Canon uses the latest in their printing and document processing technology to make the IR-5055 ImageRUNNER ADVANCE office black and white printer as user-friendly and speedy as possible. The size, features, and paper capacity make the Canon IR-5055 printer a suitable choice for large offices, but it is expensive and requires a network printer kit for network printing capabilities.
Design
The understated design makes the Canon ImageRUNNER 5055 perfect for most professional environments, while the versatile build allows for the incorporation of additional features and accessories to make the device more useful for growing workgroups. The base unit runs on 1GB of memory and a 533MHz / 400MHz processor, and has a 40GB hard disk drive. The main interfaces are USB and Ethernet. The device weighs 220Kg and measures 1207mm tall, 743mm deep, and 643mm wide. The control panel is simplified with a large colour display and minimal controls.
Advantages
This is a multifunctional device with fast print speeds of up to 55ppm. It offers quick duplex scanning, enhanced security, and easy management configuration. The Canon IR5055 mono laser printer is environment-friendly and network-ready. It can also integrate a fax board to make it an all-in-one communications tool for an entire department. The Canon IR-5055 copier is also praised for simplified operation and versatile media handling capacity. The long-lasting Canon IR5055 laser toner has an estimated yield of 48,000 pages.
Disadvantages
The Canon ImageRUNNER IR-5055 does not have built-in finishing options, so users need to buy them separately. The high initial price of the Canon IR5055 ImageRUNNER ADVANCE laser printer could turn off those with a limited budget. Network printing requires purchasing an additional printer kit. The universal send kit and paper deck are also optional for the IR5055.
