Xerox C305ae – Advanced Colour Multifunction for Business

The Xerox C305ae is designed for businesses that need more than basic print, scan and copy functionality.

30ppm A4 Colour & Black Printing

The Xerox C305ae prints A4 documents at up to 30 pages per minute in both colour and black & white, providing strong everyday performance for professional workgroups.

Some international specifications describe the C305ae as a 32ppm printer. That figure relates to US Letter-size paper; the corresponding A4 speed applicable to Australia and New Zealand is 30ppm.

First-page output is as fast as approximately 8.3 seconds for black and 8.6 seconds for colour, helping reduce waiting time for shorter business print jobs.

Automatic Duplex Printing

Automatic two-sided printing is integrated as standard, allowing businesses to produce professional double-sided reports, presentations, contracts and other documents without manually turning pages over.

A4 duplex print speed is up to approximately 15 sides per minute in both colour and black & white.

DADF – Automatic Double-Sided Scanning

One of the most important advantages of the Xerox C305ae is its Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF).

Unlike multifunction printers equipped with a simplex ADF, the C305ae can automatically capture both sides of double-sided source documents without requiring the user to manually turn each page over.

This can provide a substantial productivity improvement for offices regularly digitising contracts, invoices, applications, customer records, reports and other multi-page double-sided documents.

Fast Business Document Scanning

Optical scan resolution is up to 600 × 600 dpi.

50-Sheet Automatic Document Feeder

The C305ae includes a 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder, allowing users to load multi-page documents for unattended scanning or copying.

Combined with automatic duplex scanning, this makes the C305ae particularly suitable for document-intensive professional environments.

Advanced Scan Destinations

Documents can be scanned directly to multiple destinations, including:

• Email
• USB flash drive
• Network-connected computer
• USB-connected computer
• FTP
• Compatible document workflow solutions

Supported scan formats include PDF, Secure PDF, TIFF, JPEG and JPG.

4.3-Inch Colour Touchscreen

The Xerox C305ae features a large 4.3-inch colour touchscreen, providing intuitive access to print, copy, scan, fax and workflow functions.

The larger touchscreen is particularly useful when selecting scan destinations, configuring workflows and accessing more advanced device functions.

Built-In Analogue Fax

The Xerox C305ae includes a built-in 33.6Kbps analogue fax modem, providing traditional fax functionality for businesses and professional organisations that still require it.

Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet & USB Connectivity

The C305ae provides comprehensive connectivity for modern business environments:

• Wireless Networking
• 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet
• Hi-Speed USB 2.0
• Front USB Host
• Apple AirPrint
• Wi-Fi Direct
• Mobile Printing Support

This allows the C305ae to operate as a permanent shared network printer while also supporting convenient wireless and mobile printing.

Extra High Yield Toner – Up to 6.4K Pages

The Xerox C305ae supports Xerox Extra High Yield toner cartridges designed for regular business printing and reduced cartridge replacement frequency.

For businesses with regular colour printing requirements, the higher-capacity cartridges can reduce toner changes and provide a more practical running-cost structure than relying on smaller-capacity cartridges.

For maximum convenience, choose the Xerox 006R05091–006R05094 Extra High Yield CMYK Toner Set.

Individual Genuine Xerox Extra High Yield Toners

Individual Extra High Yield cartridges are also available, including the Xerox 006R05092 Extra High Yield Cyan Toner and Xerox 006R05094 Extra High Yield Yellow Toner.

Declared toner yields are based on the applicable ISO testing methodology. Actual cartridge life varies according to page coverage, colour usage, document content, print settings and operating conditions.

Starter Toner Included

The Xerox C305ae is supplied with generous initial toner cartridges:

• Black Initial Toner: up to approximately 2,000 pages
• Cyan Initial Toner: up to approximately 1,200 pages
• Magenta Initial Toner: up to approximately 1,200 pages
• Yellow Initial Toner: up to approximately 1,200 pages

Expandable Paper Capacity – Up to 751 Sheets

Another important business advantage of the Xerox C305ae is its expandable paper handling.

The printer starts with a 250-sheet standard tray plus manual feed. Its architecture supports up to four paper inputs in total, allowing maximum paper input capacity to reach approximately 751 sheets.

This scalability is particularly useful for growing businesses and for offices that want to keep different paper types, letterhead or forms loaded simultaneously.

2GB Memory & 1.2GHz Processor

The Xerox C305ae is equipped with 2GB RAM and a 1.2GHz processor, providing additional processing capability for complex colour documents, scanning workflows and multiple-user business environments.

Business Security & Workflow Capability

The C305ae includes business-focused security and workflow capabilities designed to help organisations manage documents and device access more effectively.

This makes it particularly suitable for professional environments where document capture, distribution and security are as important as printing.

Recommended Business Workload

The Xerox C305ae has a recommended monthly print volume of approximately 750–5,000 pages, making it suitable for professional small workgroups with regular colour and monochrome printing requirements.

Its maximum monthly duty cycle is up to approximately 75,000 pages. For normal printer selection, businesses should use the recommended monthly volume rather than the maximum duty-cycle figure.
