Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imageRUNNER 5055 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 run an in-plant, central repro, or production print shop printing 50,000-150,000 pages a month.
  • You want 55 ppm letter B&W with true 1200 x 1200 dpi and 250K pages/month duty cycle.
  • You're replacing a like-for-like 5055 / 5055N and want supply continuity (GPR-21 / C-EXV13 family).
  • You can use the 3,650-sheet standard capacity for long unattended runs and grow with optional decks.
  • You need MEAP for secure print release, scan-routing, or other custom workflows.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 30,000-50,000 pages a month — within duty cycle, you'll amortize over a longer lease.
  • You need full finishing — staple-stacker, booklet finisher, hole-punch all available as add-ons.
  • You need scan-to-network — SMB/FTP/email native; cloud needs MEAP apps.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print under 25,000 pages a month — this is a production unit, get an iR 3245 instead.
  • You need color. Mono only.
  • You need TLS 1.2 / SMBv3 / AirPrint native — not on this platform.
  • You don't have 208V single-phase power, adequate floor space, and trained operators — this isn't an office plug-in.
  • You need a current security baseline — the 5055 is end-of-life from Canon for security patches.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon imageRUNNER 5055 (and the network-standard 5055N variant) is a 55 ppm production-class B&W MFP — same chassis as the 5020/5050, but with the faster engine, 250,000 pages/month max duty cycle, and 3.5 second first copy out. Print resolution is true 1200 x 1200 dpi. Standard paper capacity is 3,650 sheets across dual 550-sheet drawers, dual 1,500-sheet drawers, and a 50-sheet bypass — expandable with optional decks. The 10.4-inch color touchscreen, standard auto duplex, MEAP application platform, 100-sheet DADF, and Gigabit Ethernet are all in the box. Toner is the GPR-21 / C-EXV13 family. The chassis is 47 x 25-3/8 x 29-1/4 inches and weighs around 470 lb. This is the right machine for an in-plant, central reprographics department, or production print shop printing 50,000-150,000 pages a month that needs 55 ppm B&W throughput with full finishing options. The thing buyers regret: assuming this platform has modern security or cloud workflows. It doesn't. Most buyers today are existing fleet operators replacing a sister unit; if you need modern security, look at the iR-ADV DX 6700 series instead.

FAQ

Canon imageRUNNER 5055 , common questions

The questions we get asked most often on this model. If yours isn't here, call (888) 574-5120 and get an answer in about 30 seconds.

Yes, the Canon imageRUNNER 5055 ships with a starter toner cartridge. The starter toner has an estimated yield of approximately 45,000 to 48,000 pages at 5-6% coverage. The replacement toner model is the Canon GPR-24 Black (1872B003AA), which also yields around 45,000 to 48,000 pages. When you lease through us with toner included, you never pay for toner separately.
The Canon imageRUNNER 5055 is a production-class monochrome MFP with a 55 ppm print speed, a 250,000 pages/month duty cycle, and a 3.5-second first copy out time, making it ideal for high-volume environments. In contrast, the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX 4825i is designed for smaller workgroups, offering 25 ppm, a 10.1" touchscreen, and optional features like a single-pass DADF for faster scanning. The 5055 is better suited for large-scale printing, while the 4825i is more compact and cost-effective for offices printing 3,000 to 15,000 pages monthly. For small offices, the 4825i may offer better value with its modern features and lower footprint.
The Canon imageRUNNER 5055 is designed for high-volume environments, with a 55 ppm print speed and a 250,000 pages/month duty cycle, making it overkill for most small businesses. Its large size and production-class features are better suited for central reprographics departments or print shops. Small businesses with lower print volumes may find it more cost-effective to consider a smaller, more modern option.
No, the Canon imageRUNNER 5055 is a monochrome-only printer and does not support color printing. For color printing needs, consider alternatives like the Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5560i, Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3525i, or Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3530i.
