Benefits of Xerox One-Touch Apps

Do you have a Xerox copier? Do you do routine daily tasks like scanning documents or receipts into a folder? Do you get tired of hitting button after button to get simple tasks done?

Having sold copiers for over a decade, we are excited about how easy Xerox has made doing routine repetitive tasks with their One-Touch apps. In this article we will cover what a One-Touch App is and how you can use it to make your business more efficient.

Xerox has simplified work

With One-Touch apps, Xerox has made doing the daily work of your office much easier. Consider a case where you run an apartment complex and have to scan lease documents into a folder to be saved for corporate to look at. With most copiers, the process would look like this:

• Go to the copier
• Press Scan
• Choose Folder
• Choose Subfolder
• Look at the Settings
• Choose PDF
• Save
• Press Scan 
• Repeat for next job

With Xerox, you can set it up to skip almost all of these steps.  You can set it so you do the following:

• Go to the copier
• Press Custom button for scanning
• Repeat for next job

This may not seem like a big deal, but this becomes a huge time saver. This is especially true for those offices where there is a boss who struggles with technology. This can be so simple that it is easier than handing it to the assistant to do for them. 

Here is a video showing how it works:

What does this work for?

Your imagination is the biggest limitation here. You could set a button up like this for any of these kinds of workflows:

• Scan to a department manager
• Scan to accounting (reimbursements/receipts)
• Scan to a specific email
• Copy 2 sided rather than 2 sided
• Make thumbnail documents (2, 4, or 8 pages to 1 page – like little office flyers)
• Edge erase
• Bright, muted, lively copies
• Reduce/Enlarge
• Pick a specific paper tray or thickness

The biggest thing you should consider when creating One-Touch app buttons, is do you do this often? The more often you do a task, the more appropriate it is to create a One-Touch App.
