ENTREWARE PRINT AND FAX DRIVERS GUIDE

Welcome to CentreWare Printer Drivers

for Macintosh

The CentreWare printer drivers enable printing from a Macintosh workstation to a
Xerox system in a network environment. They contain a variety of feature options
that enable you 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 5.50 provides enhanced support for the WorkCentre Pro (WCP) models:
WCP 55/45/35, WCP 90/75/65, and WCP 40/32 Color.

1-2 Installing Macintosh Printer Drivers

Understanding the Printer Driver/PPD Options

A PostScript Printer Description (PPD) file is a readable text file that provides a
uniform approach for specifying special features for printer drivers that interpret
PostScript. Generic PPDs do not support all of the special features of Xerox systems,
but can be used to enable all basic features and many advanced PostScript printing
capabilities.

Xerox Custom Printer Driver and PPD

A custom printer driver/custom PPD is available for each supported Xerox system.
Using these printer drivers and PPDs enables you to take full advantage of the custom
print options available for your Xerox system. When you install the custom printer
driver on a workstation, the custom PPD is also installed.

Generic PPD

A generic PPD is also available for each supported Xerox system. The generic PPD is
provided for the convenience of those users who don’t want to install an additional
driver on their systems or who want to printer using the Adobe PostScript 8.x or the
Apple LaserWriter 8.x printer drivers. Keep in mind that the generic PPDs support
limited print options, such as stapling, duplexing, adjusting image quality, and
resolution. They do not enable you to use some of the special print options supported
in the custom driver, such as printing transparencies, banner pages, or covers.

N

:

OTE

Do not use the generic PPDs with the Xerox custom driver. They should

only be used in conjunction with the Adobe PostScript 8.x printer driver or the
Apple LaserWriter 8.x printer driver.

Custom Printer Driver Installation

The Xerox installation program installs the custom printer driver and PPD. The
following table lists the custom Macintosh printer driver installation file for each
Xerox system in this release. The printer drivers are located in separate folders within
