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 view-
ing. The front panel offers menu-based naviga-
tion 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

6/5e emulations. Organized by tabs, the print
drivers make job programming easy and intui-
tive. The most commonly used features are
located on the default tab, with advanced fea-
tures 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.
