Getting Started

The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Xerox’s MFP driver package for using your machine with a Linux computer.

Xerox’s MFP driver package contains printer and scanner drivers, providing the ability to print documents and scan images. The package also delivers powerful applications for configuring your machine and further processing of the scanned documents.

NOTES:

•It’s also necessary to claim swap partition of 300 MB or larger for working with large scanned images.

•The Linux scanner driver supports the optical resolution at maximum. Please refer to the scanner and copy section of Specifications in your Printer User’s Guide.

•You can check your printer name in the supplied CD- ROM.

After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package allows you to monitor a number of MFP devices via fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. The acquired documents can then be edited, printed on the same local MFP or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or transferred to an external OCR system.

The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You don't need to search for additional components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all required packages will be carried onto your system and installed automatically; this is possible on a wide set of the most popular Linux clones.
