Regardless of your industry, there are always ways to boost your productivity. Technology has made this easier than ever.

The printer, in particular, used to be the most boring piece of equipment in the office. Print, copy, and maybe scan if you were lucky. But these days? Your Xerox printer can do a lot more than you think.

Apps designed specifically for Xerox devices are helping offices reduce manual tasks, improve document workflows, and even boost security. The best part is you can do all this from the same touchscreen where you hit “print.”

As certified Xerox partners, we’ve spent a lot of time testing these tools and helping businesses figure out which ones are actually worth the investment. In this article, we’ll share five of the most effective productivity apps from the Xerox App Gallery, especially for businesses looking to get more out of their multifunction printers.

Some apps are free, others are paid. But most offer free trials, so if any of these sound useful, you can try before you buy.

The 5 Best Printer Productivity Apps in Xerox App Gallery   

Without further ado, here are the five most notable printer productivity apps on the Xerox App Gallery:    

1. AIDA

If your team spends too much time sorting, renaming, or extracting data from scanned documents, AIDA can take that off your plate. AIDA (Artificial Intelligence for Document Automation) is a solution that uses AI to manage and process documents. It extracts data from any type of document, analyzes it, and adapts it to your needs. You can easily extract information or properties such as:

  • Words and phrases
  • Dates
  • Numbers
  • Names and addresses

This app is a favorite for businesses that deal with forms, contracts, or invoices daily. Once scanned, AIDA lets you automatically send documents to cloud platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, or DocuShare. It's like hiring a digital assistant for document handling.

Note: To use the app, you must have an AIDA account.

Ideal for: Accounting teams, finance departments, or any business managing lots of paper-based documentation.

Pricing: $20 per device (unlimited installation).

3. Xerox Auto-Redaction App

Manual redaction is slow and error-prone, and in many industries, a missed phone number or email address can lead to big compliance problems. The Auto-Redaction app solves that.

Using AI-driven technology (from Google’s Data Loss Prevention software), this app identifies and redacts personally identifiable information (PII) such as:

  • Names
  • Phone numbers
  • Social Security Numbers
  • Emails
  • Custom words or phrases

You can also choose to highlight or underline data instead of redacting, which is perfect for audit reviews.

Features:

  • Choose from presets or set custom redaction items
  • Option to preview, print, and email redacted files
  • Works with Xerox AltaLink and VersaLink devices (not PrimeLink)

Ideal for: Legal teams, HR departments, healthcare organizations, and anyone handling sensitive or regulated data.

Pricing:

  • 2,000 pages - $76.00
  • 7,500 pages - $219.00
  • 25,000 pages - $549.00

4. Summarizer App

Dealing with long reports or articles? The Summarizer app uses AI to condense documents into clear, readable summaries.

Choose between:

  • Extractive summaries(condense original documents to a smaller percentage of the original – 175 languages)
  • Abstractive summaries(rewrites into a short & concise version - English only)

You can preview, print, or email summaries right from the printer interface.

Ideal for: Professionals who need to digest long content fast, like researchers, legal assistants, administrators, or educators.

Pricing:

The Summarizer app charges per page.

It costs one credit per page for extractive summaries and two credits per page for abstractive summaries. You can purchase credits in the following amounts:

  • 250 credits - $54

5. Quick Link

Connecting devices to your printer shouldn't feel like setting up a router from 2002. Quick Link makes it easy. Just scan a QR code from the printer to quickly connect your laptop, desktop, or mobile device.

It supports both Android and iOS, and even lets users receive an email with connection instructions for their PC.

Ideal for: Any shared office or hybrid workplace where employees need to connect quickly to print on demand.

Pricing: Free
