Many of the settings that follow are specific to the printer driver in use for each device.  Anytime you're not seeing what is described here, use the Apply button to make your last changes effective, then look again.

Printer driver: Xerox Global Print Driver (X-GPD)

On all Xerox devices, and some basic HP LaserJets, we are using the latest Xerox Global Print Driver PS (PS = PostScript), with its ability to dynamically detect the printer's features using Bi-Directional communication (via SNMP).  Therefore, the first settings to check are that Bi-Di is on, the model was detected correctly, and the printer features were detected correctly.  On the Configuration tab, except for the WorkCentre 7132 model, under the Bi-Directional Setup button, make sure Communication: is set to Automatic, the Refresh Rate is 2.0 minutes, and Job Notification is Off.  If these are not correct, make these changes and use the Apply button, and then continue.  On the Options tab, except for the WorkCentre 7132 model, under Device Options, Configuration: the model should have been detected correctly.  If so, back on the Configuration tab, choose the Installable Options button to see what features were detected; these will be grayed out, because Bi-Di is on and so these features are detected automatically. 

...

The second place you have to check/set all these printer defaults is the Printing Preferences button on the General tab.  These should now match what you set as the Printer Defaults form the Advanced tab; if not, fix them.
