Getting Started
You need to download Linux software package from the Samsung
website (www.samsung.com/printer) to install the printer softwares.
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.
