You need to download Linux software package from the

Samsung’s Unified Linux Driver package contains printer and

for configuring your machine and further processing of the

scanned documents.

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 don't need to search for
