Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox AltaLink C8170 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 need a high-speed color printer that handles up to 70 pages per minute in both black and color.
  • You require a large paper capacity of 6,140 sheets to minimize refills in a busy office.
  • You want auto duplex printing and scanning to save time and reduce paper waste.
  • You need support for multiple paper sizes, including A3/Tabloid and Legal, for versatile document handling.
  • You prefer a multifunction device that combines printing, copying, and scanning in one unit.
  • You need robust connectivity options like Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth for seamless integration.
  • You work in an enterprise environment where reliability and high monthly print volumes (8,000 pages) are essential.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You need a color printer but don’t require the fastest speeds on the market.
  • You print occasionally in high volumes but not consistently at the 8,000-page monthly capacity.
  • You want a workgroup printer but don’t need the full enterprise-level features.
  • You need basic wireless printing but don’t require advanced mobile printing features.
  • You handle a mix of paper sizes but mostly stick to standard A4/Letter and Legal.
  • You want a multifunction device but primarily use it for printing and occasional scanning.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need a compact or personal printer, as this is a large workgroup model.
  • You only print in black and white, making a color printer unnecessary for your needs.
  • You have very low print volumes, far below the 8,000-page monthly capacity.
  • You require a printer with specialized media handling, as this model supports standard media types only.
  • You need a budget-friendly option, as this is a premium enterprise-level printer.
  • You prefer a single-function printer, as this is a multifunction device with features you may not use.

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 4 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Xerox machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "We got this for our office last year and it's been reliable. Color output is sharp and the finishing options with the booklet maker have cut down on our outsourcing costs. Network setup took a minute but documentation was solid."
  • ★ "Good workhorse for a small print shop. Speed is decent and the touch interface is intuitive enough. My only complaint is toner costs are steep if you're doing high volume color work regularly."
  • ★ "Good machine overall for a mid-size office. Toner costs are reasonable and the finishing options work well. My only complaint is the user interface takes some getting used to if you're coming from a different brand."
  • ★ "Solid workhorse for our print room. The AltaLink handles high-volume jobs without slowing down, and the mobile printing integration actually works the way it's supposed to. Haven't had a major service issue in two years."

Yes. The MFC-L2759DW ships with a high-yield 4,500-page starter toner cartridge, which is roughly 3 to 6 months of toner for a typical small office. Replacement toner is Xerox TN830XL (high-yield, about 4,500 pages) or TN830 (standard yield, about 1,200 pages). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.

The Xerox AltaLink C8170 is the refreshed version of the MFC-L2750DW with updated firmware, a longer-life drum, and an expanded starter toner yield (4,500 pages versus 3,000). Print speed, automatic 2-sided print and scan, and connectivity are identical. For most small offices the 2759DW is the better long-term value because of the larger included toner.

Yes, for small offices printing under about 2,500 pages per month. It's fast at 36 ppm, handles auto 2-sided print and scan, supports Wi-Fi and Ethernet, and has a 50-page document feeder for multi-page scans. If you regularly print more than 5,000 pages per month or need color, step up to a commercial-grade multifunction printer — see our commercial printer options.

No. The MFC-L2759DW is monochrome (black and white) only. It cannot print color. If you need color, look at the Brother MFC-L3750CDW or a commercial color multifunction printer like the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX or Konica Minolta bizhub series.

Xerox includes a 1-year limited manufacturer warranty on the MFC-L2759DW when purchased new from an authorized reseller. 1-800 Office Solutions is an authorized Xerox reseller. Extended warranty and full-service maintenance plans are available through our managed print services bundle, which covers parts, labor, and on-site service for the life of the agreement.

Yes. Free delivery is included on every Xerox AltaLink C8170 order shipped within the continental United States. Most orders ship within 1 to 2 business days and arrive within 2 to 5 business days. Install guidance is available by phone or remote session at no extra cost.
