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 A.3), 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 
Help.
3After changing the configurations, click Exit to close the 
MFP Configurator.

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.
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.
Releases the selected 
port. Renews the available 
ports list.

5Click OK to apply the changes and close the Xerox WC 
PE120 Series Properties window. 
6Click OK in the Xerox LPR window to start printing.
7The Printing window appears, allowing you to monitor the 
status of your print job.
To abort the current job, click 
Cancel.
Printing Files
You can print many different types of files on the Xerox 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 Xerox LPR program.
To print any document file:
1Ty p e  lpr  from the Linux shell command line 
and press 
Enter. The Xerox LPR 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 Xerox LPR window, select your printer from the list, 
and change the printer and print job properties.
For details about the properties window, see page A.12.
3Click OK to start printing.

Scanning a Document
You can scan a document using the MFP Configurator window.
1Double-click the MFP Configurator on your desktop.
2Click the   button to switch to Scanners Configuration.
3Select the scanner on the list. 
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.
If you have two or more scanners attached to your 
computer, you can select any scanner 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.
4Click Properties.
