HP LaserJet 4100
Phaser® 8200
The Phaser 8200 offers more value, performance, and COLOR
Experience
Affordability
• With a starting price of only $1,499, the Phaser 8200 is only $400 more for color! This
means you don’t have to buy a separate color printer.
• Xerox/Tektronix has 20 years of color printing experience to deliver fast, reliable printers
with unrivalled color print quality.
• The Phaser 8200 offers a comparable black cost-per-print to monochrome printers at
1.8 cents, and a low 9.2 cents in color.
• The Phaser 8200 is Xerox’s 7th generation solid ink printer and its 10th single pass color
printer.
• The HP 4100 cannot print in color!
• HP has focused on only monochrome and slow, outdated four-pass color printers in its history.
• The Phaser 8200 gives you the best of both worlds – low cost and brilliant color.
Performance
Speed
Ease-of-use
Print Quality
Xerox’s 300 MHz PowerPC processor is more efficient than HP’s
250 MHz processor, thus increasing its print speed especially when
processing large files.
Compared to most monochrome lasers, solid
ink printers have the same number of
consumables.
Solid ink technology maintains superior,
consistent print quality from the first
page to the last on virtually any media.
The Phaser 8200 uses Page Pipelining to increase efficiency (and print
speed) when processing multiple jobs.
The 8200’s consumables are easier to load, and more environmentally
friendly with no toner cartridges to throw away.
Typical office documents are only 1-5 pages in length. The Phaser 8200
has a 9-second first-page-out time in color, the fastest in the industry.
The HP 4100 is slower at 12 seconds only printing in monochrome.
With the new Phaser Installer, network
printer installation is as simple as one click.
Features such as PrintingScout and
PhaserSMART™ identify and help any
user quickly solve printer issues themselves.
The Phaser 8200 also offers consistent dot
color and shape that is unaffected by
paper type, and uniformly round-shaped
dots to optimize
smooth color blends.

spend $400 more to get color and black and white prints with the Phaser 8200.
COLOR PERFORMANCE
First Page Out Time
9 seconds
12 seconds
The typical office document is only 3-5 pages long. With such a quick first page out time, the Phaser 8200
will be done in color in about the same time as the HP 4100 is done in monochrome!
Print Technology
Single-pass Color Solid Ink
Monochrome Laser
Solid ink is the easiest to use technology. Plus, its simple paper path design delivers outstanding
color reliability.
Processor
300 MHz PowerPC
250 MHz
The Phaser 8200’s PowerPC processor is more efficient. Its Pipeline Printing feature also allows the
8200 to process and print multiple files at one time so they’re out of the printer faster.
Hard Drive
10+ GB optional (standard on DX model)
5+ GB optional on all models
A larger hard drive allows the 8200 to perform more tasks at once, such as job pipelining and collation.

Solid ink offers more uniformly round-shaped dots to optimize smooth color blends. The HP 4100 is
monochrome only!

Solid ink is known for its superior, consistent print quality on the widest variety of media. Even more
media flexibility than HP monochrome!

CentreWare is far more feature-rich than HP WebJet Administrator. Xerox is one of the only manufacturers
to offer job accounting built into the printer.
Xerox offers a one-year on-site warranty with the Phaser 8200. HP only provides a time-consuming
return-to-depot option; or add more money to upgrade to what Xerox provides standard! Plus, Xerox offers
the 3-year Total Satisfaction Guarantee.
