USING OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS6.14Using Your Printer in LinuxGetting StartedThe supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s MFP driver package for using your machine with a Linux computer.Samsung’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 machine and further processing of the scanned documents.After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package allows you to monitor a number of MFP devices via fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. The acquired documents can then be edited, printed on the same local MFP or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to a FTP site or transferred to an external OCR system.The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You don't 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.

USING OTHER OPERATING SYSTEMS6.216MFP Ports ConfigurationIn this window, you can view the list of available MFP ports, check the status of each port and release a port that is stalled in busy state when its owner is terminated for any reason.Sharing Ports Between Printers and ScannersYour machine may be connected to a host computer via the parallel port or USB port. Since the MFP device contains more than one device (printer and scanner), it is necessary to organize proper access of “consumer” applications to these devices via the single I/O port.The Samsung MFP driver package provides an appropriate port sharing mechanism that is used by Samsung printer and scanner drivers. The drivers address their devices via so-called MFP ports. The current status of any MFP port can be viewed via the MFP Ports Configuration. The port sharing prevents you from accessing one functional block of the MFP device, while another block is in use.When you install a new MFP printer onto your system, it is strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an MFP Configurator. In this case you will be asked to choose I/O port for the new device. This choice will provide the most suitable configuration for MFP’s functionality. For MFP scanners I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so proper settings are applied by default.Releases the selectedport.Renews the available ports list.Shows all of the available ports.Switches toMPF portsconfiguration.Shows the port type,device connected tothe port and status
