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.
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.
Print and Fax Driver Overviewix
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 NT/2000/XP drivers when Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher is installed
on your workstation.
NOTE:
will vary slightly depending on the operating system and model.

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, 2000, or XP
environment, you can choose between enhanced and standard view by making your
selection on the Device Settings tab.

Types of Printer Drivers
The CentreWare printer drivers are available in PostScript 3, PCL 5e, 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.

Installing Windows Printer Drivers
The CentreWare printer drivers support the special features and functions of Xerox
systems, enabling fast, efficient printing from your desktop. Installation instructions
for all current Windows environments are provided in this chapter.
The minimum hardware requirements for the CentreWare printer drivers vary
based on the specific printer driver you are installing. At the most, you will need
14 MB of available hard disk space for any of the CentreWare Windows printer
drivers.
Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher installed on the workstation for NT, 2000, and
XP drivers using Enhanced view.
Xerox Windows Driver Installer
The Xerox Windows Driver Installer consists of two utilities: the Xerox Printer
Configuration Utility and the Xerox Printer Installation Utility.
These utilities require:
Administrator privileges in NT/2000/XP
Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher
Microsoft TCP/IP Printing installed and running to connect Peer To Peer in a
Windows NT environment
Service Pack 2 installed on Windows 2000 systems
Service Pack 4 installed on Windows NT systems
1-2Installing Windows Printer Drivers
Network Print Configurations
Peer To Peer
In a Peer To Peer environment, a printer driver is installed on a workstation that is
connected to a printer. The printer driver resides only on the workstation. In this
setup, workstation users maintain their own printer defaults and configurations,
allowing different printer settings for each user.
Through a Network Print Server
In a network print server environment, a printer driver is installed on a server and
shared with other servers and workstations on the network. The printer driver is
downloaded to the workstation from the server. In this network setup, a Network
Administrator generally maintains the printer defaults and configuration.
Network Print Configurations1-3
Installing Printer Drivers on Windows
Networks
You have three ways to install a Xerox printer driver and other components in
Windows environments.
Direct Installation
Use the Xerox Printer Installation Utility to install Xerox printer drivers quickly and
easily for your network printers. If you are a system administrator or user who has the
CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD or knows the network location where the
contents of the CD has been saved, you can configure settings for several printer
drivers at one time and install the drivers directly onto a PC or print server.
Distributed Installation
Copy the contents of the CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD to your network. (See
Locating Installation Files on the CD on page 1-38.) Then open the Xerox Printer
Configuration Utility, set up a configuration file, and distribute a packet of installation
files containing the configuration file to users to install the printer drivers on their
PCs. (See Distributed Installation on page 1-13 to perform a distributed installation.)
Point and Print Installation
Copy the contents of the CentreWare Print and Fax Drivers CD to your network. You
can then install the drivers locally, modify the device settings and document settings
(Preconfiguring Default Driver Settings (Windows NT/2000/XP) on page 1-27) and
copy them to the server for enterprise use (Point and Print Installations on page
1-26).
1-4Installing Windows Printer Drivers
Direct Installation
With the Xerox Printer Installation Utility, you can configure and install printer
drivers with a Peer To Peer connection or through a network print server connection.
In an NT/2000/XP environment, you need administrator rights to run the Xerox
Printer Installation Utility. To install drivers onto a network server you must run the
Xerox Printer Installation Utility at the network server. You cannot install the drivers
remotely.
Direct Installation with a Peer To Peer Connection
