Mobile and Cloud-ready
- NFC Tap-to-Pair. With Near Field Communications (NFC) Tap-to-Pair, users can simply tap their Android devices to an AltaLink and VersaLink* Printer to establish a direct connection. Once established, printing is handled using a wireless connection if the optional wireless network adapter has been installed. If the adapter is not installed, printing is handled via the Ethernet network. This feature allows for greater security and results in less waste as users are in direct proximity to the device.
- Xerox® Print Service Plug-in for Android™. This unique, full-featured plug-in for Android devices streamlines mobile printing without third-party
apps or additional print drivers. After downloading this free plug-in from the Google Play™ Store, you can easily print photos, web pages, and documents when your mobile device is connected to AltaLink or VersaLink* Printers using a wireless network. Robust printing options include color or black-and-white printing, the number of copies, paper orientation, two-sided printing, stapling, secure print/ secure code release, and more.
- Print from and Scan to Cloud. Users can download Cloud Connector apps, such as Box®, Dropbox™, Microsoft® OneDrive®, and Google Drive™ from the App Gallery, so they can easily print from and scan to the locations they use every day. Or use the native Print From and Scan To1 feature of the printer to directly link to Dropbox®, Google Drive®, and OneDrive®.
- Xerox® Connect App for Xerox® DocuShare® Go. Connect directly and securely to DocuShare® Go accounts. Easily navigate and find documents to print or folders to scan to. Preview files before submitting them for print or scan jobs, avoiding wasted prints or incorrect scans.
Additionally, it supports Single Sign-on authentication when paired with Xerox® Workplace Solutions.
- Single Sign-on. Conveniently authenticate at the printer once with your card badge, mobile device, or PIN code to securely access all SSO-enabled apps or the native Print From and Scan To1 feature on the MFP without any additional login steps.
- Xerox® Quick Link App. This app takes away the headache of finding the right print driver. Simply send an email from the Xerox® Quick Link App at the device’s UI and download the driver from a link. Mobile devices scan the QR code and they are ready to print. It’s that simple.
