1. Introduction This MFP server allows your all-in-one printer to become a shared device on the network. Unlike many MFP servers, it can communicate with your all-in-one printer as if it was connected directly to your computer. This allows all users to share print, scan, card reader and fax (if available) over the network. You can also monitor important information such as ink levels. The MFP server provides IEEE 802.
2. MFP server Modes This MFP server supports two modes: All-in-one MFP server Mode and MFP server Mode. Users can choose one of these modes to share all-in-one or printer functions through the MFP server. All-in-one MFP server Mode: The MFP server can communicate with an all-in-one printer as if it was connected directly to your computer. This enables users to connect to the all-in-one for sharing print, scan, card reader, and fax functions (if available).
MFP server Mode: The MFP server also supports LPR, IPP and RAW printing protocols, which enable users to share the print function from an all-in-one printer. The supported Operating Systems are Windows 98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista, and MAC OS 9.x and above. For detailed instructions, please refer to the following chapters.
3. Using Your All-in-one After you have followed the install wizard to finish the all-in-one installation, you are able to start sharing print, scan, card reader, or fax functions. To print a document, just follow the steps as usual. To scan or read the memory card, please follow the steps below for using your all-in-one printer. 1. Click “Start” menu and select “MFP Server Utilities\MFP Manager” in “All Programs”. 2. In the “MFP Manager”, select the all-in-one printer you would like to use.
3. Click the “Connect” button to connect to the all-in-one printer. 4. You are able to use the all-in-one printer for printing, scanning or reading the memory card over the MFP server. Tip: If you have finished using the all-in-one printer, please click “Disconnect” to release it. Other users can’t use the all-in-one printer until it is released.
3.1 Printing The all-in-one printer will be added to “Printers and Faxes” in Windows after the printer is installed. You can select the printer for printing a document by following the steps as usual. Tip: If you have sent a print job to it while the all-in-one printer is connecting to another user, you may be prompted that the device is not found or the document failed to print. Please resend the print job after the all-in-one printer is idle or not connected.
3.2 Scanning The all-in-one printer provides a scan utility for users. You can scan pictures or documents through the utility. In Windows XP/Vista, you can also scan from the Windows XP/Vista scanning utility or use third party scanning utilities such as Photoshop, Photoimpact, Paint Shop Pro, etc.
Windows XP Scanning Utility 8
3.3 Reading Memory Cards You can read the files from a memory card through the MFP server.
4. MFP Manager 4.1 MFP Server List The “MFP Manager” can automatically find the MFP server in the network and show it in the MFP Server List. You can select an all-in-one printer and click “Connect” to use the printer as if you had directly connected the printer to your computer through a USB cable. The MFP manager also displays information about the connection status. When you don’t want to use the all-in-one printer, please click “Disconnect” so that other users can use the device.
MFP Server List MFP Server List The “MFP Server List” will list all the MFP servers within the network.
