Three Xerox colour multifunction systems offer benchmark productivity, image quality

Johannesburg, 22 Jan 2010

Three new colour multifunction systems from Xerox deliver benchmark productivity and image quality in meeting the full range of printing, copying, scanning and faxing needs on today's office networks.

The new Xerox WorkCentre 7755, 7765, and 7775 colour multifunction systems print and copy up to 75 pages per minute (ppm) - 50ppm for colour - and offer leadership ease of use, ease of management, security and cost control features.

“They are ideal workhorse solutions for offices, departments, branches and centralised reproduction departments (CRDs) with mid- to high-volume needs,” says Erica Marks, product manager at the office systems group at Bytes Document Solutions, authorised Xerox distributor to 24 sub-Saharan countries. “Office network users and managers want multifunction systems that are both powerful and easy to use, that offer top quality and productivity and are secure.”

High quality, high productivity

The three new Xerox systems share a number of advanced capabilities to help drive this growth. Their 2400x2400 dots-per-inch image resolution is the benchmark for the segment, and Xerox Emulsion Aggregation High Gloss toner complements the high resolution with a professional finish for outstanding image quality. Advanced colour and workflow management is available with the optional EFI Fiery Network Server, which provides tools for precise colour matching and production workflows that automate page imposition and other tasks.

For optimal efficiency, the machines enable multiple users to simultaneously perform different tasks. Productivity is further enhanced with the Xerox Extensible Interface Platform (EIP). It enables users to program personalised workflow solutions for access from the devices' intuitive touch screen - for example, to automatically scan and e-mail files to a distribution list - and also provides packaged workflows. To limit job interruptions, the systems feature two online black toner cartridges, the capability to load paper while the machine is running, and an automatic print around feature that can prioritise jobs in the queue based upon the availability of their paper types or sizes. Intuitive, bi-directional print drivers enable users to save time by monitoring device activity from their desks. To limit service downtime, many of the systems' consumables are customer replaceable, including toners, drums, fuser, charge corotron and the waste bottle.

The systems share a 3 260-sheet paper capacity that is expandable to 5 260 sheets for long, uninterrupted runs from as many as six trays, including a 250-sheet duplex automatic document feeder, the highest capacity DADF in the segment. Every tray handles heavy media, ranging from 64gsm to 300gsm cover. Half a dozen finishing options range from a simple offset catch tray to advanced systems offering stacking, hole-punching, multi-position stapling, saddle-stitch booklet making, folding and post-process interposing.

All three models offer print, copy, scan and fax features, from page-level print programming and automatic tray switching to optional scanning to various locations and e-mail, and a choice of one or two optional fax lines. This set of controller features is based on the Xerox Discovery Platform and has the same look and feel as that found on the latest range of Xerox monochrome products.

Easy management, easy protection

Network management is made easy with a variety of tools. Xerox CentreWare Web enables information technology administrators to easily install, configure, manage, monitor and report on all network devices, regardless of the manufacturer.

Xerox Standard Accounting manages access and gathers data about printing, scanning, copying and faxing on the new devices. Access to colour printing and copying can be controlled and allocated by user and department to better control costs.

A number of standard and optional security features provide a wide range of user-definable controls to protect the entire workflow, tracking usage and controlling access to the machine and the information they process.
