all of the received faxes are stored in memory. For further
details, see "Receiving in secure receiving mode" on page 96.
Receiving automatically in Fax mode
Your machine is preset Fax mode at the factory. When you receive a fax,
the machine answers the call on a specified number of rings and
automatically receives the fax.
To change the number of rings, see "Fax setup (CLX-3185FN/CLX-3185FW

Receiving automatically in Answering Machine/Fax
mode
To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT socket
on the back of your machine (See "Rear view" on page 33).
If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the message
as it would normally. If your machine detects a fax tone on the line, it
automatically starts to receive the fax.
•If you have set your machine to this mode and your answering
machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to
EXT socket, your machine automatically goes into Fax mode after
a predefined number of rings.
•If your answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter, set
the machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
•If you are in Tel mode when the answering machine is connected
to your machine, you must switch off the answering machine.
Otherwise, the outgoing message from the answering machine will
interrupt your phone conversation.
Receiving faxes using DRPD mode
Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables an user to
use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers.
The particular number someone uses to call you is identified by different
ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short
ringing sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who
answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which
number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature, your fax
machine can learn the ring pattern you designate to be answered. Unless
you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be recognized and
Faxing (CLX-3185FN/CLX-3185FW only)_ 96
answered as a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT socket.
You can easily suspend or change DRPD at any time.
Before using the DRPD option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on
your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up DRPD, you will
need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial
your fax number from outside.

requires several rings to learn the pattern.
When the machine completes learning, the display shows Completed
DRPD Setup. If the DRPD setup fails, Error DRPD Ring appears.
Press OK when DRPD appears and start over from step 6.
•DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number,
or connect the machine to another telephone line.
•After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to
verify that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a
call placed to a different number assigned to that same line to
be sure the call is forwarded to the extension telephone or
answering machine plugged into the EXT socket.
Receiving in secure receiving mode
You may need to prevent your received faxes from being accessed by

•Refresh: Renews the available ports list.
•Release port: Releases the selected port.
Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via a parallel port
or USB port. Since the machine 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 Unified Linux Driver package provides an appropriate port sharing
mechanism that is used by Samsung printer and scanner drivers. The
drivers talk to their devices via so-called machine ports. The current
status of any machine port can be viewed via the Ports configuration.
The port sharing prevents you from accessing one functional block of
the machine device, while another block is in use.
When you install a new machine device onto your system, it is strongly
recommended you do this with the assistance of an Unified Driver
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
machine’s functionality. For machine scanners, I/O ports are being
chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so proper settings are applied
by default.

optimum print quality.
•Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent or other strong
substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.
•If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with
toner, we recommend that you use a cloth or tissue dampened
with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in
the air and might be harmful if inhaled.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the machine cabinet with a soft and lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth
slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the
machine.
Cleaning the inside
During the printing process, paper, toner and dust particles can accumulate
inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems such as
toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and
reduces these problems.
1. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to
cool down.
2. Using the handle, completely open the front door.

STORING THE TONER CARTRIDGE
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature
and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the recommendations to
ensure the optimum performance, highest quality and longest life from your
new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be
used. This should be in controlled office temperature and humidity
conditions. The toner cartridge should remain in its original and unopened
package until installation – If original packaging is not available, cover the
top opening of the cartridge with paper and store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful
shelf and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is
removed from the printer, follow the instruction below to store the toner
cartridge properly.
•Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
•Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it
was installed in the machine.
•Do not store consumable in any of the following conditions:
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
-Humidity range less than 20% and not greater than 80%.
-An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
-Direct sunlight or room light.
-Dusty places.
-A car for a long period of time.
-An environment where corrosive gases are present.
-An environment with salty air.
Handling instructions
•Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge.
•Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
•Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this
can cause internal damage and toner spillage.
Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of
non-Samsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store
brand, refilled or remanufactured toner cartridges.
Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine
caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured or non-Samsung
brand toner cartridge.
Estimated cartridge life
Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the
amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield may vary
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, printing interval, media type and/or media size. For example, if
you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you may
need to change the cartridge more often.
MAINTENANCE PARTS
To avoid print quality and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts,
and to maintain your machine in top working condition, the following items
will need to be replaced after the specified number of pages, or when the life
span of each item has expired.
We highly recommend that this maintenance be performed by an authorized
service provider, dealer or the retailer where you bought the machine. The
warranty does not cover the replacement of the maintenance parts after
their lifespan.
The battery inside the machine is a service component. Do not
change it by yourself.
There is risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to your local environmental
guidelines. Don’t puncture or incinerate the battery.

Background
scatter
Background scatter results from bits of toner
randomly distributed on the printed page.
•The paper may be too damp. Try printing with
a fresh ream of paper. Do not open packages
of paper until necessary so that the paper
does not absorb too much moisture.
•If background scatter occurs on an envelope,
change the printing layout to avoid printing
over areas that have overlapping seams on
the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause
problems.
•If background scatter covers the entire surface
area of a printed page, adjust the print
resolution through your software application or
the printer properties.
Misformed
characters
•If characters are improperly formed and
producing hollow images, the paper stock may
be too slick. Try different paper (See "Selecting

•If characters are improperly formed and
producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may
need service, For service, contact a service
representative.
Page skew •Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
•Check the paper type and quality (See
"Selecting print media" on page 66).
•Ensure that the paper or other material is
loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight
or too loose against the paper stack.
Curl or wave •Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
•Check the paper type and quality. Both high

Common Linux problems
CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
The machine does
not print.
•Check if the printer driver is installed in your
system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and
switch to the Printers tab in Printers
configuration window to look at the list of
available machines. Make sure that your
machine is displayed on the list. If not, open
Add new printer wizard to set up your
device.
•Check if the machine is started. Open
Printers configuration and select your
machine on the printers list. Look at the
description in the Selected printer pane. If its
status contains Stopped string, press the
Start button. After that normal operation of
the machine should be restored. The
“stopped” status might be activated when
some problems in printing occurred. For
instance, this could be an attempt to print a
document when the port is claimed by a
scanning application.
•Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional
components of machine (printer and scanner)
share the same I/O interface (port), the
situation of simultaneous access of different
user applications to the same port is possible.
To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them
at a time is allowed to gain control over the
device. The other user will encounter “device
busy” response. You should open ports
configuration and select the port assigned to
your machine. In the Selected port pane you
can see if the port is occupied by some other
application. If this is the case, you should
either wait for completion of the current job or
press the Release port button, if you are sure
that the present application is not functioning
properly.
•Check if your application has special print
option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified
in the command line parameter, then remove
it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select
“print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command
line parameter in the command item.
•The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)
version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2
(cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp (Internet
Printing Protocol) printing.Use the socket
printing instead of ipp or install a later version
of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).
The machine does
not print whole
pages, and output is

It is a known problem that occurs when a color
machine is used on version 8.51 or earlier of
Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and has been
reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript
Bug 688252.The problem is solved in AFPL
Ghostscript v. 8.52 or above. Download the
latest version of AFPL Ghostscript from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/ and
install it to solve this problem.
I cannot scan via
Gimp Front-end.
Check if Gimp Front-end has Xsane: Device
dialog on the Acquire menu. If not, you should
install Xsane plug-in for Gimp on the your
computer. You can find Xsane plug-in package
for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp home
page. For the detailed information, refer to the
Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end
application.
If you wish to use another kind of scan
application, refer to application’s Help.
I encounter the
“Cannot open port
device file” error
when printing a
document.
Avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR
GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress.
Known versions of CUPS server break the print
job whenever print options are changed and
then try to restart the job from the beginning.
Since Unified Linux Driver locks the port while
printing, the abrupt termination of the driver
keeps the port locked and unavailable for
subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurs, try
to release the port by selecting Release port in
Port configuration window.
The machine does
not appear on the
scanners list.
•Ensure your machine is attached to your
computer, connected properly via the USB
port, and is turned on.
•Ensure the scanner driver for your machine is
installed in your system. Open Unified Linux
Driver configurator, switch to Scanners
configuration, then press Drivers. Make
sure that driver with a name corresponding to
your machine's name is listed in the window.
•Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional
components of machine (printer and scanner)
share the same I/O interface (port), the
situation of simultaneous access of different
user applications to the same port is possible.
To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them
at a time is allowed to gain control over the
device. The other user will encounter “device
busy” response. This usually happens when
starting a scan procedure. An appropriate
message box appears.
To identify the source of the problem, open
the Ports configuration and select the port
assigned to your scanner, port's symbol
/dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation
displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1
relates to LP:1, and so on. USB ports start at
/dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to
/dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth
sequentially. In the Selected port pane, you
can see if the port is occupied by another
application. If this is the case, you should
either wait for completion of the current job or
press the Release port button, if you are sure
that the present port application is not

Glossary_ 145
glossary
The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by
understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing as well
as mentioned in this user’s guide.
802.11
802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN)
communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Commit-
tee (IEEE 802).
802.11b/g/n
802.11b/g/n can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps, 802.11n supports band-
width up to 150 Mbps. 802.11b/g/n devices may occasionally suffer
interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and Bluetooth
devices.
Access point
Access Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that
connects wireless communication devices together on wireless local
area networks (WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver of
WLAN radio signals.
ADF
An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a scanning unit that will auto-
matically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can scan
some amount of the paper at once.
AppleTalk
AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for
computer networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984)
and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.
BIT Depth
A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to repre-
sent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color depth
gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits increases,
the number of possible colors becomes impractically large for a color
map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black and white.
BMP
A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows
graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file
format on that platform.
BOOTP
Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to
obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap
process of computers or operating systems running on them. The
BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to each
client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP
address prior to loading any advanced operating system.
CCD
Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan
job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to
prevent any damage when you move the machine.
Collation
Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When colla-
tion is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing additional
copies.
Control Panel
A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or monitor-
ing instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of the
machine.
Coverage
It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing.
For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5%
image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or
lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a
toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
CSV
Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to
exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is
used in Microsoft Excel, has become a de facto standard throughout the
industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.
DADF
A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a scanning unit that
will automatically feed and turn over an original sheet of paper so that
the machine can scan on both sides of the paper.
Default
The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its box
state, reset, or initialized.
DHCP
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server net-
working protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters
specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information
required by the client host to participate on an IP network. DHCP also
provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to client hosts.
DIMM
Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), a small circuit board that holds
memory. DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing data,
received fax data.
Glossary_ 146
DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a standard that allows
devices on a home network to share information with each other across
the network.
DNS
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information
associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks,
such as the Internet.
Dot Matrix Printer
A dot matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print head
that runs back and forth on the page and prints by impact, striking an
ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a typewriter.
DPI
Dots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for scan-
ning and printing. Generally, higher DPI results in a higher resolution,
more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.
DRPD
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Distinctive Ring is a telephone com-
pany service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to
answer several different telephone numbers.
Duplex
A mechanism that will automatically turn over a sheet of paper so that
the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer
equipped with a Duplex Unit can print on both sides of paper during one
print cycle.
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer perfor-
mance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such
as pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of
print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty
cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer
limits 2,400 pages a day.
ECM
Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into
Class 1 fax machines or fax modems. It automatically detects and cor-
rects errors in the fax transmission process that are sometimes caused
by telephone line noise.
Emulation
Emulation is a technique of one machine obtaining the same results as
another.
An emulator duplicates the functions of one system with a different sys-
tem, so that the second system behaves like the first system. Emulation
focuses on exact reproduction of external behavior, which is in contrast
to simulation, which concerns an abstract model of the system being
simulated, often considering its internal state.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local
area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical
layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control
(MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized
as IEEE 802.3. It has become the most widespread LAN technology in
use during the 1990s to the present.
EtherTalk
A suite of protocols developed by Apple Computer for computer net-
working. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984) and is now dep-
recated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.
FDI
Foreign Device Interface (FDI) is a card installed inside the machine to
allow a third party device such as a coin operated device or a card
reader. Those devices allow the pay-for-print service on your machine.
FTP
A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a commonly used protocol for exchang-
ing files over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol (such as the
Internet or an intranet).
Fuser Unit
The part of a laser printer that fuses the toner onto the print media. It
consists of a heat roller and a pressure roller. After toner is transferred
onto the paper, the fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that
the toner stays on the paper permanently, which is why paper is warm
when it comes out of a laser printer.
Gateway
A connection between computer networks, or between a computer net-
work and a telephone line. It is very popular, as it is a computer or a net-
work that allows access to another computer or network.
Grayscale
A shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image
when color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented
by various shades of gray.
Halftone
An image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of dots.
Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter
areas consist of a smaller number of dots.
HDD
Hard Disk Drive (HDD), commonly referred to as a hard drive or hard
disk, is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally-encoded data
on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces.
IEEE
The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is an interna-
tional non-profit, professional organization for the advancement of tech-
nology related to electricity.

possibly the public telecommunication system to securely share part of
an organization's information or operations with its employees. Some-
times the term refers only to the most visible service, the internal web-
site.

printer. An IPM rate indicates the number of single-sided sheets a printer
can complete within one minute.
IPP
The Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) defines a standard protocol for print-
ing as well as managing print jobs, media size, resolution, and so forth.
IPP can be used locally or over the Internet to hundreds of printers, and
also supports access control, authentication, and encryption, making it a
much more capable and secure printing solution than older ones.
IPX/SPX
IPX/SPX stands for Internet Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet
Exchange. It is a networking protocol used by the Novell NetWare oper-
ating systems. IPX and SPX both provide connection services similar to
TCP/IP, with the IPX protocol having similarities to IP, and SPX having
similarities to TCP. IPX/SPX was primarily designed for local area net-
works (LANs), and is a very efficient protocol for this purpose (typically
its performance exceeds that of TCP/IP on a LAN).

tocol for querying and modifying directory services running over TCP/IP.
LED
A Light-Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates
the status of a machine.
MAC address
Media Access Control (MAC) address is a unique identifier associated
with a network adapter. MAC address is a unique 48-bit identifier usually
written as 12 hexadecimal characters grouped in pairs (e. g.,

following functionality in one physical body, so as to have a printer, a
copier, a fax, a scanner and etc.
MH
Modified Huffman (MH) is a compression method for decreasing the
amount of data that needs to be transmitted between the fax machines
to transfer the image recommended by ITU-T T.4. MH is a code-
book-based run-length encoding scheme optimized to efficiently com-
press white space. As most faxes consist mostly of white space, this
minimizes the transmission time of most faxes.
MMR
Modified Modified READ (MMR) is a compression method recom-
mended by ITU-T T.6.
Modem
A device that modulates a carrier signal to encode digital information,
and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode transmitted infor-
mation.
MR
Modified Read (MR) is a compression method recommended by ITU-T
T.4. MR encodes the first scanned line using MH. The next line is com-
pared to the first, the differences determined, and then the differences
are encoded and transmitted.
Glossary_ 148
NetWare
A network operating system developed by Novell, Inc. It initially used
cooperative multitasking to run various services on a PC, and the net-
work protocols were based on the archetypal Xerox XNS stack. Today

WEP
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security protocol specified in IEEE
802.11 to provide the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP
provides security by encrypting data over radio so that it is protected as
it is transmitted from one end point to another.
WIA
Windows Imaging Architecture (WIA) is an imaging architecture that is
originally introduced in Windows Me and Windows XP. A scan can be
initiated from within these operating systems by using a WIA-compliant
scanner.
WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a class of systems to secure wireless
(Wi-Fi) computer networks, which was created to improve upon the
security features of WEP.
WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK (WPA Pre-Shared Key) is special mode of WPA for small
business or home users. A shared key, or password, is configured in the
wireless access point (WAP) and any wireless laptop or desktop
devices. WPA-PSK generates a unique key for each session between a
wireless client and the associated WAP for more advanced security.
WPS
The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard for establishing a wire-
less home network. If your wireless access point supports WPS, you can
configure the wireless network connection easily without a computer.
XPS
XML Paper Specification (XPS) is a specification for a Page Description
Language (PDL) and a new document format, which has benefits for
portable document and electronic document, developed by Microsoft. It
is an XML-based specification, based on a new print path and a vec-
tor-based device-independent document format.
