Xerox recommends that you install one of the full-featured custom print drivers for Linux. To locate
drivers for your printer, go to www.support.xerox.com.
If you use CUPS, ensure that CUPS is installed and running on your workstation. The instructions for
installing and building CUPS are contained in the CUPS Software Administrators Manual, written and
copyrighted by Easy Software Products. For complete information on CUPS printing capabilities, refer
to the CUPS Software Users Manual available from www.cups.org/documentation.php.

Xerox provides Work Station Customization Object (WSCO) files to support IBM i V6R1 or later. A
Work Station Customization Object is a lookup table that the host print transform (HPT) uses to
translate AS/400 commands to the equivalent PCL code that is specific to a particular printer. A
WSCO file can modify many print features, including: paper input tray, 2-sided printing, characters per
inch, lines per inch, orientation, fonts, and margins.
The XTOOLS library provides a source WSCO file for each supported Xerox
® print driver for Linux or a CUPS (Common
