Perform Printer Functions 3. Backup VIPP Files Before an Upgrade The VIPP system files are any directories and/or files located under /usr/xgf. The working VIPP files are, by default, located under /usr/xgfc. However, mappings can be made to other locations, so check the /usr/xgf/src/xgfunix.run file. This file lists the search paths that VIPP can use to find files. These should all be backed up. 1. Open a Terminal window. If you are using DocuSP software version 2.x or below, right-click on the background, select [Programs], then select [Terminal] from the menus. If you are using DocuSP software version 3.x or above, right-click on the background, select [Tools], then select [Terminal] from the menus. 2. Move the mouse into the Terminal window and type: su and press [Enter]. A password prompt will be displayed. 3. Type in the root password and select [Enter]. If this is done correctly a # prompt will be displayed. NOTE: For security purposes the password will not be displayed as it is being typed. 4. Type: cd /uxr/xgfc and press [Enter]. 5.
