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.
