XCL Business Technologies

Another successful Xerox install in the books!

The customer, a busy law firm, came to XCL to find an efficient, high-speed, and secure solution for their
large volume of multi-media customer document printing. Their XCL sales rep paired them up with two
Xerox VersaLink B610 multifunction printers atop 3 additional trays to accommodate the various media
they use, including letterhead, labels, and envelopes.

Placed on top of filing cabinets, the printers with their additional trays were nearly as tall as XCL network
engineer, Ryan, but this is no problem for the B610 due to the adjustable display that can be easily tilted to
accommodate any difference in height!

Clocking in at 65 ppm (prints-per-minute) and a duty cycle of 300,000 images per month, the B610 is
lightning fast and heavy duty for a small multifunction printer. Our favorite feature is the convenient
cloud and mobile print capabilities making work flexible and transitional.

Catch us next time at the next install!

Happy Halloween!
Beware of the toner phoners🧟

Cyber security at home is just as important as in the office!

Cyber attacks on small and medium sized businesses are on the rise and it’s crucial for your business and the customers you serve to build a strong security foundation.

When asked what service offering we recommend to our Xerox customers, it’s always Xerox Partner Print Service (XPPS) - the smartest and most convenient Cost Per Copy all thanks to the software solutions included.

XPPS is not just a CPC, it’s also your printer management database that recognizes each device’s unique usage needs, creates an auto-replenishment system per toner around the machine behavior, and gives you time back in your day with the proactive monitoring.

When we’re asked : Why Xerox
This is just one of many reasons!

Last month the Quocirca 2023 Print Security Market Landscape Report named Xerox as a leader of security in the print industry. Commended for their deepning capabilities across device security, fleet management and content security, Xerox has also made tremendous advancements in certificate, firmware and vulnerability management as well as security monitoring and automated remediation.

Xerox’s multi-layered security approach, based on a set of Zero Trust principles, heightens security measures equally protecting the sensitive data of clients both large and small.

The conversation around AI Technology is heating up right now but AI is not new to the tech world.
Xerox has used AI in their office technology and software systems for years.
It not only improves performance for your office tech but also improves how Xerox performs service FOR you

Remember when Xerox released the first automatic copier in the world?
In 1959, Xerox launched the model 914 and it became one of their most successful models in the company’s history.
One fun fact is that the 914 tended to overhear and catch fire so Xerox provided customers with a ‘scorch eliminator’ aka a small fire extinguisher 🔥

Happy Father’s Day from your friends at XCL!

Remember when Xerox machines looked more like washing machines than copiers?
In 1974, the Xerox 4500 copier was released, all 700 pounds of it!
This was an important technological advancement for Xerox at the time with the 4500’s ability to sort, collate, and complete double-sided printing which resulted in cost-savings for customers. Running Xerox copiers was approximately 5 cents per page, which equals about 40 cents in 2023, so we would agree that Mr. Scrooge absolutely would be pleased with the operational savings!

Join us in remembering 9/11 and supporting the Tunnel to Towers foundation

All who contribute will be entered into XCL's raffle for two tickets to the Mets vs Yankees game this Saturday evening

Tunnel to Towers Saturday marks the 20th anniversary of September 11th, a day that lives on all too vividly especially for those of us in the New York area. We all have been impacted by this tragic day and in memory of those we’ve lost, we are asking you all to consider making a donation to Tunnel to Towers.

Before you say TGIF - have you prepared your office equipment for Hurricane Henri?

1. Back up your data and keep the copy in a safe, dry place.
2. Shut down your computers and printers, and turn off your monitor. Disconnect external hard drivers after back up
3. Unplug the power cords for the devices from the wall outlet or power strip. If there is a power surge or outage, this can damage the power supply for your equipment.
4. If your computers or printers are hardwired, unplug the network cable in order to protect the network cards for these devices
5. Move equipment away from windows or cover with plastic like large garbage bags

Stay safe!

Green Tip🌿

Don't throw out your emtpy supply cartridges!

Xerox diverts millions of pounds of used supplies from the landfill every year through their industry-leading Green World Alliance® supplies take-back program. Choose from a single item return or an EcoBox, an XCL Customer favorite!

EcoBoxes are free, include a pre-paid label and can hold between 5-30 cartridges which makes it ideal for multi-printer or color printer environments! Once the box is full, UPS will pick it up and return to the Xerox recycling center. You can also opt to use your own boxes for an EcoBox return and print out the free UPS return label.
