Product Overview
In 2017, Xerox released 29 new devices with its new ConnectKey technology that goes beyond traditional printing. Each ConnectKey device uses mobile and cloud technology as well as a tablet-like interface to access workflows. The 29 ConnectKey devices is broken down into two groups: VersaLink for small-to-medium-sized businesses and AltaLink for larger companies.
The VersaLink B7000 Series is a family of three printer-multifunctionals targeted to SMBs. One difference between these devices and the VersaLink B405DN is that the B7000 Series accept 11″ x 17″ (tabloid-sized) paper while the B405 does not.
All three devices include standard printing, copying and scanning with optional faxing. Here is a breakdown of each MFP:
- The VersaLink B7025 ($6,100) prints and copies at 25ppm and has a monthly duty cycle of 107,000 pages.
- The VersaLink B7030 ($7,100) prints and copies at 30ppm and has a monthly duty cycle of 129,000 pages.
- The VersaLink B7035 ($8,100) prints and copies at 35ppm and has a monthly duty cycle of 153,000 pages.
All three MFPs has a 1.05GHz processor, 2GB of memory and a 320GB hard drive.
There is also a 7″ color touchscreen with a touch-and-swipe user interface that resembles mobile devices. They also comes with access to the Xerox App Gallery so users can download specific apps to help customize one-touch printing tasks that reflect their workloads.
PCL is standard but PostScript is optional. USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi Direct connectivity are standard. The B7000 Series support mobile printing and scanning. Users can print from and scan to a variety of apps, such as Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Mopria, Xerox Print Service Plug-in for Android and Near Field Communication (NFC) devices.
The B7000 Series support printing from and scanning to these following cloud accounts: Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft 365, DocuShare, Google Drive and Dropbox.
And finally, for companies with limited or very busy IT staff, there’s an installation wizard that guides the user in setting up the device and connecting it to their servers.
