Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your machine 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 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.
