8400DP, 8400DX, 8400B, 8400N specifications

The Xerox 8400 series consists of a series of color laser printers designed to cater to various office needs with a focus on high-quality printing, efficiency, and versatility. The models in this series include the Xerox 8400B, 8400DP, 8400N, and 8400DX, each offering unique features that make them suitable for different organizational requirements.

The Xerox 8400B is primarily known for its robust performance and is designed for reliable printing in moderate to high-volume environments. It boasts a maximum print resolution of 1200 x 1200 dpi, ensuring sharp text and vibrant color output. Its fast print speeds, reaching up to 20 pages per minute in both color and monochrome, make it an ideal choice for busy work settings.

The Xerox 8400DP includes additional functionality with its duplex printing capability, allowing users to print on both sides of a page automatically. This feature not only helps save on paper costs but also appeals to environmentally conscious organizations. The 8400DP maintains the same print resolution as the 8400B while offering similar efficiency in terms of speed and reliability.

The Xerox 8400N expands on the series' networking capabilities, featuring built-in Ethernet connectivity. This allows multiple users within a network to access the printer seamlessly. The model supports a range of operating systems, making it adaptable to diverse IT environments. Its impressive monthly duty cycle ensures continuous operation, meeting the demands of busy offices.

The Xerox 8400DX takes the series a step further by enhancing memory and processing power, allowing for quicker print jobs and handling larger print tasks with ease. It includes additional functions such as advanced finishing options, enabling users to produce professional-quality documents in-house. The 8400DX also introduces enhanced security features, providing organizations with more control over their sensitive print jobs.

All models in the 8400 series utilize Xerox's proprietary solid ink technology, which not only delivers vibrant color but also reduces waste by minimizing packaging materials. This innovative technology contributes to environmental sustainability, aligning with the growing emphasis on eco-friendly printing practices in modern businesses.

In summary, the Xerox 8400 series, comprising the 8400B, 8400DP, 8400N, and 8400DX, presents a robust, high-quality printing solution tailored to different office requirements. With features such as duplex printing, networking capabilities, and solid ink technology, these models exemplify Xerox's commitment to reliability, efficiency, and environmental responsibility in the printing industry.
