Samsung Scan Manager Problem
Fax problems
Common PostScript problems
The following situations are PS language specific and may occur when
several printer languages are being used.
The unit scans very
slowly.
• Check if the machine is printing received
data. If so, scan the document after the
received data has been printed.
• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.
• Communication speed slows in scan mode
because of the large amount of memory
required to analyze and reproduce the
scanned image. Set your computer to the
ECP printer mode through BIOS setting. It
will help to increase the speed. For details
about how to set BIOS, refer to your
computer user’s guide.
