D 5550iD and D 7250iD: The digital power packs
The digital systems with extensive advantages

With the D 5550iD and D 7250iD models, DEVELOP is offering you two powerful digital
systems for high-volume printing and copying. In situations where other printing and copying
systems reach their limits, these digital power packs are only just getting started.
The keyword is: print on demand. As the subject here is speed and flexibility, the D 5550iD and
D 7250iD are the perfect solution for printing works, in-house print shops and large office
workgroups. Six highlights at a glance:

From high-speed copier to central printing station

The control centre for the printing function

Using the optional Fiery X3e controller, you can turn the two
digital systems into powerful network printers. At a speed of
55 and 72 pages per minute (A4 landscape), the D 5550iD and
D 7250iD print crystal clear at 600 dpi. The Fiery X3e is equip-
ped with a 366 MHz processor which can be integrated into a
large number of networks.
With the optional HDD-2 hard disk, you can save print jobs on
the digital system and recall them when required.
The Fiery software
As standard, the Fiery X3e controller offers you a number of
additional software packages enabling fast efficient operation.
The controller has the following intelligent software packages
integrated as standard:

The two digital systems continue to accept new jobs while the

No more tedious sorting of originals before and after copying.

equipment during the everyday work in an in-house print
shop.
So it reduces the load on your service provider...

Inserting (cover)
The cover insertion unit for FN-10 and FN-121

By fitting the cover insertion unit to the FN-10 finisher, you

can add pre-printed covers to your brochures afterwards. In
this way you can obtain professional brochures for numerous
uses. With this cover insertion unit you can also manually sta-
ple, punch and fold at a later stage. So you also do not need
to procure a letter folding machine. As you can see, although
the finisher forms a functional unit with the digital systems, it
can also be used on its own.

The fan folding unit/hole-punching unit for FN-10 and FN-

121 finishers

Your might, for example, wish to produce a document which

neatly incorporates building plans, balance sheets, technical
drawings, pages with comments, diagrams etc. which have
been created in a larger format than that of the other pages.
With the fan-folding/hole-punching unit (ZK-3), this is no pro-
blem. Your entire document will have a professional look and
will be in a practical form for stapling. With this option your
documents can also be punched.

Manual, subsequent punching of holes in copies frequently

requires a great deal of time and effort. The hole-punching
unit (PK-5e) for the FN-10 relieves you of this tiresome job.

Capacity and technology

Pure paper capacity

As standard the two digital systems have a capacity of 3,600

sheets (80 g/m2) and, with the large capacity A4 cassette tray
or alternatively the large capacity A3 cassette tray, can take up
to a maximum of 7600 sheets of paper.
Here the cassette trays can be used for any size between A5
and A3+ (314 x 459 mm) and paper thicknesses up to
200 g/m2. If you wish to copy in A6 format, this can be easily
done with the aid of the multi-bypass system installed as stan-
dard.
If the paper runs low during printing, you can add more paper
without interrupting the print job.

tion of the digital system. Accordingly, the D5550iD and

D7250iD are just as exacting in relation to economy as they
are on performance and quality.

System accessories: For us modular is not just an empty cliché
Modular means that a system can be assembled from a large number of functional modules. On the D 5550iD and D 7250iD digital
systems, numerous variations are available.
The interface to the network is provided by the optional Fiery X3e 7255 BW-KM controller. The controller is equipped with a 366 MHz
processor and is also compatible with many network protocols. The optional HDD-2 hard disk extends the printing and copying fea-
tures. If you also want to increase the copying memory, in addition to the 64MB standard RAM, the following upgrades are availa-
ble: 64, 128, 256 and 512MB.

Standard model
This is how the digital power houses are supplied if no options are chosen. The
cassette trays can be used for any size between A5 and A3+ (314 x 459 mm) and
paper thicknesses up to 200 g/m2.
If you wish to copy in A6 format or using special media, such as labels or transpa-
rencies, this can be easily done with the aid of the multi-bypass system installed as
standard and its capacity of 100 sheets.

Large capacity A4 cassette tray (C-403)

The large cassette tray for landscape A4 has a capacity of 4,000 sheets of normal
paper and thus increases the standard capacity from 3,600 sheets to 7,600 sheets.
The large cassette tray can also feed paper with a thickness of up to 200 g/m2.

Large capacity A3 cassette tray (C-404)

The large cassette tray for A3 has a capacity of 4,000 sheets of normal paper and
thus increases the standard capacity from 3,600 sheets to 7,600 sheets. The large
cassette tray can also feed paper with a thickness of up to 200 g/m2.
The original document feeder is standard on the D 5550iD and D 7250iD.

10
Collated output (OT-104)
Collated output is the best solution for frequent use in large work groups, as copy-
ing and print jobs are easier to find. The output has a capacity of up to 1,250 sheets
of A4 and can collate every format that the digital system produces.

Finisher FN-10
The FN-10 finisher shown performs, along with the folding and stapling (saddle) of
brochures, also triple folding for letters. For the latter you will need the optional
ZK-3 fan folding/hole-punching unit (with mount kit) that also enables you to punch
two or four holes. As an alternative, a simple hole-punching unit (PK-5e) can be
used.

Other finishers available:

FN 121 finisher with stapling function and optional hole-punching unit

FN 122 finisher (only for D 5550iD) with hole-punching, stapling and optional fol-
ding function with ZK-3
The difference in appearance between these two finishers and the FN-10 is that
they do not have a collecting tray for brochures.

Cover insertion unit for FN-10 and FN-121 finishers

In this way pre-printed covers can be added to your brochures or sets later. This is
important for heavy, coloured paper up to 200 g/m2.
