Overview

CentreWare Internet Services

CentreWare Internet Services (CentreWare IS) provides access to the printer embedded Web server. It
enables you to easily manage, configure, and monitor network printers using a Web browser on a
network computer. CentreWare IS gives administrators access to printer status, configuration, security
settings, and diagnostic functions. It also provides access to special printing functions such as printing
saved jobs.
CentreWare IS enables you to:
• Check supplies status from your computer, saving a trip to the printer. Access job accounting
records to allocate printing costs and plan supplies purchases.
• Define a network printer search and view a list of printers using Printer Neighborhood. The list
provides status information and allows you to manage printers independent of network servers
and operating systems.
• Configure printers from your computer. CentreWare IS makes it easy to copy settings from one
printer to another.
• Set up and use a simple Web-browser-based printing system. Standardized, frequently used
documents can be saved as a group with their original driver settings. The documents can then be
reprinted from a Web browser. A printer with a hard drive is required to support these functions. In
some printer models, a DX configuration is required to support these functions.
• Troubleshoot print-quality problems using built-in diagnostics.
• Define a link to your local Web server support page.
• Access online manuals and technical support information located on the Xerox website.
Note: CentreWare IS requires a Web browser and a TCP/IP connection between the printer and the
network (in Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX environments). TCP/IP and HTTP must be enabled in
the printer. JavaScript is required to access the pages in Printer Neighborhood. If JavaScript is
disabled, a warning message appears and the pages might not function properly.
