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.
