Xerox 55 Printer Review

The Xerox WorkCentre Pro 55 multifunction laser printer was given the Editor's Choice award by Better Buys for Business, and for good reason. Not only does this printer and copier offer fast speeds of up to 55 pages per minute, with a first page out time of as little as 3.4 seconds, but optional features like network scanning and faxing make it even more functional for a busy office. The low cost of Xerox 55 printer toner also makes it a great value.

The design of the 55 is fairly standard, but includes some nice aesthetic touches. The control panel uses a touch of bright blue to attract attention, and subtle curves make it a bit more inviting than the typical office machine. Perched atop the device is a 75-page automatic document feeder that can handle duplex scanning, and a flatbed scanning platen for scanning individual material.

The 55 includes a USB port, but the ethernet port will likely see more use. Wireless support is available as an optional upgrade, and the unit's network integration is excellent. Secure print holds a document until the user is present at the machine, while the delay print feature can schedule printing for a later time, such as when the office is empty.

Xerox 55 toner cartridges have large capacities of up to 45,000 pages each, and toners are easy to replace from the front access panel. WorkCentre Pro 55 toner cartridges incorporate a design that makes them nearly impossible to insert incorrectly, and WorkCentre Pro 55 toner offers a cost per page that is one of the most affordable in its class.

The WorkCentre Pro 55 isn't the fastest device on the market, but its solid basic feature set and the ability to add more functionality give it flexibility not often found at such an affordable price point. Add in the savings on Xerox 55 toner, and you have an affordable solution to nearly all of an office's document needs.
