Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox AltaLink C8135 with high-capacity tandem tray 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 20-60 people that prints high A4/letter volume — a school office, a medical practice, a small law firm — and needs to refill less often.
  • You print 5,000-12,000 mixed mono/color pages a month — duty cycle is 110,000, recommended volume comfortably covers that.
  • You scan multi-page color originals daily — single-pass DADF runs 82 ppm simplex / 141 ipm duplex.
  • You want 3,140 sheets standard so the front desk reloads every two weeks instead of twice a week.
  • You're standardized on Xerox ConnectKey with enterprise security (Trusted Boot, Trellix whitelisting, FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria).
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 3,000-5,000 pages a month — overbuilt for that, but the reload schedule and growth headroom justify it.
  • You need maximum capacity beyond 3,140 — the optional 3,000-sheet HCF pushes total to 6,140, but it's an extra ~$1,500-2,500 and a footprint hit.
  • You want Wi-Fi standard — NFC is built in, but Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi Direct is the optional Dual Band Wireless Kit.
  • You need many different paper stocks loaded at once — pick the four-tray module version (id 1390) instead. The HCTT trades A3/SRA3 flexibility on Trays 3/4 for A4 capacity.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 2,000 pages a month — get a VersaLink C505 (smaller, less expensive, same color quality at lower duty cycle).
  • You need 45+ ppm — step up to the C8145, C8155, or C8170. The C8135 caps at 35 ppm.
  • You print mostly tabloid (11x17) or SRA3 — the high-capacity tandem trays (Trays 3 and 4) only do letter/A4. Your A3 jobs come from Trays 1, 2, or the bypass.
  • You're tight on floor space — base footprint is 24.4 x 28.5 x 44.5 in. and weighs 316 lb. Floor furniture.
  • You don't have a Xerox dealer or managed print contract — sold through dealer channels.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox AltaLink C8135 with high-capacity tandem tray is a floor-standing A3 color laser MFP built for workgroups of 20 to 60 users that print high A4/letter volume and want fewer paper reloads. It prints and copies up to 35 ppm in color and black, scans at 82 ppm simplex / 141 ipm duplex from the 130-sheet single-pass DADF, and is rated for a 110,000-page monthly duty cycle. Standard paper capacity is 3,140 sheets across two 520-sheet adjustable trays plus an 867+1,133 sheet HCTT — expandable to 6,140 sheets with the optional 3,000-sheet HCF. The 10.1" tablet-like color touchscreen runs the ConnectKey stack (Workflow Central, App Gallery, Fleet Orchestrator) and supports the same enterprise security profile as every other AltaLink (Trusted Boot, Trellix Embedded Control, FIPS 140-3, Common Criteria, McAfee ePO and Cisco ISE integration). The HCTT-vs-four-tray-module decision: HCTT trades two SRA3-capable trays for one big 2,000-sheet A4 stack. Pick this when your A4/letter volume is the bottleneck; pick the four-tray module (id 1390) when you need four separately-loaded paper stocks. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 2.0 standard; Wi-Fi is an optional kit. Buyers regret: getting the HCTT and then realizing they actually print mostly tabloid — the HCTT trays are letter/A4 only, so all your A3 work runs off Trays 1, 2, or the bypass.

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.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Xerox machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We got this for our office about a year ago and the tandem tray setup has been a game changer. No more babysitting the printer when we're doing large jobs. Color output is solid and we haven't had any major jams even with the high-capacity setup running constantly."
  • ★ "Good workhorse machine for our office, prints fast and the high-capacity tray is definitely worth it. My only complaint is the learning curve on the finishing options took longer than expected."
  • ★ "Running a short-run print shop, this handles our mixed jobs well. The C8135 is reliable but it's definitely an investment if you're just starting out."
