9Using Your Printer in 
Linux 
You can use your machine in a Linux environment. 
This chapter includes:
• Getting Started
• Installing the Unified Linux Driver
• Using SetIP program
• Using the Unified Driver Configurator
• Configuring Printer Properties
• Printing a Document
• Scanning a Document
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 de livers 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 netw ork 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 dont 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 automa tically; this is possible on a 
wide set of the most popular Linux clones.
Installing the Unified Linux 
Driver
Installing the Unified Linux Driver
1Make sure that you connect your machine to your 
computer. Turn both the co mputer and the machine on.
2When the Administrator Login  window appears, type in 
root in the Login field and enter the system password.

Using SetIP program
This program is for the network IP setting using the MAC 
address which is the hardware serial number of the network 
printer card or interface. Especially, it is for the network 
administrator to set several network IPs at the same time. 
You can only use SetIP program when your machine is 
connected to a network.
SetIP program should be automatically installed during the 
printer driver installation.
Starting the program
1Print the machine’s network information report which 
includes your machine’s MAC address.
2Open the /opt/Samsung/mfp/share/utils/.
3Double click the SetIPApplet.html file.
4Click  in the SetIP window to open the TCP/IP 
configuration window.
5Enter the network cards MAC ad dress, IP address, subnet 
mask, default gateway, and then click 
Apply.
NOTE: when you enter the MAC address, enter it without 
colon(:).
6The machine prints the network information. Confirm all 
the settings are correct.
7Close the SetIP program.
Using the Unified Driver 
Configurator
Unified Linux Driver Configurator is a tool primarily intended for 
configuring Printer or MFP de vices. Since an MFP device 
combines the printer and scanner, the Unified Linux Driver 
Configurator provides options logically grouped for printer and 
scanner functions. There is also  a special MFP port option 
responsible for the regulation of  access to an MFP printer and 
scanner via a single I/O channel.
After installing the Unified Linux driver, the Unified Linux Driver 
Configurator icon will automatica lly be created on your desktop.
Opening the Unified Driver 
Configurator
1Double-click Unified Driver Configurator on the 
desktop.
You can also click the Startup Menu icon and select 
Samsung Unified Driver and then Unified Driver 
Configurator

Sharing Ports Between Pr inters and Scanners 
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via the 
parallel port or USB port. Since the MFP device contains more 
than one device (printer and  scanner), it is necessary to 
organize proper access of “con sumer” applications to these 
devices via the single I/O port.
The Samsung Unified Linux Driver package provides an 
appropriate port sharing mechanism that is used by Samsung 
printer and scanner drivers. The  drivers address their devices 
via so-called MFP ports. The curr ent status of any MFP port can 
be viewed via the Ports Configuration. The port sharing 
prevents you from accessing one functional block of the MFP 
device, while another block is in use.
When you install a new MFP device onto your system, it is 
strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an 
Unified Driver Configurator. In this case you will be asked to 
choose I/O port for the new device. This choice will provide the 
most suitable configuration fo r MFP’s functionality. For MFP 
scanners I/O ports are being  chosen by scanner drivers 
automatically, so proper settings are applied by default.
