Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox VersaLink C500DN 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 small office or workgroup of 5-15 people that prints color in-house and doesn't need scan/copy/fax.
  • You print 1,500-8,000 pages a month and want headroom — this is rated for 120,000 and Xerox recommends staying under 10,000.
  • You need 45 ppm color and black on letter and don't print legal or anything bigger than 8.5x14 in.
  • You want the same toner platform across multiple printers — the C500 shares cartridges with the C505 MFP.
  • You need a printer that drops into a Xerox-managed fleet (CentreWare Web, Workplace Suite, AMR meter reads).
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 12,000 pages a month — the machine handles it but you'll burn through extra-high-cap toner faster than the lease math assumes.
  • You want Wi-Fi — it's an optional kit (497K16750), not standard. Plan ~$150-200 extra.
  • You occasionally need 2,000-sheet input — the high-capacity feeder (097S04948) is letter/A4 only and adds a caster base under the printer.
  • You print on cardstock or labels regularly — bypass tray handles up to 80 lb. cover, just feed it manually.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need to scan or copy — this is print-only. Look at the C505 MFP on the same chassis.
  • You need 11x17 (tabloid/A3) — max sheet size is 8.5x14 legal. Get a C7000 or C8000 instead.
  • You print under 500 pages a month — the standard-capacity toner alone costs more than a year of supplies on a desktop unit. Get a smaller printer.
  • You need wireless out of the box without buying accessories — the base C500/DN ships wired only.
  • You need a hard drive for secure print or job storage — the 320 GB HDD is an optional Productivity Kit (497K18360).
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox VersaLink C500/DN is a desktop color laser printer for small workgroups and offices of 5-15 users that need 45 ppm color in-house but don't need scan, copy, or fax. It prints up to 45 ppm in both black and color (letter, long-edge feed), drops to 37 ppm on legal, and supports automatic two-sided printing standard. First page out is 5.0 seconds black / 5.3 seconds color, resolution is 1200 x 2400 dpi, and the unit is rated for a 120,000-page monthly duty cycle (Xerox recommends staying under 10,000 for sane toner economics). Standard paper capacity is 700 sheets across the 150-sheet bypass and 550-sheet Tray 1, expandable to 3,250 sheets with up to four optional 550-sheet feeders or the 2,000-sheet HCI. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus USB 3.0 standard; Wi-Fi/NFC are an optional kit. The 5-inch capacitive color touchscreen runs Xerox ConnectKey apps from the App Gallery, and the unit slots cleanly into a Xerox managed-fleet contract with AMR meter reads and ASR auto-supplies. The thing buyers regret: paying for an enterprise toner platform on a desktop printer. If you print under 500 pages a month, look at a smaller unit. If you need scan/copy/fax, get the C505 on the same chassis.

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

  • "We got this for our small marketing office and the color output is sharp, especially for client presentations. The duplex printing saves us paper and the network setup was straightforward. Only wish the toner cartridges weren't so pricey but the machine itself is solid."
  • "We upgraded from an older Canon and this C500DN handles our office's color printing way better. The scan-to-email feature saves us so much time, and the paper tray capacity means we're not constantly refilling."
  • "Good machine overall for a small law office. Color quality is solid and the duplex printing cuts our paper use in half. My only complaint is the initial setup took longer than expected and the manual wasn't super clear."
  • "This thing just works. Been printing hundreds of pages a month for over a year with barely any issues. The mobile printing through the app is convenient and the security features give me peace of mind in our office."
  • "Solid printer for a busy marketing team. Fast enough and the color output is consistent. Toner costs are what you'd expect for this class, nothing surprising. Support was responsive when we had a firmware question."
