Xerox eases mobile
printing – again
Xerox has developed five new tools
that make it easier for remote workers
to print from a mobile device or send
documents securely to colleagues or the
cloud. They include:
n
Xerox Mobile Print Cloud v3.0
, featuring
@PrintByXerox, which enables secure mobile
printing to any Xerox ConnectKey-enabled MFP
– just email the document to a dedicated email
address (i.e.
)
and securely release the job at the MFP nearest
to where you’re working;
n
Xerox Mobile Print Solution v3.6
, with
Apple AirPrint integration;
n
Xerox Wireless Print Solutions Adapter,
which adds a wireless connection to any printer
or MFP, effectively retro-fitting mobile printing
capabilities such as Google Cloud Print and
Apple AirPrint;
n
Mobile Link App
, which now supports
Android, as well as iOS devices, and comes with
even more cloud capabilities. For example, a
sales professional can scan or take a photo of
an invoice from a mobile device, email it to their
manager and simultaneously send it to their
DropBox account and the accounts receivable
department’s SharePoint site; and
n
Xerox PrintSafe Software
, an
authentication and pull printing security
solution for most printers and MFPs, including
non-Xerox devices.
Jet Tec recently added HP toners (HPCE264X,
CF031A, CF032A and CF033A) to its expanding
range of remanufactured products.
Canon's free cartridge recycling programme, 25
years old in 2015, has been honored with a Gold
award at the International Green Apple Awards
for Environmental Best Practice 2015. In accepting
the award, Yuichi Kondo, Laser Consumables
Product Manager at Canon Europe, said: “We
are thrilled to be recognised for the contribution
our customers have made towards improving
the resource efficiency and carbon footprint of
our laser toner cartridge manufacturing process
through our recycling programme. In 1990, we
became the first company in the world to establish
a global recycling programme for toner cartridges
and since its launch, we’ve collected and recycled
more than 344,000 tonnes of cartridges globally,
saving over 502,000 tonnes of CO2.”

Wincanton wins gold
A 31.4% reduction in carbon emissions
since 2010 earned Wincanton Records
Management (WRM) a Gold award at
The Mayor of London’s Business Energy
Challenge (BEC). WRM also received a
Courageous Climber award for a 5%
reduction in emissions between 2014 and
2015.
Earlier this year, Wincanton, also part of the
Wincanton Group, was presented with the Freight
Transport Association’s ‘Leader in logistics carbon
reduction’ accolade at the annual Logistics Carbon
Reduction Scheme Awards, in recognition of a
14% reduction in its carbon footprint in the last
five years.
Kyocera on G-Cloud 7
KYOCERA Document Solutions UK has
been awarded a place on two lots within
the Government’s Digital Marketplace
G-Cloud 7 procurement framework –
Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Specialist
Cloud Services.
Inclusion on the framework follows significant
investment by KYOCERA in its Cloud Print Service
(CPS), which outsources the processing, routing
and management of print traffic, taking away the
headache from the IT management team. Unlike
a traditional MPS, CPS includes the hosting of
dedicated virtual print servers, print applications
and document management software on a
bespoke cloud infrastructure.
The G-Cloud framework provides public
sector organisations with a catalogue of certified
suppliers, enabling them to find the right supplier
for their cloud-based IT services without a
lengthy tender process.
Lexmark launches
recycling app
Lexmark is bringing out an iOS/
Android mobile app for its zero landfill/
no incineration cartridge recycling
programme, 25 years old next year (2016).
The mobile app can be used to register for
the Lexmark Cartridge Collection Programme
(LCCP); order a recycling container, including a
smaller, postage paid recycling container (the
Ecobox); and request the collection of a larger
container by scanning its QR code.
Customers who sign up to the LCCP and
agree to return their printer cartridges directly
to Lexmark enjoy discounts on replacement
toner cartridges including Lexmark Corporate
Cartridges, which contain up to 90% reused
components.
