Overview EIP-capable Software EIP-capable Hardware
Xerox Extensible Interface Platform (EIP) brings a whole new world of possibilities to the Xerox multifunction printer (MFP). With EIP, your Xerox MFP can now adapt to fit the way you work, not the other way around.
  • End-users can share, store and print information easier
  • IT can add value and information security for their clients
  • Developers can quickly and easily build applications that can be customized for the MFP’s user interface

What is EIP?

Xerox EIP is a software platform upon which developers can use standard web-based tools to create server-based applications that can be configured for the MFP’s touch-screen user interface.

End-user advantages

  • Simplify complicated workflows while making the MFP easier to use
  • Transform hardcopy documents into digital information, making it easier to edit, store and share information
  • Adapt the MFP to fit your work habits…not the other way around
  • Complete some tasks entirely at the MFP; including retrieving documents on a network without a computer

IT/System integrator advantages

  • Serve your customers faster
  • Integrate solutions into your existing IT infrastructure
  • Manage centralized solutions from anywhere in the world
  • Expand and adapt the MFP along with your business
  • Create customized solutions easily. EIP is based on web standards such as HTML, CSS, XML and JavaScript. It also uses standard secure protocols – HTTPS and SSL

Examples of what EIP can enable

  • Use menus and language that are specific to your business or workgroup, such as "Search client database," "Submit form to claims department," or "Fax to accounts payable"
  • All of your personal preferences can appear on the touch-screen of your multifunction system with the swipe your ID badge
  • Turn a complicated workflow into a simple process where only a few buttons need to be pushed
  • Enter hardcopy information into a document repository with the simple touch of a button
  • Send a document to a network print queue and print it from any MFP on the network with a swipe your ID card
  • Print the day’s news or stock reports directly from the Xerox MFP touch-screen

How to get started

Software developers, independent software vendors, system integrators, and in-house developers along with Xerox Alliance Partners are provided with an advanced, comprehensive, and easy-to-use software development kit (SDK). Applications can be created quickly by using standard web development tools, modular application programming interfaces (API), and various EIP web services.

Partner advantages

Becoming a Xerox Alliance Partner has many advantages. The program provides partners with access to Xerox's global resources, technology, products, and consultative experts. However, the real benefit of being a partner is the success we can achieve by working together.
