Printing Files
You can print many different types of files on the Xerox machine
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 <file_name> 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 .
2 In 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 page 33.
3 Click OK to start printing.
Scanning a Document
You can scan a document using the Unified Driver Configurator
window.
1 Double-click the Unified Driver Configurator on your
desktop.
2 Click the button to switch to Scanners Configuration.
3 Select 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.
N OTE : The scanner name shown in Scanners configuration
can be different from the device name.
