Copier / MFP family

Will the Xerox AltaLink B8100 series work?

Yes. Going by Xerox's own pages, it can capture today with eSCL (AirScan), a network connection, scan to email, scan to cloud and a TWAIN driver.

Xerox's black-and-white A3 copier family (B8145, B8155, B8170); the B8155 is an example model.

Easiest path to one place

Scan over your network, no driver

This model speaks eSCL (AirScan), so a computer, phone or service on the same network can pull pages straight from it. Nothing to install on each desk.

How it can capture

  • eSCL / AirScan

    Yes

    Driverless network scanning. Apple calls it AirScan, part of AirPrint, and Mopria Scan uses it too. Nothing to install on the computer.

    Yes. Supports mobile scanning with Mopria Scan and Apple AirPrint.[1]

  • TWAIN Direct

    Check with us

    The newer, driverless TWAIN. Apps reach the scanner over the network with nothing to install.

  • Network or Wi-Fi

    Yes

    Connects to your network on its own, so it does not have to stay plugged into one computer.

    Yes. Network cable is standard. Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct need the optional Xerox Dual Band Wireless Kit.[1]

  • Scan to email

    Yes

    Press a button on the device and the pages arrive in an inbox.

    Yes. Scan to email is built in.[1]

  • Scan to cloud

    Yes

    The device, or the maker's own software or service, sends pages to cloud storage.

    Yes, but only with the optional Scan To Cloud Enablement Kit, for Dropbox, OneDrive and Google Drive.[1]

  • TWAIN driver (classic)

    Yes

    The long-standing way to scan. A driver installed on a computer lets scanning apps run the scanner, usually over a USB cable.

    Yes. Scanning programs on a computer can scan from it over the network, and can start the scan from the computer.[1]

Works with: Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2012-2022, macOS 10.13-12, Linux (Red Hat, Ubuntu, SuSE); Mopria Scan (Android), AirPrint (Apple), Xerox Workplace Mobile App optional
