Printing on Both Sides of the Paper (Manual Duplexing)

To print on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing), you

must run the paper through the printer twice. You can print

using the top output tray (face down tray) or the rear output

tray (face up tray). Samsung recommends using the top

output tray for light-weight paper. Use the rear output tray for

any heavy media or media that tends to curl when printed,

such as envelopes and card stock.

Using Page Overlay

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD

as a special file format that can be printed on any document

you choose. Overlays are often used to take the place of

preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using

preprinted letterhead, for example, you can create an overlay

containing the exact same information that is currently on

your letterhead. Then when you want to print a letter with

your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted

letterhead paper in the printer. You need only to tell the

printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

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

6.1

MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER

Maintaining Toner Cartridge

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

storage

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 8,000 pages. (But, the

toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of

4,000 pages.)

Toner cartridge life

expectancy

After you install a new toner cartridge (see page 2.2), follow the

instructions included in the toner cartridge box to recycle the old

cartridge.

Recycling toner

cartridge

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.

Saving toner

6.2

MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER

Toner Cartridge

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.

Redistributing Toner

Open the top cover.

Remove the toner cartridge from the

printer.

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 of f with a dry cloth

and wash clothing in cold water. HHoott

Reinsert the toner cartridge into the

printer. Be sure that the toner cartridge

is firmly in its place.

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 2.2.

6.4

MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER

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.

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 Outside

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 the Inside

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for

the printer to cool.

Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge.

With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner

from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

Cleaning inside the

printer

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.

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.

6.5

MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER

Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover. Then, turn

the printer on.

Cleaning the Printer

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.

Make sure the printer is turned on and in the ready state and

that there is paper loaded in the paper tray.

Press and hold Demo on the control panel for about 10 seconds

until all control panel lights remain steadily lit, then release.

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 cottom black.

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 7.7. If jams occur frequently, make sure you are

following these tips to avoid jams.

• Follow the procedures in “Load Paper” on page 2.4 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 Tray 1.

Labels or transparencies must be fed using the Multi-Purpose

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 Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 and

facing up when loading into the Multi-Purpose Tray.

• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.

Solving Print Quality Problems

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 5.19).

• 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 2.2).

Print Quality Checklist

Solving Print Quality Problems

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 the 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 A.2.

• If the whole page is light, the print resolution setting is too

light or Toner Save Mode may be on. Adjust the print

resolution and Toner Save Mode within the printer

properties. See page 5.18.

• A combination of faded and smeared defects may indicate

that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the

Printer” on page 6.4.

• The surface of the LSU part inside the printer may be dirty.

Clean the LSU (see page 6.5).

Toner specks

If faded areas, generally rounded, 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 kind or brand

of paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.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 Repetitive vertical

defects” on page 7.18.

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

service representative.

Dropouts

If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The photosensitive drum inside the toner cartridge has

probably been scratched. Install a new toner cartridge.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU part inside the printer may be dirty.

Clean the LSU (see page 6.5).

Problem Solution

If the amount of background toner shading becomes

unacceptable, the procedures below may help to clear the

condition:

• Change the paper to a lighter basis weight. See “Paper

Specifications” on page A.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.

• Install a new toner cartridge.

Gray background

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

on page 6.4.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper

Specifications” on page A.2.

• Try installing a new toner cartridge.

Toner smear

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 every 95 mm or 38 mm on the page, print the

cleaning sheet several times to clean the cartridge (see

page 6.5). If you still have the same problems, install a

new toner cartridge.

• Parts in 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.

Page skew

Solving Print Quality Problems

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 from the air.

• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change your

printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have

overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams

can cause this problem.

• If background scatter covers the entire surface of a printed

page, adjust the print resolution through your software

application or the printer properties.
