PHASER 7400 EVALUATOR GUIDE

SECTION 1

Product Overview

The Xerox Phaser®7400 Color Laser Printer combines superior speed with great value and

flexibility to set a new standard for business color and monochrome printing capability.

Superior Speed

The Phaser 7400 color printer is one of the fastest in its class, with color print speed up to

36 ppm and black & white print speed up to 40 ppm. But speed is more than a fast print

engine. 256 MB of standard memory allows the Phaser 7400 to RIP and pipeline multiple jobs

without creating a bottleneck. Workgroup efficiency is further enhanced with a first page out

time as fast as 12 seconds in color and 11 seconds in black and white. The 800MHz processor

provides fast RIP processing for all standard office applications. True Adobe®Postscript®3™and

a strong image processor provide excellent system throughput. And finally, Intelligent Features

like automatic tray selection, automatic tray switching and an automatic thickness sensor

assure that the job is done right the first time – avoiding costly delays and reprints.

Outstanding Value

The Phaser 7400 color printer is our most feature packed tabloid color printer ever, offered

at the lowest price ever. The low purchase price combined with low cost per page makes

the Phaser 7400 an attractive alternative to a high-end black and white only printer, or to a

low-end color copier. And by bringing print jobs in-house you can save more than enough

to pay for the printer. That’s economics that really add up.

Versatility

The Phaser 7400 color printer extends tabloid color printing in the office to new levels.

All trays handle media sizes from 4 x 6 inches up to 12 x 18 inches. Tray 1 can even print

banners up to 12 x 48 inches. And all trays can take media up to 80 lb Cover (216 gsm)

and Tray 1 up to 100 lb. Cover (270 gsm). And the 7400DXF boasts a total capacity of 3000-

sheets, from 6 different trays, for maximum flexibility and uninterrupted printing.

High volume applications will appreciate the finishing features available

with the Phaser 7400. From job offset, to multiple hole punch and

stapling options, all the way to V-fold booklet printing with saddle

stitch stapling.

And you can be sure that output is correct with the color confidence

provided by the leader in office color printing technologies. (TekColor

SECTION 2

Evaluating Tabloid Color Laser Printers

Tabloid (11 x 17 in.) color printers open up a wide range of possibilities in the office to create

dynamic, attention-grabbing documents. Prints that once were outsourced to a costly service

bureau can now be produced inexpensively, at the touch of a button. But evaluating a tabloid

color printer can be a formidable task.

There are several models on the market boasting numerous features. Based on years of

research and experience with the real-world needs of color printer users, the Xerox Office

Printing Business has identified some key issues for you to consider as you undertake your

own tabloid color printer evaluation.

• Speed

• Value

• Versatility

• Ease of Use

This section of the Evaluator Guide will look at each of these areas, and suggest

ways you can evaluate a printer’s performance against that requirement. Do this for

all printers you are considering and you’ll see how the Phaser 7400 exceeds expec-

tations on all counts.

PHASER 7400 EVALUATOR GUIDE

4PHASER 7400 EVALUATOR GUIDE

HOW THE PHASER 7400 EXCEEDS THE SPEED REQUIREMENT:

High quality color printing cannot come at the expense of productivity — the two must

go together. A color printer must be able to handle a wide variety of documents quickly

and reliably. A color printer must keep up with the performance demands of multiple users

in a shared network environment.

Measure overall performance.

To accurately measure overall performance in a real workgroup environment, send a mix of

black and white and color documents of different length and complexity to the printer over a

standard Ethernet network. This combines the network transmission time, first-page-out time,

and multi-copy engine speed to paint a clear picture of actual overall performance.

Calculate print job throughput.

Print job throughput is the time it takes from clicking the print button on your computer screen

to the final delivery of the color document to the output tray, sometimes called click-to-clunk.

Raw print speed is only a part of the total print time; image-processing speed can be even more

important to maximizing throughput. Test for large multi-page multi-copy jobs such as reports,

proposals and presentations.

Consider color print speed.

Since color printing, rather than black-and-white printing, is the primary use of most color

printers, it makes sense to pay attention to the color print speed. Start with the rated engine

speed, but be sure to investigate the total color and monochrome throughput, including image

processing speed and first page out time.

EVALUATE PRINT SPEED

The Phaser 7400 is the fastest color printer in the office. At 36 ppm it is 33% faster than the HP 5550

in color, and at 40 ppm it is 50% faster in black and white. By combining a 800 MHz image processor

with over 16 years of color printing experience, we have evolved the fastest image processing capabilities

in the industry, giving us a first-page-out time as fast as 12 seconds for letter-size color, and 11 seconds

for black and white.

The resulting productivity means that your print job is finished while competitors are still processing.

And it’s fast enough to replace some copier workload and short run production activities. The Phaser

7400 could even replace multiple printers in the office, both color and black and white.

PHASER 7400 EVALUATOR GUIDE

Starting at just $2,999*, the Phaser 7400 brings professional speed and color capabilities within reach

of every office. Add to that an average monochrome cost-per-print of 1.8 cents** and an average color

cost-per-print of just 9.3 cents**, and you come up with an attractive alternative to a high-end mono-

chrome-only printer or a color copier. The savings from printing medium to large volume color jobs

in-house rather than at a service bureau can pay for the printer over time, even if those types of jobs

are only printed infrequently.

And the Phaser 7400 Color Printer is engineered to require a minimum of user interventions. All of

the user intervention is performed from the front or the top, unlike some printers requiring access to

the rear of the printer to change some consumables or remove jams. Xerox offers high-capacity toner

cartridges that last up to 18,000 prints for color and 15,000 for black (based on 5% coverage). The

toner cartridges are easy to handle and easy to install into keyed slots in the top of the printer. Less

time spent taking care of the printer means more time printing.

* ERP

** based on an average 5% coverage per color

Every dollar spent in today’s business environment has to be justified. So when you are

considering adding or replacing an office resource you must consider the cost of acquisition.

Consider not only the base price, but also the feature set included in that price. What additional

features might you need and what is the additional cost? Look also at supplies capacities,

which will tell you something about the number of unproductive user interventions to expect.

Operating costs over the life of the printer can often exceed the initial purchase price.

Consider the cost-per-print compared to alternatives such as a service bureau.

EVALUATE VALUE

HOW THE PHASER 7400 EXCEEDS THE VALUE REQUIREMENT:

6PHASER 7400 EVALUATOR GUIDE

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.

EVALUATE VERSATILITY

HOW THE PHASER 7400 EXCEEDS THE VERSATILITY REQUIREMENT:

PHASER 7400 EVALUATOR GUIDE

Consumables

The Phaser 7400 provides easy access to all consumables

directly from the front or top of the printer. Individual toners and

imaging units ensure that you only replace items as necessary.

Some manufacturers combine components, like toners with

imaging units, in the name of convenience but you end up

throwing out still-good parts just because one is used up.

And consumable status can be viewed directly on the front

panel or conveniently from your PC.

The best way to evaluate a printer’s ease of use is to use it in a real environment over an

extended period of time. But even without that opportunity, the following questions can help

uncover a printer’s true start-up and day-to-day productivity potential:

• How many consumables are there and how difficult is it to replace them?

• Can you easily reach all areas of a printer? Some printers require you access

the rear of the printer to replace a consumable.

• Is it easy to check the consumable status before committing to a large or important

print job?

Also, consider what tools are provided to help manage multiple printers in a network.

• How easy is it to install on a network?

• How easy is it to learn to use and manage?

• Does it offer easy control both over the network and from its front panel?

Installation

The Phaser 7400 Color Printer’s Driver Installation process is designed to

provide an easy and consistent installation process from all software sources,

regardless of platform. Features include:

•Automatic discovery of the printer on your network

•Automatic port creation

•Automatic printer model and feature detection

•Automatic driver installation

•Automatic IP address assignment

Install from the Web technology is used for the distribution of software

from any of the following sources:

•Product CD

•The printer itself

•CentreWare IS Embedded Web Server

•Xerox Web Site

Step-by-Step (for Windows 9x and 2000 Installation)

The Install Printer Driver link launches the Setup program. Other links

take users to Manuals and Videos, Technical Support, Register Printer,

Color Connection, PowerPoint Design Wizard, and Printer Management

Tools. The installer searches for a printer. It looks on physical ports on the

computer — parallel and USB — as well as on a network (if present) for

TCP/IP printers. If a printer is found on the network (already has an IP

address), it highlights the printer and gives you the option to install this

printer or a different one. A new feature – Subnet Mapping – means that if

a Phaser 7400 has been previously installed on another subnet, it will show

up here as well. If no printer is found, the installer directs you to go to the

printer and choose “Select for Installation” from the front panel menu. By

the time you get back to your computer, the installation is complete. For

larger installations, the IT department can simply send an email to end-users

with a link to the Install from Web feature. Users simply follow the link to

the familiar next-next-next installation wizard and they’re ready to print.
