On the heels of a major expansion of its office product line, Xerox`s newest digital copiers and multifunction systems have earned "Editor`s Choice" awards from Better Buys for Business, a US-based leading independent research and evaluation guide. This year, Xerox captured top rankings for mid-volume copiers and multifunction devices with its CopyCentre, WorkCentre and WorkCentre Pro systems.
"We evaluate hundreds of models from all major manufacturers, and it`s clear that Xerox offers superior technology solutions for businesses and workgroups of all sizes," said Jonathan Bees, editor-in-chief, Better Buys for Business. "These new models have it all - reasonable prices, excellent technology and impressive productivity. Offices looking for a powerful multifunction systems will not be disappointed."
Better Buys for Business recognised the Xerox CopyCentre C35 and C45 digital copiers along with the WorkCentre M35 and M45 digital copier-printers and WorkCentre Pro 35 and 45 advanced multifunction systems as "best in class" products for 2003. Awards are given to equipment that delivers the highest levels of performance and offers the greatest value for customers in a given price range.
The WorkCentre Pro 35 and 45 are advanced monochrome digital multifunction systems. In addition to working with Windows, they are compatible with Macintosh and Unix systems and have the ability to handle Postscript, PCL and TIFF files. They offer open architecture, advanced networking, and easy integration with software solutions from third-party providers.
The Worcester M35 and M45 offer the essential features of a Xerox multifunction device, such as concurrent scan-while-print, scan-once/print-many technology, and job monitoring at the device and desktop. The CopyCentre C35 and C45 are monochrome digital copiers with a space-saving footprint, ideal for small to mid-sized workgroups and offices.
The six devices all print or copy at 35 or 45 pages per minute and are among 21 new and enhanced systems that Xerox unveiled April 2003.
"These products represent a new era for Xerox and our customers," said Mehmet Seizer, marketing director for Xerox SA. "These systems can meet every budget, satisfy big or small offices, and accomplish both simple and complex jobs."
Better Buys for Business evaluates products from all major manufacturers, as well as researches customer and dealer feedback. The evaluations include a combination of hands-on testing, user surveys and worldwide visits to manufacturing facilities and trade shows.
Earlier this year, Xerox was selected "best in class" for high-volume copiers and multifunction devices. This latest recognition comes in a newly created category for mid-volume systems.
