Section 2: Evaluating Black-and-White Laser Printers
Overview
A workgroup printer is a resource typically shared by up to 25 networked users on
a regular basis. Because it is common for a network to include multiple computer
platforms, such as any of the various versions of Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Unix,
or Linux, and because a network printer is relied upon by multiple users, it is recommended that the following criteria be used when evaluating which printer to purchase
for your office:
Deployment, Management
and Ease of Use
Is the printer simple for your IT staff to deploy
and manage, and will it be easy for your
employees to use?
Productivity
Can the printer keep up with the demands of
your daily and monthly print volumes?
Reliability
Is the printer robust enough to handle your
workload, and is it backed by quality service?
This section examines each of the above evaluation criteria in greater detail, covering the specific
features and performance attributes you should
look for in a high-volume black-and-white laser
printer. When the same criteria are used to
evaluate every device under consideration, you’ll
see how the Phaser
against other manufacturers’ products.

Section 2: Evaluating Black-and-White Laser Printers
Evaluate Deployment, Management and Ease of Use
Deploying printers can be challenging, whether in a large organization or
small office. The process includes integrating the printers into your existing network
infrastructure and deploying print drivers to users’ computers. Evaluate whether the
driver deployment process can be automated. Also, evaluate the management tools
delivered with the printer, and whether they will ease the task of managing the device.
Lastly, think about ease of use. Is the device simple to operate, and will users quickly
feel comfortable using it? Are the user interfaces, both the front panel and print driver,
well designed and easy to navigate?
How the Phaser® 5550 laser
printer exceeds the deployment
requirement
Installation
Easy installation starts with unpacking the
device and ends when it’s powered up and
ready for use. The Phaser 5550 laser printer
is easily removed from its packaging, and the
included quick install guide helps install optional
accessories, connect the printer to your network
and a power source, and power-up the device.
The printer will automatically be assigned an IP
address and join the network via DHCP (other
networking protocols can be set at the front
panel), and device settings such as language
selection and feature setup are completed
either at the front panel or via remote management software like Xerox CentreWare
Services (CentreWare IS) or CentreWare Web.
Driver deployment
Installing print drivers onto users’ computers is
a simple process. Simply insert the Phaser 5550
installation CD and follow the prompts. Or,
users can enter the printer’s IP address into any
standard web browser and download and install
print drivers using the Phaser 5550 CentreWare
IS page. Lastly, for large, distributed environments, Xerox print drivers can be automatically
installed by IT staff using remote desktop-management software.
®
Internet
How the Phaser 5550 laser
printer exceeds the management

through compatibility with network manage-
ment tools for Sun, Novell, Microsoft and other
environments.
The Phaser 5550 laser printer also includes
CentreWare IS, an embedded web server that
allows users and IT personnel to perform
detailed status checks on the system and
consumables, administer system settings, and
manage access and accounting controls via any
standard web browser.
Network management
The Phaser 5550 laser printer integrates into
virtually any network environment. Network
configuration is simple with CentreWare Web
configuration wizards, which enable remote
configuration of one or many devices, regardless of manufacturer. The Phaser 5550 laser
printer supports many common network
protocols (including TCP/IP [IPv4, IPv6, DNS/

Xerox office services
Lastly, Xerox offers a host of productivityenhancement services for managing an office’s
document output and asset infrastructure. Such
services deliver measurable business results by
leveraging a powerful set of office technologies, business processes, methodologies and
software tools to reduce costs and improve
productivity. These offerings are summarized in
Section 3 of this guide.
How the Phaser® 5550 laser
printer exceeds the ease-of-use
requirement
Front panel interface
The Phaser 5550 laser printer features a large,
high-contrast, front-panel display that is simple,
well-organized and backlit for comfortable viewing. The front panel offers menu-based navigation features and information, with options such
as walk-up features, paper tray setup, printer
setup, troubleshooting and shutdown.
The front panel is also a valuable resource for
help topics. Pressing the “?” button activates a
contextual help message that explains whatever
menu function or message is currently displayed.
Further, if the Phaser 5550 laser printer requires
attention, the front panel will display easy-tofollow instructions regarding what steps should
be taken to get the printer back up and printing.
Bi-directional print drivers
Bi-directional print drivers allow for easy
job programming right at the user’s
desktop.
The Phaser 5550 laser printer includes print
drivers for Adobe
®
PostScript® 3™ and PCL®
6/5e emulations. Organized by tabs, the print
drivers make job programming easy and intuitive. The most commonly used features are
located on the default tab, with advanced features easily accessible when programming more
complex jobs. The print drivers also provide
bidirectional information such as system status,
consumable status, job status, currently loaded
paper sizes, installed options and more.
Replacing consumables
Commonly replaced consumables, such as the
toner cartridge and maintenance kit, are easily
accessed via the front of the Phaser 5550 laser
printer — no need to pull the printer out of
its location, or turn it around, when periodic
replacement of consumables is required.
