Getting Started The supplied Drivers and Documentation CD provides you with Dell's MFP driver package for using your printer with a Linux computer. Dell's MFP driver package contains printer and scanner drivers, providing the ability to print documents and scan images. The package also delivers powerful applications for configuring your printer and further processing of the scanned documents. After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package enables you to monitor a number of MFP devices via USB port. The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You do not need to search for additional components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all required packages will be carried onto your system and installed automatically; this is possible on a wide set of the most popular Linux clones.
