Using Smart Panel

25

Smart Panel is a program that monitors and informs you of the 
status of the printer, and allows you to customize the printer’s 
settings. Smart Panel is installed automatically when you 
install the printer software.

:

• To use this program, you need:

- Windows 98 or higher (Windows NT 4.0 can be used only 

for network-supported printers.) To check for Operating 

System(s) that are compatible with your printer, refer to 

Printer Specifications in your Printer User’s Guide.

- Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
- Linux. To check for Linux systems that are compatible with 

your printer, refer to Printer Specifications in your Printer 

User’s Guide.

- Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher for flash animation 

in HTML Help.

• If you need to know the exact name of your printer, you can 

check the supplied CD-ROM.

If an error occurs while printing, Smart Panel appears 
automatically, showing the error.
You can also launch Smart Panel manually. Double-click the 
Smart Panel icon on the Windows task bar (in Windows), or 
Notification Area (in Linux). You can also click it on the status 
bar (in Mac OS X).

Smart Panel.

: 

• If you have already installed more than one Samsung 

printer, first select the printer model you want in order to 

use the corresponding Smart Panel. Right-click (in Windows 

or Linux) or click (in Mac OS X) the Smart Panel icon and 

select your printer name.

• The Smart Panel window and its contents shown in this 

Software User’s Guide may differ depending on the printer or 

Operating System in use.

The Smart Panel program displays the current status of the 
printer, the toner cartridge and various other information. You 
can also change settings.

You can order replacement toner cartridge(s) online.

You can view Help to solve problems.

You can configure various printer settings in the Printer Settings 
Utility window. Any printers do not have this feature.

: If your printer is connected to a network and you are a 

Windows user, the SyncThru Web Service window appears 
instead of the Printer Settings Utility window. Mac OS X and 
Linux do not support network environments.

You can use the printer properties window, which allows you to 

access all of the printer options you need for using your 
printer. For details, See “Printer Settings” on page 13.
