Scanning Using the WIA Driver
Your machine also supports the Windows Image Acquisition 
(WIA) driver for scanning images. WIA is one of the standard 
components provided by Microsoft
 Windows XP and works 
with digital cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN driver, the 
WIA driver allows you to scan and easily manipulate images 
without using additional software.
NOTE: The WIA driver works only on Windows XP with USB 
port.

6Using Your Printer in 
Linux 
You can use your machine in a Linux environment. 
This chapter includes:
• Getting Started
• Installing the MFP Driver
• Using the MFP Configurator
• Configuring Printer Properties
• Printing a Document
• Scanning a Document
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 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 dont 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.

Using the MFP Configurator
MFP Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring 
MFP devices. Since an MFP device combines the printer and 
scanner, the MFP Configurator provides options logically 
grouped for printer and scanner functions. There is also a 
special MFP port option responsible for the regulation of access 
to an MFP printer and scanner via a single I/O channel.
After installing the MFP driver (see page 19), the MFP 
Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.
Opening the MFP Configurator
1Double-click MFP Configurator on the desktop.
You can also click the Startup Menu icon and select 
Xerox 
MFP
 and then MFP Configurator.
2Press each button on the Modules pane to switch to the 
corresponding configuration window.
You can use the onscreen help by clicking

MFP Ports Configuration
In this window, you can view the list of available MFP ports, 
check the status of each port and release a port that is stalled 
in busy state when its owner is terminated for any reason.
•Refresh : Renews the available ports list.
•
Release port : Releases the selected port.
Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via the 
parallel port or USB port. Since the MFP device contains more 
than one device (printer and scanner), it is necessary to 
organize proper access of “consumer” applications to these 
devices via the single I/O port.
The Xerox MFP driver package provides an appropriate port 
sharing mechanism that is used by Xerox printer and scanner 
drivers. The drivers address their devices via so-called MFP 
ports. The current status of any MFP port can be viewed via the 
MFP Ports Configuration. The port sharing prevents you from 
accessing one functional block of the MFP device, while another 
block is in use.
When you install a new MFP printer onto your system, it is 
strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an 
MFP Configurator. In this case you will be asked to choose I/O 
port for the new device. This choice will provide the most 
suitable configuration for MFP’s functionality. For MFP scanners 
I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so 
proper settings are applied by default.
Switches to 
MPF ports
