Other Xerox Phaser 8400 Advantages
Simple design = simple maintenance
The Phaser 8400’s technology is legendary for its ease of use. Loading ink is as easy as loading a stapler…even a child can do it.
The HP color LaserJet 3700, as you can see in the photo, is a complicated device. Opening its front cover engages dozens of moving plastic parts that could be broken.
Easy-to-use driver
Phaser 8400 printer’s visual graphics interface is easy to navigate and helps get the print right the first time
The HP LaserJet 3700 print driver has the most commonly used selections on different screens, so it is more time-consuming and less intuitive
Faster speed Phaser 8400 HP LaserJet 3700
Monochrome e-mail (1 page) 8.5 seconds 19.7 seconds
Excel spreadsheet (1 page) 8.3 seconds 21 seconds
Real estate PDF (2 pages) 14.1 seconds 26 seconds
PowerPoint presentation on paper (8 pages) 41 seconds 49 seconds
Note: All pages printed in default print mode on letter-size media.
Front display panel eliminates guesswork
Phaser 8400 front display panel is larger and shows more helpful information including animated graphics to aid in maintenance.
HP LaserJet 3700 front panel is smaller, provides less information at-a-glance, and requires more button pushing to find what you need.
Xerox PrintingScout vs. LaserJet 3700’s HP Toolbox Device Status and Alerts
The Phaser 8400’s proactive PrintingScout provides instant, detailed, on-screen alerts with instuctions on how to fix the problems.
