Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners

Your printer 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 Dell MFP driver package provides an appropriate port sharing mechanism that is used

by Dell 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

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

for MFP’s functionality. For MFP scanners I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers

automatically, so proper settings are applied by default.
