Print and Fax Driver Overview
A print and fax 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.
viii
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.
Integrated fax capabilities vary with each Xerox system. Not all Xerox printers
support both network printing and LAN fax submitted from the desktop. Check your
product-specific literature for more details. Other network fax options can be
configured with different models, using third-party software applications.
CentreWare Printer Drivers
There are two kinds of views for CentreWare printer drivers:
Enhanced view
Standard view
Enhanced View
Printer drivers in enhanced view display the feature options on tabs within the driver.
These printer drivers are designed specifically for Xerox products. CentreWare
drivers in enhanced view are available for Windows 9x workstations. They are also
available for NT4/2000/XP drivers when Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher is installed
on your workstation. Please note that the driver graphic is representative. Driver
options and mimics will vary slightly depending on the operating system and model.
Printer Driver—Enhanced View
CentreWare Printer Driversix
Standard View
Printer drivers in standard view conform to the Microsoft Windows driver standards.
The options are displayed in tree form, which is generic across many software
products. With CentreWare printer drivers in a Windows NT 4, 2000, or XP
environment, you can choose between enhanced and standard view by making your
selection on the Configuration tab.
Printer Driver—Standard View
x
The CentreWare printer drivers are available in PostScript 3, PCL 5e, PCL 5c, and
PCL 6 (XL) printing formats.
PostScript
PostScript gives you greater ability to scale and manipulate images; it offers more
precision with high-end 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.
