6 Xerox WorkCentre 7120 Evaluator Guide
Section 1: Evaluating Color
Multifunction Printers
Installation and Deployment
Installing and deploying a fleet of copier/printers and multifunction printers
throughout your organization is a potentially time-consuming, complicated
process. The process isn’t limited to physically placing the units in their new
environments, but also includes integrating the devices with the existing network
infrastructure. Also consider the process required to deploy printing and scanning
services to your users, and how automated that process can be.
How the WorkCentre 7120
multifunction printer exceeds
the installation and deployment
requirements:
Installation
The WorkCentre 7120 multifunction printer
offers a small and compact footprint at
23 x 25.2 x 44.6 inches (w x d x h), which
means the device fits even in offices where
space is at a premium. The compact design
was achieved with an inner catch tray and
by reducing the size of sub-modules such
as the scanner unit. You can even add
basic finishing capabilities with the space-
saving Integrated Office Finisher without
increasing the overall footprint.
When you choose Xerox, you can
rest assured that your equipment
will be delivered and installed to your
specifications and expectations. The
WorkCentre 7120 multifunction printer
comes standard with 10/100Base-TX
Ethernet connection, with features
including automatic IP addressing, device
naming, and Ethernet speed sensing to
provide simple and automatic network
installation. Management and system
setup can be accomplished through a
variety of means, including easy wizard-
based processes found within Xerox
CentreWare Web. Features such as
cloning enable multiple-device installation
onto networks with identical settings,
eliminating the need to set up each
system individually.
Deployment
With the WorkCentre 7120 multifunction
printer, print and scan drivers can be
deployed centrally, thereby eliminating the
need for desk-to-desk manual installation
of the driver software. CentreWare
Web wizards are provided to aid in the
processes of installing, troubleshooting
and upgrading users’ print and scan
drivers. Driver support is delivered for
Windows (Server 2003, 2008 / XP SP1
and higher/ Vista / 7), including most
operating systems with 32- and 64-bit
drivers; Macintosh OS 10.4 and above; and
multiple UNIX and Linux platforms.
Plus, the WorkCentre 7120 device will
support* two innovative new print drivers
that can greatly simplify installing,
managing and supporting printers and
multifunction printers on the network, and
increase end-user productivity:
• XeroxMobileExpressDriver(X-MED)
makes it easy for mobile users to find,
use and manage Xerox and non-Xerox
devices in every new location. Plug into a
new network, and X-MED automatically
discovers available printers and provides
status and capability information. Save a
list of “favorite” printers for each location,
store application print settings for use on
any printer in any network, and greatly
reduce mobile support calls to IT.
• XeroxGlobalPrintDriver(X-GPD)isa
truly universal print driver that lets IT
administrators install, upgrade and
manage Xerox and non-Xerox devices
from a single driver. It provides a
consistent, easy-to-use interface for
end-users, reducing the number of
support calls, and simplifying print
services management.
In addition, these drivers provide users
with a consistent single interface for all
printers, with real-time, dynamic reports of
printer status. As a result, users can easily
identify the best printer for their needs,
quickly choose the correct options and see
updated consumables status without the
need for IT resources.
