Setting up your home office can be a real joy. You have total control over the layout, the equipment, the decorations… everything!

But it can quickly become an exercise in frustration if you’re struggling to find the right printer—there are just so many choices.

We suggest considering a Xerox device for your home office. It’s a total misconception that Xerox multifunction printers are too expensive, too bulky, or too feature-rich to have a place in a simple home office. Take for example the lovely C230 color printer, which we covered in our article Xerox C230 and C235: Your Guide to the New Xerox C-Series Color Printers. The C230 (and the non-MFP variant, the C235) are affordable and compact-yet-powerful home office printer choices.

You could probably stop reading here, get yourself a C230, and be overjoyed with your decision—but in case you want a little more information, read on to learn more about how to choose a home office printer.

As mentioned above, Xerox multifunction printers are available in right-sized configurations, great for the potentially limited space of a home office. MFPs can print, copy, scan, and fax. So, a good starting point is asking yourself whether you need (or anticipate needing in the future) functionality beyond just printing; if so, the C230 is a great choice. If you strictly need just a printer, the C235 has you covered.

Other considerations are whether or not you need color documents, how fast you need the output of the documents to be (pages-per-minute), and your expected monthly output. You’ll probably find that the C230 is more than adequate, as these metrics are more critical when the printer is intended to be used in larger, busier offices—if you anticipate only a handful of people, or even just yourself, to use the printer in your home office, then pretty much any modern Xerox device will almost certainly have the speed and monthly document volume output you require.
