Try this out. It pops up with a command prompt to ask you a few questions to get started. Once the questions are answered, it takes care of most everything else. When it is done, it should spit out a piece of paper for you to give to the new employee with the information that they need.

In the F: drive will be a scan folder. When you go to the Xerox to scan in documents, then you will find them in your scan folder. The G: drive is a company-wide shared folder.
