Xerox introduces Arabic user interface in the Middle East

Xerox (NYSE: XRX) is announcing a new Arabic user interface for its ConnectKey technology-enabled multifunction printers (MFPs). The new language functionality will answer the user’s need to work and collaborate in Arabic.

ConnectKey gives users a critical advantage with its simple-to-implement and secure technology to streamline how they communicate, process and share important information, simplify complex paper-driven tasks and drive down costs.

Its combination of hardware and software gives a range of users — from single users to larger groups in places like universities or governmental departments — the ability to streamline the way work gets done.

“Xerox places a great deal of importance on its presence in the Middle East and the Arabic user interface feature is an innovation that comes naturally. We are committed to supporting our customers regionally and we believe ConnectKey will offer seamless workflow for any MFP user,” says Dan Smith, Head of Integrated Marketing for Middle East and Africa, Xerox.

The new user interface in Arabic offers language support that enables users to access its native functionality entirely in Arabic, such as:

Completing important tasks with the help of the multifunction printer through the intuitive user interface’s touch points and easy menus
Finding contacts faster with an enhanced address book that stores all email, fax and scan information in a unified address book
Using integrated workflow software such as ConnectKey for Sharepoint and Xerox DocuShare.

“What sets us apart from the rest of the vendors is the continuous determination to promote a productive workplace. Arabic language for MFPs unquestionably adds value and creates the environment that will allow companies to focus on their core business,” adds Smith.

Availability of the feature

The new ConnectKey technology-enabled MFPs with Arabic Language Support will be a common feature across a wide range of products. Starting on 1 October 2015, the user interface in Arabic will be available for ConnectKey technology-enabled models.
