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.
