Getting Started
You need to download Linux software package from the

Samsung's Unified Linux 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 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
additional components that might be necessary for the Unified
Linux Driver 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.
