Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox WorkCentre 5740 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 A3 B&W output at 50,000-100,000 pages monthly.
  • You handle two-sided originals constantly and want a duplex DADF.
  • You want booklet making and hole punching from the Advanced Office Finisher.
  • You're buying a refurb at a meaningful discount with toner committed.
  • You already operate other 5700-series machines and stock parts.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you print 30,000-50,000 pages monthly with headroom.
  • It's fine if you mostly run letter and use tabloid occasionally.
  • It's fine if you skip finishing and staple externally.
  • It's fine if your network is wired and you don't need native wireless.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need long-term parts certainty.
  • Skip this if you need color.
  • Skip this if you need wireless or mobile printing natively.
  • Skip this if you want a desktop or compact MFP.
  • Skip this if you push past 100,000 pages monthly — go to the 5755.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox WorkCentre 5740 is a 40 ppm A3 monochrome MFP from the 5700 series, sized for workgroups handling 50,000-100,000 pages monthly. It prints, copies, scans, and faxes across letter, legal, and tabloid with a duplex DADF for two-sided originals, output up to 1200 x 1200 dpi, and standard paper handling around 2,100 sheets expandable via high-capacity feeder. Finishing options include the Integrated Office Finisher and Advanced Office Finisher with hole punch and booklet making. Wired Ethernet and USB connectivity, security via Secure Print and 802.1x. The regret on this one: like the rest of the 5700 series, it's discontinued — Xerox moved on to the 5800 then 5900 line, and parts pipelines are thinning. Worth it on a sharp refurb price if your dealer can guarantee 18-24 months of consumables. Toner cartridge yield runs in the 35,000-page range and the legacy Xerox touchscreen interface is functional but dated. Scan-to-email and scan-to-folder ship standard, and the 5700 series predates AirPrint so mobile printing requires a print server bridge.

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.

FAQ

Xerox WorkCentre 5740, common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Xerox WorkCentre 5740 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner typically yields around 30,000 pages at 6% coverage. The replacement toner model is the Xerox 006R01046 (or 6R1046), which comes in a 2-pack yielding approximately 64,000 pages (or 32,000 pages per cartridge). When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Xerox WorkCentre 5740 is a 40 ppm monochrome MFP designed for workgroups handling 50,000-100,000 pages monthly, while the Xerox AltaLink B8145 is a 45 ppm floor-standing MFP built for higher volumes up to 200,000 pages monthly. The AltaLink B8145 offers a larger standard paper capacity (3,140 sheets vs. 2,100 sheets), a faster single-pass duplex document feeder (141 images per minute), and a more modern 10.1-inch customizable touchscreen. The WorkCentre 5740 is discontinued, making parts and support harder to find, whereas the AltaLink B8145 is a current model with better long-term support. For small offices with moderate print needs, the WorkCentre 5740 may suffice, but the AltaLink B8145 is better suited for larger workgroups requiring higher volume and advanced features.
The Xerox WorkCentre 5740 is suitable for small businesses with moderate to high print volumes, as it handles 50,000-100,000 pages monthly and offers a print speed of 40 ppm. It includes features like duplex printing, scanning, and faxing, making it versatile for office tasks. However, it is a monochrome printer and has been discontinued, which may affect long-term support and parts availability. For businesses needing color printing or higher reliability, consider upgrading to a commercial option like the Xerox AltaLink series.
No, the Xerox WorkCentre 5740 is a monochrome printer and only prints in black and white. If you need color printing, consider alternatives like the Xerox VersaLink C405, Xerox AltaLink C8135, or Xerox WorkCentre 6515.
