(Windows 2000/XP) PRINTING TASKS 5.33 CHAPTER 6 Maintaining Your Printer This chapter provides suggestions for high-quality and economical printing and information for maintaining the toner cartridge and the printer. Topics included in this chapter are: ◆ Maintaining Toner Cartridge ◆ Cleaning the Printer Maintaining Toner Cartridge Toner cartridge storage To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in your mind. • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened package is approximately 2 years. The shelf life of a cartridge in an opened package is approximately 6 months. • Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge. • Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer. • Do not remove a toner cartridge from the printer except to replace it, clean it or clear a paper jam. Replace the cartridge immediately. • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Toner cartridge life expectancy The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5 % coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 6,000 pages. (But, the toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 3,000 pages.) Recycling toner cartridge After you install a new toner cartridge (see page 2.3), follow the instructions included in the toner cartridge box to recycle the old cartridge. Saving toner To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer control panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the Toner Save Mode in your printer properties. Refer to “Using Toner Save Mode” on page 5.6. Selecting this option will expand the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce print quality. MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER 6.1 Toner Cartridge Redistributing Toner When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge. Open the top cover. Remove the toner cartridge from the printer. CAUTIONS: • Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be hot. • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. 6.2 MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER Toner Cartridge Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side 5 or 6 times to redistribute the toner. Note: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer. Be sure that the toner cartridge is firmly in its place. Firmly close the cover. If the print remains light Remove the old cartridge and install a new toner cartridge. See “Install the Toner Cartridge” on page 2.3. MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER 6.3 Cleaning the Printer To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below every time the toner cartridge is replaced or whenever print quality problems occur. As much as possible, keep the printer free from dust and debris. Notes: • Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents such as thinner, on or around the printer. These can damage the printer. • While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge ). The oil from your hands on the roller can cause print quality problems. Cleaning the Outside Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to be let any water drip onto the printer or inside of it. Cleaning the Inside During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can cause print quality problems such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning inside the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems. Cleaning inside the 1 printer Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for the printer to cool. 2 Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge. Note: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. Also, do not touch the black transfer roller inside the printer. By doing so, you can damage the printer. 6.4 MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER 3 With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity. Cleaning the Printer 4 Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if dirt turns the white cotton black. 5 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover. Then, turn the printer on. Printing a cleaning sheet Printing a cleaning sheet cleans the drum inside the toner cartridge. Use this process if you are experiencing blurred, faded or smeared printouts. This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded. 1 Make sure the printer is turned on and in the ready state and that there is paper loaded in the paper tray. 2 Press and hold Demo on the control panel for about 10 seconds until all control panel lights remain steadily lit, then release. Error Manual Paper Data Cancel/Reprint Demo Toner Save Note: The cartridge cleaning process takes some time. To stop the printing, turn the power off. 3 Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the paper tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with the dust or toner particles on it. MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER 6.5 CHAPTER 7 Problem Solving This chapter gives helpful information for what to do if you encounter a printer error. It provides information on the following topics: ◆ Troubleshooting Checklist ◆ Solving General Printing Problems ◆ Clearing Paper Jams ◆ Solving Print Quality Problems ◆ Troubleshooting Error Messages ◆ Common Windows Problems ◆ Common Macintosh Problems Troubleshooting Checklist If the printer is not working properly, complete the following checklist in order. If the printer does not pass a step, follow the corresponding troubleshooting suggestions. Check Solution Make sure that the Data light on the control panel is on. • If no lights are on, check the power cord connection. Check the power switch. Check the power source by plugging into another outlet. • If other lights are on, go to “Troubleshooting Error Messages” on page 7.21. Press the Demo button to print a demo page to verify that the printer is feeding paper correctly. See page 2.9. • If a demo page does not print, check the paper supply in the paper tray. • If the paper jams in the printer, go to “ Clearing Paper Jams” on page 7.6. • If the Error indicator light is illuminated on the control panel, go to “Troubleshooting Error Messages” on page 7.21. Check the demo page to see if it is printed correctly. If there is a print quality problem, go to “Solving Print Quality Problems” on page 7.15. Print a short document from a software application to verify that the computer and printer are connected and are communicating correctly. • If the page does not print, check the cable connection between the printer and computer. • Check the print queue or print spooler (print monitor in Mac) to see if the printer has been paused. • Check the software application to make sure you are using the proper printer driver and communication port. If the page is interrupted during printing, go to “Solving General Printing Problems” on page 7.2. If completing the checklist did not diagnose the problem with the printer, check the following troubleshooting sections. • • • • “Solving General Printing Problems” on page 7.2. “Troubleshooting Error Messages” on page 7.21. “Common Windows Problems” on page 7.24. “Common Macintosh Problems” on page 7.25. PROBLEM SOLVING 7.1 Solving General Printing Problems If you have any problems with the operation of your ML-1440 printer, refer to the table for suggested solutions.

Check the printer for the following: • • • • • The printer may be in manual feed mode and out of paper. (The Manual and the Data lights are blinking.) Add paper to the Manual tray, and press the Demo button on the printer’s control panel. The connection cable between the computer and the printer is not connected properly. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect it. The connection cable between the computer and the printer is defective. If possible, attach the cable to another computer that is working properly and print a job. You may also try using a different printer cable. The port setting is incorrect. Check the Windows printer setting to make sure that the print job is sent to the correct port (for example, LPT1). If the computer has more than one port, make sure the printer is attached to the correct one. The printer cover is not closed. Paper is jammed. No paper is loaded. Toner cartridge is not installed. Printer system error occurs. Contact a service representative. Solving General Printing Problems Problem Possible Cause Solution The printer may be configured incorrectly. Check the printer properties to make sure that all print settings are correct. The printer driver may be incorrectly installed. Remove the printer driver, then reinstall the printer driver. Try printing a demo page. The printer is malfunctioning. Check the lights on the control panel to determine if the printer is indicating a system error. Printer selects media from the wrong paper source. The paper source selection in the printer properties may be incorrect. For many software applications the paper source selection is found under the Paper tab within the printer properties. Select the correct paper source. Paper does not feed into the printer. Paper has not been loaded correctly. Remove paper from the paper tray and reload it correctly. There is too much paper in the paper tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. The paper is too thick. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the printer. The job may be very complex. Reduce the complexity of the page or try adjusting the print quality settings. If this problem occurs frequently, add memory to the printer. The printer does not print. (continued) Print job is extremely slow. The maximum speed of 14 pages per minute cannot be exceeded even when more memory is added. If using Windows 9x/Me, From the Start menu, choose Settings the Spooling Setting may and Printers. Right-click the Samsung be set incorrectly. ML-1440 Series printer icon, choose Properties, click the Details tab, and then choose the Spool Settings button. Select the desired spool setting from the available choices. PROBLEM SOLVING 7.3 Solving General Printing Problems Problem Half of the page is blank. The paper keeps jamming. The printer prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete. 7.4 PROBLEM SOLVING Possible Cause Solution The page layout is too complex. Simplify the page layout and remove any unnecessary graphics from the document, if possible. The page orientation setting may be incorrect. Change the page orientation in your application. The paper size and the paper size settings do not match. Make sure that the paper size in the print settings matches the paper in the paper tray. There is too much paper in the paper tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. If printing special media, use the Manual Tray. An incorrect type of paper is being used. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the printer. An incorrect output method is being used. Media such as thick paper should not be printed using the standard facedown stacker. Use the rear face-up output tray instead. There may be debris inside the machine. Open the top cover and remove the debris. The printer cable is loose or defective. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect it. Try a print job that you know works. If possible, attach the cable and printer to another computer and try a print job that you know works. Finally, try a new printer cable. The wrong printer driver was selected. Check the application’s printer selection menu to make sure that your printer is selected. Solving General Printing Problems Problem Possible Cause The printer prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete. (continued) The software application is malfunctioning. Try printing a job from another application. The operating system is malfunctioning. Exit Windows and reboot the computer. Turn the printer off and then back on again. Pages print, but are totally blank. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. Replace the toner cartridge. The sealing tape may still be in the toner cartridge. Remove the toner cartridge and pull out the sealing tape. Reinstall the toner cartridge, and check by printing a demo page. The file may have blank pages. Check the file to make sure that it does not contain blank pages. Some parts, such as the controller or the board, may be defective. Contact a service representative. Solution PROBLEM SOLVING 7.5 Clearing Paper Jams Occasionally, paper can become jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include: • The paper tray is loaded improperly or overfilled. • The paper tray has been pulled out during a print job. • The top cover has been opened during a print job. • Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2. • Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2. If a paper jam occurs, the Paper and the Error lights remain lit on the control panel. Find and remove the jammed paper. If the location of the paper jam is not obvious, look inside the printer. Output Area Note: Paper jams in this area may result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water because hot water will set the toner into the fabric. If the paper is almost completely visible from the top output tray, pull the remaining paper carefully out of the printer. 7.6 PROBLEM SOLVING Clearing Paper Jams If the jammed paper is not visible or there is resistance when you pull the paper, open the rear output tray. Remove the stopper as shown, then push the tray down so that it is open at 90 degrees angle. If there is resistance when you pull the paper, squeeze the handle on the right end of the exit roller 1 , then pull the roller in the direction of arrow 2 . Exit roller Remove the jammed paper. PROBLEM SOLVING 7.7 Clearing Paper Jams Replace the exit roller. Make sure that you click the right end of the roller back in place. If you fail to do so, the printer system will recognize that the printer cover is open or that a system fuser error has occurred, and the Error light on the control panel will turn on. Replace the stopper as shown, and close the rear output tray. To resume printing, open the top cover, and then close it close it again. Note: If the Paper and the Error lights do not turn off, there is still jammed paper inside the printer. Check the input area and the inside of the printer. 7.8 PROBLEM SOLVING Clearing Paper Jams Input Area Note: If paper has entered the toner cartridge area, follow the instructions on page 7.10. It is easier to remove such jams from the inside of the printer than the paper input area. Slide out Auto tray to expose the jammed paper. Remove any misfed paper by pulling it out by the visible edge from the tray. Make sure that all of the paper is properly aligned in the tray. Note: If the paper is jammed in the paper feed area and cannot be accessed from inside the printer, remove Tray 1 from the printer and carefully pull the jammed paper free from the printer. Slide the tray back into the printer. PROBLEM SOLVING 7.9 Clearing Paper Jams To resume printing, open the top cover, and then close it again. Note: If the Paper and the Error lights do not turn off, there is still jammed paper inside the printer. Check the inside of the printer. Inside the Printer Note: Paper jams in this area may result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water because hot water will set the toner into the fabric. Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Place a piece of paper over the top of the toner cartridge to shield it while it is out of the printer. Carefully lift up the guide feed. Guide feed 7.10 PROBLEM SOLVING Clearing Paper Jams Gently pull the paper toward you to remove it from the printer. Flip down the guide feed, and reinstall the toner cartridge. Note: If the toner cartridge is difficult to reinstall, make sure the guide feed has been flipped back down into position. Close the top cover. Printing can be resumed. Note: If you have the optional Tray 2 installed, and cannot find the jammed paper in the output or input area, or inside the printer, the paper jam may have occurred in the optional Tray 2. See the next page to clear the jammed paper in the optional tray. PROBLEM SOLVING 7.11 Clearing Paper Jams In the Optional Tray 2 Pull the option Tray 2 out of the printer. If you see the jammed paper, remove the paper from the tray. If you cannot find the jammed paper in the Tray 2, pull the upper Tray 1 half way out of the printer, and remove the paper as shown in the figure at right. 7.12 PROBLEM SOLVING Clearing Paper Jams Slide the trays back into the printer. Open the top cover, then close it again. Printing can be resumed. PROBLEM SOLVING 7.13 Clearing Paper Jams Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams By selecting correct paper types and loading them properly, you should be able to avoid most paper jams. If paper jams occur, follow the steps outlined in “Clearing Paper Jams” on page 7.6. If jams occur frequently, make sure you are following these tips to avoid jams. • Follow the procedures in “Load Paper” on page 2.5 to load the paper properly. Make sure the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. • Do not overload the paper tray. Make sure the paper is under the paper capacity mark on the inside of the paper tray. • Do not pull out the paper tray while print jobs are in process. • Flex, fan and straighten the paper before loading it. • Do not load stacks of labels or transparencies in the Tray 1. Labels or transparencies must be fed using the Manual Tray. • Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp or highly curled paper. • Do not mix paper types in the paper tray. • Use only recommended print media. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2. • Make sure that the recommended print side is facing down when loading the paper into the Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 and facing up when loading into the Manual Tray. • Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. 7.14 PROBLEM SOLVING Solving Print Quality Problems Print Quality Checklist General print quality problems can be solved by following the checklist below. • Check the printer properties to make sure that you are using the best available print quality option (see page 5.18). • Redistribute the toner in the toner cartridge (see page 6.2). • Clean the inside of the printer (see page 6.4). • Adjust the print resolution from the printer properties (see page 5.18). • Check to make sure that Toner Save Mode is off (see page 5.6). • Troubleshoot general printing problems (see page 7.2). • Install a new toner cartridge, then check print quality again (see page 2.3).

Smoothness - 100 to 250 (Sheffield) Note: You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length of less than 148 mm (5.83 in.). For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage Environment” on page A.6. APPENDIX A.3 Paper Specifications Guidelines for Using Paper For best results, use conventional 90 g/m2 (24 lb) paper. Make sure 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), check the label on the package of the paper. The following problems with paper can cause print quality deviations, jamming, or even damage to the printer. Symptom Problem with Paper Solution Poor print quality or toner adhesion Problems with feeding Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed; faulty paper lot Try another kind of paper, between 100 ~ 250 Sheffield, 4 ~ 5 % moisture content. Dropout, jamming, curl Stored improperly Store paper flat in its moistureproof wrapping. Increased gray background shading /printer wear Too heavy Use lighter paper, open the rear output tray. Excessive curl problems with feeding Too moist, wrong grain direction or short-grain construction • Open the rear output tray. • Use long-grain paper. Jamming, damage to printer Cutouts or perforations Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Problems with feeding Ragged edges Use good quality paper Notes: • Do not use letterhead paper that is 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. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second). A.4 APPENDIX Paper Specifications Paper Specifications Category Specifications Acid Content 5.5 ~ 8.0 pH Caliper .094 ~ .18 mm (3.0 ~ 7.0 mils) Curl in Ream Flat within 5 mm (.02 in.) Cut Edge Conditions Cut with sharp blades with no visible fray. Fusing Compatibility Must not scorch, melt, offset, or release hazardous emissions when heated to 200 °C (392 °F) for .1 second. Grain Long Grain Moisture Content 4 % ~ 6 % by weight Smoothness 100 ~ 250 Sheffield Paper Output Capacity Output Tray Capacity Top output (Face-down) tray 250 sheets of 20 lb bond (75 g/m2) paper Rear output (Face-up) tray 100 sheets of 20 lb bond (75 g/m2) paper APPENDIX A.5 Paper Specifications Printer and Paper Storage Environment Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper 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 distort. This can cause paper jams. As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation. Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be easily 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 a large supply 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 helpful 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 (due to the hygroscopic properties of paper). • 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. A.6 APPENDIX Paper Specifications 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/m2 (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. Minimum Maximum Manual Tray 98 X 148 mm (3.9 X 5.83 in.) 216 X 356 mm (8.5 X 14 in.) Optional Tray 2 148 X 210 mm (5.82 X 8.25 in.) 216 X 356 mm (8.5 X 14 in.) Note: You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than 148 mm (5.83 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 A.6. APPENDIX A.7 Paper Specifications 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. Correct Incorrect Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps Envelope Margins 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. The following gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope. 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.) Notes: • 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 A.8 APPENDIX 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 4.9. Paper Specifications Labels CAUTIONS: • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for laser printers. • To prevent serious jams, always use the Manual 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 200 °C (392 °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 16 mm (.61 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 4.12. Transparencies Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature. CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.13.

Adjust the side guide to lightly touch the print media. If necessary, adjust the rear side guide by pulling up on the tab and sliding the guide to the left. If necessary, Pinch the rear width guide and slide it forward until it lightly touches the print media. Notes: • Do not push the width guide far enough to cause the media to warp. • If you do not adjust the width guide, it may cause a paper jam.
