Evaluate Ease of Installation, Management and Use Deploying a printer can be challenging, whether in a large organization or small office. The process may include integrating the printer into your existing network infrastructure and deploying print drivers to users' computers. Evaluate whether the driver deployment process can be automated. Also, evaluate the tools delivered with the printer, and whether they will ease the task of managing the device. Lastly, think about ease of use. Will users quickly feel comfortable operating the printer? How the Phaser 3250 laser printer exceeds the ease-of-installation requirement Initial set up Easy set up starts with unpacking the device and ends when it's powered up and ready for use. The Phaser 3250 laser printer is easily removed from its packaging and, at just over 26 lbs., can easily be moved into place by one person. The included quick install guide helps install the print cartridge and optional accessories, load paper, connect the printer to your computer via USB 2.0 (3250D configuration) or to your network via Ethernet (3250DN configuration), and power-up the device. If connecting to your network, the printer will automatically be assigned an IP address and join the network via DHCP, and device settings such as language selection and feature setup are completed via remote management software like Xerox CentreWare® Internet Services (CentreWare IS). Driver deployment Installing print drivers onto users' computers is a simple process. Simply insert the Phaser 3250 installation CD and follow the prompts. Or, networked users can enter the printer's IP address into any standard web browser and download and install print drivers using the Phaser 3250 CentreWare IS page.
