Xerox Extensible Interface Platform (EIP)
Xerox Extensible Interface Platform (EIP) allows independent software vendors and partners to
develop personalized and customized document management solutions that can be integrated
and accessed directly from the printer’s control panel. These solutions can leverage existing printer
infrastructure and databases. Examples of applications include ScanFlow Storeâ„¢, Xerox Scan to PC
Desktopâ„¢, Equitrac Officeâ„¢, and others. For more information on EIP applications for your printer,
contact your Xerox Service Representative or see www.office.xerox.com/eip/enus.html on the
Xerox website.
Enabling Extensible Services
Before you begin:
• Ensure that a digital certificate is installed on the printer. For details, see Installing a Digital
Certificate on page 56.
• Xerox recommends that you enable HTTP (SSL). For details, see Secure HTTP and SSL/TLS on
page 59.
Note: After installing a certificate and enabling HTTP (SSL), restart your Web browser. If you do
not restart your browser, a certificate error message will prevent you from accessing the Properties
tab in CentreWare IS.
Enabling Extensible Service Registration
1. In CentreWare IS, click Properties > General Setup > Extensible Service Setup.
Note: If Extensible Service Setup does not display, the custom services software file was not
installed correctly or the installation failed.

3. Select Extensible Services and click Apply.
Note: Other services are enabled by default.
4. Click OK.
5. Under Browser Settings, select Enable the Extensible Services Browser if necessary.

Enable Extensible Services, select Export password to Extensible Services.

configure proxy server settings. To configure proxy settings, under Proxy Server select Use
Proxy Server.

and HTTPS. Select Different Proxy for Each Protocol to enter separate server addresses for
HTTP and HTTPS.
