Phaser 5550DT Printer Review
Expert review of the Phaser 5550DT printer
This Xerox Phaser 5550DT is part of the high-end Xerox Phaser range and has a price tag to match. However, all the functions and features make it a great investment for any business with printing requirements greater than ordinary. Print quality from this machine is always of a high standard.
Design
The Xerox 5550DT offers several different connectivity options and duplex printing is standard.
There is an optional 40GB hard drive and you can have up to six different paper trays - three as standard, three optional. Also optional is the finishing stacker tray, which can handle up to 3,000 sheets.
Advantages
The speed of the Xerox Phaser 5550DT is up to 50 pages per minute and duplex printing has a very similar print speed. The printer can handle a range of different paper sizes and paper quality, right up to A3. It can also sort, hole-punch and staple documents for you, saving you a great deal of time and effort.
The recommended monthly print volume is up to 50,000 pages, which is more than enough for the average business. The print cartridges for this unit are adequate for thousands of pages of printing.
Disadvantages
The large size of the Xerox 5550DT means moving it around on a regular basis is not going to be impractical. It is particularly heavy, and more than one person will be required to move it.
The high price tag might mean smaller businesses will find this printer out of reach.
