Installing the Software

Before you install the print driver software, verify that the printer is plugged in, powered on,
connected correctly, and has a valid IP address. The IP address usually appears in the upper right
corner of the control panel. If you cannot find the IP address of your printer, refer to
Address of Your Printer.
Note: If the Software and Documentation disc is not available, download the latest drivers
from www.xerox.com/office/ALC81XXdrivers.
After you install the print driver software, you can configure printing preferences and default settings
for the print driver. For more information, refer to Printing.
Printing settings for the device, such as banner pages and Page Description Language options, are
configured using the Embedded Web Server. To configure printing settings, contact your System
Administrator or refer to the System Administrator Guide at www.xerox.com/office/ALC81XXdocs.
