AI-generated summary
The Xerox 1x550 sheet tray is the sort of “boring but effective” upgrade you buy when your printer is constantly running out of paper and you’re sick of babysitting trays. For £351.88 ex‑VAT, it only really makes sense if you’re getting genuine daily paper handling pain—otherwise you’ll just be paying for convenience you don’t actually need. If you print regularly (bigger batches, frequent jobs, or office departments where several users send printing) a second tray often reduces interruptions and keeps job flow smoother, which is where the value is.
That said, it’s very much a niche add‑on: it’s not a universal solution, and you don’t want to buy it unless it’s confirmed to fit your exact Xerox printer model. If you’re on a smaller setup with low volume, or you already have an alternative paper feed option that’s cheaper, I’d skip it. For offices that run consistent volume and want fewer interruptions, though, this is the kind of practical accessory that earns its keep pretty quickly. If you tell me your printer model, I can sanity-check whether it’s a smart fit or an unnecessary spend.
