Xerox Evaluate Installation, HOW THE XEROX PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT

EVALUATE INSTALLATION

Before they can realise the benefits of adopting a high-performance colour printer, customers must first consider setup and installation steps. Is the printer easy to set up and connect to your network? Can your employees install print drivers, and do flexible installation methods exist for both large and small organisations, or for organisations with unique installation requirements.

HOW THE XEROX PHASER 8560 EXCEEDS THE INSTALLATION REQUIREMENT

PRINTER SETUP

The Phaser 8560 printer ships with easy-to-follow, graphic-based instructions on how to remove it from its packaging, assemble it and prepare it for printing. Printer setup is straightforward — the Phaser 8560 printer even ships with two ink sticks preinstalled for each colour. There are no consumables to install during setup. Once the printer is plugged in and attached to your network, it will automatically be assigned an IP address — and you’ll be ready to install print drivers and start printing.

PRINT DRIVER INSTALLATION

The Phaser 8560 print driver installation process is designed to provide easy and consistent installation from all software sources, regardless of platform.

The installation process can be initiated from multiple locations:

• Phaser 8560 Installation CD • CentreWare® IS Embedded Web Server • Xerox.com download

The wizard-based driver installation process offers you three methods for selecting the printer you want to install:

•Use Xerox Walk-Up®Technology (default) — It doesn’t get easier than this. The installation application will direct you to the Phaser 8560 you want to install. Simply select “Walk-Up Features” and “Select for Installation,” and the rest of the process is completely automated. You don’t need to know the printer name or its IP address.

•Select from the Following Discovered Printers — If you know the name of the printer you want to install, select it from the list of discovered printers to install.

•Enter Printer’s IP address — If you know the IP address of the printer you want to install, enter it here to install and that specific printer.

The Phaser 8560 print driver installation application automatically discovers what printer configuration you are installing — as well as the presence of features like two-sided output and additional paper trays — and makes it available in your print driver.

For small organisations, this automated installation process makes it easy for your employees to install their print drivers with or without IT assistance. For larger organisations, the IT department can simply send an email to end users with a link to CentreWare IS or the Xerox.com website, enabling them to launch the print driver installer and follow the same simple installation process.
