Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 2551ci is actually for

Most equipment pages just tell you what a device does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We offer equipment for every business need, but the right machine depends on your specific workflow.

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You print 5,000 to 15,000 A3/A4 pages a month for a 20-40 person office.
  • You want 4,100-sheet max input for mixed media.
  • You scan and copy 11x17 with stackless duplex.
  • You'll use the 3.5 GB RAM for retained jobs.
  • You're cost-sensitive on a 25 ppm A3 color chassis.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your sustained volume is 30-40K monthly.
  • It's fine if 600 x 600 native covers your text quality.
  • It's fine if you keep the 8.5 inch touchscreen UI.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you'd benefit from 1200 x 1200 dpi (move to CS 2553ci or 2554ci).
  • Skip this if you actually need 100K sustained (size to a 30+ ppm class).
  • Skip this if you need a 9 inch or 10.1 inch panel.
  • Skip this if your work is A4-only.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Copystar's CS 2551ci is a 25 ppm A3 color laser MFP for busy office environments, sitting between the 2550ci and 2552ci in the line. It runs 25 ppm B/W and color (13 ppm on legal/ledger), carries 3.5 GB RAM and a 160 GB hard drive, and prints at 600 x 600 dpi native (9600 x 600 dpi interpolated). Monthly duty is 100,000 pages, paper handling supports up to 11 x 17 inch with stack-less duplex, 1,100-sheet input expandable to 4,100, and an 8.5 inch color touchscreen runs the UI. The 8.5 inch color touchscreen runs HyPAS solution apps for scan workflow, secure print release, and user authentication. Footprint is roughly 23 x 26 inches and weight is around 260 lb on the cabinet. Power runs on 110-127 V at 12 A, and the 100,000-page monthly duty cycle is a ceiling — sustained workload is closer to 30-40K monthly. Honest regret: at 100K pages duty and 25 ppm, you'll outrun this unit if you actually try to use 100K monthly — plan for 30-40K sustained.
