Intuitive User Experience

Secure Release with Microsoft Universal Print. With Secure Release, users are no longer required to release their secure print job with a pin, instead, documents will be stored in the cloud and can be retrieved when authorized walk-up users authenticate with the device. • Single Touch Scanning. Use the Single Touch Scanning feature on the MFPs to create a dedicated, easy-to-locate scan button directly on the color touchscreen interface. Assign the Single Touch Scan button its own scanning workflow for fast document distribution and archiving.

Smart Proximity Sensor. This built-in sensor wakes your AltaLink when a user approaches and puts it back to sleep once the user leaves. This means that it’s always ready for action when you need it and conserves energy when you don’t.

Application Defaults. Adjust settings for specific applications, such as always printing Microsoft® PowerPoint® files 2-up and in black-and-white.

User Permissions. With User Permissions, you can restrict access to print features by user, group, time of day, and application. To limit color printing, you simply select a rule that makes all Microsoft® Outlook® emails automatically print in black-and-white and in duplex mode.

Feature Access Control. This feature allows administrators to control costs by limiting features to certain users and makes it easier for those users to see only the services they use.

Xerox® Embedded Web Server with Search. Built with a responsive design architecture, this allows system administrators to remotely connect to their printer via any standard web browser. Make configuration settings, apply cloned files to the fleet, install print drivers, monitor printer status, view the print job queue, manage settings and properties, search available functions, and deploy troubleshooting and support using the Remote Control Panel tool — all without leavingtheir office.

Rule-based Printing. With this feature, you can apply rules to printing or other actions, such as setting up all Microsoft® Outlook® emails to automatically print in black-and-white and in duplex mode.

Auto-Color Scanning (ACS). This feature allows the device controller to check whether the document is in color or black-and-white and adjust accordingly.

Simplified Setup of Scan to Email. Setting up Scan to Email on the MFPs has been greatly simplified with no need for a detailed understanding of SMTP or email configuration. By pre-programming the most common cloud-based email services, only the end user’s email address and password are required to complete the setup. This simple process works with Gmail, iCloud, Microsoft 365, and Yahoo Cloud email services
