MFP Ports Configuration

In this window, you can view the list of available MFP ports,
check the status of each port and release a port that is stalled
in busy state when its owner is terminated for any reason.
Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via the 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 Samsung MFP 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 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 MFP
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.
