Evaluate Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying MFPs organization-wide can be a time-consuming, complicated process. Consider the ease with which the device will integrate into the existing network infrastructure. Also, evaluate the process required to deploy printing and scanning ser- vices to your users, and whether the device includes helpful tools that automate the process.
How the WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs exceed the installation and deployment requirements
Installation
The WorkCentre 5225 / 5230 MFPs’ 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connection features auto- matic IP addressing, device naming, and Ethernet speed sensing for simple, automatic network installation. Management and system setup can be accomplished through a variety of means, including easy wizard-based processes found within Xerox CentreWare® Web. Plus, the cloning feature enables network installation of multiple devices with identi- cal settings, eliminating the need to set up each device individually.
Deployment

Again, CentreWare Web wizards are provided to aid in the processes of install- ing, troubleshooting and upgrading print and scan drivers, freeing up IT staff for more pressing projects. Driver support is delivered for Windows (2000 / Server 2003 / XP / Vista), including most with 32- and 64-bit drivers, Macintosh OS (10.3 and above), and multiple
UNIX and Linux platforms.CentreWare Web helps administrators quickly install, configure and troubleshoot all networked printers and MFPs — regardless of manufacturer.
