Xerox C55 Printer Review

More than just a basic laser copier, the Xerox WorkCentre C55 can also print, scan, and fax. It is the fastest in its lineup, with speeds of up to 55 pages per minute, but Xerox C55 printer toner shares compatibility with multiple models for lower prices across the board. If its robust feature set isn't enough, buyers can also augment with upgrade options.

Unlike other models in its lineup, the C55 comes with a 75-sheet duplexing automatic document feeder as a standard feature, rather than an upgrade. This is especially handy for digital workflows, and users can send scanned documents via email to conserve paper and WorkCentre C55 toner supplies at the same time. As an alternative to faxing, emailing scans also results in sharper quality for those important documents.

The C55 lacks a full-color screen, but walk-up operation is still very intuitive. Users can access copy features such as zooming from 25 to 400% or make up to 9,999 copies of an original. Since both the scanner and the printing unit support automatic duplexing, users have a lot of flexibility in how they handle two-sided documents. The standard input paper capacity is 1,200 sheets, but it can be upgraded to a maximum of 4.800 sheets for heavy-duty office use.

The relatively large yield of Xerox C55 toner cartridges ensures that users won't have to replace toners on a frequent basis. A two-pack of WorkCentre C55 toner cartridges will provide around 64,000 pages, which will keep the cost per page down. As mentioned, the design of Xerox C55 toner supplies is universal to the entire model lineup as well.

Though it lacks features like mobile printing that modern users may crave, the C55 packs just the right mix of features for the price. This makes it a solid choice for a medium-sized office and a good value.
