About the Xerox® Mobile Express Driver®
Introduction
If you are a mobile professional or anyone else who has to print documents at several different
locations—at multiple work sites, for example, or at school and at home—you know how much
trouble it can be to get connected to a new printer. Either you have to install and configure a new
print driver yourself, or you have to wait until someone else has the time to set up the driver for
you. If you print at a lot of places, your computer quickly gets cluttered with print drivers.

needing multiple drivers and having to get used to a variety of printer interfaces, the Mobile
