The devices can detect when someone is in the room from their heart signature and ready the printer for use.
The range of 36 MFPs were on display at the OEM’s DocuWorld 2015 event in Kuala Lumpur, and are separated into four different categories and include colour and monochrome models, The Star Online reported. Two broad categories make up the range, the standard DocuCentre-V printers and the ApeosPort-V models, which are fully customisable to the client’s needs.
Print resolutions for the lower end of the range are up to 1,200 x 2,400dpi, while the higher end models print at up to 2,400 x 2,400dpi.
All models include LED printheads, ‘eco-toners’ with a lower melting point and controllers that consume less power than before. The cameras on some of the models also feature Smart WelcomEyes Advance 2, with an infrared camera and a regular camera built into the front of the printer.
The infrared camera scans the room to detect the heat radiating from a human body while the second camera scans their footsteps, only turning on if it detects them coming towards the printer, and so allowing the deivce to stay in sleep mode for longer.
The devices can also save copied and scanned files to Xerox’ cloud service, and can then be translated automatically from one language, producing prints in another. Automatic translation is available to and from English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and even Bahasa Malaysian.
The devices support Apple’s AirPrint technology, and driverless printing from Android devices and Google Cloud Printing, and the camera can be used to scan QR codes and receive print jobs.
Security features include support for NFC chips in smartphones, but they are not integrated with NFC-enabled smart cards, and some models include cameras with facial recognitions software for identifying the user.
