Having trouble scanning or copying multiple documents on your Xerox VersaLink B605 or B615? Maybe the automatic document feeder keeps jamming, struggles to pick up pages, or feeds more than one sheet at a time. If you've ruled out a problem with the paper itself, your scanner maintenance kit may need attention.

The scanner maintenance kit’s two roller sets move paper through the ADF. You need to replace the kit when the rollers wear, or the printer indicates maintenance is needed, to help prevent feeding problems and restore reliable scanning.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we've serviced thousands of Xerox printers and handled roller-related maintenance issues thousands of times. With more than 40 years in the printer industry, we know how frustrating it can be when a simple scanning task interrupts your workday.

5 Best Printers for Large Businesses and Enterprises in 2026

Submitted by Byanka Ramos on

Large businesses have very different printing needs than your typical small office. A desktop printer might work well for a team of 10 but struggle when hundreds of employees rely on shared devices every day.

Enterprise printers need to handle higher print volumes, larger paper capacities, advanced scanning, secure document workflows, and often multiple departments or locations. Some organizations also need finishing capabilities, specialty media, or even light-production printing for marketing materials and in-house print work.

Over the more than 40 years we’ve been in the printer industry, we’ve worked with both small organizations and large enterprises. In this guide, we’ve gathered five of the best printers for large businesses and enterprises in 2026 and explain which environment each is best suited for.

Few things are more frustrating than a printer breaking down when you need it most. Knowing how to handle routine maintenance can save businesses and consumers time and money, and keep them from waiting on someone else’s schedule.

Replacing the maintenance kit on your Xerox printer may sound complicated, but it’s simpler than you think. The kit contains parts that transfer toner to paper and guide sheets through the printer. These components wear down over time, so replacing them as needed helps preserve print quality, smooth paper feeding, and reliable performance.

Xerox AltaLink C8230 vs. Ricoh IM C3010: Which Copier Fits Your Business?

Submitted by Keith Metzler on

If you compare two copiers that print at the same speed, you’ll find that they can still create very different experiences for your office. One might handle your scanning workload better, while the other includes a document tool you would otherwise pay extra to add.

The Xerox AltaLink C8230 and Ricoh IM C3010 are good examples of this. Both are color multifunction printers that print up to 30 pages per minute, but their scanning capabilities, included features, and management tools deserve a closer look.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we bring 40 years of experience helping businesses evaluate office printing needs. We are a Xerox Platinum Partner, so Xerox is our area of expertise. This comparison uses public manufacturer information to explain where each model may fit your business.

How to Choose a Printer for Your Budget and Business Needs

Submitted by Karla Metzler on

If your organization is searching for a printer, it’s tempting to go with the immediate cheap option. But a printer that looks affordable today gets expensive once you add toner, service, repairs, and the cost of replacing a machine that cannot keep up. On the other hand, buying more printer than your organization needs can leave you paying for speed and features that rarely get used.

Instead of choosing the cheapest printer, find the most cost-effective printer for the work your business actually does. STPT has helped organizations make that distinction for more than 40 years.

The short answer: Choose a business printer by matching its recommended monthly print volume and capabilities to your workload, then compare its total cost of ownership rather than its purchase price alone. Your volume, color needs, paper sizes, scanning requirements, security expectations and service plan should all influence the decision.

Is your Xerox VersaLink C505 having trouble feeding documents through the scanner? Maybe you're experiencing paper jams in the automatic document feeder (ADF), documents aren't feeding properly, or your printer is telling you it's time for scanner maintenance. These issues can make even simple scanning or copying tasks frustrating, especially when you're trying to get work done.

The scanner maintenance kit helps your printer feed pages through the automatic document feeder. Its rollers wear down over time, which can affect how well pages feed and separate. Replace worn rollers or the kit when your printer indicates maintenance is needed to keep documents feeding reliably.

Your printer shouldn’t be a source of stress in your life. Office equipment should be reliable and cause little to no interruptions to your work.

However, every now and then, your printer will need a bit of maintenance, such as when it tells you to replace a damaged or worn-out part.

In the case of the Xerox VersaLink C500 or C600 Series printers, these will tell you when it’s time to replace the waste toner container. And while it can sound intimidating, with the right guidance, replacing it isn’t too complicated.

The waste toner container collects toner that doesn’t reach the paper. It fills up over time and needs replacing when your printer says it’s full.

With the experience we’ve gathered from servicing thousands of Xerox printers, we’ve created a guide to show you how to properly replace the waste toner container on your Xerox machine.

A fuser is something you may not think about often when you’re printing. But when your printer tells you it’s time to replace it, what do you do?

Luckily, replacing this component on your Xerox VersaLink C500 or C600 Series printer is easy once you know where it's located and how to install the new one.

The fuser bonds toner to paper with heat and pressure. With constant use and high temperatures, it naturally wears out and requires replacement.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we strive to provide quality printing information so you know where to go to find answers to your print questions. With more than 40 years in the printer industry, we know how important it is to get your equipment back up and running.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to replace the fuser on a Xerox VersaLink C500, C505, C600, or C605. The replacement process is the same for all four models.

In-House Printing vs. Outsourcing for Schools: Which Is Right for Your District?

Submitted by Karla Metzler on

The start of a new school year has a way of turning “we need this printed soon” into “we need 1,500 copies by tomorrow.”

Schools often need to update enrollment packets, teachers need instructional materials, and administration has upcoming board meetings where they need to review the student handbook.

For schools that regularly outsource larger print jobs, situations like these can raise a reasonable question: Would it make more sense to bring some of our production printing in-house?

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas (STPT), we work with schools and other organizations that are weighing this exact decision. Neither option is automatically better. Outsourcing can be convenient and cost-effective for occasional work, while in-house production printing can provide more control when print volume, turnaround times, and outsourcing expenses begin to grow.
