Refreshed 55 ppm A3 B&W enterprise MFP with 200 ipm dual-scan ADF for scan-heavy 25K to 60K page workflows.
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 5501i prints A3 B&W at 55 ppm and is the next step up from the 5500i with refreshed controller hardware and improved scan handling. Designed for enterprise floors running 25,000 to 60,000 B&W pages a month. Standard duplex print, dual-scan ADF runs at about 200 ipm for two-sided originals. Optional DF-7110 100-sheet stapler and DF-7120 saddle-stitch finisher. HyPAS workflow apps. Ecosys long-life drum keeps cost-per-page low. One regret: at 55 ppm the 5501i is only 3 ppm faster than the 5500i — what you are buying is the controller refresh and faster scan throughput, not raw print speed. If your team scans heavily, the 5501i pulls ahead; if you mostly print, the older 5500i at refurbished pricing gives the same print throughput for less. Pick based on workflow mix.

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.
