The Phaser 7400 handles media weights all the way up to 80 lb. Cover stock (216 gsm) from all trays
and up to 100 lb Cover from Tray 1 (MPT). Sizes can range from 4 x 6 in. up to 12 x 18 in. as well as
user definable custom sizes in-between. The Media Weight Sensor automatically selects the best 
printing conditions to match the loaded media.

For top quality results, Xerox-branded supplies are engineered to provide optimum performance in
your Phaser printer. The Phaser 7400 prints on plain and heavy papers, Phaser branded transparencies,
laser quality labels, envelopes, cover stock, recycled media, business card media, greeting cards, and
CD/DVD labels and inserts.

An input capacity of up to 3000 sheets and an output capacity of up to 1000 sheets assures office users
of more uninterrupted printing and less user intervention. You’ll always print on the media you expect
thanks to the Smart Trays technology. The printer driver displays what media is in each tray and knows
what your MS Office application is set for, and then matches them perfectly.

Finishing options run from an offset catch tray to various hole-punch and stapling positions, all the
way to a V-fold booklet maker with saddle stitch stapling. Versatile enough to meet all your office
requirements. 

Consider media weights and sizes – what type and variety of media will your organization
expect the printer to print on. Obviously a tabloid printer must print up to 11 x 17 in., 
but will it print on larger media to allow for full bleeds? Will the printer support a variety of
sizes automatically from all the input trays? Does the printer accept envelopes in multiple sizes?
How broad is the media weight range? Will the printer support automatic two-sided printing? 

Consider input capacity – does the printer have high volume input capacity to support large
uninterrupted print jobs? Is the input capacity adequately divided to allow for a variety of 
media selections? Will the duty cycle stand up the demands of your organization?

Consider a variety of users – can the printer handle the requirements of multiple users 
with diverse needs? Consider the types of documents your network users may need to print;
multi-page reports printed on both sides, large spreadsheets with color highlights, customer
newsletters, routine email and other internal documents, small production runs, custom jobs,
and others.
