Getting Started

The supplied CD-ROM p rovides you with Sam sung’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 p rint d ocum ents and
scan images. The package also delivers powerful applications
for configuring your machine and further processing of the
scanned documents.
After the driv er is instal led 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 Driv er package is supplied wi th 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.
