Xerox C310/DNI Review: 35-ppm Color Powerhouse for Smaller Teams

Looking for a compact color printer that can keep up with a small team? The Xerox C310/DNI delivers fast, professional color output with automatic two-sided printing, built-in Wi-Fi, and straightforward setup in a desk-friendly design. In this post, we’ll cover the key specs, standout features, real-world pros and cons, and practical tips to control cost per page—so you can decide if the C310/DNI fits your home office or small workgroup. You can also purchase the printer and supplies from Item, Inc., with support to help you get up and running quickly.

The C310/DNI engine outputs up to 35 ppm (Letter) and wakes fast—first colour page in ≈ 7.2 s (6.7 s mono)—so long print queues clear quickly.

Each printer ships with a 250-sheet main tray plus a single-sheet bypass slot; add the optional 550-sheet tray to scale to 901 sheets of input for multi-day, unattended runs.

What makes the DNI SKU special is convenience: it bundles automatic duplex, Gigabit Ethernet, and built-in 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi Direct with native AirPrint, Mopria, and Chromebook support—while models lacking the “i” rely on wired networking only.

Inside, a 1 GHz dual-core CPU, 1 GB RAM, and a rugged duty cycle up to 80 000 pages/month (Xerox recommends ≤ 6 000 ppm for best longevity) keep workloads flowing. The printer is also ENERGY STAR® / EPEAT® qualified to curb power use.

Model Suffix Definitions:

• n = network-ready Gigabit Ethernet
• d = built-in duplex (automatic two-sided printing)
• i = integrated wireless (Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi Direct)

Keep your printer running at peak performance with:

• Fuser Unit: The fuser unit (Part Numbers: 126N00456) bonds toner to paper using heat and pressure for lasting prints.
• Transfer Belt Unit: The ITB (Part Numbers: 133N23275) carries and registers the CMYK images from the drums, then transfers the combined image onto the paper just before fusing
• Waste Toner Container: The Waste Container (Part Numbers: 008R13325) collects excess toner removed during cleaning and calibration to keep the printer interior clean and prevent marks on pages.

We carry all these parts at Item, Inc. with fast shipping options.

Q: Does the printer come with the cartridges or are they extra?
The Xerox C310/DNI provide pre-installed starter cartridges (CMY ~1,000 pages each; Black ~1,500 pages).

Q: Will this printer print on card stock?
The Xerox C310/DNI supports card stock (up to 216 gsm single-sided; 105 gsm duplex).

Q: Will this printer allow for bluetooth or airprint printing without wi-fi?
The C310 supports Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi Direct (no Bluetooth), and AirPrint works over Wi-Fi or a wired network—not Bluetooth; you can use Wi-Fi Direct to print without a router.

Q: Does it scan and email?
The Xerox C310 is a single-function (print-only) printer, so it doesn’t scan or email; for scan-to-email, choose the Xerox C315 MFP (supports SMTP scan to email).

The Xerox C310/DNI color laser printer is an excellent choice for home offices and small workgroups that want fast, professional output—up to 35 ppm, 1200 × 1200 dpi, auto-duplex, and built-in Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi Direct with AirPrint and Mopria—without the size or cost of an MFP. Its compact design, high-capacity toner options, and optional 550-sheet tray help minimize downtime and lower total cost of ownership, making it ideal for everyday business documents, charts, and marketing pieces. If you need scanning, copying, or faxing, consider the Xerox C315 MFP; otherwise the Xerox C310 delivers reliable, high-quality color printing for small teams. Buy the Xerox C310/DNI and genuine or compatible toner from Item, Inc., where you’ll also find setup help and supplies to keep your printer running smoothly.
