Simplicity Redefined

Xerox

ConnectKey

Technology is a software

ecosystem that provides the building blocks to
leverage your multifunction printer to simplify
the way work gets done.

Solving today’s complexities.

Documents are the currency of business.
They are the heart of critical workflows and
drive almost every aspect of business. When
a group of IT managers, business managers,
and mobile workers was asked, 70% said
optimizing document flow would help them
respond to market needs more quickly and
62% said it would improve overall revenue*.
Why? Because improved employee productivity
has strategic revenue-generating consequences.
More-productive employees spend more time
on innovation, customer service, winning
new business, and making the business more
competitive.

Imagine an office environment where all
print devices have the same core features and
functionality, thereby dramatically increasing
adoption, and providing a simplified user
training experience with less mistakes and faster
proficiency. The common architecture behind
ConnectKey, features industry-leading security
highlighted by our groundbreaking partnerships
with McAfee

and Cisco

to provide additional

layers of security software and greater visibility
to IT.

ConnectKey enabled solutions reduce waste
and paper consumption, and give you time
back in your day to do your job more effectively.
Plus, compatibility with energy management
solutions such as Cisco EnergyWise and a
mix of innovative features enable reduced
power consumption so you can achieve your
sustainability promises. We have rounded
out this amazing ecosystem by empowering
today’s mobile workforce to conduct business
in ways that work for them, with scalable,
cloud-ready mobile solutions. And we have
simplified customers’ workflows through tools
like ConnectKey for SharePoint

, ConnectKey

How the Xerox

WorkCentre

7970 Exceeds the Productivity

Requirement

Management, Deployment and Remote
Installation

Installing and deploying a fleet of multifunction
printers throughout your organization is a
potentially time-consuming, complicated task.
The process isn’t limited to physically placing
the units in their new environments, but also
includes integrating the devices with the
existing network infrastructure. Also, consider
the process required to deploy printing and
scanning services to your users and how
automated that process can be.

•

Single print driver works with all printers.

The Xerox

Global Print Driver

supports

Xerox

and non-Xerox

devices on the

network. Never have to redeploy another
print driver, saving hours of downtime.

•

Configure once, apply fleet wide.

Xerox

multifunction device configurations can
be cloned and distributed to all similar
multifunction devices on your network,
eliminating the need to configure and
manage each device individually.

•

Installation.

When you choose Xerox, you

can rest assured that your equipment will be
delivered and installed into your environment
to your specifications and expectations. All
network-enabled configurations include an

embedded 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet
connection with innovative features like
auto IP addressing, device naming, and
Ethernet speed sensing to provide simple
and automatic installation on networks.
These features make the WorkCentre 7970
quick and easy to get up and running.
Management and system setup can be
accomplished through a variety of means,
including the easy, wizard-based process
found within Xerox

CentreWare

Web.

Additionally, the WorkCentre 7970 can
integrate with third-party management
applications like Unicentre

TNG, IBM

Tivoli

NetView

, Microsoft

Management

Console, and HP

WebJetAdmin

. Cloning

capability allows fleets of devices to be
installed with identical settings, eliminating
the need to set up each system individually.

•

Deployment.

With the WorkCentre 7970,

print and scan drivers can be deployed
centrally, thereby eliminating the need for
IT staff to perform desk-to-desk manual
installation of the driver software. In many
cases, existing Xerox

drivers on your network

can work with your new hardware, potentially
saving the step of updating your users’
driver software altogether. Again, wizards
are provided within CentreWare Web to aid
in installing, troubleshooting, and upgrading
your users’ driver software, freeing up your IT
staff for more pressing projects.

Section 2: Evaluating Workgroup

Driver is a truly universal print driver that
lets IT administrators install, upgrade and
manage Xerox

and non-Xerox

devices from

a single driver. It provides a consistent, easy-
to-use interface for end-users, reducing the
number of support calls, and simplifying print
services management.

•

Xerox

CentreWare

software.

CentreWare

Web management software is a powerful
device-management solution for IT. The
free software eases the chore of installing,
configuring, managing, monitoring and
pulling reports from the networked printers
and MFPs throughout an enterprise,
regardless of their manufacturer. Xerox also
addresses enterprise asset management
through compatibility with network
management tools for Sun, Novell

Microsoft

and other environments.

The Xerox

WorkCentre

7970 also includes

Xerox

CentreWare

Internet Services, an

embedded web server that allows employees
and IT personnel to perform detailed status
checks on the system and consumables,
administer system settings, and manage access
and accounting controls via any standard web
browser.

•

Bidirectional print drivers.

The WorkCentre

7970 includes Xerox

CentreWare

drivers, which feature clear, graphical user
interfaces that provide for easy, intuitive
interaction with the multifunction printer.
The drivers provide immediate desktop
access to all WorkCentre output functions.
The drivers also provide bidirectional
information, indicating device and job status,
currently loaded paper sizes and types,
and installed options – so there is no need
to consult other software to obtain such
information. Easy-to-understand icons access
the most commonly used functions, such as
paper selection and document finishing. Plus
with the Saved Settings feature, frequently
used print job parameters can be stored for
reuse.

•

Smarter technology.

Xerox

Smart Kit

technology constantly monitors the
WorkCentre 7970 easy-to-change critical
components to predict and prevent
downtime.

•

everyone, especially people who are
wheelchair users, blind or visually impaired,
easily program copy jobs and make copies
using text-to-speech technology, screen
magnification software and easy keyboard
access to copying features using tab, arrow,
function and hot keys.

Reliability

Office productivity relies on tools that do their
jobs day in and day out. Consider how often
you need to intervene to replace paper or other
consumables or to clear jams. How easy is
that intervention, and how long is the device
typically down? If outside assistance is required,
how easy is it to schedule and how long do you
have to wait? Is the device a reliable network
citizen? Has it been tested and certified by
independent industry participants?

•

Simple paper paths and a minimum of
moving parts.

This mean there is very little

that can go wrong. Any paper jams or mis-
feeds that do occur are all accessed from
the front of the machine, making these easy
issues for users to resolve without calling the
IT Help Desk. Most components that wear
out over time can simply be replaced without
a service call. You’re up and running without
delay.

•

Short, straight paper path.

This allows

the WorkCentre 7970 to reliably handle
heavyweight paper – up to 16 lb. bond to
110 lb. cover (55 to 300 gsm) from the
Bypass Tray, and 16 lb. bond to 140 lb. index
(60 to 256 gsm) from Trays 1 through 4.

•

Easy-access Smart Kit customer
replaceable units.

This includes EA Toner

cartridges, Waste Toner containers, Fuser
Modules, Print Drums and staple cartridges.

•

Sophisticated service delivery.

Building

on the reliability that is engineered into the
WorkCentre 7970, Xerox has trained and
developed a service delivery network that
helps you maintain your equipment, address
equipment issues you may encounter and
train you and your users on how to get the
most out of your equipment.

How the WorkCentre 7970 Color

Multifunction Printer Exceeds the

Print Quality Requirement

Color Registration and Accuracy

With an ASIC driver to control the light intensity
of the LEDs in each printhead, HiQ LED offers
better dot-to-dot intensity and timing control,
and produces more precise color registration.
HiQ LED handles mis-registration issues
automatically, simultaneously and continuously,
from LED to LED. In fact, tests show that HiQ
LED technology corrects color mis-registration
even better than comparable laser printers.

Plus, true Adobe

PostScript

™

, PCL

and

XPS give you the power to print visually rich
documents reliably.

Printhead Technology and Image Resolution

The WorkCentre 7970 Color Multifunction
Printer features the Xerox

HiQ LED printhead,

which offers major improvements in image
quality.

The “brain” behind the entire print-head process
is our new application specific integrated circuit
(ASIC) driver chip. This high-performance driver
precisely controls the intensity and timing LEDs

in each printhead to achieve 1200 x 2400 dpi
resolution – print quality that’s equivalent to,
and often better than, comparable laser systems.
By continually and automatically monitoring
information about each LED, the ASIC driver can
adjust each diode’s light intensity and timing.
This ensures uniformity across the entire LED
array – and produces consistently high print
quality without compromising the printer’s high-
speed output. Whether printing spreadsheets,
presentations or customer collaterals, the
WorkCentre 7970 delivers truly impressive results.

Plus, Xerox

EA Ultra Low-Melt Toner –

chemically grown to produce the market’s
smallest, most uniformly shaped particles –
delivers sharper clarity, excellent shadowing
and outstanding fine-line detail.

Unique Color Control

Our “Color By Words,” a powerful-yet-intuitive
color technology, takes the guesswork out of
optimizing your color print jobs. With Color By
Words there is no need to manipulate source
files. Users simply select the desired color
modifications from a drop-down list – such as
“green colors a lot more green” or “red colors
a lot more saturated” – and the image is
automatically adjusted.

Section 2: Evaluating Workgroup

Color Multifunction Printers

Solid Performance. Unprecedented ease of use.

This is what you can consistently

expect from the Xerox

WorkCentre

7970. Xerox delivers advanced print head

technology and color resolution. Your documents will feature outstanding quality color

graphics and images. All within a user-friendly environment that produces the results

you demand.

Color By Words: Unique Color Control

Have you ever wanted to change the color
of one object or area in a printout without
affecting the rest of the page? With the
Color By Words feature there is no need
to go back to square one and manipulate
source files. You simply select the desired
color modifications from a drop-down
list, and Color By Words will adjust your
printout.

Original photo not right? Use the Color
By Words drop-down list and choose
“yellow-green colors a lot more green,”
and “red colors a lot more vivid.”
Picture-perfect results.
