Xerox Phaser 3600 Evaluator Guide 7
Evaluate Ease of Installation, Management, and Use
Installing printers can be challenging, whether in a large organization or small office. The process includes integrating the printers into
your existing office environment and may include connecting them to your network infrastructure. If network printing is a require-
ment, evaluate the ease with which drivers can be deployed to multiple users. Also, evaluate the management tools delivered with the
printer, and whether they will ease the task of managing the device. Lastly, think about ease of use. Are the user interfaces, both the
front panel and print driver, well designed and easy to navigate?
Installation
Easy installation starts with unpacking the device and ends when it’s powered up and
ready for use. The Phaser 3600 laser printer is easily removed from its packaging, and
features a compact footprint that’s well suited for placement within easy reach on a
user’s desktop. The included quick install guide helps install optional accessories, con-
nect the printer to your network (if applicable) and a power source, and power-up the
device. When connected to your network, the printer will automatically be assigned an
IP address and join the network via DHCP (other protocols can be set at the front panel).
Device settings such as language selection and feature setup are completed either at the
front panel or via remote management software like Xerox CentreWare
®
Internet Services
(CentreWare IS) or CentreWare
®
Web.
Driver deployment
Xerox includes an installation CD that features an easy, wizard-based driver-installation
process. If preferred, print and scan drivers can also be easily downloaded from the
Xerox website.
