Printing and digital imaging specialist Xerox announced the release
of its WorkCentre 5300 Series black-and-white multifunction printers,
which are designed to help small to medium-size businesses and
enterprise users simplify everyday work processes. The three new
additions to Xerox’s tabloid-size MFP portfolio, the WorkCentre
5325/5330/5335, print speeds of up to 35 pages per minute.
Other key features include color scanning and a front-panel USB port
to convert hard copy documents into digital files for routing and
archiving, Fax Forward to Email that automatically sends incoming faxes
from the device directly to user’s computer email in-box, the ability
to copy, print, scan, fax and route files while other print jobs are
running and security features, such as Secure Print, which requires
users to input a personal identification number for secure document
retrieval, and Image Overwrite, which electronically “shreds”
information stored on the printer’s optional hard drive.
The printers also offer green options, which reduce printing power
consumption through Xerox’s EA Toner and an LED scanner, along with a
standard two-sided copying and printing feature. Starting with a list
price of $6,100, the WorkCentre 5300 Series replaces the WorkCentre
5225/5230 in Xerox’s black-and-white MFP portfolio.
In addition, Xerox announced Global Imaging Systems, a Xerox
company, has acquired Xerographic Solutions, Inc., a Rochester,
N.Y.-based Xerox sales agent/dealer. Xerographic Solutions provides
managed print and network services. Established in 1991 by former Xerox
sales manager Mark Perlo, Xerographic Solutions, Inc., serves customers
in Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo, Batavia, Olean and Jamestown in N.Y.,
as well as in Erie and Bradford in Pa.
The acquisition furthers Global Imaging’s strategy of creating a
nationwide network of locally-based providers focused on improving
document management and office efficiency for SMBs. Earlier this month,
Global Imaging Systems acquired Miller Technology Solutions, Inc., of
Chesapeake, Va., and previously announced acquisitions in Iowa,
Illinois and Florida.
Xerographic Solutions will become part of Eastern Copy Products, a
Global Imaging Systems company, headquartered in Syracuse, N.Y. Perlo
will remain with the company as a general manager and senior vice
president.“This acquisition combines Xerographic Solutions’ strengths
in managed print services, with Eastern Copy Products’ leadership in
innovative office solutions,” said Tom Salierno, Jr., executive vice
president of corporate operations for Global Imaging Systems.
