If you’ve decided to purchase a Xerox multifunction printer but you aren’t familiar with Xerox’s lineup, you’re probably wondering where to start—and which printer is best for your workplace. In today’s post, we’re going to take a closer look at the AltaLink series and VersaLink series as these are two of the most popular lineups from Xerox.
(It’s worth noting that the WorkCentre series is also a very popular choice for many local businesses, but we’ll be discussing the particulars of that series in a different post.)
Before we dig into the post, just a quick reminder that our team of experts at Smart Document Solutions are standing by to answer any and all of your questions. We can tell you about anything Xerox-related and help point you in the right direction. We’d genuinely like to get to know you and your company’s unique goals, because we believe that since no two businesses are the same, there isn’t a “one size fits all” document management strategy.
The Benefits of a Xerox VersaLink Multifunction Printer
While the VersaLink series has a number of printer-only entries, we’ll be discussing the multifunction versions of this series. With that in mind, it’s worth noting that the Xerox VersaLink has been hailed as the “perfect” multifunction printer for small to midsize businesses and startups who need an easy solution to print, copy, scan, and fax. This is because of its ease of use, ease-of-setup, and simple extensibility that rarely requires intervention from an IT professional.
A multifunction VersaLink does everything you might need it to do for your document management needs—but what separates it (and all modern Xerox office equipment) from the competition is that it meets these needs your way. Thanks to ConnectKey technology, this MFP can be customized and extended through a variety of apps available through the Xerox app gallery.
For businesses who want a simple, reliable way to digitize, archive, and share their documents, the VersaLink series makes integration with popular cloud storage platforms like DocuShare Flex, Google Drive, Dropbox, and others an easy task.

Taking a Closer Look at the Xerox AltaLink Series
The Xerox AltaLink series is, at its core, quite similar to the VersaLink series—except it is in many ways a “scaled up” version of the VersaLink MFP, capable of handling the demands of a larger workplace environment, from midsize businesses with 20 or more employees or as part of a whole fleet of printers for an enterprise-tier organization. This MFP can do everything discussed above with regard to the VersaLink series, except on a bit grander scale.
The AltaLink series is slanted toward performance in these larger organizations, with robust productivity services, apps, security features, and connectivity. Collaboration between users, even if those users are out of the office, is a simple task and the printer is easily paired with NFC capable devices.
A Little Help Making a Smart Decision: Which MFP Should You Choose?
Which multifunction printer you choose ultimately comes down to your specific needs.
