Xerox comes up with four new Mobile apps

Business apps are gaining traction in the workplace and are just behind games in terms of number of downloads. Xerox is charging forward and reinforcing its leadership in mobile printing with four new business apps helping employees create, share and process information without servers, middle-ware or IT support.

“Smartphones and tablets open up tremendous opportunities to leverage our office technology, enabling people to be productive whether they are on-site or working remotely. We are already recognized as a leader in office software and solutions, and with these business apps we are delivering new ways to drive productivity and agility,” said Jim Rise, Senior Vice President, Office and Solutions Business Group, Xerox.

Android users can download the Xerox Print Service Plug-in for a range of print options including paper and colour selection, finishing features such as stapling and collating, and a PIN code for a secure release. Free on Google Play, the app identifies and configures the device to Xerox multifunction printers (MFPs), ConnectKey-enabled MFPs and office printers.

For Android users in a mixed vendor print environment, the Mopria Alliance offers a universal plug-in that facilitates two-sided printing, paper size and page range. As a founding member of the Alliance, Xerox actively supports developing standards for simple wireless printing.

With the Xerox Mobile Link App, users can create personalized, one-touch workflows on their mobile device to remotely control a Xerox MFP and transmit documents to the cloud, fax, email or other destinations. Once created the workflows are saved as icons in the app allowing for easy, repeatable use.

The Xerox Print Service Plug-in for Android and the Xerox Mobile Link App are available worldwide.
