Configuring Installation Files

The Xerox Printer Configuration Utility provides a simple way to set up a configuration file that you send to users as part of a packet of installation files. With the Xerox Printer Configuration Utility, you can select printer drivers for each supported printer model, set up a network connection for a printer, choose whether to replace drivers, and whether to make this printer the default printer. You also have the option to configure the printer driver in several languages at the same time.

To set up the Configuration File, you can either make your own selections, or use the Preconfigured File provided by Xerox.

Preconfigured File

Initially, this file is preconfigured by Xerox with all the drivers for each supported printer model, with No as the option for Replace Drivers, and with No as the option to make this printer the Default Printer.

When you click the Preconfigured File button and choose one of the XeroxPrintersToInstall[Language].xml files, the preconfigured settings for each printer model are added to the Configuration Information box. You may then:

„modify the preconfigured settings

„delete printers

„configure connection settings

„configure a silent installation

„choose to install documentation

For more information about the XeroxPrintersToInstall[Language].xml file and the supported printer driver languages, see Supported Driver Languages on page 2-22.

NOTE: Saving the file overwrites the preconfigured settings with your new settings.
