Xerox Productivity Kit for Phaser 7100 – 40GB Hard Drive Upgrade

The Xerox Productivity Kit for the Phaser 7100 delivers a powerful upgrade path for color laser printing by adding a dedicated 40GB hard drive. Designed to optimize performance in demanding office environments, this kit reduces wait times on large print runs, improves data handling for complex color jobs, and provides added storage for fonts, templates, and job resources. With the Phaser 7100’s reputation for sharp color output and reliable performance, pairing it with the Productivity Kit unlocks faster processing, smoother job queues, and a more efficient print workflow. Whether you’re operating a busy office, a design studio, or a small business with frequent color print jobs, this upgrade helps you manage heavy workloads with less latency and more consistent results. The kit is engineered for straightforward installation and comes with documentation to help IT teams and end users maximize the Phaser 7100’s capabilities.

• The 40GB hard drive upgrade is designed to accelerate print processing on the Phaser 7100, reducing bottlenecks during high-volume color printing and enabling quicker rendering of complex documents. This storage boost supports larger job spooling and can free up the host computer to focus on other tasks, improving overall office productivity and workflow efficiency.
• With expanded on-board storage for fonts, templates, and custom macros, you gain faster access to your frequently used resources. This means you can print branded materials, legal documents, and marketing collateral with consistent typography and layouts, all without repeatedly transferring assets from network servers or local PCs.
• Installation is designed to be straightforward, minimizing downtime in busy offices. The Productivity Kit includes clear instructions and all necessary components to integrate the 40GB drive into the Phaser 7100, helping IT staff or knowledgeable users perform a seamless upgrade with minimal disruption to daily printing operations.
• Enhance reliability for busy workgroups by offloading processing tasks to the internal drive, reducing the load on the printer’s processor and memory. This leads to more predictable print times, fewer job retries, and improved queue management for large color print jobs, making it easier to plan and meet deadlines.
• Ideal for offices that demand fast, high-quality color output and consistent performance under load. The Productivity Kit complements the Phaser 7100’s capabilities, enabling improved throughput for marketing materials, reports, and client deliverables while helping manage long print runs with fewer interruptions.
