CentreWare Internet Services

CentreWare Internet Services (CentreWare IS) provides a simple interface that enables you to manage, configure, and monitor a networked printer and retrieve scanned documents from your desktop using the printer’s embedded Web server. CentreWare IS gives system administrators easy access to printer status, configuration, security settings, and diagnostic functions. It provides users with access to printer status and special printing functions, such as printing saved jobs and custom paper types. Using CentreWare IS, you can access and manage your printer over a TCP/IP network using a Web browser. Enter your printer’s IP address in your Web browser to access CentreWare IS.

CentreWare IS enables you to:

Configure the printer from your computer. CentreWare IS allows you to copy settings from one printer to another.

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

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.

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 or device and the network (in Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX environments). TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in the printer, and a browser that supports JavaScript is required. If JavaScript is disabled, a warning message appears and CentreWare IS may not function properly.
