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.

The Xerox

Mobile Express Driver

is your way out of mobile printing hassles. Instead of

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

Express Driver

is a

single driver and interface that lets you easily connect to and print with

almost any printer, Multi-function device, or production device that supports standard PostScript.

his installation guide gives you the information you need to get the most out of the Mobile

Express Driver.

How Is the Mobile Express Driver

Different from Other Print Drivers?

The Mobile Express Driver

differs from traditional and global print drivers in that it configures

your print driver at the time that you print, rather than when you install the driver. Instead of

associating itself with a particular printer, The Mobile Express Driver

discovers all of the network

printers available to your computer, and then lets you choose the printer you want. Before you

make your choice, the Mobile Express Driver

can show you details about each printer (or other

device) it found so that you can select the one with the features needed for your print job. For

most network connected devices, the Mobile Express Driver

then automatically configures its

interface to match the features of the printer you selected. For more information about your

specific device, see the white paper at www.xerox.com/mobile.

hen you select a printer, the Mobile Express Driver

saves your choice in a My Printers list. The

next time you return to a location, you do not need to remember anything about the printer you

used the last time. Instead, the Mobile Express Driver

stores that printer and offers it to you

instead of making you wait while it goes through the printer discovery process again.

nce you have chosen a printer, the Mobile Express Driver

provides a single interface that you

use to manage printer settings. If you are connected to a newer Xerox

printer, the interface lets

you access all of the print features that you are used to. With other printers, you may only be

able to access basic printer functions.

Printers

While the Mobile Express Driver

lets you print using almost any printer, there can be some

differences between the features you can use with the Mobile Express Driver

and the features

available with a traditional print driver.

•

If you are printing on one of the most recent Xerox

inters, you will see the same print

interface you are used to, and you can use all of the printing features you are accustomed to

having.

•

If you are printing on an older Xerox

printer or on a non-Xerox

printer that supports

standard PostScript, only basic printer functions will be available. In most cases, you will be

able to use more features on a newer printer than on an older one.
