EVALUATE PRODUCTIVITY
To handle departmental levels of activity a printer has to be fast, not just in print engine
specs but in real world use. Consider first-page-out-time, engine speed including high-
resolution printing speed and duplex printing speed to get a true picture of real-world
throughput capabilities.
Consider the power behind the speed. Is the processor fast enough to RIP jobs quickly and
get them to the print engine without delay? Is the memory sufficient for departmental
workloads? Is it able to handle long printing queues while maintaining performance?
Consider capacities. Are the paper input and output capabilities sufficient for the depart-
mental demands of many multiple users? Are there finishing options to provide distribu-
tion-ready documents without slowing down the entire process?
HOW THE PHASER 5500 EXCEEDS THE PRODUCTIVITY REQUIREMENT
Speed.
At 50 pages-per-minute (ppm), the Phaser 5500 will match the speed of the major competi-
tors but will exceed those products in total printing performance. The ability to maintain
100% throughput when printing in Duplex mode is a significant plus in this environment.
With a first Page Out Time (FPOT) as fast as 7 seconds, the Phaser 5500 gets your print job
going fast.
Power.
The Phaser 5500 provides a standard memory of 128MB even on the base model, which is at
least double what the competition currently offers. That plus superb controller performance
with a 500 MHz RISC processor, allows the Phaser 5500 to print true 1200 x 1200 dpi jobs at
full engine speed. This is something that no competitor can do. The large memory also sup-
ports RAM collation for multi-set jobs, without a hard drive.
Capacity.
The Phaser 5500 has production level paper handling that offers end-users superior flexibility
for complex applications. The basic configuration comes with three paper sources: two
Universal Trays (variable sizes up to 11 x 17") handling up to 500 sheets each, and one
Bypass tray with a capacity of up to 100 sheets (or 10 envelopes). You can add a 1000-sheet
feeder with two additional 500-sheet Universal Trays, and a separate 2000-sheet feeder that
handles letter/A4 paper for a total of 4100-sheets of fast, high-volume printing. (The 1000-
sheet feeder is required before the 2000-sheet feeder can be added.)
The Phaser 5500 comes standard with a 500-sheet facedown output tray. For high volume
stacking requirements, you have two options: A 3500-sheet Stacker or a 3500-sheet Finisher,
which adds stapling and hole punching capabilities.
