Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Xerox C8255H2 is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a busy office of 25–40 people and print 30,000–60,000 pages a month, needing a reliable color printer with a 300k‑image duty cycle.
  • You require duplex printing and scanning up to 161 ipm for rapid document handling.
  • You need a 12×19‑inch (legal) media capability for larger reports and contracts.
  • You want mobile printing via AirPrint or Mopria so users can print from iOS/Android devices.
  • You need integrated fax and an RFID card reader for secure document delivery.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 20,000–30,000 pages a month; the machine will perform fine, though larger paper trays shorten time between reloading.
  • You need color printing sparingly; a mono‑only MFP would be cheaper, but the C8255’s quality is solid for occasional color use.
  • You want on‑premise security and limited network load; the optional fax and RFID reduce heavy traffic.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 2,000 pages a month—toner sets are expensive and the duty cycle is overkill.
  • You mainly need monochrome documents; a mono‑only MFP would give you more pages per dollar.
  • You require finishing functions such as stapling or booklet making; this chassis lacks built‑in finishing.
  • You have an existing paper supply of less than 3,000 sheets and don’t want high‑capacity trays.
  • You need frequent 11×17 tabloid printing; this model tops out at 12×19.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Xerox AltaLink C8255/H2 is a high‑speed color laser multifunction printer built for heavy‑duty office environments. It prints at up to 55 ppm—both color and black‑and‑white—while delivering fast duplex scanning and optional fax. The key sellers are its 300,000‑image monthly duty cycle and 12×19‑inch media capability. Worth knowing before you buy: the machine is designed for up to 300,000 images per month (recommended 22,000 pages), with single‑sided scans at 82 ipm and duplex at 161 ipm. It outputs up to 1200 × 2400 dpi, and high‑capacity paper trays can hold up to 6,140 sheets. Consumables run long, but the optional high‑capacity trays greatly boost output. It also offers Apple AirPrint, Mopria, and Xerox Workflow Central for mobile printing, plus an optional integrated fax and RFID card reader. The 10.1‑inch tiltable touchscreen makes job control quick and the machine can handle legal and SRA3 sizes. Compatible driver suites support Windows, Mac, and Linux out of the box.
