Some competitors limit annual prints on warranty or service contracts. You can be assured that this is a
product that can go the distance for a very long time. This is the kind of durability that business users are
looking for.

driver. PhaserSMART remote diagnostic tool examines the information, diagnoses the problem and
proposes a solution. If the problem is not resolved with the solution, PhaserSMART remote diagnostic tool
assists you in opening a priorityService Request with Xerox Customer Support, or lets you choose a local
Authorised Service Provider.
Warranty.
The Phaser 5500 comes with a One Year On-site Warranty. The highly reliable engine also means that
extended Service Contracts are available at very reasonable prices.
The volume demands on a departmental printer can be very high. Consider the life expectancy of a
printer as well as its peak volume capability.
Consider uptime. Does the printer provide warnings for low supplies or other potential productivity
blockers? Are there intelligent alternatives to a service call? How easy is it to replace are the routine
maintenance items such as the imaging drum and fuser?
Finally, look at how the manufacturer stands behind the product. Can you be sure you’ll get satisfaction?
