Installing Printer Drivers on Windows Networks

In Windows environments, you can install a Xerox printer driver by using a direct installation, a custom
installation, or a Point and Print installation.

Direct Installation

Use the Xerox Printer Driver Installation utility to install Xerox printer drivers for your network printers
quickly and easily. If you have the CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD or know the network location
where the contents of the CD have been saved, you need only run the installer once per Xerox product to
install the appropriate drivers for multiple page description languages (PDLs) directly onto a PC or print
server.
N :
You can use the Add Printer Wizard to install Xerox printer drivers, but you must install each
OTE
driver separately.

Customized Installation

System administrators can use the Admin Config Wizard to pre-configure the driver installation. Use this
wizard to control settings such as printer detection method, default printer assignment, and network
printer sharing. Set multiple installation configurations to distribute and apply to users or groups as
appropriate.
Copy the contents of the CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD to your network. (See Locating
Installation Files on the CD on page 2-25.) Then start the Admin Configuration Wizard to set up a
configuration file. (See Customizing the Installation on page 2-8 to perform a customized installation.)

Point and Print Installation

Copy the contents of the CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD to your network. Install the drivers
locally and modify the device settings and document settings (see Preconfiguring Default Driver
Settings (Windows NT / 2000 / XP / Server 2003) on page 2-16). Then copy the new configurations to the
server for enterprise use (see Point and Print Installations on page 2-15).
N :
It is possible to upgrade a Windows driver without uninstalling the previous version. However,
OTE
the impact of such an upgrade on system performance can be unpredictable. The most reliable way
to upgrade is to uninstall the old drivers and perform a clean installation of the new ones. For
information on uninstalling drivers, see Uninstalling Windows Printer Drivers on page 2-26. Additional
information on uninstalling and upgrading drivers is available in the Customer Tips portion of
www.xerox.com.
