Xerox Helps Office Depot Customers Skip the Checkout Line and Pay for Copies at the Multifunction Printer

Norwalk, CT - April 16, 2009 -- Office Depot customers no longer have to wait at the checkout counter to pay for prints thanks to a solution created by Xerox Corporation (NYSE: XRX) and Equitrac Corporation, a Xerox Alliance Partner.

AutoPay allows customers to purchase their prints directly from a Xerox multifunction printer (MFP) with the swipe of a credit card, store purchasing card or gift card. The solution automatically estimates the cost of the job, verifies there are sufficient funds on the card, applies Office Depot Worklife Rewards loyalty points, and prints a receipt when the job is complete.

Before AutoPay, customers had to take their print order to the checkout counter to pay for the service. Now they can copy their documents, redeem personal discounts and be on their way within minutes.

AutoPay works on the Office Depot fleet of 3,000 Xerox WorkCentre® 5655 and 7655 color MFPs across more than 1,100 stores in the U.S. The customized solution was made possible by integrating Xerox Secure Access Unified ID™ system card readers and Equitrac software for secure payments from the device.

"This solution provides an innovative service for the Office Depot network of retail stores by turning MFPs into point-of-sale systems," said George Hill, senior vice president of Office Depot Design, Print and Ship Depot. "We appreciate that the time of our customers is valuable. The simple solution allows them to get in and out of the store fast with their documents in hand, so they can go back to taking care of their business."

"Xerox is committed to making the print experience quicker, easier and more intuitive, without sacrificing quality or increasing cost," said Deborah Cantabene, vice president of Workflow and Solutions Marketing, Xerox Corporation.

"With Xerox Extensible Interface Platform™ technology, our open development platform, and partners such as Equitrac, we create tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of customers."
