Color Printer
Vivid color, down
to a fine point
Solid ink produces images so lush, so vibrant
you simply have to see it to believe it. With
crisp, clean text, vivid charts and graphics,
and true-to-life photos, it’s the kind of output
that gets your business noticed.
•Solid ink color is truer, more saturated
and remarkably consistent, page after
colorful page.
•New 2400 FinePoint™image enhancement
technology provides the ultimate in print
quality.
•Consistent results on a wide range of
media, including thick cover stocks and
transparencies.
•Automatic color optimization means you get
the colors you expect, every time.
Unbelievable
performance
at a great price
The Phaser 8400 color printer provides the
power and persuasiveness of color at an
unprecedented price. And, like business itself,
it moves fast — single-pass solid ink tech-
nology produces full color at amazing speeds
— a superior alternative to laser printers.
•Full-page color at up to 24 ppm - never keeps
you waiting.
•Just 6 seconds until your first page prints.
•Built around a high-speed 500 MHz PowerPC
processor, with up to 512 MB memory, true
Adobe®PostScript®3™, and an optional hard
drive (20 GB minimum) to deliver maximum
performance in a busy, shared environment.
•Rich, lavish color from a workgroup desktop
color printer. Reduce or eliminate reliance on
costly off-site service bureaus.

Great for every
office user…
Xerox has the art of solid ink print
technology down to a science. Solid ink
technology gives you more for less, with
environmentally friendly consumables and
an ease-of-use no other printer can match.
•The Phaser 8400 printer is as easy to load
as a stapler. Solid ink sticks can be dropped
into their slots anytime and ink levels are
easily visible.
•Compact, no-mess,
solid ink sticks produce
less waste and mini-
mize environmental
impact.
•Out of the box and installed on your network
in four short steps with streamlined auto-
matic installation and walk-up capabilities.
•The Intelligent Ready feature learns and
anticipates your printing habits and work-
load; warms up or enters power-saving
mode accordingly.

Superior design and ease of use
•All your configuration and firmware settings
are saved on a tiny memory card that can be
migrated to any other Phaser 8400 printer.
•Feed almost any kind of media — paper, labels,
transparencies, envelopes and business cards
— from all trays.
•Expand capabilities as your business grows —
networking, additional memory and other
optional features can be added to B, N and
DP configurations.
•Optional two-sided (duplex) printing is
automatic and fast.
•Short paper path contributes to outstanding
speed and reliability.
Use 100-sheet Tray 1 for heavy paper up to
80 lb. cover and 120 lb. index (220 gsm),
business cards, envelopes, transparencies
and more.
Standard 525-sheet Tray 2 feeds up to 28 lb.
bond (122 gsm).
Add one or two 525-sheet high-capacity
paper feeders to boost your capacity to as
much as 1,675 sheets.
