ECOSYS PA5500x: A Reliable A4 Mono Solution for Busy Workgroups

The Kyocera ECOSYS PA5500x is designed for workgroups that need reliable, high-volume A4 monochrome printing without taking up unnecessary space.

With print speeds of up to 55 pages per minute, a recommended average print volume of 27,500 pages per month and a maximum device life of up to 1 million pages or five years, it is well suited to businesses where printing is part of the everyday workflow.

For Alloys partners, the PA5500x offers a strong combination of performance, paper capacity, security and ECOSYS efficiency to build into a range of workgroup print solutions.

Performance for busy workgroups

At up to 55 A4 pages per minute, with a first print time of approximately 4.5 seconds or less, the PA5500x is built to keep up with busy print environments. It also provides 1,200 x 1,200 dpi resolution for sharp, professional-looking documents.

This makes it a natural fit for environments such as finance, administration, education, logistics and other departments with consistent monochrome print requirements. 

The device also supports automatic duplex printing at up to 39.5 pages per minute, helping businesses manage everyday document production efficiently.

Flexible paper handling

The standard configuration includes a 500-sheet universal paper cassette and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray, with optional configurations taking total input capacity to 2,600 sheets.

For higher-volume environments, partners can configure the PA5500x with up to four PF-3110 500-sheet paper feeders or a PF-3100 2,000-sheet bulk paper feeder.

This gives you scope to configure the device around different workgroup requirements, whether the priority is multiple paper sources or greater capacity for longer print runs.

The ECOSYS advantage

The PA5500x is part of Kyocera's ECOSYS range, which uses long-life components and a cartridge-free system designed to reduce the ongoing costs associated with maintenance, administration and consumables.

The TK-3434 toner kit provides an average yield of approximately 25,000 A4 pages, while the supplied starter toner has a capacity of approximately 10,000 pages.

 

For customers comparing print solutions, this provides a useful basis for looking beyond the initial device price and considering ongoing print costs across the life of the printer. 

Security and connectivity

The PA5500x includes a range of security features for business network environments, including IPsec, HTTPS, LDAP over TLS, SNMPv3, SMTP over TLS, encrypted PDF direct printing and secure printing over IPP/TLS. Local and network authentication are also supported.

Connectivity includes standard Gigabit Ethernet and USB, with optional wireless LAN available. The device also supports KYOCERA Mobile Print, AirPrint, Mopria and Wi-Fi Direct, giving businesses options for different working environments.

Optional security and workflow configurations include a TPM, IC card reader and authentication kit, while SSD options from 64GB to 512GB are available for supported document management requirements.

A practical choice for workgroup print

The PA5500x brings together the features that matter in a busy business print environment: 55 ppm performance, flexible paper capacity, long-life ECOSYS components, strong network security and a range of configuration options. 

For partners, that makes it a versatile A4 mono platform for customers looking for dependable day-to-day printing with a focus on long-term operating costs.
