Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Enjoy brilliant, professional color output. The Xerox Phaser 8400 series' solid ink color is truer, more saturated, and remarkably consistent, page after page, on virtually any media. Plus, it's priced incredibly low to give you the competitive edge of color for about the cost of a black-only network printer. The entry-level 8400/B offers 128 MB memory, bidirectional parallel and USB 2.0 interfaces, a 100-sheet first tray plus 525-sheet second tray, custom-size pages, Phaser Installer, Intelligent Ready technology, and a great low price.

It's the fastest first-page-out speed of any color printer in its class?six seconds to your first page. Most documents are fewer than five pages, so how fast the first page drops in the tray is a key indicator of printer performance. Full page color at up to 24 ppm means you're never kept waiting for even the largest jobs to print. It's built around a high-speed 500 MHz PowerPC processor, up to 512 MB memory, true Adobe PostScript 3, and support for an optional hard drive for ultimate performance.

Solid Ink Technology
An alternative to laser printing, solid ink provides a truer, more saturated, and remarkably consistent images on virtually any printing surface. Plus, Automatic Color Correction applies the best print method to each element on a page (text vs. graphics vs. photos) to eliminate compromise between text and graphics quality. Photo mode offers an incredible rich, image-enhancing color control. Solid Ink is virtually waste-free. The proven reliability is backed by a one-year warranty and the unmatched Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee.

Features that Reduce Printing Costs

• With the lowest price in its class, the 8400 series allows you to buy a high-speed-feature-packed printer for less.
• Get high-quality color printed in-house, so you won't wait nervously for your color printing to return from the print shop.
• Fast Color Mode uses less ink and still gives you great quality color.

Features that Simplify Printing

• N-Up Printing provides more than one page on a single sheet. Get one-up, two-up, or as many as 16-up printing on the same page. This feature decreases the consumption of paper and ink.
• The cover sheet feature allows you to feed the first page of the document from a different media tray.
• Separation pages allow you to separate print jobs with blank sheets, making it easier to see where one job ends and the next begins.
• Collation allows you to print multiple copies of multiple-page documents in the correct numerical sequence.
• AutoFit automatically scales a page to best fit the sheet size of the media in the designated input tray.
• Watermark provides the ability to print text, such as "Draft" or "Confidential," in the background of every page of a document.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is my main printer, October 13, 2010

This review is from: Xerox Phaser 8400/B Solid-Ink Color Printer (Office Product)

This has been my main printer for 5 years now.
It is incredibly durable and economical, plus the print speed and quality are excellent.
I like the fact that it can print glossy photos on non-coated paper.
The ink blocks last a very long time, so the cost per page is a lot less than that of color lasers.
My only complaint is that it takes too long to start from sleep mode.
So, I have to choose between setting a long interval before engaging sleep mode, driving up energy cost, or choosing a shorter interval and occasionally waiting through long warm-ups.
At any rate, I am happy with the printer, and I have had no problems with it (36K+ pages on the counter now).

2.0 out of 5 stars solid ink printers smell like crayons, October 14, 2008

I just bought a Phaser solid ink printer. It smells like crayons. I will have to return it because everytime it goes on, it aggravates my asthma. Do not buy this for a small office or one without constant ventilation.
