Fuji Xerox Presents Windows® Vista
Compatible Software Prototype at PDC 2005 First time in the world to demonstrate input/output
using new format XPS
September 13, 2005
| At the Microsoft® Professional Developers
Conference 2005 (PDC 2005) to be held at Los Angeles Convention
Center, Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd. announced that it will present
Windows® Vista compatible software prototype using Fuji Xerox's
color multifunction device. |
| Fuji Xerox has worked closely with Microsoft
Corporation since the early development stage of the new Office
System, to develop digital file format XPS (XML Paper Specification),
which is a new function to be incorporated in the OS. At the
Windows® Hardware Engineering Conference (WinHEC) held in
Seattle, Oregon in April 2005, Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft,
demonstrated the XPS-compatible print management on stage
during his keynote speech. |
| At PDC 2005, Fuji Xerox will reveal a broader
function, such as scanning paper documents to create XPS documents,
and security management functions using an IC card that links
individual authentication and PKI (Public Key Infrastructure)
signature. The demonstration will be held on September 13,
2005 (PDT). |
| This will be the first time in the world
to demonstrate the XPS input and output function using an
actual device-printing, scanning and management function,
as well as data storage and security function-to present what
Microsoft addresses in its document flow management proposal. |
| "The speed and quality of the Fuji
Xerox prototype is very impressive," said Madelyn Bryant
McIntire, Product Unit Manager for the Windows Digital Documents
team, Microsoft. "Their implementation of the XPS in
their workgroup-class multifunction peripherals demonstrates
the feasibility of both XPS scanning and XPS printing based
on the XPS specification. This has been a close collaboration
between Microsoft and Fuji Xerox, and we look forward to seeing
their official launch of XPS Document-based solutions." |
