want to share to on the network.

Note
1. Please use the power adapter which bundled with MFP
Server. DO NOT use any other power adapter from other
sources. That may cause your FPS-1012N damage.
2.
To prevent the compatibility problem between FPS-1012N
and a few MFP or printer, it is recommended that you
power on the FPS-1012N before the MFP or printer.
2.2 Software Installation Procedure
This FPS-1012N management software can be run in Windows 2000 SP4
or above, Windows XP SP3 or above and Windows Vista. The following
procedures are running in Windows XP, the procedures are similar for
Windows 2000, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
"
Note
Some MFP printers will ask the user connect MFP to the PC
directly and install the printer driver, before MFP Server
installation. That may cause the MFP Server installation adds
one more MFP (printer/scanner/fax/card reader) to your PC.
You can delete the devices which the MFP driver installed after
MFP Server installation, or you can keep those devices exist in
your PC.
