Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• What separates this 5500n model from the baseline 5500 machine?
  The "n" status indicates that this hardware package comes fully network-ready out of the box with an integrated internal Jetdirect Embedded Ethernet print server card module. It also features an upgraded 160 MB memory baseline compared to the 96 MB standard on the base unit.
• Does this model support automatic double-sided duplex printing out of the box?
  No. On the 5500n model, two-sided printing routines must be fed manually. Automated duplex mechanics require installing the optional HP C9666A hardware addon or upgrading to the 5500dn, 5500dtn, or 5500hdn variations.
• Are color wide-format documents significantly slower than standard monochrome jobs on this printer?
  No. Thanks to its modern inline single-pass printing architecture, this engine processes full-color documents and standard black-and-white text sheets at the exact same pace of 21 pages per minute for Letter size prints.
• What is the maximum sheet dimension capacity for wide-format paper stocks used on this device?
  The built-in multi-tray paper feed architecture accommodates wide-format media layout styles up to a standard maximum size profile of 12.28 inches wide by 18.5 inches long.
