Using Your Printer in Linux
You can use your machine in a Linux environment.
Getting Started
The supplied CD-ROM provides you with the Xerox MFP driver package for
using your machine with a Linux computer.
The Xerox 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 the
scanned documents.
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.
