Printing from a Linux Workstation
To print from a Linux workstation, install either a Xerox
System) print driver. You do not need both drivers.
Xerox recommends that you install one of the full-featured custom print drivers for Linux. To locate drivers for your
printer, go to www.xerox.com/drivers.
If you use CUPS, ensure that CUPS is installed and running on your workstation. For instructions to install and build
CUPS, refer to Easy Software Products in the CUPS Software Administrators Manual. For complete information on
CUPS printing capabilities, refer to the CUPS Software Users Manual available from
php.
Installing the PPD File on the Workstation
1. On the Xerox Support website, from the Drivers and Downloads page, download the Xerox

2. Copy the PPD file to the CUPS ppd/Xerox folder on your workstation. If you are unsure of the folder location,
use the F F i i n n d d command to find the folder.

AS/400
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
installation instructions are available from www.support.xerox.com.
To install the XTOOLS library, select the downloadable files for the IBM AS/400 operating system, unzip the
downloaded XTOOLSxxxx.zip file, then follow the instructions to install the library. Download and install the
library only once.
