Xerox WorkCentre leverages Web-based platform for workflow

Johannesburg, 12 Jan 2009

Xerox is accelerating office productivity with an enhanced multifunction system that can leverage software applications to make work easier.

The WorkCentre 7600 series is a range of colour multifunction systems that incorporates the company's Extensible Interface Platform (EIP) and is Xerox's fastest product range.

“EIP is based on Web standards and allows software developers to quickly and easily create applications tailored to address specific business challenges,” says Erica Marks, product manager office systems group at Bytes Document Solutions, a Bytes Technology Group company, wholly owned by Altron, and the authorised distributor of Xerox products and solutions to 24 African countries. “People can access document management software that is personalised to meet their needs from the touchscreen of the device.”

The WorkCentre 7600 series comprises three models with print and copy speeds of up to 40 (7655) and 50 (7665/7675) pages per minute (ppm) in colour and 55/65/75 ppm in black and white. The systems can produce high-end colour prints as well as everyday business documents quickly and cost-effectively. The devices include tools to manage colour costs, improve document workflow and keep documents secure. The series is equipped with Xerox Standard Accounting, free software that enables businesses to track usage, set limits for users and manage costs.

Xerox's MFP security features protect the document, the device and the transmission path, and are available on all new WorkCentre multifunction systems. An encrypted disk and image overwrite feature deletes images from the hard drive automatically on job completion, or on demand.

Other software from Xerox and its partners provides the ability to access common business forms directly from the MFP, print on demand from document repositories, and much more. For example, people can preview newly scanned documents on the MFP's display for accuracy and then store them in Xerox DocuShare, Microsoft SharePoint or Windows folders, without the need for a pre-defined template. The MFP's touchscreen can then be used to browse and print those documents.

The WorkCentre products meet the US Environmental Protection Agency's rigorous new Energy Star requirements.
