How the Xerox
®
Phaser
®
7500
printer exceeds the deployment
requirement:
Installation
The Phaser 7500 printer is designed to be set
up and installed by non-technical users. Supplies
come pre-loaded, and the included quick install
guide helps install optional accessories, connect
the printer to your network and a power source,
and power-up the device. The printer will
automatically be assigned an IP address and
join the network via DHCP (other networking
protocols can be set at the front panel). Device
settings, such as language selection and feature
setup, are completed either at the front panel
or via remote management software like Xerox

CentreWare
®
Web or CentreWare Internet
Services (CentreWare IS). Simply enter the
Phaser 7500 printer's IP address into your
web browser to access CentreWare IS.
For IT administrators in Mac environments,
peace of mind comes from knowing that Xerox
®
printers and MFPs are the devices of choice for
more Mac users than any other brand of office
equipment. The Phaser 7500 is no exception,
providing full compatibility with the latest Mac
operating system, OSX 10.6 (“Snow Leopard”).
Driver Deployment
With the Phaser 7500 printer, print drivers can
be deployed centrally, thereby eliminating
the need for IT staff to perform desk-to-desk
manual installation of the driver software.
CentreWare Web wizards are provided to aid in
the processes of installing, troubleshooting and
upgrading print and scan drivers for employees,
freeing up IT personnel for more pressing
projects. Driver support is delivered for Windows
(2000 / Server 2003 / XP / Vista / 7), including
most operating systems with 32-and 64-bit
drivers; Macintosh OS 10.3 and higher; and
multiple UNIX and Linux platforms.
Section 1: Evaluating Tabloid/A3 Color Printers
Deployment, Management and Ease of Use
Installing printers can be challenging, whether in a large organization or
small office. The process includes integrating the devices into your existing network
infrastructure and deploying print drivers to users’ computers. Evaluate whether the
driver installation process can be automated. Also, evaluate the management tools
delivered with the printer, and whether they will ease the task of managing the device.
Lastly, think about ease of use. Is the device simple to operate, and will users quickly
feel comfortable using it? Are the user interfaces, both the front panel and print driver,
well designed and easy to navigate?
