What is the Xerox C240, C245 and C255a?

The Xerox® C240 Color Printer and Xerox® C245/C255a Color Multifunction Printers are A4 color devices designed for small and mid-sized teams. They combine the reliability Xerox is known for with added strength from the expanded Xerox and Lexmark portfolio, giving businesses more choices for high-quality, efficient office printing.

These devices were built to solve a specific problem: small businesses and growing teams need professional color output and secure document workflows, but often have less office space, smaller (or no) in-house IT staff, and tighter budgets than larger enterprises. The C240, C245 and C255a are compact enough for tight spaces, powerful enough for daily business demands, and simple enough to set up without an IT department.
