Evaluate Ease of Installation, Management and Use
Deploying a printer can be challenging, whether in a large organization or small office. The process may include integrating the
printer into your existing network infrastructure and deploying print drivers to users' computers. Evaluate whether the driver deploy-
ment process can be automated. Also, evaluate the tools delivered with the printer, and whether they will ease the task of managing
the device. Lastly, think about ease of use. Will users quickly feel comfortable operating the printer?
How the Phaser 3250 laser printer exceeds the ease-of-installation requirement
Initial set up
Easy set up starts with unpacking the device and ends when it's powered up and ready for
use. The Phaser 3250 laser printer is easily removed from its packaging and, at just over
26 lbs., can easily be moved into place by one person. The included quick install guide
helps install the print cartridge and optional accessories, load paper, connect the printer
to your computer via USB 2.0 (3250D configuration) or to your network via Ethernet
(3250DN configuration), and power-up the device. If connecting to your network, the
printer will automatically be assigned an IP address and join the network via DHCP, and
device settings such as language selection and feature setup are completed via remote
management software like Xerox CentreWare
Driver deployment
Installing print drivers onto users' computers is a simple process. Simply insert the Phaser
3250 installation CD and follow the prompts. Or, networked users can enter the printer's
IP address into any standard web browser and download and install print drivers using the
Phaser 3250 CentreWare IS page.
