With extensive capabilities, the next-generation dongle servers – the dongleserver Pro and ProMAX have been designed to meet customer demands for increased performance and functional product design. The new models feature USB 3.0 SuperSpeed; the RJ-45 network connectors have been moved to the back, to ensure easier installation in office environments and data centres; new monitoring and logging features can trace all dongle server activity, automatically and with a timestamp; and the entire USB communication between client and dongle servers can now be encrypted. www.seh-technology.com Focus On: What’s New First for Epson Epson has launched its first ever A3 sheetfed scanners for businesses. The Epson WorkForce DS-30000 and DS-32000. The new scanners offer high speed image capture of up to 90 ppm (180 ipm), with wide media flexibility making them the ideal entry point to an organisation’s digital workflow. Able to scan a range of documents, from large-bound documents to passports, the WorkForce DS-30000 and DS- 32000 boast a series of features cited as priorities by Epson customers. The use of efficient motors and low intervention CIS sensors mean the new range uses as little energy as possible, while advanced features such as friction reduction, double feed detection and advanced paper protection sensors prevent documents from being damaged. The DS-32000 features an adjustable chassis and can be altered to suit the job required – operating as a traditional sheetfed scanner in standard mode or can be laid flat when processing higher volumes. The scanner can also be folded away when not in use, saving space in smaller workspaces. The range also offers practical solutions such as a colour touchscreen and guided support to help the user manage cleaning and maintenance – reducing downtime and service calls. www.epson.co.uk Xerox expands cloud services portfolio Xerox has expanded its flexible cloud services portfolio with the launch of Virtual Print Management Service and Workplace Cloud Fleet Management, two new offerings designed to support and accelerate the digital transformation efforts of its IT clients.
