Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners

Your machine may be connected to a host computer via the 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.	7
The MFP driver package provides an appropriate port

sharing mechanism that is used by the 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.
