Introducing the Xerox AltaLink 8200 Series

The Xerox AltaLink B8200 Series represents the next evolution in office productivity, building on the solid foundation laid by the AltaLink B8100. Designed to meet the demanding needs of medium to large-sized businesses in Colorado, this series offers advanced technology, enhanced security, and AI-driven tools to streamline workflows and improve efficiency—all while keeping energy efficiency and local support in mind.

What are the Key Upgrades from the AltaLink B8100 Series?

The Xerox AltaLink B8200 Series introduces several important upgrades over its predecessor, the B8100 Series:

1. Enhanced Speed and Performance: The B8200 Series offers faster print speeds, with some models reaching up to 70 pages per minute (ppm), compared to the B8100’s maximum of 55 ppm. This improvement is crucial for high-volume environments where time is of the essence.
2. Improved Print Quality: With upgraded imaging technology, the B8200 Series delivers even sharper and more vibrant prints. This makes it ideal for Colorado businesses that require top-tier print quality for client presentations and marketing materials.
3. Increased Paper Capacity: The B8200 Series supports a higher paper capacity, reducing the frequency of refills and minimizing downtime. This feature is particularly beneficial for busy offices, especially in regions where reliable access to supplies might be intermittent due to weather conditions.
4. Advanced Security Features: Building on the already robust security features of the B8100, the B8200 Series introduces additional layers of protection, including AI-driven threat detection and response, ensuring your sensitive data remains secure.

What is ConnectKey Technology? The Hub of Your Office Ecosystem?

The Xerox AltaLink B8200 Series is powered by Xerox’s ConnectKey technology, transforming these devices into smart workplace assistants. ConnectKey allows for seamless integration with cloud services, mobile devices, and workflows, making it easier than ever for Colorado businesses to manage documents and tasks from anywhere, whether you’re in Denver or the high mountains.

ConnectKey technology includes features like:

• Mobile and Cloud Connectivity: Users can print from and scan to cloud services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive directly from the AltaLink B8200 interface.

• Auto Redaction: This app automatically redacts sensitive information from documents, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations without the need for manual intervention.

These AI-assisted apps are integrated seamlessly into the device, making it easy for users to enhance their productivity without needing to be tech experts.

Energy Efficiency for Colorado’s Environmentally Conscious Businesses
