supporting printers and multifunction devices on the network, and increase end-user productivity:

Xerox Global Print Driver (X-GPD) is a truly universal print driver that lets IT administrators install, upgrade and manage Xerox and non-Xerox devices from a single driver. It provides a consistent, easy-to-use interface for end-users, aimed at reducing the number of support calls, and simplifying print services management.

The Xerox Mobile Express Driver (X-MED) makes it easy for mobile users to find, use and manage Xerox and non-Xerox devices in every new location. Users can plug into a new network, and the X-MED driver will automatically discovers available printers and provide status and capability information. Users can save a list of “favorite” printers for each location, store application print settings for use on any printer in any network, and greatly reduce mobile support calls to IT administrators.

In addition, these drivers provide users with a consistent single interface for all printers, with real-time, dynamic reports of printer status. As a result, users can easily identify the best printer for their needs, quickly choose the correct options and see updated consumables status without the assistance of IT.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

Workgroup devices sold through retail and traditional IT distribution outlets usually are maintained by office workers who change the all-in-one cartridge units that encase the entire imaging system, including the toner cartridge (or the ink cartridges employed by ink-jet imaging systems). Units sold through resellers and dealers are usually maintained by office workers and/or trained service engineers. While separate long-life parts are more complex to install (i.e., separate toner cartridges, imaging drums, transfer belts), they tend to cost less than low- yield, all-in-one alternatives.

Toner or Ink Replacement

Changing the toner, imaging cartridge or ink cartridge is a necessary task that is traditionally is avoided by some for fear of toner dust or ink leaking on clothing or hands, or the fear that it might be too complicated. However, most units today offer clean replacement of toner or ink supplies, and there is very little risk of toner or ink leakage. Usually the replacement process is usually easy.

Clearing Media Misfeeds

The main issue that office users attempt to avoid is the removal of an occasional media misfeed. As a general rule, the faster a device engine, and the more media handling and finishing options it has, the more complex is the process of removing media misfeeds.

Common media-misfeed sources involve the duplex unit and poor loading of media supplies. The position of the duplex unit may be a major factor in the removal of many
