As work continues to become less office-centered and more mobile, there is an increased demand for innovations that will help mobile employees get their work accomplished from just about anywhere.
Xerox and Staples have a 20-year partnership founded on providing printing services to consumers and small businesses alike. In 2016, Staples debuted a customized Xerox self-service device to help improve the customer experience for mobile workers and small businesses that rely on Staples for their printing and office work needs. The new solution allows customers to print, scan, copy, and fax without the help of a store employee.

The cloud connected self-service devices make ordinary office activities a snap on the road. Plus, the ability for customers to pay for services directly on the device allows customers to get work done quickly and efficiently.
Small business writer and blogger Alexandra Levit notes, “small business owners are spinning so many plates at once. Xerox and Staples have worked together to design a self-serve MFP that allows you to hit a local Staples, scan to email, mobile print, print from your email, and be out with your documents in seconds.”
