depending on your system and what you are scanning, 
you may not be able to scan at certain resolutions, 
especially using enhanced dpi.

Scanning Process with TWAIN-
enabled Software 
If you want to scan documents using other software, you will 
need to use TWAIN-compliant software, such as Adobe 
PhotoDeluxe or 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 
and properly connected to each other.
2Load the document(s) face up into the ADF.
OR
Place a single document face down on the document 
glass.
3Open an application, such as PhotoDeluxe or Photoshop. 
4Open the TWAIN window and set the scan options.
5Scan and save your scanned image.
NOTE: You need to follow the program’s instructions for 
acquiring an image. Please refer to the user’s guide of the 
application.
Scanning Using the WIA Driver
Your machine also supports the Windows Image Acquisition 
(WIA) driver for scanning images. WIA is one of the standard 
components provided by Microsoft
 Windows XP and works 
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 with USB 
port. 
1Load the document(s) face up into the ADF.
OR
Place a single document face down on the document 
glass.
2From the Start menu on your desktop window, select 
Settings, Control Panel, and then Scanners and 
Cameras
.
3Double click your scanner driver icon. The Scanner and 
Camera Wizard launches.
4Choose your scanning preferences and click Preview to 
see how your preferences affect the picture.
5Click Next.
6Enter a picture name, and select a file format and 
destination to save the picture.
7Follow the on-screen instructions to edit the picture after it 
is copied to your computer.
NOTE: If you want to  cancel the scan job, press the Cancel

7Using Your Printer in 
Linux 
You can use your machine in a Linux environment. 
This chapter includes:
• Getting Started
• Installing the MFP Driver
• Using the MFP Configurator
• Configuring Printer Properties
• Printing a Document
• Scanning a Document
Getting Started
The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s MFP driver 
package for using your machine with a Linux computer.
Samsung’s MFP 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 MFP devices via fast 
ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. The acquired 
documents can then be edited, printed on the same local MFP 
or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or 
transferred to an external OCR system.
The MFP 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 MFP 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.
