The Xerox Phaser 8400 Color Printer – An Unequalled Value For Fast-Paced Businesses

Every office needs a printer, and it will be used daily in most. Although it doesn’t seem like a big decision, it is an important one. The Xerox Phaser 8400 Printer is a high quality, low price option that uses solid Phaser 8400 maintenance kit for color printing. It is efficient and a good model to consider.

This Xerox printer can save you time, particularly because of its fast printing speeds. Page one of your document will fall in the tray in roughly six seconds. The rest of the pages print at 24 per minute. The printer has easy troubleshooting because of its PrintingScout and PhaserSMART tools that give on screen instructions. Other time-saving tools include the CentreWare embedded Web server which you can use to control the printer from your desktop, and the Usage Analysis tool that you use to create a record of the printing history.

The quality of documents is also important in printer purchasing. This printer produces high color, rich images that are particularly bright when you use its photo mode. The automatic color correction makes sure your document has an even quality to its printing, even when you have images and text on the same page.

This printer uses Solid Ink. That means that it uses solid silicone, which is heated and applied in a microscopic layer. It is a low-waste printing method that is not harmful to the environment. This process creates saturated, consistent color and can be used with a broad variety of mediums.

The Xerox Phaser should last a long time. It can produce as many as 85000 pages per month. When purchased new, it has a warranty for a full year. Also, it comes with the Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee.

Money-saving is part of the appeal of this particular line. It is particularly low price for its type, twice as fast as its cheaper rival while of higher quality than many more-expensive options. Printing with this machine will be a lot cheaper than using a printing company. This model can also do fast color, which uses less ink but also maintains the integrity of your images.

There are many tools the Phaser model offers that simplify printing. Some are pretty standard, such as the auto fit to page size, double-sided, booklet style, watermark, and collation options. Others are a little harder to come by, but still very useful. The cover sheet option gives you the ability to use a different paper tray for page one of your document, while the separate page option puts a blank sheet of paper between each print job so that they are easier for multiple users to separate.

This model has good hardware and software options. It comes with a 500 MHz PowerPC processor, 512 MB of memory, 20 GB of hard disk storage, and Adobe PostScript 3. It can connect to a network, and can also copy and scan. Its maximum paper size is legal, put it can be used with many different types of paper including envelopes.

Although the Phaser 8400 is no longer available new from Xerox, there are options for purchase. Consider the newer version of this printer line, the Phaser 8560, which also comes equipped with the high-quality Xerox Phaser 8400 toners. You can also consider software from Xerox, which should be compatible with this printer and its Xerox Phaser toner cartridges.
