01732 759725 26 WHAT'S NEW Productive hybrid work environments Xerox has announced a collection of new solutions and services designed to accelerate digital transformation, productivity and security in the hybrid workplace, while saving time and reducing IT hassles. The launch of the new Xerox VersaLink C415/B415/C625/B625 and the Xerox VersaLink C620/B620 completes a total refresh of its A4 printers and MFPs. The MFPs use machine learning to recognise common tasks and suggest more efficient processes, eliminating programming steps and saving valuable time. High-capacity scanning quickly turns hardcopy into digital files and initiates digital workflows. The Xerox Intelligent Filer scanning app leverages artificial intelligence to provide automatic categorisation, standardised naming structures and suggest filing locations that enables users to easily find filed documents in the right location with the right name. Xerox Workflow Central platform makes it easy to instantly transform paper and digital documents on any device including PCs, tablets, mobile devices and MFPs automating the most tedious document centric tasks. The update adds three workflows along with an automation tool that reinforces hybrid work practices and security. New capabilities include workflow automation – enabling users to create their own custom workflows to streamline everyday tasks based on conditional formatting that runs in the background when those conditions are met (just like if this, then that). Protect – adds a protective wrapper around shared documents to track, restrict and even allow deletion when forwarded on to others; cloud-based send fax capabilities for hybrid workers and convert to PDF functionality. Xerox MPS now includes cloud-native printer fleet maintenance and supplies management and adds automated driver deployment for any brand of printer. The latest developments are powered by the Xerox Workplace Cloud software platform which eliminates the need for onsite print servers and related costs and provides a zero footprint solution. This cloud-first approach is designed to meet the needs of any client, regardless of size. Fleet security management updates enable detection of suspicious activity for rapid incident response. www.xerox.com Focus On: What’s New A new projection family The new Sharp-branded P721Q 4K UHD projector is part of a completely new projection family consisting of two models. Rooted in NEC’s legacy of quality and projection expertise, the Sharp P601Q and Sharp P721Q leverage DLP technology and offer a brightness of up to 6000 ANSI lumen and 7200 ANSI lumen. Crisp 4K UHD image resolution delivers exceptional image quality, perfect clarity, and detailed information. Requiring zero maintenance over a long 20,000 hour lifespan, the completely sealed optical engine and laser light source means filter and lamp replacement is obsolete. Additionally, users can achieve the finest image alignment through motorised zoom and focus capabilities, complemented by a fully motorised lens shift for precision and clarity. www.sharpnecdisplays.eu Light production models Two new Pro Series MFPs from Sharp are designed to meet the evolving needs of on-demand light production printing. The new models, BP-90C80 and BP-90C70, offer a solution for entry-level light production printing at a reduced cost, with higher printing capabilities, high quality precise printing and improved productivity for heavier weight media. The next generation of printing systems bring together Sharp’s complete edge to edge full bleed printing capabilities with powerful Fiery digital front ends (DFEs), further extending the company’s ecosystem of smart office devices and services to meet the needs of any business. The Fiery Print Servers can be embedded into the BP-90C80 and BP-90C70 or installed externally. By relying on the Fiery Server’s advanced processing and automated job preparation capabilities, the latest additions to the Sharp Pro Series offer advanced control for local and remote Mac and PC clients to edit, submit and preview jobs before printing without sacrificing speed. The new models offer increased productivity across a range of heavier paper weights, with engine speeds operating at 100% efficiency all the way up to 220gsm. The BP-90C70 offers printing at 70/75 ppm colour/BW, with the BP-90C80 operating at 80/80 ppm colour/BW. Additionally, full-bleed booklets and brochures are supported with optional trimming; stapling and hole punching; page insertion, and different folds. A range of paper types are also accounted for, with coated, uncoated and textured stock supported from the input tray through to a choice of finishing systems. Both models feature Sharp’s largest 15.4” integrated colour touchscreen with multi-touch finger swipe control supported. An updated status screen allows for advanced job queue visibility. Fiery’s embedded controller simplifies job programming with easy-to-master colour tools. To support today’s interconnected workforce, the models can be integrated into Microsoft Teams or Gmail through a native connector, meaning employees can easily print from and scan documents to their email, Teams channels and folders. www.sharp.co.uk
