Create Your Own MFP User Screens
Users can log into the bizhub MarketPlace (http://www.bizhubmarketplace.com) to access Chameleon. The designer tool is simple to use: customers can easily drag and drop the functions they want displayed onto their touchscreens, minimizing the number of keystrokes and the amount of time needed to perform functions at the MFP. bizhub Marketplace Chameleon also offers the option to add company colors, logos, and/or images to the touchscreen background, providing customers with a new and powerful way to extend their company's corporate culture and ensure corporate consistency throughout the workplace.
Enterprise Management
bizhub MarketPlace Chameleon features include streamlined functionality for efficient management of bizhub MarketPlace apps and devices. From the bizhub MarketPlace website, various departments within an organization can install and manage customized touch screens and bizhub MarketPlace apps onto a fleet of MFPs with a simple click. In addition, bizhub MarketPlace Chameleon give administrators more control over how apps and custom touch screens are displayed on the MFP. Users can choose to display specific apps directly on the Home Screen for easy access, or run a custom touch screen by default when the MFP is first powered on. All of this and more can now be done remotely, from one centralized location. The custom panel designer tool is free for all users who have a bizhub MarketPlace account, and there is no limit to the number of custom panels that can be designed.
