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 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.
