Monochrome B235 Multifunction Printer – Xerox

The Xerox B235 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 all four functions (print, copy, scan, fax) in a minimal footprint.

Let’s be precise about sizing, because that is where satisfaction and machine lifespan are decided: the B235 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 departmental one. If your office prints several thousand pages a month, the B305 or B315 will fit better — our advisers would rather say so before the sale than after the first maintenance contract.

Within its scope, it is complete. Two trays for a total of 251 sheets, duplex as standard, an automatic document feeder, a 2.8-inch colour touchscreen giving direct access to the essential functions. Wi-Fi is built in (802.11 b/g/n), with Wi-Fi Direct, alongside Ethernet and USB: it is placed and connects, with no network cable. Mobile compatibility covers AirPrint, Mopria and Chromebook. It handles PostScript 3 and PCL5e/6, ensuring compatibility with existing office environments. Setup requires no IT support thanks to Xerox Smart Start, and the Xerox Easy Assist app lets you manage it from a smartphone. Advanced security features protect your sensitive data, and the Xerox Workflow Central platform is available as an option to convert, share and protect your documents. High-capacity toner cartridges and efficient energy management keep running costs low.

Compared with the Xerox B305, its direct neighbour in our catalogue, the difference is not cosmetic. The B305 prints at 38 ppm and, above all, supports 8,000 recommended pages per month versus 2,500 — more than triple — with a maximum cycle of 80,000 images versus 30,000, and it is Blue Angel certified, which the B235 is not. Conversely, the B235 has fax, which the B305 lacks. The right call: if you need fax in a very lean setup, the B235 is made for you; if your volume exceeds 2,500 pages per month, move up to the B305 — and if you want both, fax and volume, the B315 is the one to look at.

At D&O Partners, the Xerox B235 is available for purchase, rental or leasing, with installation and configuration by our certified technicians, across Belgium.

FAQ:

What is the difference between the Xerox B235 and the Xerox B305?
The B305 is faster (38 ppm versus 34) and far more durable: 8,000 recommended pages per month versus 2,500, with a maximum cycle of 80,000 images versus 30,000. It is also Blue Angel certified. The B235, however, has fax, which the B305 lacks. Fax in a small setup: B235. Volume: B305. Both: B315.

What volume is the Xerox B235 designed for?
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 volume, our certified technicians will steer you towards a more durable model — in your interest as much as ours.

Does the Xerox B235 have Wi-Fi and fax?
Yes to both: Wi-Fi is built in as standard (802.11 b/g/n, with Wi-Fi Direct), and fax is among the standard functions, alongside printing, copying and scanning.

Is the Xerox B235 an eco-responsible choice?
It is EPEAT and ENERGY STAR certified, with high-capacity cartridges and efficient energy management, and is covered by Xerox’s Green World Alliance programme for recycling used cartridges. Note: if the Blue Angel ecolabel is a criterion for you, look at the B305 and B315, which carry it.
