Color Multifunction Printers
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 ColorQube™
9201/9202/9203 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 ColorQube 9201/9202/9203
multifunction printer comes standard
with 10/100/1000Base-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 networks with identical settings,
eliminating the need to set up each
system individually.
Deployment
With the ColorQube 9201/9202/9203
multifunction printer, 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 2003/2008/
XP/Vista/7), including most operating
systems with 32- and 64-bit drivers;
Macintosh OS 10.3-10.5; and multiple
UNIX and Linux platforms.
Deployment of multiple units is
simple with the ability to "clone"
network configurations.
Plus the ColorQube 9201/9202/9203
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 capability 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 administrators 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
support 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 consumables status without
the assistance of IT. To learn more, and
