Color Multifunction Printers
Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying a fleet of copier/printers and multifunction devices 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 ColorQube™ 9201/9202/9203 exceeds the installation and deployment requirements:
Installation
When you choose Xerox, you can rest assured that your equipment will be delivered and installed to your specifications and expectations. The ColorQube 9201/9202/9203 multifunction printer comes standard with 10/100/1000Base-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 ColorQube 9201/9202/9203 multifunction printer, print and scan drivers can be deployed centrally, thereby eliminating the need for IT staff to perform desk-to-desk manual installation of the driver software. CentreWare Web wizards are provided to aid in the processes of installing, troubleshooting and upgrading print and scan drivers for employees, freeing up IT personnel for more pressing projects. Driver support
is delivered for Windows (2000/Server 2003/2008/XP/Vista), including most operating systems with 32- and 64-bit drivers; Macintosh OS 10.3 and higher; and multiple UNIX and Linux platforms.
Deployment of multiple units is simple with the ability to “clone” network configurations.
Plus The ColorQube 9201/9202/9203 support two innovative new print drivers that can greatly simplify installing, managing and supporting printers and multifunction devices 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 assistance of IT.
