unbeatable price
Think you can’t afford high performance
features? Think again. These printers come
with more features for less than you’d expect.
Now that’s good business sense.
• Want speed? You’ve got it. The Phaser 8550
printer is so fast you can expect up to 30 ppm
in full colour! Or choose the Phaser 8500 for
up to 24 ppm in colour.
• Industry leading speed. Around five seconds
until your first page out on the Phaser 8550,
and around six seconds on the 8500.
•
Features that are optional on competitors’
products come as standard with Xerox.
Namely, networking, true Adobe®Postscript®
3™, automated troubleshooting and job
accounting. Plus, on the Phaser 8550 you get

automatic two-sided printing,
collation and
booklet printing.
• Built with large paper trays so you can get
the big jobs done without interruption.

that makes an impact. Whether you’re
printing reports and presentations or
graphics and web pages, solid ink
colour is so lush and vibrant, it turns
heads.
• Solid ink provides superior print quality
on a wide range of media types and
weights – from recycled to cover stocks
to transparencies and more.
• Expect colour that’s truer, more
saturated and remarkably consistent –
from your first print to your last.
• 2400 FinePoint™image enhancement

Superior design
and ease of use
①Use 100-sheet Tray 1 for heavy
paper up to 220 gsm, business
cards, envelopes,
transparencies and more.
②Standard 525-sheet Tray 2
feeds up to 120 gsm.
③ ④Add one or two 525-sheet
high-capacity paper feeders to
boost your capacity to as much
as 1,675 sheets.
Sophisticated simplicity
Sometimes it’s the little things – like loading supplies –
that slow you down. Not with the Phaser 8500 / 8550
printers. Solid ink printers are designed to make office
life more efficient.
Easy for users
•Compact, no-mess ink sticks are as easy to load as a
stapler. You can drop them into their slots at any time.
•Run out of colour ink? No problem. You can continue
to print in black-only mode if you prefer.
•You can keep a personal mailbox on the printer’s hard
drive (optional on Phaser 8550 only). So if you’re late
for a meeting and need an extra copy of something
you’ve printed – just walk up to the printer, select the
stored job and hit “print”.
•These printers keep track of your printing habits.
The Intelligent Ready feature learns when you
print most and warms up or enters power-saving
mode accordingly.
•There’s no training required. An internet-based
automated support system provides help when
you need it. Plus, the Support Centre utility
provides quick access to all the user documentation,
tools and utilities that come with the printer.
Simple for administrators
•Installation made easy. It’s out of the box and
on your network in just four mouse clicks.
•Off-site? Xerox keeps you in the loop. A built-in
web server allows you to manage, configure and
troubleshoot printers from anywhere using a
web browser.
•Enjoy quick desktop access to printer and job
status, email alerts, simplified printer installation
and network administration.
•Keep tabs on office activity. The Usage Analysis
Tool enables you to collect, organise and analyse
job accounting data.
