There is a page about Samba on ArchLinux Wiki (see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Samba)) but for anything more advanced than basic installation, you probably shoud use the documentation on the official site http://www.samba.org/ (http://www.samba.org/), because non-trivial configuration may be quite complicated and tricky, especialy in a heterogenous environment (=multiple Windows versions on the same network). There are even whole books about Samba (for example, I still have somewhere this old one from O'Reilly, now freely available online on http://oreilly.com/openbook/samba/book/index.html (http://oreilly.com/openbook/samba/book/index.html)) and many HOWTOs, but it depens on what role shoud the device act (file server, print server, WINS server ...).
