ROCHESTER, N.Y., Oct. 29, 2009  -- Solidifying its lead in managed print services (MPS), Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) today announced Enterprise Print Services (EPS), the first offering to help companies better manage documents across their global print infrastructure - from the office to the in-house print center to the virtual workplace.

Xerox EPS reduces the cost of printing, sharing and updating everything from a home worker's 50-page proposal to full-color brochures in a marketing department. Extending Xerox's MPS offering to give companies a complete view of worldwide print operations, EPS ensures all document output meets budget targets, security policies, and environmental sustainability objectives.

"By expanding MPS beyond the office walls, organizations have total control over company-wide print spend," said Ken Weilerstein, vice president, research at Gartner, Inc. "This is significant because internal and external print shop costs can often exceed office printing spend, so optimizing across all print environments will uncover even more sources of cost savings."

Xerox makes it easy for companies to identify new opportunities to cut costs and improve efficiency across the entire print network by adding the following capabilities to its MPS portfolio: continue reading...

• Support for home and virtual printing: Employees working from home or remote locations benefit from the same support system offered in the office. Xerox monitors off-site devices and reaches out via phone, e-mail or Web-based support sessions to provide technical assistance. Universal print drivers give mobile workers easy access to print output devices when working in corporate offices.
• Print routing to save money, paper and time: Based on an analysis of employee work habits, Xerox helps companies set up guidelines that direct documents to the most appropriate device, based on specific requirements such as cost, turnaround time and location. For example, when employees go to print, they receive a message such as: "Print to a different printer nearby to save $20."
• Use the in-house print center more effectively: To better manage costs in the production print environment, EPS allows employees to send more complex printing requests to their internal print provider right from the desktop. Employees are presented with choices for binding and stapling and can preview the final document, eliminating the extra steps typically taken to prepare files and deliver them to the print center.

ROCHESTER, N.Y., 29 Oct. 2009 -- Architectural, engineering and construction companies, manufacturing firms and commercial print shops have an affordable new option for their black-and-white technical documents. Xerox Corporation's (NYSE: XRX) Wide Format 6604™ and 6605™ Solutions mark the eighth and ninth wide format products the company has unveiled in the last two years.

The compact new systems integrate 600 x 600 dpi copying, scanning and printing with an easy-to-use interface to ensure crisp, accurate image quality on jobs such as emergency services maps, electrical wiring diagrams or construction plans. An on-board color scanner allows for hard copy documents to be scanned to electronic files or can copy existing prints of varying sizes, including the most common wide-format size drawings, E and A0 documents.

The 6604 and 6605 Solutions can produce up to four and five D or A1 size images per minute, respectively. Users can select a two-roll paper option for greater printing capacity. The 15-inch color touch screen and intuitive user interface make them easy to operate, even for users that don't have familiarity with wide format printers.

"What sets these products apart are the simple graphical user interface, high-quality output and modular approach, which make it easy for customers to add features and capacity as needs change," said Tim Greene, director of wide-format and jetting technologies at InfoTrends, a leading market research and consulting firm in the digital imaging and document solutions industry. continue reading...
