3-4 Printer Driver Features
Default Tabs
These driver tabs are accessed through the Printers folder and may be available only with administrative
rights. From the desktop select Start > Settings > Printers (Windows 2000) or Start > Printers and
Faxes (Windows XP / Server 2003 / Vista). Right-click on the printer icon and select Properties from
the menu. The printer driver dialog appears. Driver settings from this dialog become the default settings.
All of the General Tabs from your application’s print dialog are available, as well as some other tabs
such as the Configuration tab and the Device Settings tab.
The Configuration dialog contains several buttons (depending on your Xerox system model): Bi-
Directional Setup, Installable Options, Accounting and About. Each button opens a dialog to configure
your driver.
 Bi-Directional Communication allows you to enable bi-directional communication. You will then
receive information through the driver about your print job, Xerox system, and paper status.
See
About Bi-Directional Printer Drivers on page 2-19.
 Installable Options lets you manually configure the driver with the number of paper trays and
installable options - such as finishers - available on your Xerox system.
 Accounting lets you set up the driver to use accounting features. See the Accounting topic in the
printer driver Help for more information.
 About shows the driver version number. Xerox personnel may request this number during support
calls.
The Device Settings tab contains features that relate to font settings and PostScript settings.
Driver Help System
The Help system is the primary source for information about using the printer drivers. Each driver tab
has a Help button for easy access to the Help system. Through this Help button you can view information
on any feature on that tab or any other tab.
