Printing Files

You can print many different types of files on the Samsung
machine device using the standard CUPS way - directly from
the command line interface. The CUPS lpr utility allows you do
that. But the drivers package replaces the standard lpr tool by
a much more user-friendly LPR GUI program.
To print any document file:

1

Type

lpr <file_name>

from the Linux shell command

line and press Enter. The LPR GUI window appears.
When you type only

lpr

and press Enter, the Select file(s)

to print window appears first. Just select any files you
want to print and click Open.

2

In the LPR GUI window, select your printer from the list,
and change the printer and print job properties.
For details about the properties window, see page 37.

3

Click OK to start printing.

Scanning a Document

You can scan a document using the Unified Driver Configurator
window.

1

Double-click the Unified Driver Configurator on your
desktop.

2

Click the

button to switch to Scanners Configuration.

Select the scanner on the list.

When you have only one MFP device and it is connected to
the computer and turned on, your scanner appears on the
list and is automatically selected.
If you have two or more scanners attached to your
computer, you can select any scanner to work at any time.
For example, while acquisition is in progress on the first
scanner, you may select the second scanner, set the device
options and start the image acquisition simultaneously.

Click Properties.

Load the document to be scanned face up into the ADF
(Automatic Document Feeder) or face down on the
document glass.
