Radio Frequency Emissions

FCC Information to the User

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to

the following two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference, and

• This device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a

residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio

frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or

more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or experienced radio TV technician for help.

Caution:

Change or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer

responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the

equipment.

Canadian Radio Interference Regulations

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise

emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing

equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Industry

and Science Canada.

Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques

applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme

sur le matériel brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques”, ICES-003 édictée par

l’Industrie et Sciences Canada.

Fax Branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any

person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via

a telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a

margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of

the transmission the following information:

(1) the date and time of transmission

(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the

message; and

(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business

entity or individual.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,

equipment operations or procedures where such action is reasonably

required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules

and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected

to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone

company communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of

such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or

performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow

the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

Ringer Equivalence Number

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this

machine may be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the

machine. In some instances you may need to provide these numbers to the

telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load

placed on the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have

“overloaded” the line. Installing several types of equipment on the same

telephone line may result in problems making and receiving telephone calls,

especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence

Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in

order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases,

a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone

equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from

your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.

WARNING:

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not

expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to

operate this equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to

the telephone network, the telephone company should notify the customer

that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the

company may temporarily cease service, providing that they:

a) promptly notify the customer.

b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.

c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal

Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules

and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

You should also know that:

• Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.

• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone

line as your machine, you may experience transmission and reception

problems with all the equipment. It is recommended that no other

equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line with your

machine.

• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we

recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the

telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or

telephone and electronic specialty stores.

• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to

emergency numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the

emergency service dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give

you further instructions on how to actually test the emergency number.

• This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.

• This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

• You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by

means of a standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)

Important

The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp

plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you

must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover.

If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have another

fuse cover.

Please contact the people from you purchased the machine.

The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be

suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13

amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove

the moulded plug.

Warning

If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.

You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you

plug it into a socket.

Important warning:

You must earth this machine.

The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:

• Green and Yellow: Earth

• Blue: Neutral

•Brown: Live

If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do

the following:

You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter

“E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or green.

You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N”

or colored black.

You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L”

or colored red.

Loading originals and print media>

Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, labels, and

transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use

with your machine. Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined

in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:

• Poor print quality

• Increased paper jams

• Premature wear on the machine.

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are

important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output

quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are

described later in this section.

• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate

for your project.

• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce

sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how

crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Caution

Using print media that does not meet these specifications may

cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered

by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Note

• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section

and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result

of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity

levels, or other variables over which Samsung has no control.

• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it

meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, or other print materials, keep these

guidelines in mind:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on

page 4.3.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause

paper jams and poor print quality.

• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper

specifically recommended for use in laser machines.

• Avoid using the following media types:

- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too

smooth or too rough

- Erasable bond paper

- Multi-paged paper

- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.

Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical

smells, and damage to your machine.

• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.

Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place

heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or

unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can

cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C.

The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic

container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating

your paper.

• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the tray to avoid

paper jams.

• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from

sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Guidelines for special print media

Media type Guidelines

Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser

machines.

• Transparencies used in the machine must be

able to withstand the machine’s fusing

temperature. Check your machine’s specification

to view the fusing temperature, see page 11.1.

• Place them on a flat surface after removing them

from the machine.

• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long

periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate

on them, resulting in spotty printing.

• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints,

handle them carefully.

• To avoid fading, do not expose printed

transparencies to prolonged sunlight.

• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled,

curled, or have any torn edges.

Caution

Recommended media: Transparency for a

Color Laser Printers produced by HP,

Xerox and 3M. It is not recommended to

use paperbacked transparencies such as

Xerox 3R91334, which can cause a jam or

be scratched.

Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

designed for use in laser machines.

• When selecting labels, consider the following

factors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.

Check your machine’s specification to view the

fusing temperature, see page 11.1.

- Arrangement: Only use labels with no

exposed backing between them. Labels can

peel off sheets that have spaces between the

labels, causing serious jams.

- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with

no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.

- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,

bubbles, or other indications of separation.

• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive

material between labels. Exposed areas can

cause labels to peel off during printing, which

can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can

also cause damage to machine components.

• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine

more than once. The adhesive backing is

designed for only a single pass through the

machine.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the

backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or

otherwise damaged.

Card stock or

custom-sized

materials

• In the software application, set margins at least

6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.

Preprinted

paper

• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant

ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release

hazardous emissions when subjected to the

printer’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second.

Check your machine’s specification to view the

fusing temperature, see page 11.1.

• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and

should not adversely affect printer rollers.

• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a

moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes

during storage.

• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms

and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is

dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come

off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Media type Guidelines

Expected cartridge life

The print cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs

require. Average yield for a new print cartridge is 2,000 standard pages

in accordance with the ISO/IEC 19752 standard. (Average yield for the

original print cartridge supplied with the machine is 1,000 standard

pages.) The actual number may also be different depending on the print

density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be

affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and

media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the

cartridge more often.

Redistributing toner

When a toner is low the toner LED( ) blinks slowly.

It may cause faded or light areas on a paper. You can temporarily improve

print quality by redistributing the toner.

For detailed information about error message, see page 9.7.

Note

In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even

after you have redistributed the toner.

Printing quality problems

If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly,

you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear

the problem.

Condition Suggested solutions

Light or faded print

If a vertical white streak or faded area appears

on the page:

• The toner supply is low. You may be able to

temporarily extend the print cartridge life. If

this does not improve the print quality, install

a new print cartridge.

• The paper may not meet paper

specifications; for example, the paper may

be too moist or rough. (See "Specifications

on print media" on page 4.3.)

• If the entire page is light, the print resolution

setting is too low or the toner save mode is

on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the

toner save mode off. See the help screen of

the printer driver and refer to Software

section, respectively.

• A combination of faded or smeared defects

may indicate that the print cartridge needs

cleaning. Contact a service representative.

• The surface of the LSU part inside the

machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU,

contact a service representative.

Toner specks

• The paper may not meet specifications; for

example, the paper may be too moist or

rough. (See "Specifications on print

media" on page 4.3.)

• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact

a service representative.

Dropouts

If faded areas, generally rounded, occur

randomly on the page:

• A single sheet of paper may be defective.

Try reprinting the job.

• The moisture content of the paper is uneven

or the paper has moist spots on its surface.

Try a different brand of paper. (See

"Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing

processes can cause some areas to reject

toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.

• If these steps do not correct the problem,

contact a service representative.

White Spots White spots appear on the page:

• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact

a service representative.

Vertical lines

If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The print cartridge has probably been

scratched. Remove the print cartridge and

install a new one.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a

service representative to clean the inside of

the machine.

Color or Black

background

If the amount of background shading becomes

unacceptable:

• Change to a lighter weight paper. (See

"Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• Check the environmental conditions: very

dry conditions (low humidity) or a high level

of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can

increase the amount of background

shading.

• Remove the old print cartridge, and then

install a new one. (See "Replacing the print

cartridge" on page 8.5.)

Toner smear

• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a

service representative to clean the inside of

the machine.

• Check the paper type and quality. (See

"Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

Condition Suggested solutions

9.11 <

Troubleshooting>

Vertical repetitive

defects

If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side

of the page at even intervals:

• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a

service representative to clean the inside of

the machine. After cleaning the inside of the

machine, if you still have the same

problems, install a new print cartridge of the

problem color. See "Replacing the print

cartridge" on page 8.5.

• Parts of the machine may have toner on

them. If the defects occur on the back of the

page, the problem will likely correct itself

after a few more pages.

• The fusing assembly may be damaged.

Contact a service representative.

Background scatter

Background scatter results from bits of toner

randomly distributed on the printed page.

• The paper may be too damp. Try printing

with a different batch of paper. Do not open

packages of paper until necessary so that

the paper does not absorb too much

moisture.

• If background scatter occurs on an

envelope, change the printing layout to

avoid printing over areas that have

overlapping seams on the reverse side.

Printing on seams can cause problems.

• If background scatter covers the entire

surface area of a printed page, adjust the

print resolution through your software

application or in printer properties.

Misformed

characters

• If characters are improperly formed and

producing hollow images, the paper stock

may be too slick. Try different paper. (See

"Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• If characters are improperly formed and

producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit

may need service. Contact a service

representative.

Page skew

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. (See

"Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• Ensure that the paper or other material is

loaded correctly and the guides are not too

tight or too loose against the paper stack.

Condition Suggested solutions

Curl or wave

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. Both high

temperature and humidity can cause paper

curl. (See "Specifications on print media" on

page 4.3.)

• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also

try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

Wrinkles or creases

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. (See

"Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also

Character Voids

Character voids are white areas within parts of

characters that should be solid black:

• If you are using transparencies, try another

type of transparency. Because of the

composition of transparencies, some

character voids are normal.

• You may be printing on the wrong surface of

the paper. Remove the paper and turn it

around.

• The paper may not meet paper

specifications. (See "Specifications on print

media" on page 4.3.)

Horizontal stripes

If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears

appear:

• The print cartridge may be installed

improperly. Remove the cartridge and

reinsert it.

• The print cartridge may be defective.

Troubleshooting>

Common Linux problems

Problem Possible cause and solutions

The machine does not

print.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your

system. Open Unified Driver configurator

and switch to the Printers tab in Printers

configuration window to look at the list of

available printers. Make sure that your

machine is displayed on the list. If not,

please, invoke Add new printer wizard to

set up your device.

• Check if the printer has started. Open

Printers configuration and select your

machine on the printers list. Look at the

description in the Selected printer pane. If

its status contains “(stopped)” string,

please, press the Start button. After that

normal operation of the printer should be

restored. The “stopped” status might be

activated when some problems in printing

occurred. For instance, this could be an

attempt to print a document when a port is

claimed by a scanning application.

• Check if the port is not busy. Since

functional components of MFP (printer and

scanner) share the same I/O interface

(port), the situation of simultaneous access

of different “consumer” applications to the

same port are possible. To avoid possible

conflicts, only one of them at a time is

allowed to gain control over the device. The

other “consumer” will encounter “device

busy” response. You should open ports

configuration and select the port assigned

to your printer. In the Selected port pane

you can see if the port is occupied by some

other application. If this is the case, you

should wait for completion of the current job

or should press Release port button, if you

are sure that the present owner is not

functioning properly.

• Check if your application has special print

option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is

specified in the command line parameter

then remove it to print properly. For Gimp

front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer”

and edit command line parameter in the

command item.

The machine does not

appear on the

scanners list.

• Check if your machine is attached to your

computer. Make sure that it is connected

properly via the USB port and is turned on.

• Check if the scanner driver for your

machine is installed in your system. Open

Unified Driver configurator, switch to

Scanners configuration, then press

Drivers. Make sure that driver with a name

corresponding to your machine's name is

listed in the window. Check if the port is not

busy. Since functional components of MFP

(printer and scanner) share the same I/O

interface (port), the situation of

simultaneous access of different

“consumer” application to the same port is

possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only

one of them at a time is allowed to gain

control over the device. The other

“consumer” will encounter “device busy”

response. This can usually happen while

starting scan procedure, and appropriate

message box appears.

• To identify the source of the problem, you

should open ports configuration and select

the port assigned to your scanner. port's

symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0

designation displayed in the scanners’

options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so

on. USB ports start at /dev/mfp4, so

scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4

respectively and so forth sequentially. In the

Selected port pane you can see if the port

is occupied by some other application. If

this is the case, you should wait for

completion of the current job or you should

press Release port button, if you are sure

that the present port's owner is not

functioning properly.

I cannot scan via Gimp

Front-end.

• Check if Gimp Front-end has

“Xsane: Device dialog.” on the “Acquire”

menu. If not, you should install Xsane plug-

in for Gimp on the your computer. You can

find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on

Linux distribution CD or Gimp home page.

For the detail information, refer to the Help

for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end

application.

If you wish to use other kind of scan

application, refer to the Help for application.

Problem Possible cause and solutions

Common Macintosh problems

I encounter error

“Cannot open port

device file” when

printing a document.

Please avoid changing the print job

parameters (via LPR GUI, for example) while

a print job is in progress. Known versions of

CUPS server break the print job whenever

print options are changed and then try to

restart the job from the beginning. Since

Unified Linux Driver locks port while printing,

the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the

port locked and therefore unavailable for

subsequent print jobs. If this situation

occurred, please, try to release the port.

When printing a

document over the

network in SuSE 9.2,

the machine does not

print.

The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)

version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2

(cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp

(Internet Printing Protocol) printing. Use the

socket printing instead of ipp or install later

version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).

Problem Suggested solutions

PDF file does not print

correctly-some parts are

missing in the graphics,

text or illustrations.

Incompatibility between the PDF file and

the Acrobat products.

Printing the PDF file as an image may

enable the file to print. Turn on

Glossary>

12 Glossary

Control Panel

A control panel is a flat area where control or monitoring instruments are

displayed. They are typically found in top or front of the machine.

Coverage

This is the printing term used for toner usage measurement on printing

and generally used as 5% coverage. 5% coverage means that an A4

sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original

has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be over 5%

and at the same time, toner usage will be as much as the coverage.

Default

The first set values.

DPI

This is the measurement of resolution which is used for printing or

scanning. Generally, more dots per inch result in a higher resolution,

more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.

Duty Cycle

Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance

for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as

pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs,

usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000

pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages

a day, which is not small amount.

Fuser Unit

This is the part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media.

It consists of two hot rollers. After toner is transferred onto the paper, the

fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that the toner stays on the

paper permanently, which is why paper is warm when it comes out of a

laser printer.

Grayscale

Shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image when

color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented by

various shades of gray.

Halftone

This is an image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of

dots. Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter

areas consist of a smaller number of dots.

ISO

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an

international standard-setting body composed of representatives from

national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and

commercial standards.

LED

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the

status of a machine.

Print Media

Media such as papers, envelopes, labels, and transparencies which can

be used on a printer, a scanner, a fax or, a copier.

OPC Drum

A mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam

emitted from a laser printer, and it is usually green or gray-colored and

cylinder-shaped. An exposing unit of a drum is slowly worn away by its

usage of the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately since it

becomes scratched from grit in paper.

PDF

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed

by Adobe Systems for representing two-dimensional documents in a

device-independent and resolution-independent format.

PPM

Pages Per Minute. PPM shows the printer's speed, how many pages a

printer can actually print per minute.

PRN file

An interface for a device driver, this allows software to interact with the

device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies

many tasks.

Resolution

The sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher

the dpi, the greater the resolution.

Print Cartridge

It is a kind of bottle within a machine like a printer which contains toner.

Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers which forms the

text and images on the printed paper. Toner can be melted by the heat of

the fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in the paper.

URL

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and

resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates what

protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the domain

name where the resource is located.

USB

Universal serial bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB

Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals. Unlike

the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a single

computer USB port to multiple peripherals.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard

disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on

any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of

preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using

preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the

exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To

print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need

to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only

tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your

document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay

containing your logo or image.

Using Your Printer in Linux

7Using Your Printer in

Linux

You can use your machine in a Linux environment.

This chapter includes:

• Getting Started

• Installing the Unified Linux Driver

• Using the Unified Driver Configurator

• Configuring Printer Properties

• Printing a Document

• Scanning a Document

Getting Started

The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s Unified

Linux Driver package for using your machine with a Linux

computer.

Samsung’s Unified Linux 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 machine devices via

fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously.

The acquired documents can then be edited, printed on the

same local or network machine devices, sent by e-mail,

uploaded to an FTP site, or transferred to an external OCR

system.

The Unified Linux 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 Unified

Linux Driver 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 Unified Linux

Driver

Using Your Printer in Linux

Using the Unified Driver

Configurator

Unified Linux Driver Configurator is a tool primarily intended for

configuring Printer or MFP devices. Since an MFP device

combines the printer and scanner, the Unified Linux Driver

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 Unified Linux driver, the Unified Linux Driver

Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.

Opening the Unified Driver

Configurator

Double-click

Unified Driver Configurator

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 Unified Linux 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 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 device onto your system, it is

strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an

Unified Driver 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.
