Installing the Xerox Print and Scan Experience App is simple. In many cases, the app will be downloaded for you automatically when Windows detects your printer and installs the drivers for the first time. However, if you don’t have the app, it can be easily downloaded from the Microsoft Store, either through your web browser or the dedicated store app on your machine.

Once installed, you’ll be able to access the additional features made available the Xerox Print and Scan Experience app by clicking “More Settings” from the print pane of any Windows Store compatible app—which is likely to be just about any application you’re using. Once you’ve clicked the more settings button, you’ll be presented with additional print options.

Alternatively, you can also launch the app by itself, which also provides a series of useful features discussed below. To do this, simply click the start menu button and search for the app if you don’t immediately see it. Generally, just typing in the word “Xerox” is enough to pull it up. Click on “Xerox Print and Scan Experience” when you see it.

With the Xerox Print and Scan Experience App, just a few of the things you can do include:

  • Scan documents with additional configuration tweaks
  • Perform direct PDF print submissions
  • Check the job status of a print task and view detailed information
  • Configure your print device

So, what devices are supported by the Xerox Print and Scan Experience app? Any Xerox printer with the “V4 print architecture.” This is basically fancy terminology to describe the series of printers which share the same feature set and are compatible on Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows Server 2012 operating systems and later.

You can confirm your device eligibility by reviewing the Xerox V4 Print and Scan overview document from Xerox, searching for your device, and finding it on the list. If your device isn’t listed, it may be time for an upgrade.
