To install a printer using Xerox Smart Start, follow these steps:

1. Download the XeroxSmartStart.exe file from the Xerox support web page for your specific printer model.

2. Run the XeroxSmartStart.exe file. Note that you will need to have administrator privileges to run the installer.

3. Agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA) presented during the installation process.

4. Xerox Smart Start will automatically scan for available printers on your local network. If your printer is detected, it will be listed.

5. Select the printer you want to install from the list and choose either Quick Install or Advanced Install.

- Quick Install: This option will automatically install the appropriate drivers based on your operating system and printer model. Note that it does not install scan drivers.

- Advanced Install: This option allows you to choose the print system, driver PDL (PostScript, PCL6, or PCLm), scan driver options, and printer name. Xerox Smart Start will provide recommendations for the best print experience.

6. If your printer is not listed, select "Don't See Your Printer" and enter the printer's hostname or IP address to search for it.

7. Once you have selected the installation options, click "Install" to start the installation process.

8. After the installation is complete, Xerox Smart Start will display a confirmation screen. You can choose to install another printer or exit the installer by selecting "Done". You also have the option to print a test page.

Note: If you are installing an offline printer, follow the same steps mentioned above. If Xerox Smart Start cannot find the printer, it will prompt you to install an offline printer. Choose your printer model and select either Quick Install or Advanced Install to proceed with the installation. However, please note that Xerox Smart Start cannot install scan drivers for offline printers.
