Accessible advanced features

Advanced features like Covers, Transparency Interleave and N-up give you a variety of output options. And with Build Job, you can easily integrate documents from the document handler and the platen, or from different paper trays—you can even mix simplex and duplex output into a single job. Use Sample Last Segment to review or change the output of your job section by section. There’s no need to rescan the entire job if you make an error; use Sample Set to run a proof set of the entire job to be sure the output exactly matches your requirements before it’s printed.

Bidirectional drivers

The ColorQube 9201/9202/9203 utilizes CentreWare® print drivers to provide an easy, intuitive method of programming jobs and receiving updated system status information. Like the front-panel touch-screen UI, the print drivers are intuitively organized by tabs. The most commonly used features are located on the default tab, with advanced features easily accessible when programming more complex jobs. The print drivers also provide bidirectional information like system status, job status, currently loaded paper sizes, installed options and more.

Advanced functions such as Watermarks, Invert Image, Print-To-Edge, N-up, Booklet Layout, Transparency Interleaving,

and Covers are simple to access from the print drivers and front panel. Easy- to-understand icons access the most commonly used functions, such as paper select and document finishing. Plus with the Saved Settings feature, frequently used print job parameters can be stored for reuse.

How the ColorQube™ 9201/9202/9203 exceeds the IT compatibility

Cutting-edge Internet and security standards meet today’s most demanding office requirements. Redesigned to enhance your IT investment, the ColorQube 9200 series offers the latest innovations that are critical to efficient, forward-thinking IT operations:

•IPv6 support – The advanced controller in the ColorQube 9200 series supports the IPv6 protocol for printing, scanning and device management.

•Web Services on Devices (WSD) – Xerox Web Services technology provides a common framework for describing and sharing information over the Internet, delivering an improved customer experience around connecting, installing, and using Windows-based devices.

•Smart Card authentication –

The ColorQube 9200 series supports Smart Card technology, which protects against unauthorized access. Users can be authenticated using a two-factor identification system—including both card-based identification and a personal identification number entered at the device user interface—to gain access to the walkup features at the device and the network.

•1 GB Ethernet – The new network controller in the ColorQube 9200 series delivers Ethernet connection speeds of up to 1 Gigabit, which triples the speed of standard 10/100/1000 Base T Ethernet connections. This increased performance eliminates network bottlenecks and drastically improves the speed at which jobs reach your ColorQube 9200 series device.

•Xerox Global Print Driver and Xerox Mobile Express Driver – The ColorQube 9200 series supports these two innovative new print drivers that can greatly simplify installing, managing and supporting printers and MFPs on the network, and increase end-user productivity.

6 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.
