Xerox - CPA 1.0

Follow these steps to install the first-generation Control Panel Application (CPA) on Xerox printers.

Installation Instructions

Ensure all of the universal requirements are completed and functional prior to CPA setup.

Additional Port Information

Installation Steps

If the Version field does not appear in the interface, the manufacturer does not support CPA 1.0. You will need to follow the appropriate CPA 2.0 topic.

  1. In the Admin Console tree structure, select a printer.
  2. Select the Apps tab.
  3. In the Manufacturer field, select the desired manufacturer.
  4. In the Version field, select CPA 1.0.
  5. Select Save
  6. Select Install Application on Printer.
  7. The CPA Installer downloads and generates a modal requesting the credentials for the printer web interface.
  8. Enter the credentials and select Install.

CPA 1.0 does not require a Service Client to install the CPA. The Service Client drop-down on the Apps tab is only used when installing Copy/Scan Tracking on a printer.

Copy/Scan Tracking

Copy/Scan Tracking uses SNMP to track and report the number of copies and scans on a supported multi-function printer. The Print Job Records report provides details on the number of scans and copies on the selected printer for auditing and reporting purposes.

The Service Client drop-down field and Install Copy/Scan Tracking on printer setting on the printer object's Apps tab are separate from the CPA v1 installation. Reference the Copy/Scan Tracking topic for prerequisites and steps.
