1.2 How to Use This Guide
This MFP Server supports dual functionalities: MFP Server Mode and Print Server Mode at
the same time. Users can choose one of the modes to share MFP or Printer functions
through the MFP Server.
MFP Server Mode
The MFP Server can communicate with MFP and printer as if it is connected directly to your
computer. This enables users to connect to MFP for sharing print, scan, card reader and fax
functions. If the MFP Server is connected to a printer but not MFP, users still can share
printing function through the operation mode. The supported OS in this mode is Windows
2000 SP4 above, Windows XP SP1 above and Windows Vista. The MFP Server mode
doesn’t support Windows 98SE/ME/NT, Linux/Unix or MAC OS.
Print Server Mode
The MFP Server also supports LPR, IPP and RAW printing protocols, which enable users to
share print function from MFP or Printer. The supported OS is Windows
98SE/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003, Unix, Linux and MAC OS 9.x above. In Windows Vista, the
MFP Server only supports LPR printing protocol.
