DON'T TURN OFF THE PRINTER.
The printer features Intelligent Ready
software that tracks when and how the
printer is used. Tracking these patterns
over a rolling three-week period, the
printer automatically places itself in a
standby power-saving mode during
periods of non-use. The printer will
automatically return to its Ready mode,
just prior to an expected use period,
avoiding any warm-up time and
minimising power usage in periods of
non-use.

EASY TO SET UP AND INSTALL
The Phaser 8400 colour printer includes a number of software-based features to boost user
productivity and make the printer easier to install, use and manage. First, unpack and set up
the printer following the simple Setup Poster:
• Load the "Rainbow Pack" of solid ink sticks supplied with the printer.
• Load the paper tray.
• Connect a network or printer cable.
• Turn on the printer. Allow it to warm up; if completely cold this takes about 12 minutes
as the printer melts the ink in the printhead.
• Install the driver software onto your host computers, using the Printer Installer and Utilities
CD-ROM included with the printer, or directly from the optional internal hard drive.
The CD installation experience is also available for download from the Xerox website.

installation process on all computer platforms.

• Automatic port creation
• Automatic printer model and feature detection
• Automatic driver installation
• Automatic IP address assignment
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
installed on another subnet, it will show up here as well.
If multiple printers are found and you don't know which IP address to choose, the
installer directs you to go to the printer and choose "Select for Installation" from the front
panel menu. The installation completes automatically and prints a confirmation page.
For larger installations, the IT department can simply send an email to end-users with
a link to the Driver Installation Package, available from any of the following sources:
• Product CD
• CentreWare IS Embedded Web Server
