Xerox VersaLink B600/DN: 700 sheets for a wired monochrome print team review

A print-only workgroup machine with a useful included paper supply

The Xerox VersaLink B600/DN fits a wired team producing black-and-white documents, particularly when 700 included input sheets and passcode release matter more than scanning. It supports automatic two-sided Letter, Legal and A4 output through a compatible computer driver. Ethernet and a direct USB computer connection are included.

Its deciding limitation is the absence of a scanner. The B605 appears beside it in Xerox literature, but that model's feeder, copying and fax functions do not belong to the B600. Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct also require an optional adapter. Choose a documented multifunction model when capturing originals is part of the same workstation routine.

This is an earlier-model reference: the manufacturer identifies the B600/B610 family as no longer sold as new. Confirm the exact North American electrical edition, condition and software compatibility before relying on a particular unit.

The LED engine prints monochrome pages

Xerox's original brochure identifies a Hi-Q LED print head. This is a toner-based LED printer, and its five-inch color touchscreen does not turn its output into color printing. The screen provides controls and job access.

The US detailed specification declares up to 58 one-sided Letter pages per minute, separately from 55.5 A4 and 48.5 Legal. Automatic duplex has its own table: 52.2 Letter, 49.3 A4 and 27 Legal pages per minute. The family guide gives a different Letter duplex figure, so these quoted duplex numbers follow the exact US specification. They are manufacturer declarations rather than measured results.

For workload planning, the useful reference is recommended average monthly output up to 25,000 pages. The much larger 300,000-page duty declaration describes a different maximum and is not a recommendation to sustain that volume.

Keep the 700-sheet base separate from added drawers

The main tray holds 550 ordinary sheets and the bypass 150, totaling 700 at the specified 20 lb, 75 gsm basis. Both included paths accept Letter, Legal and A4. A separate 550-sheet drawer or high-capacity feeder changes the equipped machine and its footprint.

The optional 2,000-sheet feeder takes Letter or A4. It is not extra Legal capacity. Finishing, output mailboxes, the cabinet and additional storage are also separate options; a tall promotional configuration is not the base package.

For Legal in the main tray, extend the tray using its adjustment latch, set the guides and leave space in front. Confirm the actual size and type on the printer and in the driver. A closed-body depth measurement does not include this extended working arrangement.

Automatic duplex explicitly supports Letter, Legal and A4. Plain-paper duplex uses 60–90 gsm; selected other supported types extend to 176 gsm. A heavier sheet accepted for one-sided printing does not automatically qualify for the duplex path.

Use Secure Print for passcode release

In a compatible Xerox computer driver, open the printing properties, select Secure Print as the job type, enter a passcode and confirm it. Check the paper settings and send. At the printer, open Jobs, then Personal & Secure Jobs, choose your folder, enter the code and select the document to print. The guide says the secure job is deleted automatically after printing.

Personal Print serves a different purpose. It uses no passcode, and the guide allows any user to print or delete its jobs. A user-named folder therefore does not establish confidential release.

The original specification includes Secure Print. Its optional-hard-drive condition applies to a separately marked disk-overwrite function, so do not confuse that storage option with the ordinary documented passcode workflow.

Wired networking can still serve mobile devices

AirPrint and Mopria are documented for supported mobile devices using the appropriate shared network. The printer can use Ethernet while a phone uses the office network's Wi-Fi. This arrangement does not install a wireless radio in the printer.

AirPrint depends on enabled IPP and Bonjour services and suitable network discovery. Mopria needs a compatible print service and reachable printer. An administrator may need to address discovery across network boundaries. The available controls depend on the mobile application; do not assume it reproduces every computer-driver duplex, envelope or Secure Print setting.

Plan envelopes, consumables and installation access

Envelopes print one side. For No.10 envelopes in the bypass, follow the original short-edge-first loading diagram with flaps down and to the right. Select the matching Envelope size/type and driver orientation. The bypass envelope limit is a stack-height instruction, with an approximate count varying by stock, rather than its 150-sheet ordinary-paper rating.

The US specification declares a supplied 10,300-page black cartridge. Replacement cartridges have separate standard, high and extra-high yields under ISO/IEC 19752; the drum's approximate maintenance life uses different conditions. Regional cartridge numbers can differ, so verify the exact US supply list.

The US unpackaged base table gives 16.8 by 18.3 by 17.5 inches and 49.2 lb. Allow additional room for the extended Legal tray, open bypass, service covers, cables and ventilation, plus any separately installed accessory.
