Sure, you can use your Xerox multifunction printer for all the basics. It’s a multifunction printer after all, which means that you can print, scan, copy, and fax—it does exactly what it says on the tin.
However, that’s just the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. Your Xerox MFP is an in-house marketing material and print media powerhouse, capable of producing envelopes, brochures, and great-looking booklets.
In today’s post on the Smart Document Solutions blog, we’ll take a look at some of these advanced printing styles. Most businesses have a need for a brochure at some point or another, so let’s start there and put your MFP to work:
How to Print Brochures With Your Xerox Multifunction Printer
Brochure printing is perhaps one of the easiest print styles to use on your MFP. Since a brochure is effectively a folded piece of paper, no special setup is necessary. Getting a great brochure mostly comes down to your print settings (you’ll want them at the highest quality), the paper stock used, and, of course, the design of the brochure itself.
If you’ve never designed a brochure before, it can be a little tricky. That’s why Xerox offers a ton of free business brochures on their website. The brochures are great starting templates for all business types and are fully customizable.
Your Xerox MFP Can Create Awesome Booklets
Being able to quickly and easily print an in-house booklet using your Xerox multifunction printer is a fantastic way to make presentable documents of all kinds: programs, itineraries, sales lists, menus, and more.
Most modern Xerox MFPs have a booklet printing mode. Check the Xerox support pages for instructions on how to use it for your specific model—they’re all pretty easy to get started with. Typically, you’ll select the booklet creation option in the same area where you set up the page layout. Here’s a brief explainer video from Xerox which shows how this process works on a WorkCentre.
Yes, It’s Possible to Print Envelopes Without an Envelope Tray
In most cases, an envelope tray is an add on sold separately from your multifunction printer. They’re an affordable and smart investment if you plan on printing large volumes of envelopes regularly, but did you know that you can still print envelopes even without one?
To accomplish this, simply use the bypass tray. That’s the tray intended for use with “non standard” print media, and it can be used for envelopes among many other things. Once you set your printer to bypass mode and select the correct settings for your size and style of envelope, you’ll be ready to go.
