Multifunction Printers
Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying a fleet of copier/printers and multifunction printers throughout your organization is a potentially time-consuming, complicated process. The process isn’t limited to physically placing the units in their new environments, but also includes integrating the devices with the existing network infrastructure. Also consider the process required to deploy printing and scanning services to your users, and how automated that process can be.
How the WorkCentre 7120 multifunction printer exceeds the installation and deployment requirements:
Installation
The WorkCentre 7120 multifunction printer offers a small and compact footprint at
23 x 25.2 x 44.6 inches (w x d x h), which means the device fits even in offices where space is at a premium. The compact design was achieved with an inner catch tray and by reducing the size of sub-modules such as the scanner unit. You can even add basic finishing capabilities with the space- saving Integrated Office Finisher without increasing the overall footprint.
When you choose Xerox, you can rest assured that your equipment will be delivered and installed to your specifications and expectations. The WorkCentre 7120 multifunction printer comes standard with 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connection, with features including automatic IP addressing, device naming, and Ethernet speed sensing to provide simple and 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. Features such as cloning enable multiple-device installation onto networks with identical settings, eliminating the need to set up each system individually.
Deployment
With the WorkCentre 7120 multifunction printer, print and scan drivers can be deployed centrally, thereby eliminating the need for desk-to-desk manual installation of the driver software. CentreWare
Web wizards are provided to aid in the processes of installing, troubleshooting and upgrading users’ print and scan drivers. Driver support is delivered for Windows (Server 2003, 2008 / XP SP1 and higher/ Vista / 7), including most operating systems with 32- and 64-bit drivers; Macintosh OS 10.4 and above; and multiple UNIX and Linux platforms.
Plus, the WorkCentre 7120 device will support* two innovative new print drivers that can greatly simplify installing, managing and supporting printers and multifunction printers on the network, and increase end-user productivity:
•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. Plug into a new network, and X-MED automatically discovers available printers and provides status and capability information. 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.
•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, reducing the number of support calls, and simplifying print services management.
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 need for IT resources.
