Printer Utilities
In addition to using the printer’s front panel or the options in a supported driver, the
printer’s utility files offer another method for changing the way the printer operates.
Some utility files control print features, such as the default color correction. However,
printer features that are selected from a printer driver override utility file settings as well
as front panel settings.
Utility files are located on the:
■
Printer’s CD-ROM
■
Xerox web site
■
Phaser hard drive (if a hard disk is installed on your printer)
Utility files on the printer’s CD-ROM
