Xerox Corporation introduced the Xerox DocuMate(R) 4700, an A3 (11x17") sized flatbed scanner with a built-in USB hub which allows it to be used as a stand-alone device or connected through any Xerox DocuMate sheet fed scanner. At only $795, the DocuMate 4700 is an affordable solution for large document scanning. This design helps businesses avoid the expense of a having to buy a large format ADF/flatbed combination scanner. Other A3 flatbed scanners on the market are sold as options that can only be connected to a sheet fed scanner and require a sheetfed scanner that must be specifically designed to work with the flatbed option. The DocuMate 4700 breaks both of these rules, costs much less than competitors and can be shared among co-workers. The DocuMate 4700 is equipped with a generous flatbed that enables to scan large documents up to A3 (11 x 17") size, even if the connected ADF scanner is only A4 (8 1/2 x 11", US Letter) size. It also includes: Visioneer OneTouch(R) technology to connect the button control panel on the front of the scanner with tools to greatly improve the efficiency of workflow. Documents can be scanned to one of nine preset (yet completely configurable) destinations with the correct settings for resolution, color, cropping and file format, all at the touch of a button. Certified TWAIN(TM), ISIS(R) and WIA drivers to enable communication with hundreds of enterprise content management and document image management software solutions. Visioneer Acuity to provide advanced image enhancement. Visioneer DriverPLUS to enable sophisticated integration with document capture and workflows. Nuance(R) PaperPort(R), OmniPage(R) Pro and PDF Converter Pro. The Xerox DocuMate 4700, priced at $795, is available through online channel partners, VARs and major resellers throughout the Americas.

Municipalities now have a way to manage parking operations with a central management solution. Merge(R), a technology from Xerox Corporation is the first system to fully integrate and provide analytics on all aspects of metered and off-street programs. Merge integrates hardware and software to provide real-time information about coin collections, meter maintenance, enforcement, and occupancy by applying real-time data to solve parking issues. On display at the 2013 International Parking Institute Conference and Expo in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., Merge is built on an open architecture platform that enables cities to "plug and play" any field technology or software system that manages parking operations -- from parking space sensors and meters to handheld devices as well as the Internet, smart phones, and dynamic message signs for real-time parking guidance. In Los Angeles, Merge is deployed as part of the City's LA Express Park(TM) program, where Xerox's algorithm-driven pricing model sets parking prices based on supply and demand, helping improve parking turn over and space availability and provide a better experience for drivers.
