Xerox Network Scanning WIA Configuration
Purpose
This document contains the procedure to configure the Xerox multifunction device and
user workstations to enable network scanning using the WIA (Windows Image
Acquisition) driver. Microsoft has no plans to add this functionality to operating systems
older than XP.
Background
The Xerox WIA driver for Microsoft® Windows XP® provides users with a method to
quickly scan jobs at the Xerox multifunction device and retrieve the images at their PC
desktop. The WIA driver enables scanning without the use of a scan server. For system
administrators familiar with the creation of scan templates via CentreWare Internet
Services, the WIA driver automatically creates a scan template on the Xerox device that
points to a folder on the Windows XP workstation.
Configuring the Xerox multifunction device for network
scanning using the WIA Driver
(For WCP 232/238/245/255/265/275; WC 7655/7665; WC 4150 devices only. For all
others, proceed to the driver installation instructions on page 4.)
To enable WIA scanning on the Xerox multifunction device there are a number of items
that need to be configured for this functionality to work. They are:
• Creation of a device digital certificate
• Enabling of the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol
• Scan Template Management enabled

4. On the configuration report verify that within the:
• TCP/IP Settings section that TCP/IP is Enabled, with an existing Host Name
and IP Address.
• HTTP Setting section that HTTP is Enabled.
Retain the Configuration Report as the IP address will be used in subsequent steps.
Creation of a Device Digital Certificate
To enable SSL on a device, it needs to have its own digital certificate. When clients make
a request to the device, it exports the certificate to provide an encrypted channel.
There are two options available to obtain a server certificate for the device:
• Have the device create a Self Signed Certificate
▬ A self signed certificate means that the device signs its own certificate as
trusted and creates the public key for the certificate to be used in SSL
encryption.
• Create a request to have a Certificate Authority sign a certificate that can be
uploaded to the device
▬ A certificate from a Certificate Authority or a server functioning as a
Certificate Authority can be uploaded to the device.
A
A separate request is required for each device.
The Internet Services Machine Digital Certificate Management screen allows you to
choose your method to create a new certificate.

1. Open your Web browser and enter the TCP/IP address of the WorkCentre in the
