Using CentreWare Software

CentreWare Internet Service (IS)

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 enables you to:

■

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
configuration tasks.

CentreWare IS requires only a web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and
the network (in Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX environments). TCP/IP and HTTP must be
enabled in the printer.

For complete information about CentreWare IS, see the

CentreWare IS Online Help.
