The supplied CD-ROM provides you with MFP Driver package for using your machine with a Linux computer.

After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package allows you to monitor a number of machine devices via fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously.

The MFP Driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program.

Installing the MFP Driver

1Make sure that you connect your machine to your computer. Turn both the computer and the machine on.

2When the Administrator Login window appears, type in root in the Login field and enter the system password.

NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the printer software. If you are not a super user, ask your system administrator.

3Insert the printer software CD-ROM. The CD-ROM will automatically run.

If the CD-ROM does not automatically run, click the icon at the bottom of the desktop. When the Terminal screen appears, type in:

If the CD-ROM is secondary master and the location to mount is /mnt/cdrom,

[root@localhost root]#mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom [root@localhost root]#cd /mnt/cdrom/Linux [root@localhost root]#./install.sh

If you still failed to run the CD-ROM, type the followings in sequence:

[root@localhost root]#umount/dev/hdc

[root@localhost root]#mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom

NOTE: The installation program runs automatically if you have an autorun software package installed and configured.
