:. Installation .:

As I stated previously, the SCX-5312F is one of the most user-friendly professional-grade laser all-in-ones. This is partly because Samsung included quick setup instructions that include helpful pictures. The SCX-5312F can be setup in about 5 minutes and it will be ready to copy, print, fax, and scan.

However, to become better acquainted with the printer, it is better to read the larger instruction booklet to learn all of the tricks. The larger instruction booklet is also user-friendly. Many companies provide instructions that are hard to follow and intimidate the less tech-savvy. However, Samsung provided an instruction booklet  with large print, pictures on every page, and an overall very well written guide.

To install the printer on your computer, simply install the provided software and plug in the USB or Parallel connections. Windows should automatically recognize the printer but if not, going through the windows printer setup will do the trick.
