Xerox Phaser 5500DN

Xerox Phaser 5500DN

REVIEW

By M. David Stone

Think of the Xerox Phaser 5500DN ($3,400 street) as Xerox's answer to the HP LaserJet 9050dn. Both are designed as departmental printers, with 50-pages-per-minute (ppm) engines and a 300,000-pages-per-month duty cycle. And the Xerox entry offers similar paper handling, with a built-in duplexer, the ability to print on up to tabloid-size paper, and a default 1,100-sheet capacity. The main differences between them are that the 5500DN is faster, offers slightly better quality, costs about $400 less, and is our new Editors' Choice—replacing the 9050dn.

Bottom Line

The Xerox Phaser 5500DN offers high speed, high quality, and heavy-duty paper handing, with a 50-page-per-minute (ppm) engine, a 300,000-page-per-month duty cycle, a duplexer, and printing on up to tabloid-size paper. Paper-handling options can boost capacity from the default 1,100 sheets up to 4,100.

Pros

Blazingly fast. Offers among the best output quality for any monochrome laser. Paper-handling capacity and options suitable for departmental printing.

Cons

Heavy-duty paper handling in base unit translates to a heavy printer, at 90 pounds. Paper-handling options turn it into a floor-standing unit.
