Evaluate Installation And Deployment - Xerox WorkCentre 7425 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 7425/7428/7435 multifunction device 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. The WorkCentre 7425/7428/7435
device comes standard with 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connection, 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 net-
works with identical settings, eliminating the need to set up each system individually.
Deployment
With the WorkCentre 7425/7428/7435 multifunction device, 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 personnel 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 7425/7428/7435 device 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 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.

CentreWare Web provides easy,
wizard-based setup and administra-
tive assistance.
