Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Copystar CS 5003i 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 40,000 to 100,000 mono pages a month.
  • You want native 1200 dpi for fine text and engineering drawings.
  • You scan high volumes daily and need 270 ipm duplex scanning.
  • You want the larger 10.1-inch touchscreen for HyPas workflow apps.
  • You need optional TPM for compliance (HIPAA, FERPA, GLBA).
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you stay at 1,150 sheets standard capacity.
  • It's fine if you don't need fax and can use email-to-fax services.
  • It's fine if A3 is rare in your workflow.
  • It's fine if you want one machine to last 5+ years.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need color print output.
  • Skip this if your volume is under 10,000 pages a month.
  • Skip this if you don't want to invest in panel admin setup.
  • Skip this if budget rules out the DSDP and finisher you'd actually want.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Copystar CS 5003i is the next-generation 5002i. 50 ppm A4 mono, 25 ppm A3, but with a refreshed controller and the updated 10.1-inch touchscreen that runs newer HyPas apps. Native 1200 x 1200 dpi (up from 600 dpi on the 5002i), which matters for fine line work and small text. Standard 1,150-sheet capacity expands to 7,650. Scan speed is up to 270 ipm with the optional DSDP in duplex mode. Built-in mobile printing, optional fax, optional TPM for encryption requirements. The regret: the 10.1-inch screen is great but it inherits the same deep menu structure as the rest of the i-series, so plan for a half-day admin training session, the panel rewards setup investment.
