Your needs, this model
Does it fit your priorities?
Can Ethernet support color Legal duplex output, Legal scans on both glass and automatic duplex feeder, fax, PIN release and 8,000-page months with 700 input sheets?
Yes with compatible computer drivers, configured network scan storage and an enabled analog telephone line for fax. Legal is established for each required paper and scan route. The 10,000-page recommended maximum applies; the larger duty figure is separate. The scanner mechanism is not established as single-pass.
Explore this need in the finder →Can a supported Apple mobile device print through the office network when the printer itself uses Ethernet?
Yes. Native AirPrint is documented for the shared office network. The mobile device uses that network connection; a wireless adapter on the printer is a separate optional accessory. This does not establish every computer-driver paper or scanner setting in the mobile application.
Explore this need in the finder →Does the base 6655/X meet an essential Wi-Fi printer connection without added hardware?
No. Both the exact detailed specification and the original brochure list Wi-Fi through an optional Xerox wireless networking adapter. The base Ethernet/USB configuration cannot borrow that accessory or be treated as including a Wi-Fi radio.
Explore this need in the finder →A wired color workflow with a genuinely Legal glass
The Xerox WorkCentre 6655/X suits a team that prints color documents and scans longer originals into configured network destinations. Its glass accommodates Legal pages, and the included document feeder also captures both original sides automatically. That combination matters when fragile Legal originals cannot travel through a feeder.
The deciding connection limit is that Wi-Fi needs an optional adapter. Ethernet and USB computer printing are included, while the documented network scanner relies on its destination setup. A flash-drive scan is a separate function from scanning directly into a USB-connected computer.
The current US Xerox shop identifies the model as discontinued. This is an earlier-model reference; verify the exact 110 V edition, condition, software compatibility and available consumables before making it part of an office routine.
Use the glass and feeder for different originals
The 8.5 x 14 inch glass supports Letter, Legal and A4 originals. Place an individual page face down at the upper-left corner and align it with the size marks. Bound, fragile or unsuitable feeder originals belong on this stationary surface.
For loose sheets, load the document feeder face up with the first page on top and the top edge entering first. Adjust the guides and remain below the maximum fill line. Its declared capacity is 60 sheets, with paper-weight conditions stated in the original sources.
Automatic two-sided original capture is confirmed. The reviewed material does not establish the physical reversing or single-pass method, so do not choose it on a single-pass assumption. One-sided and two-sided original weights also differ: the guide lists 50–125 gsm and 60–125 gsm respectively.
Give each network scan a destination
A scan template identifies both the settings and the place receiving the file. The administrator must establish a reachable repository, meaning a network filing location, before the panel workflow can deliver documents there.
For an SMB shared folder, confirm the computer or server address, share and directory path, and an account with suitable access. The original administrator instructions include checking that the account can write to the location. A successful printer queue does not prove that these scanner permissions work.
At Services Home, open Workflow Scanning, select the template group and the intended template, then set Output Color and original sides. The rotate-side-two option changes the second image's orientation. Confirm the file name and original type before starting.
An enabled printer mailbox is another network workflow. It stores the file on the printer for retrieval through CentreWare Internet Services. Check its access and cleanup policies rather than treating a public mailbox as a private archive.
700 sheets are included; the larger total is optional
The standard main drawer holds 550 ordinary sheets and the bypass 150, totaling 700 at the US specification's 20 lb, 75 gsm basis. Both support Letter, Legal and A4. Adding a separate 550-sheet drawer raises an equipped machine to 1,250.
Automatic two-sided printing supports those three ordinary sizes within the guide's stated range. Supported duplex media reaches 163 gsm for the listed types. The wider one-sided media capabilities do not extend every sheet's duplex suitability.
Choose the actual size, type and source in a compatible computer driver, then set the desired page-turning layout. The included convenience stapler is used separately after output; it is not an automatic finishing unit attached to the paper path.
Secure Print holds the computer job for your code
In Printing Options, select Secure Print as the job type, enter a four-to-ten-digit passcode and confirm it. Verify paper settings and send the document. At Job Status on the printer, open the secure-jobs tab, select its folder, enter the code and release the required job.
Timed deletion can remove an uncollected job. Sample Set prints a sample before holding the remaining copies, which serves a different purpose. Optional card or badge systems are separate from this included passcode routine.
AirPrint and Mopria are documented for supported mobile devices on the appropriate shared network. The printer can use Ethernet while the mobile device uses that network's Wi-Fi. This does not add a radio to the printer or establish every full-driver setting in a mobile application.
Check supplies, telephone setup and working space
Embedded fax requires its enabled and configured telephone line. The original guide excludes its cited VoIP examples; do not treat Ethernet as the fax line. Server and Internet fax have additional arrangements.
US replacement toner numbers differ from the inherited international brochure. Starter toner, replacement toner and maintenance kits have separate declared yields and conditions. Recommended regular volume reaches 10,000 monthly pages; the 100,000 duty figure is a different maximum. Finally, allow loading and cover clearance around the 82.9 lb base body, plus any optional drawer or stand.

Paper, software and setup details
Print-rate conditions
The US exact X table declares ordinary one-sided color and monochrome printing up to 36 Letter pages/min, 35 A4 and 29 Legal. The original guide separately declares automatic two-sided Letter 24 and A4 23 pages/min. Scan input rates of 54 monochrome or 29 color Letter images/min, and their duplex figures, are different measurements. Recommended regular monthly volume is up to 10,000; the 100,000 duty declaration is explicitly a nonsustained maximum. No measured-speed claim.
Paper handling
Included main drawer 550 and bypass 150 total 700 ordinary sheets at the original US 20 lb, 75 gsm capacity basis. Letter, Legal and A4 fit both and are explicitly in the guide standard-size table. Automatic duplex supports those ordinary sizes within its 148–215.9 mm width and 210–355.6 mm length range, with the listed 60–163 gsm types and weights. The broad one-sided media ranges do not extend that duplex limit. Optional extra 550-sheet drawer raises a separately equipped total to 1,250; stand is also optional. Envelopes use the bypass and print one side only. For long-edge flaps, load short edge first, flaps down and right. Nonadhesive short-edge flaps: print side up, flaps open/down, bottom edge first. Adhesive short-edge flaps: print side up, flaps closed/down, flap edge first. Match panel size/type/color and driver orientation, rotating the image if needed. No envelope stack count established.
Scanning arrangement
The 60-sheet duplex automatic document feeder and the actual 8.5 x 14 inch glass support Letter, Legal and A4. Automatic two-sided original capture is positive, but reversing versus single-pass physical method is unestablished; use the explicitly unspecified duplex route, never a single-pass claim. The US specification capacity basis is 75 gsm; the original guide gives approximately 60 at 80 gsm, a separate condition. Feeder weights are 50–125 gsm for one-sided and 60–125 gsm for two-sided originals. Load loose pages face up, first page on top/top edge first, set guides and stay below MAX. Place fragile or bound originals face down at the upper-left glass corner. Optical 600 x 600 differs from interpolated TWAIN resolution.
Computer and mobile connections
Included Gigabit Ethernet and USB Type B computer printing. Wireless networking requires optional adapter 497K11500 and is excluded from the base plans. Network scanning uses a configured file repository/template or enabled printer mailbox retrieved through CentreWare Internet Services. For a repository, confirm SMB services, reachable address, shared directory, read/write account and appropriate permissions. Select Workflow Scanning, template group and template, then Output Color, original sides, original type and file name. A working print queue alone does not configure a scan destination. USB flash storage and optional Scan to PC Desktop software do not establish direct scanning to a USB-connected computer; that route remains unknown.
Supplies and declared yields
Original supplied toner is declared at 6,000 black and 3,000 each cyan, magenta and yellow. US replacements are black 106R02747 at 12,000 and cyan 106R02744, magenta 106R02745 and yellow 106R02746 at 7,500 each, under ISO/IEC 19798 conditions. Imaging kit 108R01121 up to 60,000, waste cartridge 108R01124 up to 30,000, transfer kit 108R01122 and fusers up to 100,000 have approximate maintenance-life conditions. US 110 V fuser 115R00088 differs from 220 V 115R00089. The international inherited brochure lists toner 2752–55, not the US retail codes. Staple cartridge 108R00823 belongs to the offline convenience stapler. No current price, cost per page or used-unit remaining-life claim.
Software and support
Secure Print is included for compatible computer drivers. Choose Printing Options, Job Type, Secure Print, enter and confirm a 4–10 digit passcode, then send. At Job Status, open Secure Print Jobs or My Secure Jobs, select its folder, enter the passcode, select the job and Release. Timed deletion can remove uncollected jobs. Sample Set and Hold All Jobs have different purposes; optional badge systems are separate. Native AirPrint and Mopria are documented for supported devices through the appropriate shared office network. An Ethernet-connected printer can serve the wireless side of that network; optional printer Wi-Fi is not included. Native mobile controls do not borrow computer scanner, paper-specific duplex, envelope or PIN settings. Historical cloud/software and security listings are not promises of current service availability, current patch status or present OS compatibility.
Electrical edition and setup
US detailed specifications explicitly identify the X configuration and North American 110–127 V edition; original service product-code table corroborates sold 6655_X 110 V versus 6655V_X 220 V. Verify the physical rating label and actual software revision. Included embedded fax needs its enabled, configured telephone line at the Line port; original guide does not support VoIP examples such as FIOS/DSL. Server, Internet and LAN fax require their own arrangements, and the generic optional LAN Fax Kit statement is not used as a guaranteed computer fax path. The included 20-sheet convenience stapler is offline, not automatic finishing. Unpackaged base body is 21.2 x 21.8 x 24.6 inches and 82.9 lb. Allow open glass/feeder, trays, service doors, cables and ventilation. Current US manufacturer shop explicitly says discontinued.
