CentreWare MC (Microsoft Management Console)
CentreWare MC allows IP discovery of printers equipped with an embedded web server. The embedded
web server in Xerox printers is called CentreWare Internet Services.
For installing or managing multiple printers on a Windows NT 4.x (Service Pack 6 or higher) or
Windows 2000/XP network with the TCP/IP protocol enabled, you can use the Xerox CentreWare MC
snap-in to Microsoft Management Console. Refer to the
Xerox CentreWare MC User Guide
on the
Advanced Printer Management Tools CD-ROM
.
CentreWare Internet Services
CentreWare IS is a printer administration and support tool using web technology. With CentreWare IS
software, you can access printer status and manage your printer over a TCP/IP network using a web
browser.
CentreWare IS gives you the following capabilities:
Receive printer status and manage printers, independent of network servers and operating systems.
Define a link to your local web server’s support page.
Access online manuals and technical support information by using built-in links to the Xerox web
site.
CentreWare IS provides an easy-to-use, consistent interface that you can use for most of the
configuration tasks described throughout this guide.
CentreWare IS requires only a web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the
network (in Windows/Macintosh/UNIX environments). (TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in the
printer.)
For complete information on using CentreWare IS, see the CentreWare IS online help.
CentreWare Web
CentreWare Web is a multi-vendor printer management, installation, and troubleshooting application
that can remotely manage, install, and troubleshoot printers on your network using a web browser.
Printers are found through network or print server discovery and managed over TCP/IP networks using
RFC-1759 SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
Some of the features provided by CentreWare Web:
Ability to remotely add ports, queues, and drivers to Windows 2000/XP and NT4.x SP6 print
servers.
Install, troubleshoot, upgrade, and clone wizards to aid all users in preforming administrative
tasks.
Install CentreWare Web on a server for availability to all clients on the network that have Internet
access with a browser.
Support multiple users and provide for different levels/privileges of user access, such as
administrators or guests.
Discover printers on local and remote subnets.
