Xerox launches new printer range

May 27, 2016

The new series has the ability to translate into 38 languages.

The OEM has developed Easy Translator Service in partnership with Abbyy who are a document recognition and linguistic software developer, reported IT WEB. The cloud translation services are accessible using any ConnectKey 2.0 enabled device as well as via the Web portal. The technology is “built into the 14 Xerox ConnectKey-enabled i-Series range of MFPs” and can be connected to “mobile devices via iOS and Android as well as desktops”.

Erica Marks, marketing manager of Xerox products at Bytes Document Solutions, said “From a productivity point of view, the translation service can add value to the company as this functionality allows translation to be done on the cloud as opposed to employing services from a translator which can be costly. The documents we’ve tested have been more accurate than other services such as Google Translate. However, it’s important to remember that a draft or general quality translation is provided which then allows the user to determine whether high-quality translation by a person is required”.

Shane Spies, marketing product manager Office Systems Group at Bytes Document Solutions, explains that the “user has to register on the Xerox translator Web site and log in from their MFP”. “The user then selects the translator app icon on the machine, types in their e-mail address and password, and then selects the language of the current document. After that they select the language to be translated into.”

He went on to say, “It takes approximately one minute for a single page to be translated after which it is printed out, e-mailed or saved onto the Xerox portal. If there are images, the translated format of the document doesn’t change; because it’s a cloud service, the device needs constant Internet connection.”

Marks said that “digital trends have an impact on the type of technology integrated into the MFPs”. “Through the adoption of cloud technology, many businesses are now using cloud source repositories, google docs and drop box, hence a lot of MFP applications are now cloud-based and allow users to store documents electronically and open up to other cloud services,”
