Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via 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 Unified Linux 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 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 device onto your system, it is strongly
recommended you do this with the assistance of an Unified Driver
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.
