Xerox® Secure Print Your Piece of Mind for Confidential Documents
Xerox has the answer
Use the Xerox® Secure Print feature. If you don’t want your confidential or private documents to be left in the output tray, open for viewing, or even taken by someone else, Secure Print allows you to control the print timing of your documents. You can now optimize your print solution by using a workgroup device to print all your documents, without worrying about security!
Here’s an example:
You need to print your company’s product roadmap or an employee’s development plan. In the past, you may have used a personal printer to print these types of files. With Secure Print, the workgroup printer becomes your own personal printer! Print the file, and in the print Properties section, select Secure Print from the menu (this varies from device to device: see your user manual for exact instructions). Select a passcode of your choice and send the job to be printed. The job is held in the job list until you release it. At the device control panel, type in your passcode and the document prints. You control when the print takes place! Best of all, if multiple jobs are held using the same passcode, they are all released for printing at once – making it easy and quick for you to collect your jobs.

Expanding the MFP Ecosystem with Xerox’s Extensible Interface Platform (EIP)
Introduction
This white paper has been prepared on behalf of Xerox Corporation by Bissett Communications, publisher of The MFP Report newsletter. It updates a previous white paper (From Peripheral to Platform: MFP Software Development Tools and Xerox’s Extensible Interface Platform) released in October 2006, when Xerox announced its Extensible Interface Platform. EIP is a Web services application development environment that enables software developers to create server-based applications that seamlessly interact with Xerox multifunction printers (MFPs) in the office via the device control panel.
Significant changes have occurred since EIP debuted, thus warranting an updated assessment. The market for MFP software tools has expanded dramatically with regard to the number of participating MFP manufacturers, the scope and level of interest among independent software vendors (ISVs), the evolution of the software tools and partnering programs, and the receptivity of businesses and sales channels to MFP-related software. At the same time, Xerox has gained substantial experience with EIP and has implemented many aspects of its partnering program that were planned but not yet implemented in 2006. This updated and expanded white paper is divided into six sections:
The first section describes the relevance of MFP software platforms such as EIP from the perspective of MFP customers, software developers, MFP sales channels, and MFP vendors.
The second section provides a historical overview of the MFP solutions market, highlighting the convergence between document management and MFP-based document capture as a backdrop for the development of today’s MFP software platforms.
The third section considers MFP software development platforms in greater depth, including the relative merits of the two main technical approaches. Also assessed are key business considerations regarding the way vendors bring their tools to market.
The fourth section provides a more detailed assessment of Xerox’s EIP, including its origins, development, components, capabilities and device dependency. Also included is a comparison of EIP to competing MFP software
application platforms.
The fifth section focuses on Xerox’s EIP business strategy, including its partner program and go-to-market activities, and compares Xerox approach to that of key competitors.
The sixth section concludes with an overall assessment of EIP, pointing to the continuing opportunities and challenges Xerox faces in the MFP solutions marketplace.

New Xerox Color 800/1000 Presses Attract Industry Attention: Image Quality and Speed Driving Install
ROCHESTER, N.Y., July 20, 2010 – Xerox Corporation’s (NYSE: XRX) new Color 800/1000 Presses have made a great first impression as printers around the world install the devices to produce vivid images on a wide range of paper stocks.
The systems, printing 80 and 100 pages per minute respectively, are ideal for print service providers looking to expand their digital businesses to produce sophisticated, full-color applications including sales collateral and direct-marketing pieces.
“This is the first time that the ability to add a special effect, such as this clear coating, has been made available through a fifth imaging station in a Xerox production color product,” said Jim Hamilton, group director, InfoTrends’ Production Hardware Consulting Services. “I am sure customers will be able to use it to great advantage as they create and sell value-added content that goes beyond the four process colors.”
Recent installations of the Xerox Color 800/1000 Presses include:
- James River Press, together with Mailing Services Inc., will use the Xerox Color 800 Press to offer high-end variable-data print jobs to a broad spectrum of clients and prospects. The two companies, located in Richmond, Va., are producing a 5,000 piece three-part mailer with seven different versions and personalized imaging on both sides.
“All of this will be done in one pass on the Xerox Color 800,” said Easley Johnson, vice president, Sales and Marketing, James River Press. “There will be tremendous savings in time and costs running a job like this on the 800 versus offset.” - The official printer of the Denver Broncos, Publication Printers, purchased the Xerox Color 1000 Press to broaden its digital printing capabilities. The full-service print company will use the press and its clear dry ink feature to enhance short-run color applications, variable-data print jobs and proofing web press applications.
