XEROX ANNOUNCES COLOR LASER PRINTERS THAT RAISE IMAGE QUALITY, PROVIDE
COST-EFFECTIVE 'ALL-IN-ONE' PRINTING

New XPrint family combines 'Intelligent Color' technology with low
black-and-white cost per page

ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 19, 1995 -- Xerox Corporation today announced a
family of networked color laser printers that raise image quality and
provide cost-effective, "all-in-one" color and black printing for office
workgroups.

The Xerox XPrint 4915,4920 and 4925 Color Laser Printers increase printing
performance and reduce operating costs. With these printers, office
workgroups can easily and affordably integrate color and black-and-white
documents using a single printer to meet all their printing needs.

The XPrint 4920 and 4925 offer the industry's lowest cost per page for
high-resolution monochrome prints on color laser printers. They produce
black-and-white pages at an average of 2.9 cents per print, comparable to
page rates of leading monochrome printers. Costs for color prints are
reduced to approximately 20 cents per page.

The XPrint series printers make color simple to use and manipulate through
Xerox exclusive "Intelligent Color" technology. The new series also
includes the industry's first model capable of automatically printing
Adobe PostScript collated document sets.

"With the XPrint family of color laser printers, we are meeting customer
requirements for a high-quality, cost-effective, all-in-one color and
black printing solution," according to Jeffrey Sisson, vice president and
general manager, Xerox Office Color Business Team. "This extension of the
Xerox color printing line demonstrates our ongoing commitment to office
color. Building on our extensive color expertise and technology, we will
continue to set new quality and performance standards in office
printing."

In addition to the announcement of 4915, 4920 and 4925 printers, the
previously released Xerox 4900 Color Laser Printer carries a new lower
list price of $6,095, with an anticipated street price of less than
$5,500, making it a high performance, entry-level color option for users
in the general office market.

The 4915, 4920 and 4925 produce full-color prints at up to three pages per
minute (ppm) and black-and-white prints at up to 12 ppm. The 4920 and 4925
print at true 600 by 600 dot-per-inch (dpi) resolution, and the 4915
achieves 1200 by 300 dpi resolution through laser modulation.
The 4915 is designed for workgroups in networked offices with a mix of
color and black-and-white applications ranging from reports and proposals
to correspondence and presentations. It features proprietary Xerox
Intelligent Color technology, designed to increase image quality and ease
of use by automatically applying the most appropriate imaging technology
to individual page elements, such as text, graphics and photographs.

The 4920 produces superior image quality with Intelligent Color technology,
and adds the capability to produce higher resolution with the advantages
of 7-micron toner. The combination of Intelligent Color technology and new
microfine toner results in crisper text, finer lines and smoother images.

The 4925, which provides high-quality color laser output for networked
offices and graphic arts applications, offers the same feature array as
the 4920, adding the ability to produce multiple collated document sets at
up to the printer's full rated speed once the first set is processed.

With the XPrint 4925 Color Laser Printer, users gain the advantage of
printing complete document sets instead of single pages. Productivity
increases and printing time is reduced, because the printer's collation
disk can process a job once and print several collated copies without
having to send the job multiple times over the network.

This feature also releases the user's computer faster, and doesn't clog the
network with job orders for multiple sets.

Intelligent Color in One Easy Click

With Xerox Intelligent Color technology, the new XPrint printers are
equipped to eliminate the complexity often involved in achieving optimal
color image quality. With one click of the mouse, this automatic feature
takes the burden off the user, who doesn't need to understand complex
imaging technologies to achieve document printing with the best possible
images.

It works much like the auto mode on a single-lens reflex camera: The vast
majority of users will always rely on the printers' default settings, but
advanced users may choose to experiment with various settings to achieve
desired effects.

Intelligent Color technology automatically applies imaging methods best
suited to individual elements--such as halftones, graphics or text--within
a page. It also offers the industry's widest range of image customization
options in Adobe PostScript, the preferred page description language for
the creation of color documents combining text, photographs and complex
graphics. This level of customization is not available with any other
color laser printer currently available on the market.

Imaging methods for Intelligent Color technology include patented Xerox
"quad-dot" technology, ideal for halftones to achieve photorealistic
images and warmer flesh tones and to minimize moire ("screen door")
patterns that detract from the image. Also, Xerox Smooth Screen technology
improves the look of shaded backgrounds and blocks of color by eliminating
the obvious banding that often results with other imaging technologies.

Color Printing Made Simple

Other features to make the XPrint 4915,4920 and 4925 simple to use include
easy print-driver operation. Users easily can take advantage of
Intelligent Color technology, in contrast to the print drivers on most
competitive products, which require the user's attention on several
different screens for printing.

The 4915, 4920 and 4925 are shipped ready to print out of the box, with
consumables such as toners already installed. The process to load
installation software also is simplified, with upgraded user documentation
and improved help screens.

The printers also incorporate Xerox Color Document Services for Printing
software, which enables bi-directional communication between the printer
and the user's desktop. Network users can instantly check the printer
status without moving from their work area. System administrators also can
maintain, query and configure the printer from their desktop.

Marketing and Availability

The XPrint 4915, 4920 and 4925 are sold through the Xerox Document Network
of authorized resellers. Shipments will begin in the United States by late
July.

Options include additional paper trays, an envelope tray, RAM upgrade kits,
a media server kit, and Ethernet and Token Ring interfaces.

The manufacturer's base list price for the 4915 is $6,895; for the 4920,
$7,995; and the list price for the 4925 is $9,495. Resellers will
determine their own pricing levels.

The printers are covered by a 90-day limited on-site warranty. They come
with the Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee, which states that if a
customer is not satisfied with Xerox equipment, upon request Xerox will
replace it without charge with an identical model or a machine with
comparable features and capabilities.

The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is effective for up to three years from
the date of equipment delivery as long as the machine is covered by
warranty or a Xerox-authorized service contract.
