Are you tired of settling for mediocre office equipment that doesn’t meet your high standards? Look no further! In today’s post, we’re diving deep into the exciting world of Xerox® multifunction printers and comparing two of their most popular Xerox® lineups – the Xerox® Versalink Office Copiers and AltaLink Office Printers.

We’ll explore how these printers can revolutionize your workflow, giving you the competitive edge you need to succeed. Our team will work with you to find the perfect printer that fits your company’s goals and needs because we know that no two businesses are the same. Whether you’re a busy office worker, a savvy entrepreneur, or just someone who loves the thrill of high-quality prints (hey, we don’t judge), this article is just for you.

Xerox® AltaLink vs. VersaLink: What is the difference between the two?

Let’s start with understanding the strengths of each printer according to what is best for you and your organization. The AltaLink and VersaLink multifunction printers cater to different office environments, so it’s important to choose the right fit for your needs. The AltaLink is a sturdy, floor-standing printer that’s built for large volume, big enterprise environments, while the VersaLink is more compact and mobile-ready, making it ideal for low-pace printing in small offices with merely 4-5 people.

The AltaLink has advanced printing features such as fast printing, multi-paper loading, and automatic double-sided printing. It also has the Smart Proximity Sensor, which detects people’s presence in the room and powers up or shuts down the copier accordingly. Meanwhile, the VersaLink requires the Xerox® app to complete printing jobs and lacks the Smart Proximity Sensor.

Each one stands out on its own when it comes to your specific office needs. Now, to help you make a wise choice, it’s only fair to know about their weaknesses as well.

In terms of security, AltaLink comes loaded with McAfee security features to enhance office security. On the other hand, VersaLink lacks these security features. It’s also worth noting that the AltaLink is only available as a multifunctional printer, whereas the VersaLink is available as both a single-use and multifunctional printer model.
