Xerox A10 Print Server: Reliable Network Printing for Modern Offices

The Xerox A10 Print Server is a compact, high-performance network printing appliance designed to streamline how teams print across single or multi-site environments. Built to integrate seamlessly with Xerox printers and a wide range of third-party devices, the A10 centralizes print queues, enhances security, and simplifies administration. This device is ideal for busy front desks, corporate offices, and IT-led print fleets where reliability, speed, and control matter. With its robust support for standard printing protocols and a user-friendly web interface, the Xerox A10 Print Server helps reduce IT overhead while delivering predictable, high-quality print results for every user.

Designed for scalability, the Xerox A10 Print Server provides administrators with granular control over print workflows, strict access policies, and clear visibility into print activity. Its modular architecture supports growing fleets, multiple locations, and evolving security requirements, ensuring consistent performance as you expand. Whether you’re managing a few dozen printers or dozens of locations, the A10 helps you consolidate hardware, simplify driver management, and improve uptime for mission-critical documents.

• Experience efficient network printing that centralizes all print queues into a single, easy-to-manage interface. The A10 reduces print delays by balancing job throughput, prioritizing urgent print tasks, and automatically retrying failed jobs, resulting in smoother workflows from reception to conference rooms. Its queue-sharing capabilities enable multi-department printing in a single, organized sequence, while smart scheduling minimizes idle time and network chatter. Administrators can define per-user or per-group priorities, set up print quotas, and implement job accounting to track usage and control costs.
• Broad protocol and printer compatibility: Supports common network printing protocols such as LPD/LPR, IPP, and RAW, and is compatible with Xerox printers and most third-party devices. IPv6 readiness ensures future-proof networking and easy integration into modern IT environments. This versatility helps reduce the need for multiple print servers and simplifies driver management across the organization.
• Security-first design: Features user authentication, secure print release, encryption, and audit logs to help compliance requirements and peace of mind for IT administrators. Centralized access controls and role-based permissions help protect sensitive documents, while secure print release ensures documents are only released when the intended user is present at the printer.
• Easy management and monitoring: Web-based interface, real-time status updates, and alerting enable IT teams to monitor queues, printer availability, and resource usage without on-site visits. Centralized configuration simplifies firmware updates, policy enforcement, and audit trails across all printers on the network, reducing maintenance time and increasing reliability.
• Scalability and reliability: Add printers and locations as your business grows, without sacrificing performance. The A10 is designed for high availability in busy offices, with robust error handling, automatic retries, and straightforward recovery options to minimize downtime. This makes it an excellent fit for distributed teams, shared workspaces, and retail environments where dependable printing is essential.
