CENTREWARE 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.
NOTE: 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.
