- Xerox Multi-Function Machines
- Every building in District 87 has two or more Xerox
multi-function machines that were recently added to the
District 87 network to provide increased functionality.
In addition to walk up copying, these machines can be used
for scanning to email, printing from computers, and using
scan cover sheets to route documents easily. In
addition, the Xerox Multi-function machines have greater
feature sets than normal printers including speed, booklet
printing, collating, stapling and more. It is
recommended that staff use the Xerox machines as the cost
per page is signicantly cheaper. Training on copying,
printing and scanning will cover the topics above.
- Xerox - Printing
- Would you like to print to a Xerox machine? Do you
need booklet printing, stapled or collated printing? Would
you like to ensure confidential print jobs can be printed to a
network printer? Now that all Xerox machines in District
87 are networked, they can do more than copying. Staff can
send print jobs directly to a Xerox printer. This session
will demonstrate how to access a Xerox printer, send a print job
from your computer, change options including Secure Print for
confidential documents, 2-sided printing, booklet printing,
collating, stapling and more. Training on Xerox - Printing
will cover all the topics above.
- Xerox - Copying
- All Xerox copying functions are covered by Xerox support.
For more information about copying training, please contact
Sharon in Copy Services.
- Xerox - Scanning
- Would you like to scan a document to your own email?
Would you like to send student work home via email? Now
that all Xerox machines in District 87 are networked, they can
do more than copying. Staff may scan any documents
directly from a Xerox printer to a District 87 email address.
Documents will be changed into a PDF file, which can be opened
with Acrobat Reader - a program installed on all District 87
computers. This file can then be forwarded on to any email
address outside the District 87 network. Training on Xerox
- Scanning will cover everything needed to complete a scan to
email.
- Xerox - SmartSend / Freeflow
- Do you do a great deal of scanning from the Xerox machine
and find it cumbersome? Do you need to convert a document
to another format (Word, PowerPoint, PDF, TIFF, etc)? In
addition to Xerox - Scanning (above), the District also offers
the ability for staff to create scan cover sheets to more easily
route scanned documents to common locations (email, web servers,
District 87 Print Shop, and more). The advantage of this
over Xerox scanning is users only need to check boxes on the
cover sheet created and the Xerox will do the rest.
Documents can be converted to searchable PDFs, Word documents,
and more. Training on Xerox - SmartSend will cover all of
these topics. More detailed information from Xerox is
located
here.
