The Fleet Orchestrator feature allows you to configure many devices in similar ways, automatically. After you configure one device, you can distribute any of the configuration settings to other devices, as needed. You can set up schedules to share configuration settings regularly and automatically.

The Fleet Orchestrator feature enables you to share the following types of configuration files:

  • Clone files: A clone file contains configuration settings from a device. When you install a clone file on another device, the clone file changes the configuration settings to match the settings on the cloned device. For details, refer to Clone Files

  • Software upgrade files: A software upgrade file contains the latest firmware for the device. Xerox releases upgrades when needed. For details, refer to Software Upgrade Files

  • 1-Touch Add-On files: A 1-Touch Add-On file adds workflows to a device without overwriting existing apps or workflows. For details, refer to 1-Touch Add-On Files

    Note: For devices having the Fleet Orchestrator feature installed:

    • You can share clone files across different models of Xerox AltaLink multifunction printers. Devices can be on the same or different versions of system software.

    • You can share software upgrade files across devices that use the same upgrade file only.

    • You can share 1-Touch Add-On files to devices on the same or a higher version of system software. Due to feature changes, it is not guaranteed that 1-Touch Add-On files can be shared to devices on a lower version of system software.

    • If you are sharing all types of files, install the software upgrade file first, followed by the clone files, then the 1-Touch Add-On files.

For details on this feature:

  • Continue to Automatic File Sharing.

  • In the Embedded Web server, click Properties > Fleet Orchestrator, then click Learn More.

    Note: Fleet Orchestrator is an optional feature. It is possible that Fleet Orchestrator is not appropriate for some enterprises or situations.
