	configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure that driver with a name corresponding to your machine's name is listed in the
	window.
	• Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional components of machine (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the
	situation of simultaneous access of different user applications to the same port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of
	them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other user will encounter “device busy” response. This usually
	happens when starting a scan procedure. An appropriate message box appears.
	To identify the source of the problem, open the Ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner, port's symbol /
	dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1, and so on. USB ports start
	at /dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected port pane, you can
	see if the port is occupied by another application. If this is the case, you should either wait for completion of the current job or
	press the Release port button, if you are sure that the present port application is not functioning properly.
