Upgrading the Client Software for Other MFPs
Upgrading the MFP client software is optional for the other MFPs. For these devices, Kofax
Document Exchange Server 2.5 is backward-compatible with earlier versions of MFP client
software. If there are new features of the MFP client software that you want to use, uninstall the
current version of the client software, install or deploy the new client software, and redeploy your
profiles from Kofax Administration Console.
Refer to the Kofax Document Exchange Server administrator’s guide for your MFP for instructions
on installing client software.
Upgrade Notes for Shortcuts
Some global and personal shortcuts may need to be deleted and recreated after upgrading.
Global shortcuts created for Ascent Capture are upgraded for Kofax Capture. After the upgrade,
you need to redeploy the profiles for the global shortcuts in order for the shortcuts to work from
the MFPs.
