Page 9 highlights

EVALUATE USER FRIENDLINESS User friendliness starts when the printer arrives at your office and carries through to your ongoing dayto-day experience. Most small businesses have limited access to IT resources, so it's important that the color printers you adopt are easy to set up, install and manage. Print drivers need to offer easy access to key features and be intuitively organized. Lastly, when troubleshooting is required, you should have access to strong tools to minimize downtime and maximize productivity. HOW THE XEROX PHASER 6180 EXCEEDS THE USER FRIENDLINESS REQUIREMENT: Setup and Installation Once the Phaser 6180 is unpacked and in place, the installation process is simple and automated. Plug in the power and connectivity cables, and turn on the printer. The Phaser 6180 will automatically connect to your network. Then, using the included installation CD, step through the wizardbased print driver installation process to connect your computer to the Phaser 6180. In as few as four clicks, you'll be connected and printing. Day-to-Day Management Xerox provides a set of tools and utilities to ease  the ongoing management and administration of the  Phaser 6180. Whether you manage a single  Phaser 6180 or a group of networked printers and  multifunction products (MFPs), Xerox delivers  utilities that make your life easier. • Xerox CentreWare® Internet Services (IS) -  CentreWare IS is an embedded web server that allows you to connect to the Phaser 6180 via any standard web browser. With CentreWare IS, you can monitor printer status, view the print job queue, manage settings and properties, and access troubleshooting and support resources. • Xerox CentreWare® Web Network Management Utility - Companies that have multiple printers and MFPs connected to their networks can install, view monitor device status,  configure, track usage and troubleshoot from their computer via one convenient and  powerful web application. Additionally, the interoperability of CentreWare Web means  you can manage your non-Xerox devices as well. Print Drivers The Phaser 6180 print drivers are intuitively organized to offer quick access to the most commonly used features,  with easy tab-based access to the complete feature set.  The default Paper / Output tab offers features like job type, paper size, paper type, 2-sided print settings, paper tray, image orientation and output color. More in-depth image options, layout options, and advanced settings are available via other tabs. PHASER 6180 Eva l ua t or Guide 7
