Xerox Corporation: New Xerox Printers and Multifunction Products: Easy
to Use Affordable, Reliable Technology for Small Businesses
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:20052008
NORWALK, Conn -- With the launch of five printers and multifunction
products, Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) makes it easier and more
affordable for small and mid-sized businesses to get more work done on
even the tightest of budgets.
The new offerings range from the $279 Xerox Phaser(TM) 3100MFP
multifunction printer that prints, copies and scans, to the $1,999
Xerox Phaser 5550 laser printer that speeds printing at a rate of up to
50 pages per minute (ppm). For more features, the new Xerox Phaser
3635MFP multifunction printer, starting at $1,799, is a 35 ppm
networked system that includes advanced security options like image
overwriting, encryption and authentication tools.
"The goal in today's competitive business world is to do more while
spending less" said Russell Peacock, president, Xerox Office Group.
"That's a challenge, especially for small and mid-size businesses that
need to invest in order to grow.
Xerox's portfolio of technology gives these businesses an array of
choices to fit the way they work without breaking the bank."
The new Phaser black-and-white printers and MFPs join the company's
growing stable of products designed with the small and mid-sized
business in mind and play critical roles in Xerox's overall SMB
strategy. In addition to a broader product portfolio, Xerox is
expanding its distribution network, making it easier for the SMB market
to benefit from the cost and quality advantages of doing business with
Xerox. The company's most notable channel expansion initiatives include
the acquisition last year of Global Imaging Systems Inc., in the U.S.,
and its planned acquisition of Veenman B.V., the largest office
technology distributor in the Netherlands. In addition to these
distributors, more than 7,000 sales agents and 40,000 technology
resellers sell the Xerox brand around the world.
Reliable, Affordable Built on the award-winning Phaser 5500 platform,
the Phaser 5550 laser printer features automated tools for easy
installation and service. The printer comes with PhaserSMART , an
online troubleshooting tool that helps diagnose and solve potential
printing issues, preventing maintenance calls and increasing its
reliability. Starting at $1,999, the Phaser 5550 produces tabloid-sized
prints up to 50 ppm for both single and double-sided pages.
"The reliability of the Xerox team and Xerox products has played a
significant role in our recovery efforts since Hurricane Katrina,
helping our dispersed employees get the University up and running as
quickly as possible," said Michael Britt, director of administrative
service, Tulane University. "After moving our Phaser 5500 from inches
of water in New Orleans following the hurricane to Houston - and back
again - it still worked like new. In fact, the printer is still in use
today with over 800,000 pages printed."
Xerox combined ease of use, reliability and low-cost, to build the
Phaser 3100MFP, which starts at $279. The system, Xerox's lowest-priced
MFP, makes office work easy with print speeds up to 21 ppm and features
like scan to e-mail, a full keyboard for the fax directory, and Optical
Character Recognition software that converts scanned documents into
text-searchable files.
For the individual user or small workgroup, the Xerox Phaser 3250 laser
printer, starting at $279, is small in size yet rich with features
including automatic two-sided printing and the ability to print up to
30 pages per minute.
Rounding out the product launch, the company also announced the Xerox
Phaser 3600 laser printer. Starting at $549, the Phaser 3600 prints up
to 40 ppm and includes a standard one-year warranty with the option to
extend up to three years - an offering not typically found on this
class of product.
Meeting the needs of workgroups, the Phaser 3600 includes advanced
security features and Xerox's CentreWare Internet Service technology,
making the printer easy to use and maintain.
Recycling The Phaser 3635MFP, Phaser 3100MFP, Phaser 5550, Phaser 3250
and Phaser 3600 are part of Xerox's Green World Alliance. The Xerox
Green World Alliance is a worldwide initiative to encourage customers
large and small to recycle or dispose of supplies in a manner that
minimizes impact to the environment.
This partnership with customers has resulted in more than 2.7 million
cartridges and toner containers being returned in 2006. Xerox processed
1.3 million pounds of post-consumer waste toner for reuse, and the
plastic bottles customers used to return waste toner to Xerox-nearly
100,000 of them-have been recycled.
Availability The Phaser 3635MFP, Phaser 5550, Phaser 3250 and Phaser
3600 are available immediately worldwide through Xerox direct sales,
agents, resellers, dealers, concessionaires, by calling 1-866-480-3119,
or going online at http://www.xerox.com/direct. The Phaser 3100MFP will
be available worldwide in early June.
