2-24 Installing Windows Printer Drivers
Installing Printer Drivers on Other Networks
The Xerox Installer supports Windows networks. To install drivers on other networks
use Microsoft’s Add Printer Wizard.
Configuring Printer Drivers
To use the Xerox system printer drivers most effectively, you will need to configure
the drivers to reflect options available on your Xerox system. You can configure the
drivers in one of the following ways:
Preconfigure standard device and document settings in the driver prior to
distributing them for installation.
Configure installable options directly at a workstation.
Preconfiguring Default Driver Settings
You may want to standardize the default settings for your Windows printer drivers
before making them available for installation on individual workstations. There are
two categories of driver settings that you can preconfigure:
Device Settings—refers to installable options such as a High Capacity Feeder
and Finisher.
Document Settings—refers to document options such as portrait or landscape
orientation and PostScript options.
This preconfiguration process involves copying the printer driver files from the
CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD to a server installation directory, installing a
driver on a workstation, selecting the default device and document settings that you
want to establish, saving those settings in the driver, and copying the configuration
file to the installation directory on the server to overwrite the previous defaults.
NOTE: This process can be performed in both Windows and non-Windows
network environments (such as NetWare), and should be performed initially on
an individual workstation to minimize impact to the server or potential down-
time. After the preconfiguration process is completed at the workstation the
files are copied to the server.
