Our verdict: The Xerox B315 ranks 10th of the 10 laser printers we compare, with 7.9 out of 10.
Xerox B315
7.9/10
The Xerox B315 is a mono laser all-in-one that prints, copies, scans and faxes at up to 40 pages a minute. It suits a small office that prints in volume and has a sturdy surface to put it on.
Built for office workloads rather than occasional use
Keep in mind
Heavy at over 12kg, so it needs a sturdy surface
Costs notably more than a print-only mono laser
Mono only, so no colour copies or scans

About the Xerox B315
The B315 is an A4 mono laser multifunction printer from Xerox. It prints at up to 40 pages a minute and does two-sided printing automatically as standard. The scanner has a single-pass document feeder, so it scans both sides of a page in one go, plus a flatbed glass. Copying and scanning are standard, and Xerox's US shop page lists fax as well, at up to 33,600 bps.
Paper goes in through two trays that hold 350 sheets in total, and the output tray takes 100. The shop page gives a maximum of 900 sheets with optional trays, and the document feeder holds up to 50 pages. Print and copy resolution is up to 600 x 600 dpi, and the printer has 512MB of memory.
Connections are Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Ethernet, and USB for a computer or a thumb drive. Wi-Fi Direct, Apple AirPrint and Mopria cover printing from phones and tablets. Xerox rates it for up to 8,000 pages a month, with a maximum duty cycle of up to 80,000 images a month that it says is not meant to be sustained regularly.
What owners report about the Xerox B315
Owner feedback for this exact model is thin, and what we found comes from reviews on Xerox's Canadian site rather than UK retailers. Owners there like the print quality and speed, and call it quiet and compact. One who moved up from an older Xerox model found it easier to maintain and said it scans both sides in a single pass, though the paper moves a little slower.
The most common complaint is paper handling. The tray is small, and a bigger one costs extra. One owner could not work out how to make the printer choose the right paper source for a job. Another had jams on two-sided printing and could not find help in a manual.
Durability reports are mixed but lean positive. Two owners say their units have run for around two years. Others report faults at about the one-year mark: a touchscreen that stopped responding, and an imaging unit that needed replacing earlier than expected.
Who the Xerox B315 suits
The B315 suits a small office or busy home office that wants one mono machine for printing, copying, scanning and faxing, and prints enough that 40 pages a minute and a feeder matter. Wi-Fi and Ethernet both work, so it can sit on a shared network. It weighs about 12.8kg, so give it a solid desk or stand.
Look elsewhere if you only print and don't scan or copy: the Brother HL-L2865DW is a smaller print-only option. If you need colour copies or scans, the Canon i-SENSYS MF752Cdw II is a colour all-in-one. For a lighter mono all-in-one with a feeder, the HP LaserJet MFP M234sdw is more compact.

Other laser printer picks
The other badge winners in our laser printers ranking.
Every score here comes from our ranking model; no editor sets the order. We haven't read the review sites for this guide yet, so for now it is led by owners. It ranks products by how happy owners are, holding back any product few owners have rated until more agree. How many rated it and how new it is only settle close calls, and value for money earns its own badge rather than a higher place. We compared 22 models for this guide before settling on these ten.
Brands can't pay to be included or to move up. We last checked these picks in November 2026.
