 standard; Wi-Fi Direct, NFC, and Apple AirPrint are optional via the USB wireless adapter. McAfee Embedded Control, AES 256-bit drive encryption, FIPS 140-2, and Common Criteria HCD-PP v1.0 certification cover the security checklist for legal, healthcare, and gov customers. The thing buyers regret: paying for A3 they don't use. If 90% of your jobs are letter/legal, the smaller VersaLink B600 series gets you most of the way at a third the footprint.

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.
