Product Overview
The new Xerox VersaLink C8000 and C9000 joins other VersaLink and AltaLink devices that use the 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 C8000 ($2,589) prints at up to 45 ppm in black and color, while the C9000 ($4,099) prints at up to 55 ppm. Both devices include a 1.6 GHz processor and 4 GB of memory. The C9000 has a standard 320 GB hard drive, however that feature is only optional on the C8000.
First-print-out time is 11 seconds on the C8000 and 10.5 seconds on the C9000.
PCL, PostScript and PDF printing languages are supported. There’s a 5″ color touchscreen on each printer with a customizable user interface. The interface includes access to the Xerox App Gallery so users can download specific apps to help customize one-touch printing tasks that reflect their workloads.
USB and Ethernet connectivity are standard. Wi-Fi Direct is optional. Mobile printing is supported. Users can print from 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 C8000 and C9000 printers support printing from these following cloud accounts: Microsoft OneDrive, DocuShare, Google Drive and Dropbox.
The C9000 has additional color management features, such as the custom spot color editor and the optional Xerox Precise Color Management System software.
The VersaLink C8000 and C9000 printers help medium-to-large offices with high-volume printing needs maximize productivity.

With the exception of the 2,000-sheet trays and the bypass, the trays support tabloid-size (11″ x 17″) paper. Automatic duplexing is standard. The C8000 has a maximum monthly duty cycle of 205,000 pages, while the C9000’s monthly duty cycle is 270,000 pages.
