Fast and Compact B310 Black-and-White Printer – Xerox

The Xerox B310 is a monochrome A4 printer — printing only, with no scanner or copier — built for small businesses, home offices and remote workers: freelancers, professionals, small practices, local branches — as well as individuals or clients who already have a multifunction device for scanning and want a simple, fast, reliable black-and-white printer. It prints at 40 pages per minute, with a recommended volume of 6,000 pages per month and a maximum cycle of 80,000 images.

That figure of 6,000 pages deserves to be stated plainly, because it determines the machine’s lifespan: it is the regime of a small organisation, not that of a shared print department. If your office prints more, our advisers will steer you towards a more durable model — better to hear it before ordering than after the first breakdown.

Within its scope, the B310 lacks nothing. Duplex is fitted as standard. Wi-Fi is built in (802.11 b/g/n), with Wi-Fi Direct, alongside Ethernet and USB: the machine is placed and connects, with no network cable and no surcharge. Mobile printing covers Apple AirPrint, Mopria and Chromebook. Setup requires no IT support 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. Advanced security features protect your data, and the Xerox Workflow Central platform is available for those who need more elaborate document management tools.

Environmentally, the B310 is among the best equipped in our office catalogue: EPEAT, ENERGY STAR, Blue Angel — Europe’s most demanding ecolabel — and Xerox’s Green World Alliance programme for recycling used cartridges. For a freelancer or SME bidding on public tenders with environmental criteria, that is a case already made.

Compared with the Xerox B305, its multifunction neighbour, the trade-off is not the one you would expect. The B310 prints slightly faster (40 ppm versus 38), but its recommended volume is a third lower: 6,000 pages per month versus 8,000. And above all, it does not scan. The real question is therefore not speed — the gap is negligible — but this one: do you need to copy and scan? If so, the B305, for a barely higher budget. If not, the B310, simpler and more compact. Note too: its colour twin, the C310, shares exactly the same volumes and the same certifications, but prints in colour at 33 ppm — if colour is useful to you, that is the one to look at.

At D&O Partners, the Xerox B310 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. Request a quote or come and see it in our Brussels showroom.

FAQ:

What is the difference between the Xerox B310 and the Xerox B305?
The B310 only prints; the B305 adds copying and scanning. On performance, the B310 is slightly faster (40 ppm versus 38), but its recommended volume is a third lower (6,000 pages per month versus 8,000). The real question is therefore the scanner, not the speed.

Can the Xerox B310 scan or copy?
No. It is a printer: its standard function is printing. To scan and copy, you should look at the B305 or B315, its multifunction neighbours.

What volume is the Xerox B310 designed for?
A recommended volume of 6,000 pages per month, with a maximum cycle of 80,000 images. That is the calibre of a small business or home office. Beyond that, our certified technicians will steer you towards a more durable model.

Is the Xerox B310 an eco-responsible choice?
Yes, and it is among the best certified in our office range: EPEAT, ENERGY STAR, Blue Angel (Europe’s most demanding ecolabel) and Xerox’s Green World Alliance programme for recycling used cartridges, which D&O Partners manages with you.
