Older-generation 52 ppm A3 B&W enterprise workhorse for 20K to 50K pages, refurbished fit for high-volume mono.
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.
Kyocera's TASKalfa 5500i prints A3 B&W at 52 ppm and is the older-generation enterprise mono workhorse in this speed tier. Designed for offices and departments running 20,000 to 50,000 B&W pages a month. Standard duplex print, scan to email/SMB/FTP, optional fax, and DF-790 100-sheet stapler with optional saddle-stitch. Ecosys long-life drum keeps cost-per-page competitive. One regret: this is end-of-current-generation Kyocera. Parts and service support continue but firmware updates have slowed and Kyocera Cloud Print integration is limited compared to current 5004i units. Most replacements move to the i-series 5004i for current security and cloud features. 5500i still earns its keep at refurbished pricing for high-volume mono workflows where firmware features don't drive the buying decision.

Three ways to get this printer, each priced to match how you actually use it. Most small offices lease because toner and maintenance are bundled. If you know what you need, buy outright. If you already own one, just reorder supplies.
Final lease rate depends on term length, credit profile, and bundled supplies. Outright purchase and supplies pricing varies with bundled warranty, install packages, and order volume. Request a quote for exact pricing.
