Xerox loves to boast that it is the company that made the modern workplace and users are pleased to see that they are still innovating in the MFP category. What users are referring to is the ConnectKey technology, which is a suite of connected functionality, fronted by a 7-inch touchscreen that offers up a smorgasbord of apps instead of the traditional menu. These applications make a lot of tasks almost as intuitive as if you were using a smartphone.
Xerox recommends the VersaLink C7020 to small and medium-sized businesses, but users think it has the features and capacity to meet the demands of massive offices, although, for very high-volume printing, Xerox has the AltaLink range. With additional drawers on the printer, it can hold up to 5,140 sheets of paper. Meanwhile, Extra-High Capacity toner cartridges can print up to 23,600 pages.
Even in its most basic configuration, this is a massive unit, and weighing 92kg, it can be a struggle for two people to get it off the ground. Users can put it on a desk but it is very much a freestanding design to which you can add from a very strong catalog of accessories. That includes five different drawer units that ride on their own coasters and expand the paper capacity of the printer.
The form factor looks familiar too, with the scanner on top, the paper trays to the side, top and bottom, and a paper-out tray at the center. Where it differs from other printers in the market is the 7-inch tilting touchscreen display. The VersaLink C7020 comes with almost every feature that you can think of and more. The C7020 is positioned towards the top of the VersaLink product tree, it can accommodate A3 paper. This high-spec MFP supports scanning, printing, and faxing, connecting to a router via Ethernet for cloud services and remote access. It also has a WiFi direct connection for wireless printing when there is no internet service.
VersaLink Security features like Secure Print require a PIN at the machine to complete tasks and protect your documents. Password protection secures your PDF scans, and hard disk encryption safeguards documents stored on the printer before printing.
But the main selling point for Xerox is perhaps its tablet-style control panel. It presents the user with a selection of apps, instead of a menu, just like a smartphone. Access the settings menu through the Device app, and select the appropriate application for anything else.
One feature includes USB access, allowing you to choose options for any connected USB device. You can download more free and paid apps from the Xerox App Gallery. Xerox Easy Translator Service lets you scan foreign language text and print the English translation, adding a fun feature.
The VersaLink C7020 consistently delivers excellent quality for both black and white and color documents. Text is particularly impressive when you reduce the point size to try and induce smudging or blocking. Colorful documents and maps also demonstrate its consistency in print quality, especially when you are turning out A3-sized pages. It is fast too, with color documents taking no longer than monoprints at 20 ppm.
