Color Multifunction Printers
Evaluate Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying a fleet of 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 7775
multifunction printer exceeds
the installation and deployment
requirements:
Installation
When you choose Xerox, you can rest
assured that your equipment will be deliv-
ered and installed into your environment
to your specifications and expectations. All
network-enabled configurations include an
embedded 10/100/1000 Base-TX 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
accomplished through a variety of means,
including the easy, wizard-based process
found within Xerox CentreWare
®
Web.
Additionally, the WorkCentre can integrate
with third-party management applications
like Unicentre
®
TNG, IBM
®
Tivoli
®
Net-
View
®
, Microsoft
®
Management Console,
and HP WebJetAdmin. Cloning capabilities
allow fleets of devices to be installed with
identical settings, eliminating the need to
set up each system individually.
Deployment
With the WorkCentre 7775, print and scan
drivers can be deployed centrally, thereby
eliminating the need for IT staff to per-
form desk-to-desk manual installation of
the driver software. In many cases, exist-
ing Xerox drivers on your network can work
with your new hardware, 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 7775 supports two
innovative new print drivers that can
greatly simplify installing, managing and
supporting printers and multifunction
devices 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 automati-
cally discovers available printers and
provides status and capability informa-
tion. 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 consis-
tent, 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
assistance of IT. To learn more, and
