Printer Driver Overview
A printer driver makes documents created with specialized software applications (word processing,
spreadsheets, graphics) compatible with a specific printer. Each type of printer requires unique
commands to print correctly and to enable special features. For these reasons, different types of printers
require their own printer drivers to operate correctly.
With CentreWare printer drivers, you can print from your workstation to a Xerox system in a network
environment. CentreWare drivers contain a variety of feature options that you can use to customize your
print jobs.
Types of CentreWare Printer Drivers
The CentreWare printer drivers are available in PostScript 3, PCL 5c, and PCL 6c printing formats.
PostScript
PostScript gives you greater ability to scale and manipulate images; it offers more precision with highend graphics. PostScript also provides you with different types of error-handling and font substitution
options.
PCL
PCL (Printer Command Language) generally has fewer advanced features than PostScript. However,
using PCL enables you to process most jobs faster.

Use the Xerox Printer Driver Installation utility to install Xerox printer drivers for your network printers
quickly and easily. If you have the
where the contents of the CD have been saved, you need only run the installer once per Xerox system to
install the drivers for multiple page description languages (PDLs) directly onto a PC or print server.
NOTE: You can use the Add Printer Wizard to install Xerox printer drivers, but you must install each
driver separately.
Custom Installation
System administrators can use the Admin Config Wizard to pre-configure the driver installation. Use this
wizard to control settings such as printer detection method, default printer assignment, and network
printer sharing. Set multiple installation configurations to distribute and apply the settings to individuals
or groups, as appropriate.

See Customizing the Installation on page 2-8 to
Point and Print Installation
Copy the contents of the CentreWare Print and Fax Services CD to your network. Install the drivers
locally and modify the device settings and document settings (
Settings on page 2-17). Then copy the new configurations to the server for enterprise use (see Point and
Print Installations on page 2-16).
NOTE: It is possible to upgrade a Windows driver without uninstalling the previous version. However,
the impact of such an upgrade on system performance can be unpredictable. The most reliable way
to upgrade is to uninstall the old drivers and perform a clean installation of the new ones. For
information on uninstalling drivers,

Installing Printer Drivers on Windows Networks2-3
Direct Installation
You can install the CentreWare printer drivers from the CD, from network location, from a URL, or
intranet address.
NOTE: After you start the installer, it detects the operating system of the server or workstation. If that
operating system does not meet the product requirements, the installer issues a message and exits.
This behavior would occur, for example, if you attempted to install drivers housed on a Windows 2000
server onto a client running Windows 3.1.

Considerations for Enterprise Technologies
Large organizations, or organizations with specialized requirements for security, reliability, or remote
access frequently employ technologies that impact the installation process. This section briefly describes
two technologies that CentreWare printer drivers support—clusters and Citrix MetaFrame—and the role
of the Add Printer Driver Wizard in preparing these environments for successful printer definition.
Clustering
Clustering is a technology that configures two or more servers ("nodes") to behave as one. Each node has
access to a storage medium (the "cluster") that houses the supported application or data.
Clustering is usually employed to improve fault tolerance or to implement load balancing. Typical
applications of clustering are applications or functions that require virtually uninterrupted service, such
as production report generation in many manufacturing environments, where one server failure could
have repercussions throughout the supply chain.
Print servers are one of many possible applications of clustering. Others include Web services, ftp
services, file management, and even managing some aspects of Active Directory.
When a cluster houses a print server, only the print spooler folder resides on the cluster. The printer
drivers reside on the nodes in their standard locations. When one node fails, printing continues using the
drivers that are present on a surviving node. Should that node lack the appropriate drivers, consequences
range from a lack of access to advanced driver features to a complete inability to print.
To ensure consistent printer availability in a cluster, use the Add Printer Driver Wizard (see Add Printer Driver Wizard on page 2-15) to install the same printer drivers on all nodes in a cluster before adding the
printer to the cluster itself.
NOTE: Xerox recommends this practice even on the Windows Server 2003 cluster management
products that have an "Automatic Quorum Feature." This is to ensure that damaged or corrupt driver
files are not passed from one node to another should failover occur.
Citrix MetaFrame
Citrix MetaFrame provides centralized application management and distribution to an enterprise.
Applications that are published to users from a Citrix server have a single point of installation and
maintenance, simplifying administration. Desktop hosting capabilities offer access to current operating
platforms and applications to users running a wide range of hardware and operating systems, while
providing administrators increased control.
A Citrix server can be configured to "auto-create" a printer or printers when a Windows client logs in.
This procedure makes the client’s Windows printers available within a Citrix session. If the appropriate
drivers do not reside on the Citrix server, the Citrix server substitutes a "universal" driver. The user can
still print, but many of the features associated with CentreWare printer drivers, such as accounting or
booklet creation, are unavailable.
To prevent this, install the CentreWare drivers (See Add Printer Driver Wizard on page 2-15) on a Citrix
server (or on all members of a Citrix server farm) before clients that use local printers based on these
drivers log in.

clients and attach the clients to queues.
2-16Installing Windows Printer Drivers
Configuring Printer Drivers
To use the CentreWare printer drivers most effectively, configure the drivers to reflect options available
on the Xerox system. You can configure the drivers in one of the following ways:
Preconfigure standard device and document settings in the driver prior to distributing them for
installation
NOTE: This capability is not available for Windows 98 drivers.
Configure installable options directly at a workstation.
Preconfiguring Default Driver Settings
You may want to standardize the default settings for the Windows printer drivers before making them
available for installation on individual workstations. There are two categories of driver settings that you
can preconfigure:
Device Settings—refers to installable options such as a High Capacity Feeder or a Finisher,
accounting options, etc.
Document Settings—refers to document options, such as a banner sheet, portrait or landscape
orientation, PostScript options, etc.
This preconfiguration process involves copying the printer driver files from the CentreWare Print and
Fax Services CD

About Bi-Directional Printer Drivers
With Bi-Directional communication, a printer driver communicates with the printer through the
network.With Bi-Directional communication, a printer driver communicates with the printer through the
network. The Windows NT / 2000 / XP / Server 2003 printer drivers can provide Bi-Directional
capabilities for TCP/IP networks.
After an initial setup procedure, Bi-Directional communication automatically updates the printer driver
with the printer’s installed options and reports specific information about the printer’s operational status,
active jobs, completed jobs, and paper status in your Xerox system.
NOTE: If network communication is temporarily unavailable or is not configured properly for the
printer, the network, or your workstation, the Bi-Directional information does not appear.
Status Dialog
The Status dialog shows the status of the Xerox system as well as specific information about its print
jobs. Check the status of up to 25 jobs currently in the print queue or verify the status of completed jobs.
Use this dialog to check the properties of the paper loaded in different paper trays on your printer and
also the current paper levels in those trays. You can also use this dialog to verify that your printer is
functioning properly.

Printer Driver Features
With the CentreWare printer drivers, you have an invaluable tool to save time and increase your
productivity. These drivers offer over thirty-five feature options, depending on the type of driver and the
installable finisher options, for you to choose how your document will look and print.
The Help system is the primary source for information about using the printer drivers. At any time, you
can access the Help system through the Help buttons on the driver.
Through the Help system, you also have access to quick-reference cards about printer driver features.
They were developed so that you can print and post them for a handy reference.
The driver arranges the features on the following tabs: Paper/Output, Special Pages, Image Options,
Layout/Watermark, and Advanced.
Figure 3-1: Printer Driver Interface
The features on the tabs are organized for your convenience with the most frequently used features
available when you open the driver. Small icons are placed next to the features so that you can quickly
find the features you want. By clicking on the icon you can go through the list of options for that feature.
Or, use the drop down list to see the options.
When chosen, certain features constrain other features. For example, if you set the Finishing
Summary to Collated, Booklet Fold
Sided Print option changes, and 2 Sided Print displays in gray. When you click the icon, a pop-up

Problem Solving
Application, device, and network errors can occur in a variety of printing situations. In many cases,
simply restarting the application, the workstation, or the printer will resolve the problem. This chapter
includes some of the common problems and Frequently Asked Questions that pertain to CentreWare
Printer Drivers and printing to your Xerox system.
When a problem persists, document the error messages and gather information to define the problem.
The following problem-solving procedures are recommended:
Accurately define the problem. When, where, and how does the problem occur?
Reproduce the problem. Can the problem be reproduced consistently or is it an intermittent problem?
Ask other users if they have encountered the problem, and keep a log to track problem occurrences.
Examine the data for trends and the common attributes that may be related to the problem. For
example, does the problem occur only with a specific printer or on a specific workstation/network
configuration?
Review the product documentation, including the README files and problem solving topics, to see
if any similar problems are documented.
If a cause and solution to the problem cannot be identified, call the Xerox Welcome Center to report the
error information. Provide the support representative with the documentation that you have gathered to
define the problem.
6-2Problem Solving
Common Issues
This section discusses some common application and printer driver functionality issues.
Adobe Acrobat Printing
All versions of Adobe Acrobat have exhibited various forms of distorted output when printing from a
PCL driver. Stray lines, random character spacing, and data loss have been observed on various PDF
documents. A CentreWare PostScript driver is recommended for printing Acrobat PDF files.
Booklet and Multiple-Up (N-Up) Printing
Some applications do not support booklet or N-up printing.
Microsoft Word mail merge documents cannot be printed as booklets or N-up.
You may need to reset the Booklet or N-Up settings before you save your documents. Some
applications, such as Microsoft Word 97, will save the scaling setting with the document. When the
document is reopened later, the text and graphics may print in a reduced format unless you reset the
N-Pages Up option on the printer driver Layout/Watermark tab to 1-Up prior to printing. It is
generally best to reset this option to 1-Up before you save and close your documents.
N-up and booklet printing features may not work properly with Corel Draw version 8.
Use PCL Raster mode to print large N-Up/Booklet documents that do not print properly in Vector
mode.
Euro Symbol
The Xerox Euro font family was created to support the imaging of the Euro currency symbol with fonts
that do not yet support this character. The Xerox Euro font family consists of the Euro symbol in various
styles and weights designed to work in conjunction with the most popular font styles. Many styles
include a symbol at numeric width, which conforms to the standard design rules of the Euro symbol, as
well as a designer version of the character, created to more closely resemble the original font. To use the
symbol, set the font selection to Xerox Euro and type the keystroke that corresponds to the type style you
are using.
Xerox Euro Fonts are provided on the CentreWare Print and Fax Services CD within the
...\Windows\Fonts folder.
Additional information and font installation instructions are available through the Internet on the
Xerox Web site at
download a system update for the Euro symbol.
NOTE: Free product updates for Windows 98 / Me / NT and Windows 2000, enable users to input
and display the Euro symbol in applications that are Euro symbol-enabled.
If the fonts on your printer are not updated to include the Euro, a box will be printed instead of the
Euro symbol. A workaround for this problem is to send Euro fonts to the printer as bitmapped
images.
www.xerox.com. Windows 95/98/Me users should go to the Microsoft Web site to
For PCL drivers, select the Always Send to Printer option in the CentreWare PCL driver when
printing the Euro symbol. If problems persist when printing the Euro symbol, select the Send as
Graphics option.
Common Issues6-3
PDF Printing
When printing a PDF, sending a large file may result in the printing of print limit check error sheets
or only a banner sheet. If this occurs, print the PDF file using the PostScript printer driver or try
printing the PDF file using LPR.
Windows 98 / Me PCL5c printer drivers have occasional problems with some PDF files, resulting in
blank characters and incorrect fonts within the printed documents.
Microsoft Applications
Excel
To change the job type options for any individual document, you must set the job type from within
Microsoft Excel (Page Setup dialog). Job type changes for an individual document will not take
effect if you invoke the CentreWare printer driver from the Printers folder.
Excel will generate multiple print jobs instead of multiple copies of a single document. This
behavior can result in performance degradation, as well as inoperability of features, such as Sample
Set, which depend on multiple set printing. In Excel, deselect the Collate option. This allows the
driver settings to collate correctly.
Excel may have occasional problems with documents that contain a mix of portrait and landscape
pages. Selecting a different printer driver, then reselecting the original printer driver may help to
resolve this problem.
PowerPoint
The Microsoft PowerPoint feature that optimizes black and white printing will produce undesired results
when Raster output is selected as the Graphics Mode in the CentreWare PCL printer driver. Do not
choose the black and white option in PowerPoint if Raster output is required.
Word 6.0
If you access the printer drivers through Microsoft Word Version 6.0, any changes made to the
printer driver settings will be saved as the new default settings. This will impact all applications that
use the same printer driver.
Custom paper sizes will not work with Microsoft Word Version 6.0. This version of Word will
automatically change any custom paper size defined in the CentreWare printer driver to the nearest
standard paper size.
Word 6.0 may ignore some printer driver setting changes when the driver is opened from Word and a
file is printed immediately after the changes are made. If this occurs, it may be necessary to close
and reopen the Print dialog within Word (File > Print).
PCL Printer Driver
Raster Mode
Use the PCL Raster Mode option to print the following document types with the PCL5c printer driver:
Web pages with animated images
Printing Corel Draw documents. Corel Draw may generate an excessive number of Vector
commands, which may result in large amounts of processing time for each job.
6-4Problem Solving
Print Colored Text in Black
This feature may not work with some applications, or you may have to select the option from within the
application if it is supported. Certain applications, such as WordPerfect and MS Publisher, always print
text as graphics or may default to the graphics mode when memory is low or when the text is very
complex. When these circumstances occur, the Print Colored Text in Black feature in the CentreWare
PCL printer drivers will not work.
Sample Set Not Supported in FrameMaker
Some applications generate print data that is intended for page printers rather than document printers,
like the WorkCentre Pro and WorkCentre series. When the print data is sent in this format, both the
WorkCentre Pro and the WorkCentre will print the first set of a Sample Set job, but the remaining sets of
the document will be discarded. There is no known workaround for this problem.
Watermarks
The Watermark preview image in the printer drivers may not provide an exact replica of the printed
watermark under all conditions. This is primarily due to font and/or resolution differences between the
display monitor and the printer. Using equivalent TrueType fonts instead of printer resident fonts will
help minimize the differences.
With some applications, the CentreWare PCL drivers may appear to print watermarks in the foreground
even when the background printing option is selected in the driver. This is due to the different methods
that applications use to send data to the printer.
WordPerfect
If you encounter problems stapling multiple jobs as separate documents with WordPerfect 8.x, install
the service pack available for WordPerfect at www.corel.com to correct the issue.
Sample Set job types will not work with WordPerfect 8.x for Windows.
B4 JIS, B4 ISO, B6, and A6 paper sizes do not print with WordPerfect 8.x for Windows.
The scaling option in WordPerfect versions 7, 8, and 9 will override the Reduce/Enlarge option in
the CentreWare drivers. Use the scaling option in the Print/Customize property sheet to adjust
scaling rather than the CentreWare printer driver Reduce/Enlarge option.
With WordPerfect 6.1, the Playbill font may not print correctly when the Use Printer Fonts option is
selected because the printer does not support the Playbill font.
