Evaluate Installation And Deployment - Xerox WorkCentre 5687 Evaluator Manual

Evaluate Installation and Deployment

Installing and deploying a fleet of copier/printers and multifunction devices 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 5600 Series exceeds the installation and deployment requirements:
Installation
When you choose Xerox, you can rest assured that your equipment will be delivered
and installed to your specifications and expectations. Network-enabled configurations
include 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connection (WorkCentre 5665, 5675 and 5687 models)
or 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet connection (WorkCentre 5632, 5638, 5645 and 5655
models), 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 5600 Series devices, 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. CentreWare Web wizards are provided to aid in the processes of installing,
troubleshooting and upgrading print and scan drivers for employees, freeing up IT person-
nel for more pressing projects. Driver support is delivered for Windows (Server 2003 / XP /
Vista), including most operating systems with 32- and 64-bit drivers; Macintosh OS 10.3
and above; and multiple UNIX and Linux platforms.
Plus The WorkCentre 5600 Series support 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 automatically discovers available printers and provides status and capabil-
ity 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 administra-
tors 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 sup-
port 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 consum-
ables status without the assistance of IT. To learn more, and download X-GPD and X-MED
