6 Xerox WorkCentre 5325/5330/5335 Evaluator Guide
Section 1: Evaluating Multifunction Printers
Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying a fleet of copier/printers and multifunction printers
throughout your organization is a potentially time-consuming, complicated
process.
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.
How the WorkCentre 5300 series
multifunction printer exceeds
the installation and deployment
requirements:
Installation
The WorkCentre 5300 series multifunction
printer offers a small and compact footprint
at 23.5 x 25.1 x 43.9 inches (w x d x h), which
means the device fits even in offices where
space is at a premium. The compact design
was achieved with an inner catch tray and by
reducing the size of sub-modules such as the
scanner unit. You can even add basic finishing
capabilities with the space-saving Integrated
Office Finisher without increasing the overall
footprint.
When you choose Xerox, you can rest assured
that your equipment will be delivered
and installed to your specifications and
expectations. The WorkCentre 5300 series
multifunction printer comes standard with
10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet connection, with
features including automatic IP addressing,
device naming, and Ethernet speed sensing
to provide simple and automatic network
installation. Management and system setup can
be accomplished through a variety of means,
including easy wizard-based processes found
within Xerox
®
CentreWare
®
Web. Features such
as cloning enable multiple-device installation
onto networks with identical settings,
eliminating the need to set up each system
individually.
Deployment
With the WorkCentre 5300 series multifunction
printer, print and scan drivers can be deployed
centrally, thereby eliminating the need for
desk-to-desk manual installation of the
driver software. CentreWare Web wizards are
provided to aid in the processes of installing,
troubleshooting and upgrading users’ print
and scan drivers. Driver support is delivered
for Windows (Server 2003, 2008 / XP SP3 and
higher/ Vista / 7), including most operating
systems with 32- and 64-bit drivers; Macintosh
OS 10.5 and above; and multiple UNIX and
Linux platforms.
Plus, the WorkCentre 5300 series device will
support two innovative print drivers that
can greatly simplify installing, managing
and supporting printers and multifunction
printers on the network, and increase end-user
productivity:
• Xerox
®
Mobile Express Driver
®
(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) 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.
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 need for IT resources.
