Xerox 550 Sheet Tray

Enhance productivity and streamline everyday printing with the Xerox 550 Sheet Tray. This high-capacity paper tray is purpose-built for busy offices, workgroups, and home offices that demand reliability and efficiency from their printer setups. By expanding input capacity to 550 sheets, it minimizes reloads, reduces interruptions, and keeps your printing workflow flowing smoothly through long jobs, multi-page reports, marketing collateral, legal documents, and bulk mail tasks. The Xerox 550 Sheet Tray is more than a storage accessory; it’s a strategic upgrade that helps teams stay on schedule, meet tight deadlines, and deliver professional results consistently.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with Xerox printers that support this tray size, the 550 Sheet Tray delivers a dependable paper path and consistent feeding. It contributes to improved print quality by providing stable media handling, reducing chances of skew, misfeeds, and jams that can derail important projects. In fast-paced environments where reliability matters as much as capacity, this tray becomes a practical ally for departments such as finance, operations, marketing, and customer service that regularly print large volumes or lengthy documents. With its straightforward loading process and user-friendly guides, the tray minimizes downtime and maximizes uptime—allowing teams to stay productive without sacrificing output quality.

One of the standout advantages of the Xerox 550 Sheet Tray is its versatility. The adjustable guides let you quickly adapt the tray to different paper sizes, ensuring the stack is aligned correctly for smooth feeding. This flexibility is essential for organizations that routinely switch between Letter, A4, and other standard formats, or that run forms and reports in varying sizes. The tray’s front-loading design makes loading simple and efficient, while its robust construction supports daily use in busy work environments. The overall footprint is designed to complement Xerox printers without adding clutter, helping you maintain a tidy, professional workspace that reflects your commitment to efficiency and reliability.

In addition to capacity and versatility, the 550 Sheet Tray emphasizes ease of installation and maintenance. With simple alignment and a secure seating mechanism, installation is quick, often taking only a few minutes. Once in place, loading media is straightforward, with clear fill lines to guide you and provide a quick visual cue for when it’s time to reload. Routine maintenance is minimal—regularly check the guides and ensure the stack remains within the recommended fill line to preserve feeding accuracy. This practicality makes the Xerox 550 Sheet Tray an excellent long-term investment for organizations that want to optimize their printer ecosystem without adding complexity.

For businesses seeking measurable productivity gains, the Xerox 550 Sheet Tray represents a balanced combination of capacity, reliability, and ease of use. It’s not just about adding more paper—it's about reducing workflow interruptions, enabling faster turnaround times on large print runs, and supporting consistent output across critical documents. Whether you’re producing marketing catalogs, annual reports, client proposals, or HR packets, this tray is designed to support high-volume printing with confidence. By letting your printer handle larger stacks of paper at once, you can devote more time to design, analysis, and decision-making—rather than constantly managing paper replenishment.

From a value perspective, the Xerox 550 Sheet Tray aligns with modern office needs: it’s a practical upgrade that complements existing printer hardware, minimizes downtime, and contributes to a more efficient, productive workplace. Its dependable feeding, simple operation, and compatibility with Xerox models that accept 550-sheet trays make it a sensible addition for teams looking to optimize workflow. If you’re expanding print capacity or looking to reduce the number of reloads during big print jobs, this tray offers a straightforward path to better throughput and more consistent results across every print run.

• Maximized capacity with 550 sheets: The primary benefit is extended print runs without frequent reloading, enabling teams to complete lengthy documents, catalogs, reports, and marketing materials in fewer steps. This capacity translates into real productivity gains, less downtime between tasks, and a smoother workflow, particularly during reporting cycles, quarter-end processes, and project-heavy periods when printing demands spike.
• Versatile media handling with adjustable guides: The tray includes adjustable paper guides that adapt to common paper sizes such as Letter and A4, allowing quick changes between jobs. The guides lock securely in place to prevent shifting during feeding, helping ensure consistent alignment and reducing misfeeds. This flexibility is ideal for mixed-media workflows where you switch between different formats without changing trays.
• Reliable feeding and consistent output: A stable paper path minimizes jams and skew, contributing to crisp text, strong graphics, and uniform margins across large documents. By maintaining stable media handling, the tray supports high-quality results even during high-volume printing, which is essential for professional documents, client presentations, and official records.
• Durable design that fits professional environments: Built to withstand daily use in busy offices, the tray combines a sturdy construction with a clean, unobtrusive appearance that complements Xerox printers. Its rugged yet streamlined design helps reduce wear over time and maintains a neat, organized printer setup, reducing clutter and supporting a productive workspace aesthetic.
• Easy installation and maintenance: The installation is straightforward, with intuitive alignment and locking mechanisms that minimize downtime. Once installed, loading media is quick and simple, and routine maintenance is limited to occasional cleaning of guides and ensuring stock remains within the fill line. This makes it a practical, low-maintenance accessory that IT teams and office staff can rely on daily.
