Feature-packed printing
at an unbeatable price
Think you can’t afford a high performance
color printer? Think again. These printers
come with more features for less.
• Want speed? You’ve got it. The
Phaser 8550 printer is so fast you
can expect up to 30 ppm in full color!
Your first page out is as fast as 5
seconds. Or choose the Phaser 8500
printer for up to 24 ppm in color.
• The Intelligent Ready feature learns your
printing habits and warms up the system
when you’re most likely to use it.
• Features that are optional on competi-
tors’ products come standard. Namely,
true Adobe®Postscript®3™, networking,
and job accounting. On the Phaser
8550 you get advanced paper handling
features such as automatic two-sided
printing, collation and booklet printing.
The standard internal hard drive on the
8550DX adds save/secure/proof print
and extended font storage.
Additional functionality at a great price
Three-in-one value. Advanced printing, copying
and scanning seamlessly integrated into one device.
• Built fast to increase your productivity. Full-page
color at up to 24 ppm and as fast as 6 seconds
until the first print out.
• Walkup copying is a breeze and the
range of copy features is standout.
• Multi-tasking enables you to take
on two jobs at once – so if you’re
printing, you can still copy or scan.
• You don’t pay extra for time-saving
features such as automatic two-
sided printing, collation, booklet
making, save/secure/proof print
and extended font storage. These
features come standard.

Scanning transforms
the way you work
Use the power of scanning to efficiently
organize, edit and distribute information.
Scan documents straight to your PC, to
a public folder, or to password protected
mailboxes. It’s as simple as making
a copy.
The C2424DX configuration adds more scanning tools. Convert
paper documents into editable and searchable digital documents,
view and organize scans on a thumbnail based Visual Desktop,
and more.

Superior design
and ease of use
Both the Phaser 8500/8550 and
WorkCentre C2424 devices are built
with large paper trays so you can get
big jobs done without interruption.
Use 100-sheet Tray 1 for heavy
paper up to 80 lb. cover (220 gsm),
business cards, envelopes, trans-
parencies and more.
Standard 525-sheet Tray 2 feeds
up to 32 lb. bond (120 gsm).
Add one or two 525-sheet high-
capacity paper feeders to boost
your capacity to as much as
1,675 sheets.
Automatic 2-sided printing
saves time and money.

Elegantly simple design
Sometimes it’s the little things – like replenishing
supplies – that slow you down. Not with the
Phaser 8500 / 8550 printers and WorkCentre C2424
multifunction. They are designed to make office
life more efficient.
• Installation and network configuration is easy –
just four clicks and you’re done.
• Run out of color ink? No problem.
You can continue to print in black-only
mode if you prefer.
(8500 / 8550 only)
•Compact, no mess, solid ink sticks can
be dropped into their slots anytime.
• A built-in Web Server lets you manage,
configure and monitor these networked
devices from anywhere.
• Built smart. Automatic job monitoring tracks
your print job’s progress, and an internet
support system enables you to get help
quickly should you ever need it. Plus, the
Support Centre utility provides quick access
to user documentation, tools and utilities.
• You can keep a personal mailbox on the internal hard
drive
(8550DX / C2424) . So if you’re late for a meeting
and need an extra copy of something you’ve printed –
just walk up to the device, select the stored job and print.
• Keep tabs on office activity. The Usage Analysis Tool
enables you to collect, organize and analyze job
accounting data.
Keep it simple. Solid ink
has one-third of the parts of
lasers. That makes it more
reliable and easy to use.
