    Set up your printer in just a few clicks — no stress, no fuss



    No more missing drivers, complex files or endless installations. With Xerox® Smart Start, setting up your printer is as fast as it is intuitive.

    Whether you’re a first-time user or an experienced administrator, Smart Start automatically detects your devices, selects the correct drivers, and guides you through each step — no technical expertise required.

    In just a few minutes, you’re ready to print or scan, entirely on your own.





    What Xerox® Smart Start offers you



    A hand holds a stack of wooden blocks, each engraved with a business icon: a person, a target, a money bag, a magnifying glass, gears, and a lightbulb, representing various benefits and solutions.



    A tool designed for non-technical users… and for experts too.



    • Automatic installation of the appropriate drivers for your system (Windows 10 & 11).
    • Intelligent detection of available printers on the network or via IP address.
    • Quick or advanced mode depending on your technical level.
    • TWAIN/WIA compatibility for scanning (via advanced installation).
    • Native support for Microsoft Type 3, Type 4 and IPP systems.
    • Simplified updates for existing drivers.





    Who is it for? For what needs?



    A person is seated at a desk, looking at a laptop with a Xerox C325 multifunction printer beside it. In the background, two other people are also working at their desks in a bright office environment.



    • Everyday user: not sure which driver to choose? Launch “Quick Install” and let Smart Start do the work for you.
    • System administrator: choose the advanced installation, select your drivers and PDLs (PostScript, PCL6, PCLm), add scanning modules, and customise print queues.
    • IT-free environment: Smart Start enables all employees to install their device independently.



    How does it work?

    Download and run the .exe file.

    1. Read and accept the terms of use.
    2. Automatic detection of printers on the local network, or enter IP/hostname manually.
    3. Choose your install mode:
      1. Quick Install → automated setup
      2. Advanced Install → manual selection of drivers and options
    4. Complete setup and print — with or without a test page.



    With the Xerox® Quick Link app, one email is all it takes:

    • The printer sends a personalised download link.
    • The installer detects the device’s network address.
    • You start installation without searching for the printer.





    What are the main benefits?



    Two people seated at a desk, facing away from the camera, perform a fist bump, symbolizing teamwork and successful collaboration. One is looking at a computer screen.



    • Simplicity for all: one tool for installing, updating and managing devices.
    • Time-saving: saves time for users and IT teams — no need for manual setup. Everything is automated, guided and secure from the first launch.
    • Security & control: privilege elevation only when needed (with admin badge via Windows UAC).
    • Advanced options for professionals: 
      • PDL selection: PostScript, PCL6, PCLm
      • Choice of Microsoft Type 3, Type 4 or IPP
      • Add-on tools: Xerox Print & Scan Experience, Desktop Print Experience
      • Choice of scan driver installation
    • Simplified updates: Smart Start detects your printers and suggests newer drivers when available.
