Mobile Express Driver
®
(X-MED).
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”
printers 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).
X-GPD
is a truly universal print driver that lets IT
administrators install, upgrade and manage
Xerox and non-Xerox devices from a single
driver. It provides a consistent, easy-to-use
interface for end-users, reducing the number
of support calls, and simplifying print services
management.

CentreWare

software.
Xerox
®
CentreWare Web management software
is a powerful device-management solution
for IT. The free software eases the chore
of installing, configuring, managing,
monitoring and pulling reports from the
networked printers and MFPs throughout an
enterprise, regardless of their manufacturer.
Xerox also addresses enterprise asset
management through compatibility with
network management tools for Sun, Novell
®
,
Microsoft
®
and other environments. The
WorkCentre 5800 series also includes
CentreWare Internet Services (CWIS), an
embedded web server that allows employees
and IT personnel to perform detailed status
checks on the system and consumables,
administer system settings, and manage
access and accounting controls via any
standard web browser. Bidirectional print
drivers. The WorkCentre 5800 series includes
CentreWare
®
print drivers, which feature
clear, graphical user interfaces that provide
for easy, intuitive interaction with the
multifunction printer. The drivers provide
immediate desktop access to all WorkCentre
output functions. The drivers also provide
bidirectional information, indicating device
and job status, currently loaded paper sizes
and types, and installed options – so there is
no need to consult other software to obtain
such information. Easy-to-understand icons
access the most commonly used functions,
such as paper selection and document
finishing. Plus with the Saved Settings feature,
frequently used print job parameters can be
stored for reuse.

technology constantly monitors the
WorkCentre 5800 series’ easy-to-change
critical components to predict and prevent
downtime.

Copier Assistant
®
.
This software
allows easier access to the copying
capabilities of Xerox
®
multifunction devices.
An alternative to the standard touchscreen,
Xerox
®
Copier Assistant software helps
everyone, especially people who are
wheelchair users, blind or visually impaired,
easily program copy jobs and make copies
using text-to-speech technology, screen
magnification software and easy keyboard
access to copying features using tab, arrow,
function and hot keys.
Reliability
Office productivity relies on tools that do their
jobs day in and day out. Consider how often
you need to intervene to replace paper or other
consumables or to clear jams. How easy is
that intervention, and how long is the device
typically down? If outside assistance is required,
how easy is it to schedule and how long do you
have to wait? Is the device a reliable network
citizen? Has it been tested and certified by
independent industry participants?
•
Simple paper paths and a minimum of
moving parts.
This mean there is very little
that can go wrong. Any paper jams or misfeeds
that do occur are all accessed from the front
of the machine, making these easy issues for
users to resolve without calling the IT Help
Desk. Most components that wear out over
time can simply be replaced without a service
call. You’re up and running without delay.
•
Easy-access Smart Kit customer
replaceable units.
This includes Fuser
Modules, Xerographic Modules and
Feeder Rolls.
•
Sophisticated service delivery.
Building
on the reliability that is engineered into the
WorkCentre 5800 series, Xerox has trained
and developed a service delivery network that
helps you maintain your equipment, address
equipment issues you may encounter and
train you and your users on how to get the
most out of your equipment.
Illuminated Paper Path
The WorkCentre 5845/5855 features an
illuminated paper path, which makes user
access even easier.
