B230 Monochrome Laser Printer – Xerox

The Xerox B230 is a compact monochrome A4 printer — printing only, with no scanner or copier — built for individual workstations, tight spaces and home offices: freelancers, remote workers, professionals, satellite offices and local branches — as well as individuals or clients who want a reliable professional printer without paying for features they will never use.

A word on sizing, because it determines satisfaction: the B230 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 B310 will be better calibrated — our advisers will tell you so before the sale rather than after the first breakdown.

Within its scope, it is complete and well built. Duplex is fitted as standard. Paper capacity is 250 sheets, with a manual feed for special media. Wi-Fi is standard (802.11 b/g/n), with Wi-Fi Direct, alongside Ethernet and USB: the machine is placed and connects, with no network cable. Mobile printing covers Apple AirPrint, Mopria and Chromebook. Setup requires no IT assistance thanks to Xerox Smart Start software, 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. It runs quietly, which is no small matter in a home office or open-plan space. Advanced security features protect your sensitive data, and high-yield toner cartridges keep running costs low.

Compared with the Xerox B225, its direct neighbour, the comparison fits on one line: the B225 is the B230 with copying and scanning. Speed (34 ppm), recommended and maximum volumes, paper capacity, standard Wi-Fi and environmental certifications are rigorously identical. The choice is therefore purely functional: if you need to scan or copy, take the B225; if you only print, the B230 does exactly the same printing job for a lower budget. And if you need fax, it is the B235 — the only one of the three to offer it, with a 2.8-inch touchscreen.

At D&O Partners, the Xerox B230 is available for purchase, rental or leasing, with installation and configuration by our certified technicians, across Belgium. Our maintenance contracts include on-site support and cartridges delivered within 48 hours. EPEAT and ENERGY STAR certified, it is covered by Xerox’s Green World Alliance programme for recycling used cartridges. A small machine at D&O is still a machine that gets followed up: same contract, same responsiveness.

FAQ:

What is the difference between the Xerox B230 and the Xerox B225?
The B225 adds copying and scanning. Everything else is identical: 34 ppm, 2,500 recommended pages per month, a 30,000-image maximum cycle, standard Wi-Fi, the same certifications. Need to scan: B225. Otherwise: B230, cheaper for the same printing job.

Can the Xerox B230 scan or copy?
No. It is a printer: its standard function is printing. To scan and copy, you need the B225; to add fax and a touchscreen, the B235.

What volume is the Xerox B230 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, our certified technicians will steer you towards a B310, which is more durable.

Is the Xerox B230 an eco-responsible choice?
It is EPEAT and ENERGY STAR certified, its high-yield cartridges cut cost per page and waste, and it is covered by Xerox’s Green World Alliance programme for recycling used cartridges, which D&O Partners manages with you.
