This product has great features, but I don't know how to use many of them.
I did not get a user manual; therefore, I can't utilize many of the features. I would like to be able to enjoy the new machine, but without a user manual, it's very difficult.

Only One Problem - ENVELOPES
The Versalink B405DN is a great printer, great scanner, great faxer, great copier. HOWEVER, to print envelopes you have to remember to release the fuser tension in the back of the printer before sending the print job (otherwise you'll get a crinkled envelope). Here's the process...Since my Versalink B405DN is sitting in a small 3-sided alcove, I have to get up from my desk/computer, walk to the printer, grab the 50 pound beast, lift and rotate it so I can access the back panel (if your printer is in a more open area, you might not need to rotate it to access the back). Now, to switch to envelope mode, open the back panel, lift the two green handles, then slide the two green switches inward, then lower the two green handles, close the back panel, walk back to the computer and tell it to print an envelope. It will perform the task quite admirably. If you have no more envelopes to print and you want to go back to regular printing/copying/faxing, then you need to open the back panel again, lift the two green handles, slide the two green switches outward, lower the two green handles, close the back panel, and (in my case) rotate the printer back to its original position. The only way I found to make this process easier was to make a lazy-susan spinner on which my printer now sits. Dealing with the fuser tension is still a maddening process, but at least now I won't get a hernia rotating the printer. This printer just replaced my 10 year old Canon ImageClass MF6550 which had zero extra steps for envelope printing. Without the envelope issue, I would have given the Versalink B405DN 5 stars and recommended it to a colleague. If you rarely print envelopes, then this is an awesome all-in-one printer and the Xerox phone technician that comes attached for one year really knows her stuff.

Full of advanced features
Out of the box, the unit is great. Struggled getting all of the software side of the unit configured properly. If I was swapping out an older MFP that had many features as this does, then it would be easy to configure. Certainly a great unit for small business, but a bit overkill for a residential use. Speed and quality are hands down awesome. Document feeder is pretty solid and works well.

Great office machine
We have one of these in our office and it gets the job done! it is our fastest machine, and for the most part super easy to use. The one downfall for me is how difficult it is to clear jobs when there is a jam, or disconnection from the internet. The you spend a lot of time waiting for the machine to load.

Constantly cleaning the scan glass
We had three 4150 WorkCentre machines and have replaced each with a Versalink b405. These machines need the scanning glass cleaned almost every day to ensure there are no lines. We are using link free cloths with alcohol.
The scanning glass strip on the 4150's created lines that needed to be cleaned maybe once every 2-3 weeks.
Nothing changed in our environment but these Versalinks. We scan customer docs that come from our back office systems and vendor docs that we receive with shipments. We didn't see this level of scanning lines until using the Versalink. Too bad.

Some good, some not so good.
I really like the speed it spits out copies and the printing, but I seriously dislike the speed of scanning just one page. When it's just one page, it has to run it back and forth three time. Multiple pages doesn't do that. I dislike the fact that if someone has opened a tray while it's awake, it has to be prompted that it's okay to continue. I'm sure there's probably a logical reason for these features, but it just seems like extra hoops to jump through for our office, especially since I have to come from another part of the office to press the "okay to continue" button if someone has opened a tray. The quality of the printing is great, I have no dislikes about that at all. After all is said and done, I guess I'd recommend the product, but I would be upfront in telling them what I disliked about it and therefore they could decide.

Everything works very well once the xerox experts helped me get everything to work. They had to take over my computer to make the programs to work propertly. They even suggested not to hook up the fax part of the printer. Other then that I like the printer.

Reliable, Fast, and Predictable Costs
I supplemented a color inkjet with the Xerox B405 Black & White Laser as the bulk of my printing (home office) does not require color. The cost to operate is predictable and Xerox has always been a reliable tool in my office. The unit is fast! It can be a bit difficult to setup however support is available as necessary.

Poor quality prints
Machine frequently prints streaks on the paper and prints too dark. We are constantly having to clean to try to get rid of the streaks. It does not have the capability of resetting the light/darken to default to something else, so you have to change it every time!!! The only thing good about this device is it prints multiple copies quickly.

Xerox copier
This product was purchased to be able to use one copier for both prescriptions and copies. I liked the fact that we can send email and faxes via email, directly from machine. After purchasing, found out that in order to use bypass tray for prescription paper, tray door HAS to be open, therefore in our way in the office. I did figure a way around that. I feel it's much slower on scanning our papers to patients' charts than old copier. We had to have salesman come back just to show us why copier was acting the way it was. In our defense, copier was delivered after office had gone home and there hadn't been any instructions on usage until after we all decided we hated the copier.

Great/Fast Customer Service
Overall, we love our B405 When using the printer, I had to do a special project with thick Card Stock. Somehow I left the setting on the printer and had to call Customer Service to help reset it to regular Letter paper. CS was great. Fast and efficient. We use this printer/copier all the time. Great replacement for our old Cannon.

Do Not Buy This Product
I thought with a name like Xerox I would receive a superior product and it is when it works. However, this printer constantly goes offline and it is connected by a cable. It is continually in error state or offline. I have to turn it off and back on at least twice a day. Trying to keep it working is a huge disruption to my day.

Not impressed
I do not like this machine. When you change the type of document being fed into the bypass tray, you have to take a minute to change the information on the screen for the document to feed properly, when feeding an envelope through the bypass tray the envelope wrinkles and looks very unprofessional. Having to change the information for the bypass feeder when I go from paper to envelope becomes time consuming and annoying. The Xerox machine that I had prior to this one did not require this data input. Proof that newer isn't always better.
I would love to have the old machine back!!!

The printer is a very good printer. It's fast and the print quality is great. The only issue my company is having is that we occasionally (unfortunately weekly if not twice a week) in order for some in the office to print, we will have to do a hard reset by unplugging the printer after we turn it off and let it sit for a minute before restarting it.

A problem solver
We reached out to Xerox due to issues we were having with another line of printers. We had very specific needs, custom label paper, stringent application requirements for the labels that required a good deal of ink adherence, etc.
After sending over samples, we had a very successful demonstration of the machine and its print output and, once on the ground, have had excellent results to date.
If anything, this machine actually has way more power than we actually utilize, giving us a broad area for expansion of services in the future. The print quality is so far unsurpassed for our very narrow requirements. I would recommend this printer to anyone, home or office.

Xerox service and communication is extremely poor
I'm writing about the situation where my Xerox VersaLink B405 Serial # 9HB925608 failed. I researched the various laser printers on the market for the printer capabilities within my price range. I chose what I believed to be the best choice, Xerox VersaLink B405 and it was delivered mid October.. Clearly I have made an expensive and troublesome mistake as failure occurred near the end of May and remains inoperative. I opened a service ticket #25717472 on June 4th.The Xerox representative on the phone assisted me in performing a variety of actions to verify the printer was indeed not working properly. Upon completion of these actions I was told a service technician would be dispatched. I offered to take the printer to a repair shop but was told it would be an on site service call. Very good so far but.... The service technician was very cordial, courteous and capable and I told him no big rush to return the printer to service however I never anticipated it would drag on this long. The technician has now visited 4 times over the past 76 days replacing various components in the printer. At the end of his last visit on August 11th the technician made contact with someone at Xerox and told me the printer was authorized to be replaced as it was no longer cost effective to attempt even more on site repairs. Xerox was contacted on August 17th in an unsuccessful attempt to learn when the printer replacement would be performed. I was informed by the Xerox representative that some additional information needed to be provided by the service technician so the resolution would be given a higher priority. Again Xerox did not contact me so on August 19th I called Xerox once more. Again I was told the same thing where there was some incomplete information on my service ticket that was required and the order for the replacement was not yet initiated pending some missing information. I asked why Xerox would not contact me and what I could do and was told to just keep calling until the problem is resolved. I also asked if Xerox treated all of their customers this way or was it just me and the reply was it should not happen like this. Of course I already knew that but again no resolution whatsoever except being told the service technician would be 'pinged' to contact me. So now it's about 3 months post failure and 76 days so far with the service and repair ticket in the hands of Xerox but I have absolutely zero information about when I can expect the replacement. Despite Xerox having my phone number, email address and physical mailing address I have had zero contact from Xerox this entire time, including the days since I was told the printer would be replaced. My decision and my strong advice to others is to avoid and never purchase any Xerox products.

Ever since this machine was set up, it has increased my office efficiency tremendously and eliminated too many worries as before. It has never broken down until now. Its printing speed is terrified! And the scanning is also excellent. The only issue that I cannot credit this machine is that it is hard to adjust to legal paper for its function.

Could be better
Faxing is inconsistent, it apparently isn't compatible with some digital phone lines. I could not set it up without outside help. Support was great in figuring out email, scaning, and error codes.

WORKING GREAT
Very satisfied with the machine and the ease of ordering. Greatest concern would be to keep it maintained and supplied. Hope to make use of the Xerox Lifetime Service via products directly from Xerox. Little concerned about getting sufficient notice in order to get supplies before it stops performing.

Xerox Printers Are User Friendly
I like the simplicity and ease of Xerox products. I used to work for a company who had the Xerox Work Center Pro, and I LOVED it. When i started working for my current employer, they had multiple desk top printers and only 2 laser printers. When we moved locations IT decided to invest in new, uniform printers. One request from everyone was the ability to have multiple trays. Since our lead IT guy had never had the experience with multi tray printers I suggested Xerox. He researched and approved, and now everyone is happy.

I would never purchase this product if I knew how poor it is.
We have a small office. We do a moderate amount of scanning and printing monthly. We continually experience scanning jams in the automatic feeder. The service is just as poor. They try to tell us we need to clean the scanner rollers out daily to keep the automatic feeder operating. Our previous scanner/printer devices do not require this. We had to purchase a backup device because Xerox does not stand by their product. I would not only never purchase the B405, I would never purchase a product that is manufactured by Xerox. Look to another device or you will regret your purchase.

Meets our Needs
Meets our office needs but setup was difficult and required several calls to Xerox tech support with our IT company. Please update your printers with the new admin passwords (beginning Jan. 2020) because the one listed in our package (received 1/2020) was the 2019 password and after troubleshooting, etc. we disabled our account and required additional calls to Xerox tech support. In total, we had four calls and several emails to Xerox during a normally easy and straight-forward installation. The Xerox customer service is great, however, and the reason that we will remain a customer.

Nice printer
Like this printer, gets a lot of use in my office. Wish the printing was just a tiny bit faster, but I think that's my server creating the slowness of printing non stop and having the delay it does. Copies are nice and clear.

Find another printer......terrible, great when it actually prints, but unfortunately not does NOT print often
Far to difficult to set up and use......every 2nd print job bluetooth or wireless hangs and creates error. Admin account frequently locks.....Pass!!! The easiest things....bluetooth or wireless 1 page print jobs require 15 minutes to reset everything. Terrible waste of $700

This is the worst printer I have ever had and the most expensive.
I have had nothing but problems with it. I have not even started using it and for minor jobs it misfunctions constantly. For instance, today, my husband tried to print from his computer again it did not print but it printed yesterday. I could print after my husband had a problem but now, the afternoon of the same day, it says the paper tray is incorrect and I only have one tray that I have been using. I want to return it but I cannot xerox provide online help but the help really did not know why the scanner and the printer had to be connected to a driver? I have had printers for 35 years and never has one been as ridiculous to use as this one.

Great multifunction printer
I have had my VersaLink B405 for 3 months. I and a medical biller and coder and I work from home. I didn't want something huge and bulky but could handle my needs. I use it to fax, copy, print and scan. It is TWAIN compliant, which is required for my job. The set up was very easy. The touchscreen is nice. So far I have not found anything that I cannot do with this machine; if I need to do something, there is a function for it. Print quality is good, speed is nice, multiple settings. If I could change one thing it would be the noise level. It's not loud, especially compared to other office machines, I just prefer a quieter machine. I recommend it for anyone.

Great choice for multi-user CPA/Tax Practice
When our old printer/copier/scanner died we had a choice to make. Go back to the expensive, larger printers or purchase this produce directly from Xerox. Certainly we made the right choice. The copier fits our needs perfectly. It was very easy to install the print drivers onto each of our four workstations. We had each workstation printing within minutes. Xerox support has also been great. We've set up our own app to scan to email. There's so much else that the copier will do, we just haven't gotten there yet. You'll not be disappointed.

Bought in April of 2019 and now it's shot
We bought this printer in April of 2019. Our office went remote in March of 2020 due to the pandemic. So we got one full year out of it and then would only use it occasionally, maybe a few pages here and there a month when someone would come in. Now it's completely shot. It will not go past the blue Xerox start screen, I cannot connect to the Embedded Web Server, and when I got it into the special boot mode to do a FACTORY INIT MODE reset it won't do anything but get stuck again on the blue Xerox start screen. Don't waste your money.

Blazingly fast and high end features
This is my fifth Xerox all-in-one, and it is far and away the best. Great speed, even from the scanner. Highly configurable to customize to just the way I use it. Excellent bypass tray. Totally worth the price. EConcierge free onsite service is possibly the best feature.

DISAPPOINTED
WE PURCHASED THIS FOR OUR OFFICE HOPING IT WOULD KEEP UP WITH THE DOCUMENT WE PRINT, SCAN, FAX, COPY. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PRODUCT. IT WAS NOT EASY TO SET UP AND GET GOING. THE INSTRUCTION BOOKLET HAS A ONE LINE DESCRIPTION FOR EACH STEP, WHICH IS NOT CLEAR. WE ACTUALLY HAD TO HOOK UP OUR OLD H.P. TO MAINTAIN OUR OFFICE NEEDS. SO THE XEROX SAT UNABLE TO BE USED BECAUSE WE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT WORK. WE FEEL WE SPENT TOO MUCH MONEY FOR SOMETHING THAT HARDLY WORKS RIGHT, IS TOO COMPLICATED TO SET UP AND USE AND IF YOU RUN OUT OF PAPER IN THE MAIN TRAY IT KICKS UP ERRORS AND DEFAULTS TO ANOTHER SETTING THAT WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT. THEN TO FIND OUT IF WE DID NOT PURCHASE THE PROTECTION PLAN WE HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA 50$ AN HOUR TO HAVE TECH SUPPORT??? I AM SURE I WILL NOT BE PLEASED WHEN I HAVE TO REPLACE THE TONER AND INK EITHER.... HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS CHOICE.

Terrible interface
We have this product on a lease. Initial set up was fine, but there are so many interface problems it is ridiculous. I constantly get error messages and failure to print. To print off envelopes is an unnecessary pain where you have to access the back of the machine. If you are a small office without a lot time to waste, get any other printer/copier than this. The copier is fine, but the feed jams A LOT, ruining originals. Don't use it.

Good quality print and great speed.
We have had this printer for about 6 months and have had only one problem. There was a bad storm and the electricity went out. when we came in in the morning the printer was not turning on. Needing a good printer, we were in a big hurt. Fearing the worst, we called for help and had a technician come out. It turned out all we had to do was unplug the printer for about 20 minutes and we were back in business. Not only are their printers great but I have a lot of regard for their technicians who could have milked us for an expensive repair or even a replacement! Thank you Xerox!

ALWAYS JAMS
WHEN it prints it's a fine printer. But this is the biggest piece of garbage that I have ever encountered in my 15 plus years working with office equipment. I along with others in the office have informed our boss to return it for a new machine (they're leased). DO NOT buy this printer unless you're a psycho who loves paper jams and so so print quality.

The only problem I have with this product is that it will not print something unless it is letter size. Each time I try to print a copy of something smaller, it will not print, so I have to place a piece of plan paper in on top of the paper I am trying to print. It does print quickly and nicely.

I love how I can access the control panel by IP address and actually control the touchscreen or see what the user is seeing. It has a lot of great features and so far we have 5 of these on contract at our company and I am a big fan of them. The UI is far more easier to use than other brands like the Konica-Minolta's that we used to have.

I was looking for a printer that was a bit more heavy duty than the typical HP's on the market. A printer that was more durable for a home office and would handle a fair amount of printing. Very happy with the B405. Great home business or small office printer.

Hard to set up scanner. Scanner does not keep settings
The printer has great quality of print and in fast. It also has many great features, Unfortunately, technical support is very limited and hard to get ahold of a live body. I had several issues with the scanning to my computer functions. Complicated and will dump the settings if you have a power outage. I had a bad experience with technical support. Eventually I did get some help from the last tech I talked to, and we resolved the issue, I would not recommend this product for scanning.

This product is the best one individual's office printer/scanner I have ever worked with throughout my 35 years in tax preparation
The command panel is user friendly and very easy to use without any need for reference to the manual. I have attached a second tray to contain legal paper and the printer integrated it very well. My only issue with the product is that the scanner on a random basis would produce a black scan of a colored original although the default is colored scans. In addition, 80% of the time, the scanned documents are not correctly leveled in the page with the original document either fed automatically through the feeding tray or aligned correctly on the flat bed. This is something that the technician for this model could not fix as the unalignment, as he described it, was minimal. I am a perfectionist, and I issue bound financial statements to my clients, and my eyes can catch any slanting in a scanned page immediately. This is the only item I have concerns about with this product. Otherwise, the product is perfect and rarely breaks down or experiences paper jams. I would highly recommend it.

Good Printer that is as good today as when new
I bought this printer in late 2017 for my one-person CPA firm. This printer has been a work horse since day one and does a great job whether printing tax returns, letter or envelopes. And it's also easy on the toner, too. I liked this printer so much that when I needed to replace my "road" printer I bought a Phaser. I buy my toner and drums through Xerox and participate in their e-Concierge program that provides extended warranty. Of course, the printers are so good that I haven't needed any service.

If zero stars existed, that would be my choice
We bought one of these at the recommendation of our tech guy. The first one failed within 15 minutes; stating there was no ink. We replaced the cartridge and it said the brand new 400 dollar cartridge had no ink. Nothing we did worked - we sent it back. Bought another new one from xerox - this one has had mulitple issues and now instead of sending the tech they promised, they are sending us a part. Who knows when that will come. If I win the lottery tomorrow, I will happily OfficeSpace this printer and never buy another.
