Color Multifunction Printers

Versatility

How many functions can the device perform? How easy is it to upgrade from basic functions to more advanced functions? Can specific functions be added as requirements grow? Can multiple functions be performed simultaneously?

How the ColorQube™ 9201/9202/9203 exceeds the versatility requirement:

Scanning features

Use your ColorQube 9201/9202/9203 multifunction printer to move, manage, manipulate, capture, repurpose and distribute your documents via email, Internet fax, embedded fax, network server fax or network scanning. Choose the file format (PDF, JPEG, TIFF) and compression (MRC, JBIG2) that works best for you with Xerox optional document distribution services:

•Network Scanning offers a whole new set of choices. This versatile solution lets you send hard copy documents to a wide range of destinations, where they can be integrated into existing networks and client applications,

or into customized image capture and workflow management solutions provided by Xerox or by Xerox Business Partners.

–Scan to Applications/Network File Server makes large volumes of hard copy available to anyone on your network.

–Scan to Searchable PDF makes scanned content available to search engines.

–Scan to Mailbox stores scanned images on the device’s hard drive, for retrieval via web browser.

–Scan to Repository/Digital Archive moves documents into electronic filing systems for easy access.

–Scan to Home sends scanned images directly to a user’s personal directory, such as “My Computer,” using the authenticated user’s credentials to gain access.

–Scan to Email/Distribution List includes LDAP functionality, for integration with corporate email directories.

–Scan to Electronic Document Management System makes sure your documents are secure and easy to access.

–Optional Scan to PC Desktop® software sends hard copy directly to a PC desktop where it can be easily moved into word processing applications, spreadsheets and databases for editing, distribution and storage.

–Optional Xerox SMARTsend® software makes routing and distributing scanned files easy.

Fax features

•Network Server Fax gives you an integrated solution that maximizes your network fax investment. It’s as easy as walk-up copying. Maintain central management and control of your fax server while providing versatile walk-up fax input and output options at your ColorQube device, including two- sided scanning and printing, stapling and even secure printing of your fax documents. There is no need for a separate telephone line, and there are fewer devices and supplies to maintain. Visit the Xerox Partner web site for a complete listing of Xerox validated network server fax providers.

•Internet Fax to any remote internet fax terminal, including another ColorQube device. Internet Fax takes advantage of your existing network and integrates easily with your email server, eliminating costly long-distance charges. You can receive and print documents sent from any compliant Internet Fax device or email client, allowing more effective use of assets and reducing the number of devices on your network.

12 Xerox ColorQube 9201/9202/9203 Evaluator Guide

9202, 9201, 9203 specifications

The Xerox 9201, 9202, and 9203 copiers, introduced during the late 1970s and early 1980s, represent a significant leap in office automation technology. These models were part of Xerox's innovative line of copiers, catering to various business needs through their unique features and capabilities.

One of the cornerstone technologies behind the Xerox 9200 series is xerography, a process developed by Chester Carlson in the 1930s. The photocopiers use a dry electrophotographic process, which relies on a photosensitive drum, enabling high-quality and high-speed copying. This technology championed the transition from traditional printing methods to more efficient office practices, revolutionizing how documents were reproduced.

The Xerox 9201 was known for its robust capability to handle a significant volume of copies, appealing primarily to mid-sized organizations. It boasted an impressive speed of up to 80 copies per minute, catering to high-demand settings without compromising the quality of output.

The Xerox 9202 was an enhancement over its predecessor, introducing more advanced features such as automatic document feeding, which significantly reduced manual handling and increased productivity. It also supported various paper sizes, making it versatile for different tasks, from simple memos to full-size reports. Additional capabilities included collating, sorting, and stapling, allowing users to complete comprehensive document preparation in a single pass.

The Xerox 9203 further built upon these advancements, offering even faster copying speeds of up to 100 copies per minute. It also allowed for electronic sorting and featured an integrated mail room solution ideal for larger organizations. The 9203’s user interface was designed for ease of use, paving the way for accessible technology in the workplace.

All three models leveraged advanced optics and imaging technology to ensure sharp, clear reproductions. The capacity for duplex printing was a notable feature, enabling users to print on both sides of the paper, which not only saved resources but also contributed to environmentally friendly practices.

Overall, the Xerox 9200 series exemplified the transition towards multifunctional copiers that incorporated advanced features for efficiency, quality, and ease of use in office environments. Their impact on the industry helped shape modern photocopying, setting the benchmark for future models through their blend of technology and practicality. These machines remain a testament to Xerox's legacy in imaging technology and office automation.
