Scanning Basics
Your machine offers two ways to scan:
• From the Samsung SmarThru software: Launch Samsung
SmarThru and open the Scan Wizard to begin scanning. See
below.
• From TWAIN-compliant software: You can use other software
including Adobe PhotoDeluxe and Adobe Photoshop. See
page 5.6.
N
OTES
:
• To scan with your machine, you must install the MFP driver.
• Scanning is done through the same LPT or USB port currently
assigned for your printer port.
Scanning Using Samsung SmarThru
Samsung SmarThru is the accompanying software for your
machine. With the SmarThru, scanning becomes a pleasure.
Follow these steps to start scanning using the SmarThru:

Using Your Printer in
Linux
Getting Started
The 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 the MFP Configurator
MFP Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring MFP
devices. Since an MFP device combines the printer and scanner,
the MFP Configurator provides options logically grouped for
printer and scanner functions. There is also a special MFP port
option responsible for the regulation of access to an MFP printer
and scanner via a single I/O channel.
After installing the MFP driver (see page 6.15), the MFP
Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.

MFP Ports Configuration
In this window, you can view the list of available MFP ports,

in busy state when its owner is terminated for any reason.
Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your 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.

Printing from DOS Applications
While your printer is primarily a Windows printer, you can also
print from a DOS software program using the Remote Control
Panel utility provided in the supplied software CD-ROM.
About the Remote Control Panel
DOS users have access to many printer features through specific
DOS printer drivers; however, many software manufactures do
not develop printer drivers for their software programs. The
printer provides the software control panel for improved printer
control when DOS printer drivers are not available or when
certain print settings are not available through DOS software
programs.
N
OTE
: The printer’s Remote Control Panel is not a printer driver. It
should be used to set print settings that are not available through
DOS software programs. Printer drivers are supplied by the
manufacturers of your DOS software programs. If your DOS
software program does not include a printer driver for your printer,
contact the manufacturer of the software program or use one of
the alternate printer drivers.
Installing the Remote Control Panel
The Remote Control Panel utility is provided on the printer
software CD-ROM.
1
Place the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. Installation will
start automatically.
If the CD-ROM drive does not automatically run:
Select
Run
from the
Start
menu, and type
x:\setup.exe
in the Open box (where
x
is the drive letter for the CD-ROM
drive), and click
OK

determines what action the printer should
take when a paper jam occurs. If it is unchecked, the printer

printer reprints all jammed pages.
