For network and device management, Xerox CentreWare Web enables users to perform detailed status checks on the system and consumables, administer system settings, and manage access and accounting controls. Xerox provides device management support for some of the most wide-ranging network environments which include Unicenter TNG, Tivoli Netware, Microsoft Management Console, HP OpenView, and SAP R/3. Xerox’s SMart Kit technology monitors critical device components in order to predict and prevent downtime.

Xerox's advanced MFP security features protect the document, device, and transmission path, and are available on all new WorkCentre MFPs. Encrypted Disk and Image Overwrite features protect latent images recorded on the hard drive, and can be used automatically upon job completion or on demand. The Secure Print and Secure Fax safety measures ensure sensitive information stays private. With systems equipped with network scanning, users can create encrypted and searchable Adobe PDF.
