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.
After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the dr iver
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 flexib le
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.
