Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF)

wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz

Band, may be present (embedded) in your printer system. The

following section is a general overview of considerations while

operating a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific

countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country

group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only

qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio

Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you

will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact

your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless

devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be

embedded in your printer is well below the RF exposure limits

as known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may

be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed

in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations,

manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use.

Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to

minimize human contact during normal operation.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches)

between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless

device near the body (this does not include extremities) is

typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches)

from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in

conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices.

Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

Radio frequency wireless communication can

interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft.

Current aviation regulations require wireless

devices to be turned off while traveling in an

airplane. 802.11B (also known as wireless

Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices

are examples of devices that provide wireless

communication.

In environments where the risk of interference to

other devices or services is harmful or perceived

as harmful, the option to use a wireless device

may be restricted or eliminated. Airports,

Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden

atmospheres are limited examples where use of

wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated.

When in environments where you are uncertain

of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the

applicable authority for authorization prior to use

or turning on the wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the

use of wireless devices. Since your system is

equipped with a wireless device, when traveling

between countries with your system, check with

the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any

move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a

wireless device in the destination country.

If your system came equipped with an internal

embedded wireless device, do not operate the

wireless device unless all covers and shields are

in place and the system is fully assembled.

viii

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not

modify them in any way. Modification to a

wireless device will void the authorization to use

it. Please contact manufacturer for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in

which the device will be used. See the

manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact

manufacturer Technical Support for additional

information.

Connecting a Printer Cable

For Local Printing

To print from your computer in a local environment, you need

to connect your printer to the computer with either a parallel

interface cable or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable.

If you are a Macintosh user, you can use only the USB cable.

OTE

: You only need to connect one of the cables mentioned

above. Do not use the parallel cable and USB cables at the

same time.

Using a Parallel Cable

OTE

: Connecting the printer to the parallel port of the

computer requires a certified parallel cable. You will need to

buy a IEEE1284 compliant cable that is 3 m or less in length.

Make sure that both the printer and the computer are

turned off.

Connect a parallel printer cable into the parallel connector

on the back of the printer.

Push the metal clips down to fit inside the notches on the

cable plug.

Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel interface

port on your computer, and tighten the screws.

See your computer’s User’s Guide, if you need help.

Using a USB Cable

OTE

: Connecting the printer to the USB port of the computer

requires a certified USB cable. You will need to buy a USB 2.0

compliant cable that is within 3 m in length.

Make sure that both the printer and the computer are

turned off.

Connect a USB printer cable into the USB connector on the

back of the printer.

Connect the other end of the cable to the USB port on your

computer.

4Using Print Materials

This chapter will help you understand types of paper you can

use with your printer and how to properly load paper in the

different paper trays for the best print quality.

This chapter includes:

• Choosing Paper and Other Materials

•Loading Paper

• Selecting an Output Location

• Printing on Special Print Materials

Choosing Paper and Other

Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain

paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies, and so on. See “Paper

Specifications” on page 10.2. To get the best possible print

quality, use only high-quality, copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

•

Desired outcome

: The paper you choose should be

appropriate for the project.

•

Size

: You can use any size paper that fits easily within

the paper adjusters of the paper tray.

•

Weight

: Your printer supports paper weight as follows:

-16~28 lbs (60~105 g/m

) bond for the standard tray or

optional Tray2

-16~43 lbs (60~163 g/m

) bond for the Multi-purpose Tray

•

Brightness

: Some papers are whiter than others and

produce sharper, more vibrant images.

•

Surface smoothness

: The smoothness of the paper

affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

AUTION

: Using a material that does not conform to the

specifications listed on page 10.2 can cause problems that

may require service. This service will not be covered by the

warranty or service agreements.

Sizes and Capacities

Guidelines for Paper and Special

Materials

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special

materials, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn

paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part

paper.

• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best

print quality.

• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or a

staples.

• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing, and

never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a

texture that is too smooth or too rough.

• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as

white photocopy paper. The pigments must be able to

withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 383°F

(195°C) for 0.1 seconds without deteriorating. Do not use

paper with a colored coating that was added after the

paper was produced.

Using Print Materials

4.2

• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable,

heat-resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release

hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s

approximately 383°F (195°C) fusing temperature for 0.1

seconds.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to

use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the

floor.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether

it is packaged or unpackaged.

• Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight, or other

conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

OTE

Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. They are

unstable at the fusing temperature and can give of fumes, or

cause damage to the printer.

Loading Paper

Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure

trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tray while a job

is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and

Capacities” on page 4.1 for acceptable paper size and

capacities for each tray.

The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray shows

the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is

empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.

Paper full Paper empty

Using the Standard Tray or the

Optional Tray

Use the print material you use for the majority of your print

jobs in the standard tray. The standard tray can hold a

maximum of 500 sheets of 20lb paper.

You can purchase an optional paper tray (Tray2) and attach it

below the standard tray to load an additional 500 sheets of

paper. See page 9.8 for more information about installing the

optional Tray2.

To load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the

print side down. For details about loading paper in the standard

tray or optional Tray2, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.4.

Using the Multi-purpose Tray

The Multi-purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer. It

can be closed when not in use, making the printer more

compact.

The Multi-purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of

material, such as transparencies, cards, and envelopes. You

may also want to use the Multi-purpose Tray for single page

print jobs on letterheads, colored paper for use as separator

sheets, or other special materials that you do not normally keep

in the paper tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of

plain paper, 10 envelopes, 50 transparencies, 10 card stocks,

or 25 labels at a time.

Standard Tray

Optional Tray2

Multi-purpose Tray

Using Print Materials

4.3

• Load only one size of print material at a time in the

Multi-purpose Tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is

still paper in the Multi-purpose Tray. This also applies to

other types of print materials.

• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top

edge going into the Multi-purpose Tray first, and be

placed on the center of the tray.

• Do not place objects on the Multi-purpose Tray. Also avoid

pressing down or applying excessive force on it. The tray

may fall apart from the printer.

To load paper in the Multi-purpose Tray:

Pull the Multi-purpose Tray down towards you.

Pull the extender to extend the Multi-purpose Tray to hold

longer paper.

If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper

stack to separate the pages before loading.

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid

touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause

print quality problems.

Load the print material on the center of the tray

with the

print side up

If you want to print on previously printed paper from the

Multi-purpose Tray, the printed side should be facing down

with an uncurled edge to the printer. If you experience

problems with paper feeding, turn the paper around.

OTE

: Make sure that you have not loaded too much print

material. The print material buckles if you load a stack that is

too deep or if you push it in too far.

Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of

the print material without causing it to bend.

Now, the display on the control panel prompts you to

confirm the paper size in the Multi-purpose Tray.

Using Print Materials

4.4

OTE

: Your printer cannot automatically detect the size of

paper loaded in the Multi-purpose Tray. Configuring the Multi-

purpose Tray with the correct paper size allows you to select

paper by size rather than paper source when you print from

your software application. You do not have to check which

paper is loaded in the Multi-purpose Tray before printing.

Press the scroll button ( or ) until the size of paper

you loaded appears on the bottom line of the display.

Press the

Enter

button ( ). Now, you are ready to print.

When you print a document, set the paper source and type

Selecting an Output Location

The printer has two output locations; the rear output tray (face

up) and the top output tray (face down).

To use the top output tray, make sure that the rear output tray

is closed. To use the rear output tray, open it.

OTES

• If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems,

such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray.

• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output

tray while the printer is printing.

Printing to the Top Output Tray

(Face

down)

The top output tray collects paper face down, in the order in

which the sheets were printed. The tray should be used for

most print jobs.

OTE

• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the

output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the

surface, especially for children.

• The top output tray can hold up to 250 sheets of paper.

Top output tray

Rear output tray

Printing to the Rear Output Tray

(Face up)

The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open.

Paper comes out of the printer face up, with the last page on

top.

Printing from the Multi-purpose Tray to the rear output tray

provides the

straight paper path

. Opening the rear output

tray might improve the output quality with the following:

• over 100 sheets of paper continuously

•envelopes

•labels

• small custom-sized paper

•postcards

• paper lighter than 60 g/m2 (16 lb) or heavier than 105 g/

m2 (28 lb)

• transparencies: some special transparencies may have

stacking problem by curl. In that case, please use the top

output tray (face down).

To open the rear output tray:

Open the rear door by pulling it down. The cover functions

as the output tray.

AUTION

The fusing area inside the rear output tray of your

printer becomes very hot when in use. Take care not to burn

your fingers when you access this area.

Using Print Materials

Pull the extender to extend the output tray to its full-

length position to hold longer paper.

If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear

output tray, slide the extender to its place and close the

tray. The pages will stack on the top output tray.

OTE

: The rear output tray can hold up to 100 sheets of

paper. If the tray is overloaded with printed pages, it may fall

from the printer. Remove the pages so that the tray is not

overloaded.

Printing on Special Print

Materials

Printing on Envelopes

Guidelines

• Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before

loading envelopes in the Multi-purpose Tray, make sure that

they are undamaged and are not stuck together.

• Load envelopes into the Multi-purpose Tray only.

• Do not feed stamped envelopes.

• Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated

lining, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely

damage the printer.

Open the Multi-purpose Tray and pull the extender.

Open the rear output tray and pull the extender.

Flex or fan the edge of the envelope stack to separate

them before loading.

Load the envelopes into the Multi-purpose Tray

printer first

Using Print Materials

4.7

Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of

the envelope stack without causing it to bend.

When you print, set the paper source, type, and size

properly in the software application. For details, see the

Software User’s Guide

For details about setting on the control panel, see

page 3.3.

After printing, close the Multi-purpose Tray and the rear

output tray.

Printing on Labels

Open the Multi-purpose Tray and pull the extender.

Guidelines

• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing

temperature of 195°C (383°F) for 0.1 second.

• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material

between the labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel

off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed

adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.

• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once, or

print on a partial sheet of labels.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet

or are wrinkled, bubbled, or damaged in any way.

• To prevent labels from sticking together, do not let the

printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out.

Open the rear output tray and pull the extender.

Load labels into the

Multi-purpose Tray

OTES

• If you print on thin transparencies to the rear output tray,

they can be curled. In this case, use the top output tray. If

the problem persists, check if your transparencies meets the

printer’s specifications.

• To prevent transparencies from sticking, do not let the

printed sheets stack up as they are printed out.

• Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them

from the printer.

Printing on Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing on it

before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a

preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).

Guidelines

• Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will

not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when

subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 383 °F (195

°C) for 0.1 second.

• Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not

adversely affect printer rollers.

• Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof

wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and

letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During

the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper,

reducing print quality.

Using Print Materials

4.9

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge

Toner Cartridge Storage

To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the

following guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until

ready for use.

• Do not refill the toner cartridge.

The printer warranty

does not cover damage caused by using a refilled

cartridge.

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the

printer.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose

it to light for more than a few minute.

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner

that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5%

coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 12,000

pages or 6,000 pages depending on its type. (The original toner

cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 6,000

pages.)

Saving Toner

To save toner, press the

Toner Save

button ( ) on the

printer control panel. The button backlight turns on. You can

also enable the Toner Save mode in the printer properties

window or from the control panel menu. For details, see

page 2.8.

Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and

reduce your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.

• Follow the procedures in “Loading Paper” on page 2.4.

Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned

correctly.

• Do not overload the paper tray.

• Do not remove the paper from the tray while printing.

• Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading.

• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.

• Do not mix paper types in the tray.

• Use only recommended print materials. See “Paper

Specifications” on page 10.2.

• Ensure that the recommended print side is facing down in

the tray and facing up in the Multi-purpose Tray.

Solving Print Quality Problems

Dirt inside of the printer or improper paper loading may reduce

print quality. See the table below to troubleshoot problems.

Problem Solution

Light or faded

If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the

page:

• The toner supply is low. You may be able to

temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See

“Redistributing Toner” on page 6.2. If this does not

improve print quality, install a new toner cartridge.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications (for

example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See

“Paper Specifications” on page 10.2.

• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting

is too light or the Toner Save Mode is on. Adjust the

print resolution and the Toner Save mode in the

printer properties. For details, see the

Software

User’s Guide

• A combination of faded or smeared defects may

indicate that the printer needs cleaning. See

“Cleaning the Inside of the Printer” on page 6.9.

• The surface of LSU may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See

“Cleaning the Inside of the Printer” on page 6.9.

Toner specs

• The paper may not meet specifications (for example,

the paper is too moist or too rough). See “Paper

Specifications” on page 10.2.

• The transfer roller or paper path may be dirty. See

“Cleaning the Inside of the Printer” on page 6.9.

Dropouts

If generally rounded, faded areas occur randomly on

the page:

• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try

reprinting the job.

• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the

paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different

brand of paper. See “Paper Specifications” on

page 10.2.

• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes

can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different

kind or brand of paper.

• The toner cartridge may be defective. See “

Vertical

repetitive defects

” on the next page.

• If these steps do not correct the problems, contact a

service representative.

AaBbCc

Solving Problems

7.9

Vertical lines

If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably

been scratched. Install a new toner cartridge.

If white vertical lines appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU may be dirty. Clean the LSU.

See page 6.9.

Gray

background

If the amount of background shading becomes

unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the

problem.

• Change to lighter weight pages. See “Paper

Specifications” on page 10.2.

• Check the printer’s environment; very dry (low

humidity) or high humidity (higher than 80% RH)

conditions can increase the amount of background

shading.

• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new

one. See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on

page 6.3.

Toner smear

• Clean the inside of the printer. See “Cleaning the

Inside” on “Cleaning the Inside of the Printer” on

page 6.9.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper

Specifications” on page 10.2.

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.

See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 6.3.

Vertical

repetitive

defects

If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the

page at even intervals:

• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive

mark occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet

several times to clean the cartridge; see page 6.10.

After the printout, if you still have the same

problems, install a new toner cartridge. See

“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 6.3.

• Parts of the printer may have toner on them. If the

defects occur on the back of the page, the problem

will likely correct itself after a few more pages.

• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a

service representative.

Problem Solution

AaBbCc

Background

scatter

Background scatter results from bits of toner

distributed on the printed page.

• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a

different batch 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 via the printer

properties window.

Misformed

characters

Common Linux Problems

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

I can’t change

settings in the

configuration tool.

You need to have administrator privileges to be able

to affect global settings.

I am using the KDE

desktop but the

configuration tool

and LLPR won’t

start.

Maybe you do not have the GTK libraries installed.

These usually come with most Linux distributions, but

you may have to install them manually. Refer to your

distribution’s installation manual for more details

about installing additional packages.

I just installed this

package but can’t

find entries in the

KDE/Gnome menus.

Some versions of the KDE or GNOME desktop

environments may require that you restart your

session for the changes to take effect.

I get a “Some

options are not

selected” error

message while

editing the printer

settings.

Some printers have conflicting settings, meaning that

some settings for two options can’t be selected at the

same time. When you change a setting and the

Printer Package detects such a conflict, the conflicting

option is changed to a “No Choice” value, and you

have to choose an option that does not conflict before

being able to submit the changes.

I can’t make a

printer the system

default.

In some conditions, it may not be possible to change

the default queue. This happens with some variants

of LPRng, especially on recent RedHat systems that

use the “printconf” database of queues.

When using printconf, the /etc/printcap file is

automatically refreshed from the database of printers

managed by the system (usually through the

“printtool” command), and the queues in /etc/

printcap.local are appended to the resulting file. Since

the default queue in LPRng is defined as the first

queue in /etc/printcap, therefore it is not possible for

the Linux Printer Package to change the default when

some queues have otherwise been defined using

printtool.

LPD systems identify the default queue as the one

named “lp”. Thus, if there is already a queue by this

name, and if it doesn’t have an alias, then you won’t

be able to change the default. To work around this,

you can either delete the queue or rename it by

manually editing the /etc/printcap file.

The N-up setting

does not work

correctly for some

of my documents.

The N-up feature is achieved through post-processing

of the PostScript data that is being sent to the

printing system. However, such post-processing can

only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data

conforms to the Adobe Document Structuring

Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up

and other features relying on post-processing if the

document being printed isn’t compliant.

Solving Problems

7.14

I am using BSD lpr

(Slackware, Debian,

older distributions)

and some options

chosen in LLPR

don’t seem to take

effect.

Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on the

length of the option string that can be passed to the

printing system. As such, if you selected a number of

different options, the length of the options may have

exceeded and some of your choices won’t be passed

to the programmes responsible for implementing

them. Try to select fewer options that deviate from

the defaults, to save on memory usage.

I am trying to print

a document in

Landscape mode,

but it prints rotated

and cropped.

Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape

orientation option in their printing options will

generate correct PostScript code that should be

printed as is. In that case, you need to make sure

that you leave the LLPR option set to its default

Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the

page that would result in cropped output.

Some pages come

out all white

(nothing is printed),

and I am using

CUPS.

If the data being sent is in Encapsulated PostScript

(EPS) format, some earlier versions of CUPS (1.1.10

and before) have a bug preventing them from being

processed correctly. When going through LLPR to

print, the Printer Package will work around this issue

by converting the data to regular PostScript. However,

if your application bypasses LLPR and feeds EPS data

to CUPS, the document may not print correctly.

I can’t print to an

SMB (Windows)

printer.

To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers

(such as printers shared on a Windows machine), you

need to have a correct installation of the SAMBA

package that enables that feature. The “smbclient”

command should be available and usable on your

system.

My application

seems to be frozen

while LLPR is

running.

Most Unix applications will expect a command like the

regular “lpr” command to be non-interactive and thus

return immediately. Since LLPR is waiting for user

input before passing the job on to the print spooler,

very often the application will wait for the process to

return, and thus will appear to be frozen (its windows

won’t refresh). This is normal and the application

should resume functioning correctly after the user

exits LLPR.

How do I specify the

IP address of my

SMB server?

It can be specified in the “Add Printer” dialogue of the

configuration tool, if you don’t use the CUPS printing

system. Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn’t allow

to specify the IP address of SMB printers, so you will

have to be able to browse the resource with SAMBA in

order to be able to print.

Some documents

come out as white

pages when

printing.

Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with

Mandrake Linux before the 8.1 release, have some

known bugs when processing PostScript output from

some applications. Try upgrading to the latest version

of CUPS (at least 1.1.14). Some RPM packages for

most popular distributions are provided as a

convenience with this Linux Printing Package.

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

I have CUPS and

some options (such

as N-up) seem to be

always enabled

even though I don’t

pick them in LLPR.

There may be some local options defined in your ~/

.lpoptions file, which is manipulated by the lpoptions

command. These options will always be used if not

overridden by LLPR settings. To get rid of all options

for a printer, run the following command, replacing

“printer” with the name of the queue: lpoptions -x

printer

I configured a

printer to print to a

file, but I get

“Permission denied”

errors.

Most printing systems will not run as the super-user

but as a special user (usually “lp”). Therefore, make

sure that the file you have chosen to print to is

accessible to the user owning the spooler daemon.

On my PCL (or SPL)

printer, I sometimes

get error messages

printing instead of

my document.

Unfortunately, some Unix applications may generate

non-compliant PostScript output that may not be

supported by Ghostscript, or even the printer itself in

PostScript mode. You can try to capture the output to

a file and view the results with Ghostscript (gv or

ghostview will allow you to do so interactively) and

see if you get error messages. However, since the

application is fault at probably, contact your software

vendor to inform them of the issue.

Some color images

come out all black.

This a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU

Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color space

of the document is indexed color space and it is

converted through CIE color space.

Because Postscript uses CIE color space for Color

Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on

your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 7.06

or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at

www.ghostscript. com.

authentication (Open System). If required by your

network, the proper authentication method must be

configured on the print server.

•

Encryption

: “None”, “64-bit WEP”, or “128-bit WEP”.

Default setting is “None”. If your network uses WEP

encryption keys, you must configure the encryption keys.

You can configure up to four keys. The active key must

match the value and active key position (for example,

Key 1) configured on other wireless devices.

9Installing Printer

Options

Your printer is a full-featured laser printer that has been

optimized to meet most of your printing needs. Recognizing

that each user may have different requirements, however,

Samsung makes several options available to enhance the

printer’s capabilities.

This chapter includes:

• Precautions When Installing Printer Options

• Installing Memory DIMM

• Installing a Network Card or Serial Interface Card

• Using the Hard Disk

• Installing an Optional Paper Tray

• Installing a Duplex Unit

Precautions When Installing

Printer Options

DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD:

Never remove the printer control board while the printer is

plugged in.

To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect

the power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or

external printer option.

DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY:

The control board and internal printer options (Memory DIMM,

Network and Serial Interface Cards, and Hard Disk) are

sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or removing an

internal option, discharge static electricity from your body by

touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any

device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk

round before finishing installation, discharge any static

electricity once again.

Installing Memory DIMM

Your printer has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot. Use

this DIMM slot to install more memory for the printer.

OTE

: Your printer has 32 MB of memory which can be

expanded to 288 MB. Use only Samsung-approved 100 pin

SDRAM DIMM, part numbers ML- 00MC (32 MB), or ML-00MD

(288 MB). Contact your Samsung dealer.

Turn the printer power off and unplug all cables from the

printer.

Remove the duplex-slot cover from the back of the printer.

If you installed an optional duplex unit, remove it from the

printer.

Installing Printer Options

9.2

Hold the control board cover and remove it.

Completely open the latches on each side of the DIMM

slot.

Remove the memory DIMM from its antistatic package.

Locate the alignment notches on the bottom edge of the

DIMM.

Holding the memory DIMM by the edges, align the notches

on the memory DIMM with the grooves on the memory

DIMM slot.

located on either side of the DIMM.

Replace the control board cover.

Reinstall the duplex-slot cover or the optional duplex unit.

Reconnect the power cord and printer cable, and turn the

printer on.

After installing the memory DIMM, you need to select it in the

printer properties of the PostScript printer driver so that you

can use it with your printer:

Make sure that the PostScript printer driver is installed in

your computer. To installing the PS printer driver, you need

to selct

Installing a Network Card or

Serial Interface Card

The procedure for installing a network interface card is the

same as the procedure for installing a serial interface card.

Check to see if there are any missing parts in your optional

network or serial interface card package.

Tips for using the Network Interface Card

• The ML-3561N, ML-3561ND and ML-3562W comes with a

built-in network interface card. The ML-3562W also has a

network antenna which allows you to use a wireless LAN

interface.

• If you use a ML-3560 user, you need to install an optional

network interface card.

• If you want to use the printer in both wired and wireless

network environments, you need to install an optional

wired/wireless network interface card in both ML-3560,

ML-3561N and ML-3561ND.

• When you purchase a wired/wireless network interface

card, the antenna connected to the card may not be

separated from the card, depending on your country.

Review the precautions on page 9.1 and then follow this

procedure to install the network or serial interface card in your

printer.

Turn the printer power off and unplug all cables from the

printer.

Remove the duplex-slot cover from the back of the printer.

If you installed an optional duplex unit, remove it from the

printer.

OTES

• Do not print on both sides of labels, transparencies,

envelopes, or thick paper. Paper jamming and damage to the

printer may result.

• To use double-sided printing, you can use only the following

paper sizes: A4, Letter, Legal, and Folio, with a weight of

20~24lbs (75~90g/m

There are two ways to enable or disable the double-sided

printing:

Using the Control Panel Menu

You can use the

Paper Specifications

Overview

Your printer accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-

sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content

paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size

paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and

moisture content, are important factors affecting the printer’s

performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet

the guidelines outlined in this User’s Guide can cause the

following problems:

• Poor print quality

• Increased paper jams

• Premature wear on the printer.

OTES

• Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide and

still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result

of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and

humidity levels, or other variables over which Samsung has

no control.

• Before purchasing large quantities of paper, ensure that the

paper meets the requirements specified in this User’s Guide.

AUTION

: Using paper that does not meet these

specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. These

repairs are not covered by the Samsung warranty or service

agreements.

Guidelines for Using Paper

For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m

(20 lb) paper.

Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks,

tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled

or bent edges.

If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such

as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package.

The following problems may cause print quality deviations,

jamming or even damage to the printer.

OTES

• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature

inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.

• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.

• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the

paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use

inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (195

°C or 383 °F for 0.1 second).

Paper Output Capacity

Printer and Paper Storage

Environment

Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed

operation.

Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at

or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.

Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses

moisture rapidly.

Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the

moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to

condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners

remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened

and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.

Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to

increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any

excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as

paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This

can cause paper jams.

Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be

used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long

periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which

can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to

large supplies of paper.

Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several

months before use. Opened packages of paper have more

potential for environment damage, especially if they are not

wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.

The paper storage environment should be properly maintained

to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition

is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45%

to 55%. The following guidelines should be considered when

evaluating the paper’s storage environment:

• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.

• The air should not be too dry or too humid.

• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to

rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the

printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only

the amount of paper to be used during the day’s

operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Envelopes

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary

considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within

a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on

envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When

selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not

exceed 90 g/m

(24 lb) or jamming may occur.

• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat

with less than 6 mm (0.25 in) curl, and should not

contain air.

• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or

otherwise damaged.

• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are

compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer.

• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following

size ranges.

OTES

• Use only the Multi-purpose Tray to print envelopes.

• You may experience some paper jams when using any media

with a length less than 127 mm (5.0 in). This may be caused

by paper that has been affected by environmental

conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are

storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to

“Printer and Paper Storage Environment” on page 10.4.

Specifications

10.5

Envelopes with Double Side Seams

Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both

ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style

may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the

way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.

Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one

flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with

the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips

might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even

damage the fuser.

Envelope Margins

The following gives typical address margins for a commercial

#10 or DL envelope.

OTES

• For best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm

(0.6 in) from the edges of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams

meet.

Envelope Storage

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.

Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,

creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during

printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.6.

Type of Address Minimum Maximum

Return address 15 mm (0.6 in.) 51 mm (2 in.)

Delivery address 51 mm (2 in.) 89 mm (3.5 in.)

Correct

Incorrect

Labels

AUTIONS

• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended

for laser printers.

• To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-purpose Tray

to print labels and always use the rear output tray.

• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and

never print on a partial sheet of labels.

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 195

°C (383 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.

• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing

between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces

between the labels, causing serious jams.

• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more

than 13 mm (0.5 in) of curl in any direction.

• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or

other indications of separation.

See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.7.

Transparencies

Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand

140 °C (284 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.

AUTION

To avoid damaging the printer, use only

transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.8.
