Printing Files

You can print many different types of files on the MFX-3050 using the standard CUPS method - directly from

the command line interface. The CUPS lpr utility allows you do that. But the drivers package replaces the standard lpr tool by a much more user-friendly LPR program.

To print any document file:

1Type lpr <file_name> from the Linux shell command line and press Enter. The LPR GUI window appears.

When you type only lpr and press Enter, the Select file(s) to print window appears first. Just select any files you want to print and click Open.

2In the LPR GUI window, select your printer from the list, and change the printer and print job properties.

For details about the properties window, see page 36.

3Click OK to start printing.

Scanning a Document

You can scan a document using the Unified Driver Configurator window.

1Double-click the Unified Driver Configurator on your desktop.

2Click the button to switch to Scanners Configuration.

3Select the scanner on the list.

Click your scanner.

When you have only one MFP device and it is connected to the computer and turned on, your scanner appears on the list and is automatically selected.

If you have two or more scanners attached to your computer, you can select any scanner to work at any time. For example, while acquisition is in progress on the first scanner, you may select the second scanner, set the device options and start the image acquisition simultaneously.
