One of the most powerful features of modern Xerox multifunction printers is just how much the feature set itself can be modified, custom-tailored, and otherwise molded to the user’s exact needs.
While technology has and continues to rapidly advance, so often it feels like it’s working against us rather than for us—if you want to have a productive workplace with efficient workflows, this should never be the case. Whenever your office equipment is taking time out of your day rather than saving it, something needs to change.
If you’re ready to experience the Xerox way of doing things, please feel encouraged to request a completely free online quote and one of our expert team members at QDoxs will be in touch to discuss your unique business goals.
Having said that, let’s take a look at how you can shape your multifunction printer into whatever you need it to be:
Extend Your Feature Set With The Xerox App Gallery
The Xerox App Gallery is one of the most powerful ways to extend the functionality of your MFP. The app gallery is practically brimming with apps with thousands of different use cases. Just like other popular app stores, some are free and some are paid, but all apps have to meet a certain standard set by Xerox.
Make sure to check out our post The Best Xerox ConnectKey Apps to Start Using in 2019 where we discuss some of the more popular apps this year. Some of the apps we examined in that blog post were the Salesforce app which offers full integration with your MFP and the Xerox Mobile Link app that allows your staff to control Xerox devices right from their mobile phone, tablet, or laptop.
If you need to do something that doesn’t come “stock” with your Xerox MFP, odds are you can find a solution on the App Gallery. However, your MFP has plenty of customization options all by itself—let’s take a look:
Customize Your Printer Menus & Create One-Touch Apps
Did you know that your Xerox multifunction printer can have its menus and feature lists customized for easier access and quicker task processing?
The apps found on your home screen can be moved, rearranged, and in some cases renamed. Color schemes can be configured for some Xerox devices, and—this is the big one—you can create what are called “One Touch Apps” on most modern AltaLink and VersaLink multifunction printers.
One touch apps can offer a huge boost to productivity if you or your team uses the printer for the same tasks on a regular basis. These are apps that you can essentially build yourself right from the printer’s display. Say for example that you regularly scan a document, print two copies, and email yourself a black and white PDF of that document.
While the user interface on your Xerox device is intuitive and simple to use, that’s still a lot of steps, especially if this is a process you might be doing two or three times per day. A one-touch app allows you to design a workflow to perform whatever set of tasks you like and execute them in a single push.
