Getting Started
The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Xerox’s Unified Linux Driver
package for using your machine with a Linux computer.
Xerox’s Unified Linux 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 machine devices via the USB port.
The acquired documents can then be edited, printed on the same local
or network machine devices, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or
transferred to an external OCR system.
The Unified Linux Driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible
installation program. You don't need to search for additional components
that might be necessary for the Unified Linux Driver 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.
