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/ WINS], SNMP, Novel IP, Ethertalk, IPP, SLP, TFTP, Port 9100, LPR, FTP and WSD) and integrates with network management applications via CentreWare plug-ins (for Unicenter® TNG®, Tivoli®, Netware® and HP® OpenView®). Xerox office services Lastly, Xerox offers a host of productivity-enhancement 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 menubased 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-to-follow instructions regarding what steps should be taken to get the printer back up and printing. Bi-directional print drivers 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. Bi-directional print drivers allow for easy job programming right at the user's desktop.  Xerox Phaser 5550 Evaluator Guide
