Xerox Advances Office Strategy With New Hardware, Software At Pc Expo Show
Newest Wave of Offerings Designed for Offices Small to Large, Starts at $549
NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2003 – Building on an expanded line of office products and services announced in April, Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) today launched a new wave of offerings including a high-speed network color laser printer, a powerful desktop monochrome printer, a versatile desktop multifunction device, and enhanced document management software – all aimed at providing more value to more customers.
“We’re delivering on our strategy to bring affordable Xerox products, software, solutions and services to offices of all sizes,” said Ursula Burns, president, Xerox Business Group Operations. “In April, we introduced 21 new and enhanced office products that have advanced our position in the office. Now we’re taking another significant step to further strengthen our position and better serve our customers.”
Xerox will showcase the four additions to its office product line at the PC Expo technology trade show, held this week in New York City.
The Phaser® 6250 color laser printer is targeted for today’s busy medium-to-large workgroups that demand top speed and performance from their printer. Starting at an estimated retail price of $1,999, the 26 page per minute Phaser 6250 is 53 percent faster than the similarly priced HP LaserJet model. It delivers value that can’t be matched including impressive image quality, a 700 MHz processor, powerful Xerox management software, and high paper capacity. The Phaser 6250’s combination of speed, value and image quality makes it easy for customers to choose to upgrade their offices with color. Speed is not sacrificed for quality, as the full 2400 dpi resolution and all three print modes are available at rated speed. The Phaser 6250 is available in five different configurations, giving office workers even more options when deciding which features best fit their needs.
Printing at 25 pages per minute, the Phaser™ 3450 black-and-white laser printer enhances productivity by bringing the capabilities of high-speed printing to individuals and small workgroups. It has 1200 dpi image quality and automatic two-sided printing on two of the three available configurations. The Phaser 3450 starts at an ERP of $549.
The WorkCentre® PE16 is an affordable basic multifunction product for personal use within any size office. It prints and copies in black-and-white at 17 pages per minute at 600 dpi resolution and includes faxing, color scanning and OmniPage SE optical character recognition software. The WorkCentre PE16 comes in a single, all-inclusive configuration with an ERP of $599.
Finally, DocuShare 3.1 – Xerox’s new version of its document and content management software, along with three new software add-on components – makes it easier for enterprise customers to manage information. Office workers can also easily create Web pages, Web logs, to-do lists and other applications to improve collaboration. The entry-level list price for a basic DocuShare system with 10 seats is $4,045 and a 100-seat system is $9,995, with add-on components priced separately.
The Phaser 6250, Phaser 3450 and WorkCentre PE16 are available immediately through the Xerox reseller channel, and the Phaser 6250 and Phaser 3450 will also be available direct from Xerox.
DocuShare 3.1 is available beginning Oct. 15 through Xerox direct sales representatives, agents, Xerox Business Partners and TeleWeb sales channels.
