Xerox DocuMate 3115 Receives PC Magazine Editors’ Choice Award and “Highly Recommended” Rating from BLI

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2011-06-14 18:30

PLEASANTON, Calif. -- Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) today announced the XeroxDocuMate® 3115 is the recipient of two awards from PCMag.com and Buyer’s Laboratory, Inc. (BLI).

According to the PCMag.com review, published on May 4, 2011, “the DocuMate 3115 is easy to recommend as Editors' Choice. It offers a combination of hardware and software that leaves some more expensive personal desktop scanners in the dust. And that's even before you add in any extra points you might give it if you want to take advantage of its portability even occasionally.”

PCMag.com also scored the DocuMate 3115 high on OCR accuracy and the editor emphasized that it recognized fonts at 10 point without a mistake. “It even did well as a business-card scanner, recognizing and parsing the data from more than half the cards in our test set without a mistake, and making only one or two mistakes each on all but one of the rest.”

Xerox DocuMate 3115 Dials Up the Ease of Use
Winner of an “Outstanding Achievement” award for “Outstanding Control Panel Design,” the BLI review noted that the Xerox DocuMate 3115 “offers users the ability to choose from up to six one-touch scan profiles by turning a dial on the control panel to the desired number. Most others tested either offer a generic Scan hard key, or nothing at all, forcing users to make selections from the driver. Eliminating that extra step provides DocuMate 3115 users with more flexibility.”

TOKYO, June 6, 2011 - As its flagship color printer for office use, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. will launch an A3 LED printer DocuPrint C5000 d on June 27, 2011.

With its print speed of 50 pages per minute for color (Note 1) and 55 pages per minute for monochrome (Note 1), the DocuPrint C5000 d serves a broad range of printing needs including high volume printing, output from a mission-critical system, as well as in-house printing of catalogs and sales promotion materials. Introducing advanced eco technology, the new printer has achieved the top (Note 2) energy saving performance in its class contributing to the reduction of CO2 emissions, while improving office productivity.

Top energy saving performance to help reduce office energy consumption
The DocuPrint C5000 d is the first model in Fuji Xerox DocuPrint series to introduce the IH fusing technology in its fuser, which requires less pre-heat time compared to the previous model (Note 3), and achieved a fast warm-up time of less than 17 seconds and less than 15-second warm-up time from sleep mode. It has also adopted the energy-saving EA-Eco Toner (Note 4) with a lower fusing temperature than the conventional EA toners (Note 5), contributing to reduced energy consumption during the fusing process. Incorporating these energy-saving technologies, the DocuPrint C5000 d achieved 2.77 kilowatts per hour for the Typical Electricity Consumption (TEC) (Note 6), a compliance standard with the International ENERGY STAR Program, 67 percent less than the previous modelNote3. It also achieved less than 1.5-watt power consumption in sleep mode, 81 percent down from the previous modelNote3.

TOKYO, May 31, 2011 - To strengthen its lineup of monochrome printers, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. will release a new A4 monochrome laser printer DocuPrint P300 d on June 15, 2011.

Compact, high speed and high image quality
Within its small body, the DocuPrint P300 d features a high-speed print engine and also outperforms the previous model (Note1) in first print out time; around 8.5 seconds. By delivering high-speed printout in limited space, it meets the demand of reception work at medical institutions, government offices and general service providers. Furthermore, the true resolution of 1,200 x 1,200 dots per inch (Note3) enables high-definition printing, making small text and curved lines clear.

HP Puts Data Storage on a Diet, Guarantees Capacity Reduction

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2011-05-10 22:32

HP today announced the HP Get Thin Guarantee Program,(1) which enables clients to reduce storage capacity requirements by 50 percent or more when they replace legacy equipment with HP 3PAR Utility Storage.

Part of the HP Converged Infrastructure portfolio, HP 3PAR Storage Systems offer a silicon-based thin processing mechanism as part of the system’s highly specialized hardware design. When combined with HP 3PAR Thin Conversion Software, this mechanism drives the rapid “thinning” of storage volumes by identifying and removing unused pockets of disk capacity.

As a result, traditional storage volumes are reduced by 50 percent or more and converted into thin provisioned volumes on the HP 3PAR array. This enables clients to reduce storage footprint and power consumption while also cutting storage administration time by as much as 90 percent.(2)

As part of the guarantee, any participants in the program who do not realize 50 percent or more reduction in storage capacity requirements will receive additional disk capacity and related software, as well as support related to the additional disk capacity and software from HP equal to the difference.(1)

Xerox Keeps Every Day Color Costs in Check with Newest Solid Ink Multifunction Printers

ROCHESTER, N.Y. -- The innovative technology inside Xerox Corporation's (NYSE: XRX) first high-speed solid ink multifunction printers (MFPs) gave thousands of businesses around the world a hassle-free, low-cost way to print in color every day. Three new MFPs built on the award-winning ColorQube® platform save customers money with faster print speeds and simple-to-use features that make work easier.

Companies can cut color print costs in half with the Hybrid Color Pricing Plans available on the Xerox ColorQube 9300 Series – paying only for the amount of color on a given page. This is an important differentiation when using just a little bit of color, such as a company logo on letterhead.

“The Xerox ColorQube 9200 Series broke new ground in office color printing by turning the cost equation on its head.  It gave companies an affordable way to use color every day – something they have requested for years,” said Robert Palmer, director, InfoTrends Digital Peripherals Consulting Service.  “The new Xerox ColorQube MFPs deliver the cost savings businesses have come to expect from solid ink technology.”
