Installing and Configuring Xerox Print Drivers

Other Related Topics...

Installing and configuring Xerox print drivers is required for printing out faxes on the Xerox system, the FaxPress Xerox Interface workstation and the workstations of all users who will be printing faxes, fax notifications, or other documents on the Xerox system.

Installing Xerox Print Drivers

To install the Xerox print drivers, follow these steps:

1. Insert the Xerox CentreWare print and fax driver CD into a CD-ROM capable drive on your workstation. The CD will be labeledCentreWare Print and Fax Drivers (version number will vary).
2. The CentreWare welcome screen requires you to select your language and click OK.
3. Select the Print & Fax Drivers option.
4. Click Install Your Windows Print Driver.
5. In the Printer Installation Utility window, select the appropriate language option.
6. In the Xerox Printer Installation Utility, select the Configuration tab.
7. Select your Xerox system from Select Printer pull-down menu.
8. Select the print driver for this printer from the Choose Driver pulldown menu.
9. Click the Connection button to open the Connection dialog box. Enter the IP address of the Xerox system, then click OK.
10. In the Configuration tab, check the checkbox to the left of your printer in the list box, as shown. Click the Install button to install the driver.

To configure the installed driver, continue with the next section of this chapter.

Configuring the Xerox Print Driver

To configure the Xerox Print driver after installing it on the FaxPress Xerox Interface workstation or a user’s workstation, follow these steps:

1. From the Windows desktop, open your Printer Settings:

                  Start>Settings>Printers

2. In the Printers window, right-click on the Xerox system icon and select Properties.
3. In the Xerox system Properties window, click the Printing Preferences button to open the Printing Preferences window.

Typically, the default settings work for most environments, with one exception. If Network Accounting is enabled on your Xerox WorkCentre Pro, you must specify the default User ID and the System ID in the Device Settings tab (Accounting>Setup) of the printer driver properties. If your situation requires special settings, make them with caution. Castelle recommends leaving the advanced options set to their defaults unless you’re certain the changes will work without disrupting the system.

4. Click OK to save your changes.
5. Test the printer from the workstation, and test printing a fax or fax notification.

To set up the Xerox system so it prints faxes and/or fax notifications in special colors see the next section.

Setting Up Paper Colors on the Xerox System

The FaxPress Xerox Interface supports the use of more than one paper color for printing. This feature would, for example, allow one color paper to be used for fax print-outs, and another color to be used for fax notices. This procedure assumes that you have 2 trays with different colored paper in your Xerox system and also requires the FaxPress Xerox Interface service is configured and running.

To set up your print drivers for multiple paper colors, follow these steps:

1. For each special paper color, create an extra local print driver for your Xerox system on your FaxPress Xerox Interface workstation, using the procedure in Installing and Configuring Xerox Print Drivers.
2. Rename the extra printer drivers for each color. For example, if you have a driver you want to use for Red paper, first choose

                  Start>Settings>Printers

3. In the Printers window, select the new driver you have created and add RED to the name; so Xerox WorkCentre Pro 35 PCL6 would become Xerox WorkCentre Pro 35 PCL6 RED.
4. Rename each of the drivers for the different colors in this way.
5. Open the Properties window for each driver, then click the Printing Preferences button to open the Printing Preferences window.
6. Set the paper color for the driver as shown. Click OK in the Preferences screen, and OK in the Driver Properties screen.
7. Next, open the FaxPress Xerox Interface configuration utility (Start>Programs>FaxPress>Add On Products>Xerox Interface>Configuration).
8. In the User Map tab, select a user, for example, Xerox1, then click the Edit button. This step and those that follow require that you have installed the FaxPress Xerox Interface software. See Installing the FaxPress Xerox Interface Software for details.
9. In the User to Email address Mapping dialog box you can set up each printer setting for Print Incoming Fax and Print Outgoing Fax notification with a different print driver.
10. To set the RED driver for Incoming faxes, click the Printer Setting button for Print Incoming fax. Then choose the driver that ends in RED from the Printer Name pull-down menu and click OK. See the procedure in Configuring the FaxPress Xerox Interface for details.
11. Repeat this procedure for the other color driver, this time clicking the Printer Setting button for Print outgoing fax notification.

Incoming faxes and outgoing fax notifications will now print out on different colored paper.
