Power Safety Precautions
W
Power Source
For 115 VAC printers, do not apply more than 135 volts RMS between the supply
conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. For 230 VAC printers, do
not apply more than 254 volts RMS between the supply conductors or between either
supply conductor and ground. Use only the specified power cord and connector. This
manual assumes that the reader is a qualified service technician.
Plug the three-wire power cord (with grounding prong) into a grounded AC outlet
only. If necessary, contact a licensed electrician to install a properly grounded outlet.
If the product loses its ground connection, contact with conductive parts may cause an
electrical shock. A protective ground connection by way of the grounding conductor
in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
Disconnecting Power
arning
Turning the power off using the power switch does not completely de-energize
the printer. You must also disconnect the power cord from the printer’s AC inlet.
Disconnect the power cord by pulling the plug, not the cord.
Disconnect the power cord in the following cases:
■if the power cord or plug is frayed or otherwise damaged,
■if any liquid or foreign material is spilled into the product,
■if the printer is exposed to any excess moisture,
■if the printer is dropped or damaged,
■if you suspect that the product needs servicing or repair,
■whenever you clean the product.
Phaser 7400 Color Printer Options Service Manualv
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions
Some semiconductor components, and the respective sub-assemblies that contain
them, are vulnerable to damage by Electrostatic discharge (ESD). These components
include Integrated Circuits (ICs), Large-Scale Integrated circuits (LSIs), field-effect
transistors and other semiconductor chip components. The following techniques will
reduce the occurrence of component damage caused by static electricity.
Be sure the power is off to the chassis or circuit board, and observe all other safety
precautions.
■Immediately before handling any semiconductor components assemblies, drain
the electrostatic charge from your body. This can be accomplished by touching an
earth ground source or by wearing a wrist strap device connected to an earth
ground source. Wearing a wrist strap will also prevent accumulation of additional
bodily static charges. Be sure to remove the wrist strap before applying power to
the unit under test to avoid potential shock.
■After removing a static sensitive assembly from its anti-static bag, place it on a
grounded conductive surface. If the anti-static bag is conductive, you may ground
the bag and use it as a conductive surface.
■Do not use freon-propelled chemicals. These can generate electrical charges
sufficient to damage some devices.
■Do not remove a replacement component or electrical sub-assembly from its
protective package until you are ready to install it.
■Immediately before removing the protective material from the leads of a
replacement device, touch the protective material to the chassis or circuit
assembly into which the device will be installed.
■Minimize body motions when handling unpacked replacement devices. Motion
such as your clothes brushing together, or lifting a foot from a carpeted floor can
generate enough static electricity to damage an electro-statically sensitive device
■Handle IC’s and EPROM’s carefully to avoid bending pins.
■Pay attention to the direction of parts when mounting or inserting them on
Printed Circuit Boards.

The Xerox Phaser 7400 Color Printer is a single pass, electrophotographic design,
using light emitting diodes (LED) for image exposure. The Phaser 7400 supports
PostScript 3 and PCL5c page description languages. Print performance for A4 paper
is 40 pages per minute (ppm) monochrome, 36 ppm for full color in 1-sided or
2-sided modes. Resolutions of up to 600 x 1200 dots per inch (dpi), 32-level grayscale
print is applicable at 600x600 dpi. The base configuration (Phaser 7400N) features
USB 2.0 and 10/100baseT Ethernet Ports, 256 MB of memory, a 250-sheet multipurpose Tray 1 (MPT), a 550-sheet input tray (Tray 2), a 500-sheet face-down Top
Output Tray, and a 250-sheet face-up Side Output Tray.
Phaser 7400 printer options add memory, paper capacity and functionality. For
configurations not originally equipped, an internal Hard Drive is available for font
storage, storing print files, job collation, proof, personal, and secure print support. A
selection of RAM memory upgrades are available to raise the installed quantity to the
1 GB maximum. A 1650-Sheet High-Capacity Feeder (HCF) is available with three,
550-sheet universal trays. A 550-Sheet Feeder (Tray 3) Lower Tray Assembly (LTA)
is also available. On the output side, a 1000-Sheet Finisher provides punching,
stapling, saddle stitching, and offset stacking, which raises the output total to 1750
sheets. A Duplex Unit is available to add automatic, 2-sided printing for supported
paper sizes from all trays.

■550-Sheet Feeder (LTA)
■1650-Sheet Feeder (HCF)
■Duplex Unit
Finisher
The Finisher increases the output capacity of the printer by 1,000 sheets. Printer
output is directed to the Finisher by way of the side exit. Depending on the job
specifications, as paper enters the Finisher it is punched, stapled, offset and stacked.
The Finisher has two cables; one to hook up to the printer, and another to connect to
the Inverter. The Finisher also includes its own power supply.
The Finisher includes a separate Inverter unit to position paper from the printer before
the paper reaches the finisher unit for final stacking.

Feeder, the 550-Sheet Feeder is installed between the printer and 1650-Sheet Feeder.
Up to four optional 550-Sheet Feeders per printer, totaling six universal trays (Trays
2~6), is allowed. However, when the 1650-Sheet Feeder (HCF) is installed, only one
additional 550-Sheet Feeder is allowed between the HCF and the printer. Electrical
