I've got an 8400dp with 256mb. I was thinking about going up to 512. On the Xerox website the cost for the 256mb is $1,389.00. I might as well get another printer!
Now here is where I get confused. So I go to non-Xerox websites to check on memory. I'm simply searching for memory for the printer by model to avoid my mistyping the type of memory. Quite a few websites (one of which I've used) have the memory for approx $90.
I understand that this is not made by Xerox. I can accept proprietary product being more costly. I am used to ink being more expensive. I've bought memory like this for other hardware with no problems in the past. What am I missing here? $1,389.00 versus $90.00???
Xerox did let me know that there would be no warranty issues. After all, if I had a problem, I would just remove it.
Do you all think this is odd? Am I missing something really critical here? Have you had any problems with 3rd party memory? Is this just a bad idea for this printer?
Thanks.
Nick
