Using Your Printer in Linux237Using Your Printer in Linux You can use your machine in a Linux environment. This chapter includes:• Getting Started• Installing the MFP Driver• Using the MFP Configurator• Configuring Printer Properties• Printing a Document• Scanning a DocumentGetting 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 an 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.Installing the MFP DriverSystem Requirements Supported OS• Redhat 7.1 and above• Linux Mandrake 8.0 and above• SuSE 7.1 and above• Caldera OpenLinux 3.1 and above• Turbo Linux 7.0 and above• Slackware 8.1 and aboveRecommended Hardware Requirements• Pentium IV 1 GHz or higher• RAM 256 MB or higher• HDD 1 GB or higherNOTES: • It’s also necessary to claim swap partition of 300 MB or larger for working with large scanned images.• The Linux scanner driver supports the optical resolution at maximum. Please refer to the scanner and copy section of Specifications in your Printer User’s Guide.• You can check your printer name in the supplied CD-ROM.Software• Linux Kernel 2.4 or higher• Glibc 2.2 or higher•CUPS•SANE

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.Switches to MPF ports configuration.Shows the port type, device connected to the port and statusShows all of the available ports.Configuring Printer PropertiesUsing the properties window provided by the Printers configuration, you can change the various properties for your machine as a printer.1Open the MFP Configurator.If necessary, switch to Printers configuration.2Select your machine on the available printers list and click Properties.3The Printer Properties window opens.The following five tabs display at the top of the window:•General: allows you to change the printer location and name.
