Xerox Extensible Interface Platform (EIP) enables independent software vendors and partners to develop customized programs to access directly from the Xerox printer. Users can enter their authentication login at the printer and access a set of features and options designed specifically for their business needs.
For example, a hospital could customize the printer to help better manage patient forms. By selecting an icon on the Touch Screen, a health care worker could access the hospital's Web-based document management system and browse a list of patient forms.
Users can also quickly scan and capture paper documents, preview thumbnails, and add them to frequently used document storage locations. For example:
A tutor can scan notes directly to a specific course repository for students to access
A student can scan assessment papers to their course folder for their tutor to mark.
Xerox Extensible Interface Platform utilizes web-based Xerox Partner solutions including Omtool, Equitrac, and FreeFlow SMARTsend to enable users to access document repositories at the Touch Screen. Additional resources may be required on the printer depending on the solution. For additional information, contact your Sales Representative.
