Continuing its charge to serve the growing needs of offices and workgroups from small to large, Xerox Corporation today announced four new black-and-white products including a high-speed departmental network laser printer, a desktop laser printer, an affordable entry-level multifunction copier/printer, and a small workgroup fax machine.

The Phaser™ 5500 network laser printer, Phaser™ 3150 desktop laser printer, WorkCentre™ PE120/PE120i copier/printer, and FaxCentre™ F116/F116L are the latest Xerox products that support its strategy of delivering systems that scale from the personal desktop up to large workgroups or departments.

“Customers who use black-and-white printers, MFPs and fax machines expect their devices to be reliable and work flawlessly day in and day out,” said Tim Williams, president, Xerox Office Group. “We’ve designed our new products to live up to that expectation, while delivering the features and performance needed to match today’s fast-paced work environments.”

It also delivers advanced productivity with up to six paper input sources plus stacking and finishing options. The Phaser 5500 comes standard with a 500 MHz PowerPC processor and 128 MB of RAM (upgradeable to 512 MB).
