Experience the Difference

Xerox Extensible Interface Platform® allows your multifunction printer (MFP) to

adapt to fit the way you work, not the other way around. Xerox Extensible Interface
Platform is a software platform inside many Xerox® MFPs that allows independent
software vendors and developers to easily create personalized and customized
solutions that you can access right from the MFP touch screen. These solutions can
leverage your existing infrastructure and databases, giving you more out of your
technology investment.
