Has the time come to expand your office equipment?

That’s usually a great sign for business growth, so congratulations. If you’re adding another printer—or several—to your office, you might be concerned about how difficult or expensive that will be. The good news is that Xerox has made several tools to make that job very easy, even for small businesses without internal IT support teams (or even a single “IT person”).

In today’s post, we’ll be looking at how to synchronize your multifunction printers, copy settings from one to another exactly to save time and resources, and how to use your printers to collaborate with your entire team. Let’s dive in:

The Benefits of Device Synchronization and The Xerox Clone Feature

Setting up one Xerox MFP is easy. It also tends to be an ongoing process, as businesses customize their machines with Xerox ConnectKey apps, security features, one-touch apps, and so on, the MFP becomes a truly customized, unique, and integral part of the office. With all the customizing going on, it must be a headache to set all that up again on another new machine, right? Actually, no—thanks to the Xerox Clone feature.

This feature allows you to clone the settings of a Xerox MFP and send them over to other ConnectKey-enabled devices. File distribution processes, printing pathways, security permissions, and even Wi-Fi settings can all be copied over, requiring minimal IT intervention when setting up the new printer(s). This, as you can imagine, is a huge time saver, especially if your organization utilizes some of the collaborative opportunities available with a Xerox MFP. Let’s explore those now:

Collaborative Opportunities With Your Xerox Multifunction Printer

Your Xerox multifunction printer can do device synchronization in another way: by giving all of your staff access to your files safely and securely no matter what kind of device they’re using—or where they are.

Especially useful for organizations with remote staff or just team members who happen to take the occasional business trip, your Xerox MFP can integrate with your preferred cloud provider, such as DocuShare Flex, Dropbox, Office 365, and many others. Not only does this give you the freedom to print, share, and modify documents on-the-go, but also to collaborate on documents with your colleagues in real time.
