Xerox 5855 Printer Review

The Xerox WorkCentre 5855 multifunction laser printer has a price tag that puts it out of reach of smaller offices, but its fast performance of 55 pages per minute will still make it appealing for those with the budget to handle it. It can copy, print, and scan, with email sharing as well, though prices for Xerox 5855 printer toner will also take a chunk out of the office budget.

With a monthly duty cycle of up to 200,000 pages, the 5855 is clearly built for high-volume use in enterprise-level offices. Despite the inclusion of four major functions, it is still very intuitive to use, however, with a full-color touchscreen control panel that uses large icons for easy access to important features. Users can also save certain workflows for quick access. Using the email feature is a great way to share documents without the need to use up paper and WorkCentre 5855 toner supplies.

When it comes to paper handling, users can easily get large volumes both in and out. A 200-sheet automatic document feeder makes for quick scanning of up to 200 images per minute. The main paper trays include two 500-sheet trays, a 1,600-sheet tray, and a 2,000 sheet tray, providing a lot of capacity and ensuring users won't need frequent reloads. Optional 2,000 and 4,000-sheet trays can expand it even further.

Of course, at high volumes, toners are a big expense, and Xerox 5855 toner cartridges are quite pricey. The cost per page is reasonable, since WorkCentre 5855 toner cartridges have a yield of 76,000 pages per package of two, but they still require a sizable budget.

With support for wireless networking and even mobile printing, as well as its fast speeds, the 5855 holds a lot of appeal for the large office. Still, given the expense of Xerox 5855 toner supplies, buyers might want to compare costs to find a more cost-effective way to meet their needs.
