The Phaser 5500 printer combines a dual-pass, monochrome laser print engine with
an image processor supporting Adobe's PostScript 3 description language. The
PCL5e, PCL6 and Oak PCL 5.0 printer languages are also supported. Print speed is
50 pages per minute at either 600 x 600 or True 1200 x 1200 dpi in 1-sided or 2-sided
modes. The printer features a bi-directional parallel interface and a USB port. The
Phaser 5500 printer provides a 100-sheet Tray 1/MPT from which specialty media,
card stock, larger format paper, and envelopes are fed. Tray 1 also supports manual
feeding. Two additional trays, Tray 2 and 3, each provide 500 sheets of capacity. The
Standard Output Tray holds 500 sheets face down.
Phaser 5500 printer options add memory, paper capacity and functionality. For
models not originally equipped, an internal Hard Drive is available for font storage,
storing print files, job collation, proof print and secure print support. A selection of
RAM memory upgrades are available to raise the installed quantity to the 512 MB
maximum. A 1000-Sheet Feeder is available with two, 500-sheet universal media
trays (Trays 4 and 5). A 2000-Sheet Feeder (Tray 6) brings the maximum input
capacity to 4,100 sheets. An Envelope Tray, replacing Tray 2, holds up to 35
envelopes. On the output side, a 3,500-sheet, high-capacity stapler/punch/stacker is
available raising the output total to 4000 sheets. A Configuration Card adds 100baseT
Ethernet networking for host communication.
