How the WorkCentre
®
7525 /
7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556
multifunction printer exceeds
the installation and deployment
requirements
Installation
When you choose Xerox, you can rest assured
that your equipment will be delivered and
installed into your environment to your
specifications and expectations. All network-
enabled configurations include an embedded
10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection with
innovative features like auto IP addressing,
device naming, and Ethernet speed sensing to
provide simple and automatic installation on
networks. These features make the WorkCentre
quick and easy to get up and running.
Management and system setup can be accom-
plished through a variety of means, including
the easy, wizard-based process found within
Xerox
®
CentreWare
®
Web. Additionally, the
WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 / 7545 / 7556
can integrate with third-party management
applications like Unicentre
®
TNG, IBM
®
Tivoli
®
NetView
®
, Microsoft
®
Management Console,
and HP WebJetAdmin. Cloning capability allows
fleets of devices to be installed with identical
settings, eliminating the need to set up each
system individually.
Deployment
With the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 /
7545 / 7556 multifunction printer, 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. In many cases, existing Xerox drivers
on your network can work with your new hard-
ware, potentially saving the step of updating
your users’ driver software altogether. Again,
wizards are provided within CentreWare Web to
aid in installing, troubleshooting, and upgrading
your users’ driver software, freeing up your IT
staff for more pressing projects.
Plus, the WorkCentre 7525 / 7530 / 7535 /
7545 / 7556 multifunction printer supports two
innovative new print drivers that can greatly
simplify installing, managing and supporting
printers and multifunction devices on the net-
work, and increase end-user productivity:
• Xerox
®
Mobile Express Driver
®
(X-MED) makes
it easy for mobile users to find, use and man-
age 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 loca-
tion, 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 adminis-
trators 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

Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying a fleet of multifunction printers
throughout your
organization is a potentially time-consuming, complicated task. 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.
