Pick this if...
- You run a department or central reprographics group of 75-200 people that needs an 80-ppm A3 mono MFP for high-volume print, copy, scan, and optional fax.
- You print 18,000-40,000 pages a month — the 8000 is rated for ~300,000 but lives best in this range.
- You scan multi-page originals up to 11x17 daily through the 100-sheet ARDF.
- You need 4,300-sheet standard capacity (3,100 tandem + 2x550 + 100 bypass) and want headroom to 8,300 with the LCT.
- You want true 1200 x 1200 dpi mono output for clean small text and crisp graphics at production speed.
