Powered by PrecisionCore Heat-Free technology, a simple, smart and clean solution, the AM-C550z and AM-M5500 are designed for remarkable reliability with low waste, zero warmup time and deliver a fast first page out, outstanding image quality and crisp text. Both MFPs offer impressive image quality along with the lowest power consumption in their classes – up to 60% lower versus color laser printers with the AM-C550z and up to 60% lower versus mono laser printers with the AM-M5500.

It supports up to Legal-sized media and includes an inner finisher for stacking, sorting and stapling. It has a recommended monthly print volume of 4,500 to 30,000 pages.

The AM-M5500 has an efficient design, using the least amount of floor space in its class and has an optional full-size or inner finisher for stacking, stapling and hole-punching. The full-size finisher can be expanded with a saddle unit for bifold, trifold and making booklets for in-house printshop applications. Its recommended monthly print volume ranges from 8,000 to 60,000 pages. It has wireless, multifax and multinetwork connectivity options and the ability to print from iOS mobile devices via AirPrint, print and scan from Android devices via Mopria.

Both WorkForce Enterprise MFPs are engineered for powerful business productivity with a full suite of advanced security features and an intuitive, user-friendly 10.1-inch color touch screen with a customizable interface for easy operation.
