Business Wire
OfficeMax (NYSE: OMX) has signed a three-year agreement with Xerox
Corporation (NYSE: XRX) to complete the rollout of nearly 3,000
Xerox printers and multifunction systems to approximately 900
retail stores nationwide. OfficeMax is completing the replacement
of a wide range of color and black-and-white production and office
printing systems both behind the counter and for walk-up use. The
agreement makes Xerox the primary equipment vendor for OfficeMax
ImPress�, OfficeMax�s new identity for print and document services
operation that serves businesses and consumers through direct
sales, online sales and inside all OfficeMax retail locations. By
the end of January, OfficeMax will have upgraded all of its
self-serve copiers in OfficeMax ImPress Centers to Xerox
WorkCentre� Pro 245 multifunction systems, which can copy, print,
scan and fax. The company is laying the groundwork for new services
for its customers. OfficeMax chose this model because of the
recently announced Xerox Extensible Interface Platform�, which
enables independent software vendors and partners to develop
customized programs for the systems� display panel, or
touch-screen. �The Xerox multifunction systems, combined with the
Extensible Interface Platform, will help us meet the specific needs
of our customers,� said Brian Norris, senior vice president of
OfficeMax ImPress. �We will make it quicker and easier for people
to create powerful documents that will truly impress. We�ll also
offer them more services and value through a customized display
panel that could, for example, allow people to view and print
current coupons. The possibilities are virtually endless.� Bringing
Higher Quality Printing to All Customers In addition to the
technology for its new OfficeMax ImPress operations, OfficeMax is
expanding its fleet of high-end production equipment designed to
better serve its large customers. These systems have the power and
speed to produce complex jobs such as training manuals, booklets
and brochures. The Xerox Nuvera� 120 digital copier/printer can
scan both sides of a document in a single pass at up to 120 ppm.
The Xerox 4590� copier/printer and Xerox 4110� copier/printer
provide image quality of 2400 x 2400 dpi with scanning speeds of up
to 100 double-sided pages per minute. They print and copy at up to
90 and 110 ppm, respectively. The Xerox DocuColor 250
copier/printer will serve as the main color production system in
each store. Printing in color at up to 50 pages per minute at true
2400 x 2400 dpi, these systems are designed to give OfficeMax
customers the best digital color quality available in retail today.
They�re being integrated into OfficeMax�s existing digital network,
allowing customers to submit their print jobs from their desktops
to any OfficeMax ImPress location. By the end of January, OfficeMax
will complete installation of Xerox office color multifunction
printers and digital copiers for self-service in all retail stores.
Xerox is installing the WorkCentre Pro C2636 for walk-up use at all
OfficeMax locations. This model combines color printing, copying,
scanning and faxing into one easy-to-use system. With speeds of 36
pages per minute in black-and-white and 26 ppm color, it can
quickly process and print large files such as color presentations,
spreadsheets, photo-filled newsletters, promotional fliers and
more. About OfficeMax Incorporated OfficeMax Incorporated is a
