Using the MFP Configurator
MFP Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring 
MFP devices. Since an MFP device combines the printer and 
scanner, the MFP 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 MFP driver (see page 27), the MFP 
Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.
Opening the MFP Configurator
1Double-click MFP Configurator on the desktop.
You can also click the Startup Menu icon and select 
Samsung MFP and then MFP Configurator.
2Press each button on the Modules pane to switch to the 
corresponding configuration window.
You can use the onscreen help by clicking 
Help.
3After changing the configurations, click Exit to close the 
MFP Configurator.

MFP Ports Configuration
In this window, you can view the list of available MFP ports, 
check the status of each port and release a port that is stalled 
in busy state when its owner is terminated for any reason.
•Refresh : Renews the available ports list.
•
Release port : Releases the selected port.
Sharing Ports Between Printers 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 “consumer” applications to these 
devices via the single I/O port.
The Samsung MFP 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 current status of any MFP port can be viewed 
via the MFP 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 printer onto your system, it is 
strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an 
MFP 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 for MFP’s functionality. For MFP scanners 
I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so 
proper settings are applied by default.
Switches to 
MPF ports 
configuration.
Shows the port type, 
device connected to 
the port and status

available ports.

you change the printer port from USB to parallel or vice 
versa while in use, you must re-configure the printer port 
in this tab.

driver. By clicking 
Options, you can set the default 
device options.
•
Jobs: shows the list of print jobs. Click Cancel job to

File menu.
2Select Print directly using lpr.
3In the Samsung LPR window, select the model name of 
your machine from the Printer list and click 
Properties.
4Change the printer and print job properties.
Click.
The following four tabs display at the top of the window.
•

type, and the orientation of the documents, enables the 
duplex feature, adds start and end banners, and changes 
the number of pages per sheet.
•
Text - allows you to specify the page margins and set the 
text options, such as spacing or columns.
•

Printing Files
You can print many different types of files on the Samsung MFP 
device using the standard CUPS way - directly from the 
command line interface. The CUPS lpr utility allows you do that. 
But the drivers package replaces the standard lpr tool by a 
much more user-friendly Samsung LPR program.
To print any document file:
1Ty p e  lpr  from the Linux shell command 
line and press 
Enter. The Samsung LPR window appears.
When you type only 
lpr and press Enter, the Select 
file(s) to print window appears first. Just select any files 
you want to print and click 
Open. 
2In the Samsung LPR window, select your printer from the 
list, and change the printer and print job properties.
