Are you a teaching professional struggling to find time between preparing course material, grading tests, and proofreading hundreds of papers? 

Or have you ever faced a language barrier with students or parents that made sharing important information challenging? 

If you’re using Xerox equipment, the Xerox App Gallery offers a multitude of apps that you can download onto your copier/printer. These apps can save you time, increase productivity, and even assist with language barriers. This allows you to focus on other matters that need your attention most, like your students. 

Below are the five best Xerox MFP apps for saving time and increasing productivity within the education environment.  

Just like any app on your phone, printer apps can also reach an “end of service.” But what happens when you get an email that reads “this app will reach end of service next month”? What does that actually mean? Will the app simply stop working? And most importantly, what should you do about it?

As long-time Xerox partners, we’ve guided businesses through this exact scenario more times than we can count. Printer apps, like those in the Xerox App Gallery, are meant to go through a lifecycle. And while “end of service” sounds ominous, it doesn’t have to spell disaster if you understand what it truly means and plan ahead.

In this article, we’ll explain what end-of-service for printer apps really is, the risks of ignoring it, how Xerox typically handles it, and the smartest steps you can take to keep your workflows running smoothly.

If your office relies on the scan-to-email feature on your printer or multifunction device (MFP) and it's suddenly stopped working, fear not. Across industries, organizations are discovering that scanning directly to email is failing or behaving inconsistently, especially if they’re using Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace.

At Strategic Technology Partners of Texas, we’ve been tracking this issue closely. As Xerox partners, we not only understand what’s happening behind the scenes, but we also offer practical solutions that keep your office workflows running smoothly.

In this article, you’ll learn why scan-to-email is breaking across devices like Ricoh, Canon, Brother, HP, and even older Xerox models, and how Xerox’s updated apps are ready to fix the issue for good.

What’s Going On With Scan to Email?

Here is some context on the issue.

Managing your office's printing environment probably isn't the most exciting part of your day. But when it doesn't run smoothly? It's a problem that gets everyone talking, and not in a good way.

If you're exploring ways to make printing simpler, more secure, or less of a time-suck for your IT team, you may have come across two Xerox solutions: Xerox Workplace Cloud and Xerox Workplace Suite. They sound similar, and honestly, they do share a lot of features. But how they're deployed and who they're best for is where their differences start to matter.
