Xerox launches 7142 MFP for wide-format architectural production

Xerox has unveiled an upgraded version of its 7142 wide-format platform that is pitched as an affordable way for commercial printers and architectural firms to copy, scan and print technical jobs.

The colour Xerox 7142 MFP can output up to 40sqm an hour on a maximum width of 1,080mm.

The manufacturer said it had created the model for jobs that required the high-resolution colour scanning and printing of construction plans, electrical wiring diagrams and maps.

Xerox's new machine also features a 'Sure Scan' mode that allows users to view and alter scanner settings before the document is stored or printed.

According to Howard Witt, wide-format manager at Xerox Europe, the 7142 MFP enables architects, engineers and commercial printers to complete the straightforward colour production of technical documents.

He said: "They may also be familiar with the user interface – which is the same one found on Xerox’s mono devices."

The Xerox 7142 MFP is available for installation now while existing 7142 customers can undertake a field upgrade to the new model.
