Section 2: Evaluating Color Laser Printers
Evaluate Installation
Setup and installation are the fi rst steps customers must take before realizing
the benefi ts of adopting a high-performance color printer.
Is the printer easy to
set up and connect to your network? Are print drivers installable by your employees,
and are there fl exible installation methods for large and small organizations, or for
organizations with specifi c requirements?
How the Phaser 6360 exceeds
the installation requirement:
Printer Setup
The Phaser 6360 ships with easy-to-follow,
graphic-based instructions on how to remove
the printer from its packaging, assemble
it and prepare it for printing. Printer setup
is straightforward: The Phaser 6360 ships
with preinstalled toner cartridges, so the
only consumable to install is the all-in-one
imaging unit. Once the printer is plugged
into power and attached to your network,
it will automatically be assigned an IP
address by your network — you’ll be ready
to install print drivers and start printing.
Print Driver Installation
The Phaser 6360 print driver installation
process is designed to provide an easy and
consistent installation process from all soft-
ware sources, regardless of platform. The
Phaser 6360 print driver installation process
can be initiated from multiple locations:
• Phaser 6360 Installation CD
• CentreWare IS Embedded Web Server
• Xerox.com download
The wizard-based driver installation pro-
cess offers you three methods for selecting
the printer you want to install:
• Use Xerox Walk-Up
®
Technology
(default) — It doesn’t get easier than
this. The installation application will
direct you to go to the Phaser 6360
you want to install. On the printer front
panel, simply select “Walk-Up Features”
and “Select for Installation,” and the rest
of the process is completely automated.
You don’t need to know the printer name
or its IP address.
• Select from the Following Discovered
Printers — If you know the name of the
printer you want to install, select it from
the list of discovered printers, and that
printer will be installed.
• Enter Printer’s IP address — If you know
the IP address of the printer you want
to install, enter it here, and that specifi c
printer will be installed.
The Phaser 6360 printer driver installation
application automatically discovers what
printer confi guration you are installing—as
well as the presence of features like two-
sided output and additional paper trays —
and makes it available in your print driver.
For small organizations, this automated
installation process makes it easy for your
employees to install their print drivers with
or without IT assistance. For larger orga-
nizations, the IT department can simply
send an email to end users with a link to
CentreWare IS or the Xerox.com website,
enabling them to launch the print driver
installer and follow the same simple instal-
lation process.
