Configuring Printer Drivers 2-17
Configuring Printer Drivers
To use the CentreWare printer drivers most effectively, configure the drivers to reflect options available
on the Xerox system. You can configure the drivers in one of the following ways:
„
Preconfigure standard device and document settings in the driver prior to distributing them for
installation.
„
Configure installable options directly at a workstation.
Preconfiguring Default Driver Settings
You may want to standardize the default settings for the Windows printer drivers before making them
available for installation on individual workstations. There are two categories of driver settings that you
can preconfigure:
„
Device Settings—refers to installable options such as a High Capacity Feeder or a Finisher,
accounting options, etc.
„
Document Settings—refers to document options, such as a banner sheet, portrait or landscape
orientation, PostScript options, etc.
This preconfiguration process involves copying the printer driver files from the CentreWare Print and
Fax Services CD to a server installation directory, installing a driver on a workstation, selecting the
default device and document settings that you want to establish, saving those settings in the driver, and
copying the configuration file to the installation directory on the server to overwrite the previous
defaults.
To modify the driver default settings:
1 At a workstation, insert the CentreWare Print and Fax Services CD into the CD-ROM drive. The
AutoRun program displays the available selections.
–or–
If the AutoRun is disabled on your workstation, open My Computer and double-click the CD-ROM
drive. Double-click install.exe. The AutoRun program displays the available selections.
2 If necessary, chose a language and click OK.
N OTE : This capability is not available for Windows 98 drivers.
N OTE : This process can be performed in both Windows and non-Windows network environments
(such as NetWare). To minimize impact to the server or potential down-time, first preconfigure an
individual workstation. After completing the preconfiguration process at the workstation, copy the files
to the server for distribution.
