AltaLink C8100 Series of Printers – Xerox

The Xerox AltaLink C8100 Series comprises five colour A3 multifunction printers — C8130, C8135, C8145, C8155 and C8170 — built for teams and departments where printing is a daily working tool: medium to large businesses, public administrations, firms and practices, as well as individuals or clients sharing one device between several intensive users. Each model matches a pace, from 30 ppm for the C8130 to 70 ppm for the C8170, with monthly volumes of up to 300,000 images depending on the model, and 1200 x 2400 dpi resolution for vivid colours and crisp text.

Day to day, Xerox ConnectKey technology turns the machine into a genuine work assistant: the tablet-like touch interface can be personalised per user, and built-in apps bridge paper and digital — scanning with automatic document routing, document translation, audio file conversion and turning handwritten notes into digital text. Mobile printing is native via AirPrint and Xerox Print Service for Android, with no complex setup. Security covers both the device and the network: Trusted Boot verified start-up, Trellix whitelisting that detects and blocks threats in real time, and integrations with Trellix ePO and Cisco ISE to manage the security of an entire fleet from your existing tools. Optional finishing modules — stapling, folding, creasing — deliver ready-to-distribute documents.

Compared with the VersaLink C7100 Series, its neighbour in the range, the difference is not image quality (identical 1200 x 2400 dpi resolution) but stamina: the C8100 starts at 30 ppm, where the C7100 tops out, climbs to 70 ppm and handles monthly volumes up to three times higher, with fleet-grade security (Trellix ePO, Cisco ISE). For a small workgroup short on space, the compact C7100 remains a sound choice; once the device becomes the central print point of a floor or department, the C8100 takes over.

At D&O Partners, the AltaLink C8100 Series is available for purchase, rental or leasing, with installation, network configuration and interface personalisation by our certified technicians, across Belgium. Our maintenance contracts include on-site support and cartridges delivered within 48 hours, and we take back your used consumables through the Xerox take-back programme for recycling — an eco-responsible print cycle from first page to end of life.

FAQ:

What is the difference between the AltaLink C8100 and the VersaLink C7100?
Both series share the same resolution (1200 x 2400 dpi), but the C8100 is built for stamina: it starts at 30 ppm — the C7100’s maximum — and climbs to 70 ppm, with monthly volumes up to three times higher and reinforced fleet-management security (Trusted Boot, Trellix ePO, Cisco ISE). The C7100 remains the right choice for small workgroups with limited space.

Which C8100 model should I choose for my print volume?
The series offers five speeds: C8130 (30 ppm), C8135 (35 ppm), C8145 (45 ppm), C8155 (55 ppm) and C8170 (70 ppm), with maximum monthly volumes of up to 300,000 images depending on the model. Our certified technicians will help you size the device to your actual usage.

Can I print from a smartphone on the AltaLink C8100?
Yes: mobile printing is native via AirPrint for Apple devices and Xerox Print Service for Android, with no complex installation. The tablet-like touch interface can also be personalised per user.

What security features does the C8100 Series include?
Full protection of both device and network: Trusted Boot verified start-up, Trellix whitelisting that blocks threats in real time, and Trellix ePO and Cisco ISE integrations to administer security across your entire print fleet.
