Printing Files
You can print many different types of files on the Dell MFP device using the standard CUPS 
way - 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 GUI 
program.
To print any document file:
1Ty p e  lpr  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 
Printing a Document.
3Click OK to start printing.

You can scan a document using the Unified Driver Configurator window.
1Double-click the Unified Driver Configurator on your desktop.

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.

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.
 NOTE: The scanner name shown in Scanners configuration can be different from the device name.
