Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard 
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on 
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of 
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using 
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the 
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To 
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need 
to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only 
tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your 
document.
Creating a New Page Overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay 
containing your logo or image.
1Create or open a document containing text or an image for 
use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as 
you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.
2To save the document as an overlay, access printer 
properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 7.
3Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay 
section. 
4In the Edit Overlay window, click Create Overlay. 
5In the Create Overlay window, type a name of up to eight 
characters in the 
File name box. Select the destination 
path, if necessary. (The default is C:\Formover).
6Click Save. The name appears on the Overlay List box. 
7Click OK or Yes to finish creating. 
The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your 
computer hard disk drive. 
NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as the 
documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay 
with a watermark.

Using a Page Overlay
After an overlay has been created, it is ready to be printed with 
your document. To print an overlay with a document:
1Create or open the document you want to print. 
2To change the print settings from your software 
application, access printer properties. See “Printing a 
Document” on page 7. 
3Click the Extras tab. 
4Select the desired overlay from the Overlay drop-down 
list box. 
5If the overlay file you want does not appear in the 
Overlay list, click Edit button and Load Overlay, and 
select the overlay file. 
If you have stored the overlay file you want to use in an 
external source, you can also load the file when you access 
the 
Load Overlay window. 
After you select the file, click 
Open. The file appears in the 
Overlay List box and is available for printing. Select the 
overlay from the 
Overlay List box. 
6If necessary, click Confirm Page Overlay When 
Printing
. If this box is checked, a message window 
appears each time you submit a document for printing, 
asking you to confirm your wish to print an overlay on your 
document. 
If this box is not checked and an overlay has been 
selected, the overlay automatically prints with your 
document. 
7Click OK or Yes until printing begins. 
The selected overlay downloads with your print job and 
prints on your document. 
NOTE: The resolution of the overlay document must be the 
same as that of the document you will print with the overlay. 
Deleting a Page Overlay

If you want to scan documents using other software, you will 
need to use TWAIN-compliant software, such as Adobe 
Photoshop.  The first time you scan with your machine, select 
it as your TWAIN source in the application you use. 
The basic scanning process involves a number of steps:
1Make sure that your machine and computer are turned on

with digital cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN driver, the 
WIA driver allows you to scan and easily manipulate images 
without using additional software.
NOTE: The WIA driver works only on Windows XP/Vista/7

7Using Your Printer in 
Linux 
You can use your machine in a Linux environment. 
This chapter includes:
• Getting Started
• Installing the Unified Linux Driver
• Using the Unified Driver Configurator
• Configuring Printer Properties
• Printing a Document
• Scanning a Document
Getting Started
You need to download Linux software package from the 
Samsung website (www.samsung.com/printer) to install the 
printer and scanner 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.
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 automatically; 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 computer and the machine on.
2When the Administrator Login window appears, type in 
root in the Login field and enter the system password.
NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the 
printer software. If you are not a super user, ask your system 
administrator.
3From the Samsung website, download and unpack the 
Unified Linux Driver package to your computer.
4Click the   icon at the bottom of the desktop. When the 
Terminal screen appears, type in:
[root@localhost root]#tar zxf [FilePath]/
UnifiedLinuxDriver.tar.gz
[root@localhost root]#cd [FilePath]/cdroot/Linux
[root@localhost Linux]#./install.sh
NOTE:  If you do not use the graphical interface and failed to 
install the software, you have to use the driver in the text 
mode. Follow the steps 3 to 4, and then follow the instructions 
on the terminal screen.
5When the welcome screen appears, click Next.

6When the installation is complete, click Finish.
The installation program has added the Unified Driver 
Configurator desktop icon and Samsung Unified Driver 
group to the system menu for your convenience. If you 
have any difficulties, consult the onscreen help that is 
available through your system menu or can otherwise be 
called from the driver package Windows applications, 
such as 
Unified Driver Configurator or Image 
Manager
.
NOTE: Installing the driver in the text mode:
• If you do not use the graphical interface or have failed the 
driver installation, you have to use the driver in the text 
mode.
• Follow the step 1 to 3, then type [root@localhost Linux]# ./
install.sh, than follow the instruction on the terminal screen. 
Then the installation completes.
• When you wan to uninstall the driver, follow the installation 
instruction above, but type [root@localhost Linux]# ./
uninstall.sh on the terminal screen.
Uninstalling the Unified Linux Driver
1When the Administrator Login window appears, type in 
root in the Login field and enter the system password.
NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the 
printer software. If you are not a super user, ask your system 
administrator.

Using the Unified Driver 
Configurator
Unified Linux Driver Configurator is a tool primarily intended for 
configuring Printer or MFP devices. 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 automatically be created on your desktop.
