EASY TO USE
Small & Light
At just 422 x 533 x 368 mm, and only about 28 kg, the Phaser 8400 colour printer occupies only
a modest space for such a full-featured printer. Many colour laser printers require twice
the work space as the Phaser 8400 and weigh considerably more.
Friendly Front Panel
The large high-contrast front panel display is simple and
intuitive, and it’s backlit for comfortable viewing. A list
of help topics is available at the main menu. What’s
more, pressing the i button pops up a contextual help
message to explain whatever menu function or message
is being displayed.
Easy Access
Loading ink is as simple as loading a stapler.
Simply open the top cover, drop the shape-coded
and numbered ink sticks into the matching slot,
and close the cover. Ink sticks can be added at any
time without waiting for the ink to run out, so
you’re always ready to print.
The maintenance kit is also easily accessed from
a side panel; just slide it in or out. The Standard
Maintenance kit consists of a maintenance roller
and a counter. It lasts up to 10,000 prints, while the
Extended Maintenance kit supports up to 30,000
prints. Replacement takes less than a minute.
Easily Upgradeable
The Phaser 8400 colour printer’s modular design allows for easy upgrades. The printer’s main
board can be accessed by loosening two thumb screws, so you can add memory or a hard disk.
The configuration card is accessed from the side of the printer, allowing easy feature upgrades.
Phaser 8400 Solid Ink
The improved formulation of Phaser solid ink provides
easy loading reliability and better colour accuracy at a low
cost-per-page.
