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
scanne r drivers, providing the a bility to print d ocuments a nd
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, p rinted on the sam e local or
network machine devices, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP
site, or tra nsfer red to an e xtern al O CR system.
The Unified Linux Driver package is supplied with a smart and
flexible installation pr o g ram. You don't need to sear ch fo r
additional com ponents that m ight be nece ssary 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.
