CentreWare Internet Services (IS)

CentreWare IS provides a simple interface that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor networked printers from your desktop using an embedded web server. CentreWare IS gives administrators easy access to printer status, configuration, and diagnostic functions. It also provides users with access to printer status and special printing functions such as printing saved jobs. With CentreWare IS software, you can access and manage your printers over a TCP/IP network using a web browser.

CentreWare IS enables you to:

■Check supplies status from your desktop, saving a trip to the printer. Access job accounting records to allocate printing costs and plan supplies purchases.

■Define a network printer search and view a list of printers using Printer Neighborhood. The list provides current status information and allows you to manage printers independent of network servers and operating systems.

■Configure printers from your desktop. CentreWare IS makes it easy to copy settings from one printer to another.

■Set up and use a simple web-browser-based printing system. Marketing collateral, sales materials, business forms, or other standardized, frequently used documents can be saved as a group with their original driver settings then reprinted on demand at high speed from any user's browser. A printer with a hard drive is required to support these functions. In some printer models, a DX configuration is required to support these functions.

■Troubleshoot print-quality problems using built-in diagnostics.

■Define a link to your local web server’s support page.

■Access online manuals and technical support information located on the Xerox website.

Note: CentreWare IS requires a web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the network (in Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX environments). TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in the printer. JavaScript is required to access the pages in Printer Neighborhood. If JavaScript is disabled, a warning message appears and the pages do not function properly.
