Black-and-White B225 Multifunction Printer – Xerox

The Xerox B225 is a compact monochrome A4 multifunction printer built for individual workstations, very small organisations and home offices: freelancers, professionals, remote workers, satellite offices — as well as individuals or clients who need to print, copy and scan on a single machine, in a minimal footprint.

A word on sizing, because it determines satisfaction: the B225 prints at 34 pages per minute, but its recommended volume is 2,500 pages per month, for a maximum cycle of 30,000 images. This is a workstation machine, not a shared departmental one. If your office prints several thousand pages a month, the B305 or B315 will be better sized — and our advisers will tell you so before the sale rather than after the first breakdown.

Within its scope, it lacks nothing essential. Two trays for a total of 251 sheets, duplex as standard, a 50-sheet automatic document feeder, direct scanning to email or desktop. Wi-Fi is built in (802.11 b/g/n), with Wi-Fi Direct and secure wireless printing, alongside Ethernet and USB. Mobile compatibility covers AirPrint, Mopria and Chromebook. It handles PostScript 3 and PCL5e/6, ensuring integration into an existing office environment. Setup requires no IT assistance thanks to Xerox Smart Start, and the Xerox Easy Assist app lets you manage it from a smartphone — two arguments that count when there is no IT department in the house. Security protects your sensitive data and documents, and the Xerox Workflow Central platform is available as an option for more elaborate document workflows. High-yield toner cartridges keep running costs low.

Compared with the Xerox B235, its direct neighbour, the comparison fits on one line: the B235 is the B225 with fax (plus a 2.8-inch touchscreen and a USB port for a stick). Speed, recommended and maximum volumes, paper capacity, print languages, Wi-Fi and environmental certifications are rigorously identical. The choice is therefore binary: if fax is useful to you — legal or medical professions, dealings with certain government bodies — take the B235. If it is of no use, the B225 does exactly the same job for a lower budget.

FAQ:

What is the difference between the Xerox B225 and the Xerox B235?

A recommended volume of 2,500 pages per month, with a maximum cycle of 30,000 images. It is a workstation or very small organisation machine. Beyond that, our certified technicians will steer you towards a B305 or B315, which are more durable.
