Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your machine can 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 the 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.
Configuring Printer Properties
You can change the various properties for your machine as a printer using the 
properties window provided by the Printers configuration.
1.Open the MFP Configurator.
2.If necessary, switch to Printers configuration.

window:
•General: allows you to

and name. The name entered 
in this tab displays on the 
printer list in Printers 
configuration.
•Connection: allows you to view or select another port. If you change the 
printer port from USB to parallel or vice versa while in use, you must re-
configure the printer port in this tab.
•Driver: allows you to view or select another printer driver. Click Options 
to set the default device options.

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:
1.Type lpr  from the Linux shell command line and press Enter. 
The Xerox LPR window appears.

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.
