Section 1: Evaluating Workgroup Multifunction Printers
Evaluate Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying a fleet of 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 5700 Series
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 expecta-
tions. Network-enabled configurations include a
10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet connection with
features including automatic IP addressing,
device naming, and Ethernet speed sensing to
provide simple and automatic network instal-
lation. 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, eliminat-
ing the need to set up each system individually.
Deployment
With the WorkCentre 5700 Series devices, 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 person-
nel for more pressing projects. Driver support
is delivered for Windows (Server 2003 / XP /
Vista), including most operating systems with
32- and 64-bit drivers; Macintosh OS 10.3 and
above; and multiple UNIX and Linux platforms.
Plus the WorkCentre 5700 Series supports 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” print-
ers 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 administra-
tors install, upgrade and manage Xerox
®
and non-Xerox
®
devices from a single driver.
It provides a consistent, easy-to-use inter-
face 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. To learn more, and

The innovative Mobile Express
Driver makes mobile printing
easy — on both Xerox
®
and
non-Xerox
®
devices.
