Introduction

ColorQube 9301/9302/9303 Multifunction Printer will produce high-quality prints from your electronic
documents. However, the advanced print features of this machine will enable you to create
professionally finished documents at the click of a button.
For example, you can:
• Publish your prints as booklets
• Put covers onto your prints
• Automatically staple or hole punch
• Produce sets of transparencies with dividers ready for a presentation, and many more features
that will take the strain out of printing.
You access the printer from your computer
application using a print driver. A print driver
converts the code in an electronic document
into a language that the printer can
understand. You can use generic print drivers
on this printer, but these will not enable all
features. Therefore, it is best to use the print
drivers that accompany this printer.
There are a number of print drivers available for this printer to enable use on most computer operating
systems. These drivers are provided on a disc with your printer, or you can download the latest versions
from the Xerox website, www.xerox.com/office/CQ930Xdrivers.
Instructions for installing the ColorQube 9301/9302/9303 Multifunction Printer and print drivers are
provided in the System Administrator Guide.
