How the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs exceed the ease-of-management requirement

Network Management

The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs seamlessly integrate into virtually any network environment.

Xerox CentreWare Software

Xerox CentreWare Web (CWW) software is a powerful device management solution for IT departments.
