REGULATORY COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 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, 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. IEEE 802.11 (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.
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.
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.

Network setup_30
Setting IP address
Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and
managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically
assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located
on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a
static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.
•DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the
report.
•Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address
from your computer.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network
administrator to set this address for you.

• See "Installing network connected machine’s driver" on page 31.
USING A WIRELESS NETWORK
Choosing your network connection
Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and
the machine at a time. There are three types of network connections to
consider.
•Wireless network without Access Point (Ad-Hoc mode)
•Wireless network with an Access Point (Infrastructure mode)
How to print a network configuration report
You can identify the network settings of your machine by printing a network
configuraltion report.
To print the report:
In ready mode, press and hold the (cancel button) for about 5 seconds.
You can find your machine’s MAC address and IP address.
For example:
•MAC Address : 00:15:99:41:A2:78
•IP Address : 192.0.0.192
IP addresses
Every device in a network has a unique numerical address called an IP
Address. Your machine came with a Default IP address of 192.0.0.192,
which you can verify by printing out a Network Configuration Report or
Configuration Report.
•DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the
report.
•Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address
from your computer. (See "Setting IP address" on page 30.)
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network
administrator to set this address for you.
Wireless network name and Network Key
Wireless networks require higher security, so when an Access Point is first
set up, a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network
Key are created for the network. Locate this information before proceeding
with the machine installation.
After choosing your configuration, follow the simple directions for your
computer operating system, but first locate the Printer Software
installation CD-ROM supplied with the machine before proceeding.
Installing a wireless network cables
You can install a wireless network to connect to the machine with either a
USB cable or a network cable. For most users, we recommend using a
USB cable with the program provided in the supplied software CD.
The following are two ways to install a wireless network with cables.
• With a USB cable: You can simply set up a wireless network using the
program in the supplied software CD. Only Windows and Macintosh
operating system are supported. (See "Setting a wireless network with
USB cable" on page 2.)
You can also install a wireless network in Printer Settings Utility
with USB cable after installing driver. (Windows and Macintosh
operating system are supported.)
Infrastructure mode wireless networks
The most common network configurations include
the use of a network hub, router, or wireless
Access Point as shown. You may connect directly
to one of these devices using a standard network
cable or wirelessly to the Access Point.
Most Infrastructure mode networks use a Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol Server (DHCP) to
automatically assign an IP address and set other
network parameters. In home wireless networks,
the Access Point performs this function.
(See "Installing the machine on a wireless network
with an Access Point (Windows)" on page 3 or
"Installing the machine on a wireless network with
an Access Point (Macintosh)" on page 4.)
Ad-Hoc mode wireless networks
Alternately, if you do not have a standard network
as above you can still use the machine wirelessly
from a computer with wireless capabilities by
setting up a simple Ad-Hoc, of peer-to-peer,
network as shown here.
(See "Installing the machine on an Ad-Hoc
wireless network (Windows)" on page 2 or
"Installing the machine on a wireless network with
an Access Point (Macintosh)" on page 4.)
Wireless network setup_2
• With a network cable: You can set up a wireless network using the
SyncThru™ Web Service program. (See "Setting a wireless network
with network cable" on page 6.)
SETTING A WIRELESS NETWORK WITH USB
CABLE
Refer to your network administrator, or the person that set up your
wireless network, for information about your network configuration.

Setting IP address
Firstly, you have to set up an IP address for network printing and
managements. In most cases a new IP address will be automatically
assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server located
on the network.
In a few situations the IP address must be set manually. This is called a
static IP and is often required in corporate Intranets for security reasons.
•DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the
machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the
report.G(See "How to print a network configuration report" on page 1.)
•Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address
from your computer.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network
administrator to set this address for you.

This chapter provides information on how to load print media into your machine.
This chapter includes:
•Selecting print media
•Changing the tray size
•Loading paper in the tray
•Printing on special media
•Using the output support
SELECTING PRINT MEDIA
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines
for use with your machine.
Guidelines to select the print media
Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide
may cause the following problems:
•Poor print quality
•Increased paper jams
•Premature wear on the machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are
important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are
described in print media specifications. (See "Print media specifications"
on page 44.)
•Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.
•Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
•Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of
improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels,
or other variables over which cannot be controlled.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it
meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause
problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by the
warranty or service agreements.
The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media
type used. (See "Print media specifications" on page 44.)

Media and tray_13
Manual tray
The manual tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as
postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on
letterhead or colored paper.
Tips on using the manual tray
•If you select Manual Feeder for Source from your software
application, you need to press (cancel button) each time you print
a page and load only one type, size and weight of print media at a
time in the manual tray.
•To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing. This also
applies to other types of print media.
•Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into
the manual tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
•Always load the specified print media only to avoid paper jams and
print quality problems. (See "Print media specifications" on page 44.)
•Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading
them into the manual tray.
1. Load the paper in the manual tray.
• Do not force the paper beyond the surface with mark

Media and tray_14
Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print an envelope, the stamp area is on the left side and the end of the
envelope with the stamp area enters the printer first and center of the
manual tray.
If envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, crease or black bold lines, open
the rear cover and pull down the pressure lever and try printing again. Keep
the rear cover opened during printing.
•When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m2 otherwise, jam may occur.
-Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than 6 mm curl, and should not contain air.
-Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor
damaged.
-Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine during operation.
•Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.
•Do not use stamped envelopes.
•Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining,
self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
•Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
•Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
•Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that
folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s
fusing temperature (about 170°C(338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps
and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even
damage the fuser.
•For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from
the edges of the envelope.
•Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use
in laser printers.
•Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand
machine’s fusing temperature.
•Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
•Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of
time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
•To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.
•To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged
sunlight.
•Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn
edges.
•Do not use transparencies that separates from the backing sheet.
•To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the
printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out.
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
machines.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your
machine’s fusing temperature (about 170°C(338 °F).
-Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between
them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the
labels, causing serious jams.
-Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm
of curl in any direction.
-Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
•Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels.
Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can
cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to
machine components.
1Pressure lever
Media and tray_15
•Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The
adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the
machine.
•Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are
wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock/Custom-sized paper
Postcards, cards and other custom-sized materials can be printed with this
machine.
•Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3.00 inches) wide or 127 mm
(5.00 inches) long.
•In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.
•If media weight is over 160 g/m2 (43 lb), try printing in the rear cover
(face up).
Letterhead/Preprinted paper
•Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that
will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected
to the machine’s fusing temperature (about 170°C(338 °F) for 0.1
second.
•Letterhead/ Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect machine rollers.
•Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to
prevent changes during storage.
•Before you load letterhead/preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted
paper, reducing print quality.
Photo
•Make sure not to use the inkjet photo paper with this machine. It could
cause damage to the machine.
Glossy
Load one paper to the manual tray at a time, glossy side facing up.
•Recommended media: Glossy paper (Letter) for this machine by HP
Brochure Paper (Product: Q6611A) only.
•Recommended media: Glossy paper (A4) for this machine by HP
Superior Paper 160 glossy (Product: Q6616A).
USING THE OUTPUT SUPPORT
The surface of the output tray may become hot if you print a large
number of pages at once. Make sure that you do not touch the
surface, and do not allow children near it.
The printed pages stack on the output support, and the output support will
help the printed pages to align. The printer sends output to the output tray
by default. To use the output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed.
If you are using A5 paper, fold the output tray. Otherwise, printed
pages might be mis-alligned or jammed.

CLEANING A MACHINE
If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty
environment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep the best
printing condition and use your machine longer.
• 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 you use cloth or tissue dampened with
water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the
air and might be harmful to you.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth
slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the
machine.
Printing a cleaning sheet
If you are experiencing blurred or smeared printouts, you can clear the
problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by your machine.
To print the cleaning sheet:
In ready mode, press and hold the (cancel button) for about 10 seconds.
•OPC cleaning sheet: Cleans the OPC drum of the toner cartridge.
This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be
discarded.
Your machine automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the tray and
prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner particles on it.
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 offGand unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to
cool down.
2. Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a clean
flat surface
• 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.
• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.
Maintenance_29
3. With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the
toner cartridge area.
While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to damage
the transfer roller or any other inside parts. Do not use solvents
such as benzene or thinner to clean. Printing quality problems can
occur and cause damage to the machine.
4. Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the machine and gently swab
the glass to see if dirt turns the white cotton black.
5. Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the front cover.
6. Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.
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 as the printer it will be used in;
this should be in controlled office temperature and humidity conditions. The
toner cartridge should remain in its original, 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, always 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
they were installed in the machine.
•Do not store consumables in;
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
-Humidity range less than 20% nor 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 photosensitive 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-out number 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.
TIPS FOR MOVING & STORING YOUR MACHINE
•When moving the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down. Otherwise,
the inside of the machine may be contaminated by toner, which can
cause damage to the machine or bad print quality.
•When moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding
the machine securely.

This chapter gives helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error.
This chapter includes:
•Redistributing toner
•Tips for avoiding paper curls
•Tips for avoiding paper jams
•Clearing paper jams
•Solving other problems
REDISTRIBUTING TONER
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
•White streaks or light printing occurs.
•The LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing
the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light
printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Pull the toner cartridge out.
3. Thoroughly roll the cartridge five or six times to distribute the toner
evenly inside the cartridge.
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash
clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the
handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
4. Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into
the opening in the machine.
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the
machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into
place completely.
5. Close the front cover. Ensure that the cover is securely closed.
TIPS FOR AVOIDING PAPER CURLS
1. Open the rear cover.
2. Pull down the pressure lever on each side.
Keep the rear cover opened during printing.
Only use when the printout has more than 20 mm curl.

TIPS FOR AVOIDING PAPER JAMS
By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided.
When a paper jam occurs, refer to the next guidelines.
•Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. (See
"Loading paper in the tray" on page 12.)
•Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper
capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
•Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
•Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
•Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
•Do not mix paper types in a tray.
•Use only recommended print media.
•Ensure that the recommended side of the print media is facing down in
the tray, or facing up in the manual tray.

Printing quality problems
If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly,
there might be a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the
problem.
CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
Light or faded print •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 30.) If this does not improve the print
quality, install a new toner cart
•The paper may not meet paper specifications;
for example, the paper may be too moist or
rough. (See "Print media specifications" on
page 44.)
•If the entire page is light, the print resolution
setting is too low or the toner save mode is
on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the
toner save mode off. See the help screen of
the printer driver.
•A combination of faded or smeared defects
may indicate that the toner cartridge needs
cleaning. (See "Cleaning the inside" on
page 28.)
•The surface of the LSU part inside the
machine may be dirty. (See "Cleaning the
inside" on page 28.)
Toner specks •The paper may not meet specifications; for
example, the paper may be too moist or
rough. (See "Print media specifications" on
page 44.)
•The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the
inside of your machine. Contact a service
representative.
•The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a
service representative.
Dropouts 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 brand of paper. (See "Print
media specifications" on page 44.)
•The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing
processes can cause some areas to reject
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
•Change the printer option and try again. Go
to Printing Preferences, click Paper tab,
and set type to Thick. (See "Opening
printing preferences" on page 17.)
•If these steps do not correct the problem,
contact a service representative.

White Spots If white spots appear on the page:
•The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from a
paper falls to the inner devices within the
machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty.
Clean the inside of your machine. (See
"Cleaning the inside" on page 28.)
•The paper path may need cleaning. (See
"Cleaning the inside" on page 28.)
Vertical lines If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
•The surface (drum part) of the toner
cartridge inside the machine has probably
been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge
and install a new one. (See "Replacing the
toner cartridge" on page 40.)
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
•The surface of the LSU part inside the
machine may be dirty. (See "Cleaning the
inside" on page 28.)
Black background If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable:
•Change to a lighter weight paper. (See "Print
media specifications" on page 44.)
•Check the environmental conditions: very
dry conditions or a high level of humidity
(higher than 80% RH) can increase the
amount of background shading.
•Remove the old toner cartridge and, install a
new one. (See "Replacing the toner
cartridge" on page 40.)
Toner smear If toner smears on the page:
•Clean the inside of the machine. (See
"Cleaning the inside" on page 28.)
•Check the paper type and quality. (See "Print
media specifications" on page 44.)
•Remove the toner cartridge and then, install
a new one. (See "Replacing the toner
cartridge" on page 40.)
Vertical repetitive
defects
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of
the page at even intervals:
•The toner cartridge may be damaged. If you
still have the same problem, remove the
toner cartridge and, install a new one. (See
"Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 40.)
•Parts of the machine 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.
CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
Troubleshooting_37
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 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 in Printing Preferences. (See
"Opening printing preferences" on page 17.)
Misformed
characters
•If characters are improperly formed and
producing hollow images, the paper stock
may be too slick. Try different paper. (See
"Print media specifications" on page 44.)
Page skew •Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
•Check the paper type and quality. (See "Print
media specifications" on page 44.)
•Ensure that 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
temperature and humidity can cause paper
curl. (See "Print media specifications" on

Glossary_47
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
Committee (IEEE 802).
802.11b/g
802.11b/g can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps; 802.11g up to 54 Mbps.
802.11b/g 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 mechanism that will
automatically 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
represent 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
collation 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
monitoring 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 pseudo standard throughout the
industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.
DADF
A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a mechanism that will
automatically feed and flip 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
networking 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_48
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
scanning 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
company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to
answer several different telephone numbers.
Duplex
A mechanism that will automatically flip 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 can print double-sided of paper.
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer
performance 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
corrects 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
system, 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
networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984) and is now
deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.
FDI

reader. Those devices allow the pay-for-print service on your machine.
FTP
A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a commonly used protocol for
exchanging 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 melts the toner onto the print media. It
consists of a hot roller and a back-up 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
network and a telephone line. It is very popular, as it is a computer or a
network 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
international non-profit, professional organization for the advancement
of technology related to electricity.
IEEE 1284
The 1284 parallel port standard was developed by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The term "1284-B" refers to
a specific connector type on the end of the parallel cable that attaches to
the peripheral (for example, a printer).
Glossary_49

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
printing 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
operating 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 networks (LANs), and is a very efficient protocol for this
purpose (typically its performance exceeds that of TCP/IP on a LAN).

shares in Window NT and other Microsoft products. The format of a
UNC path is: \\<servername>\<sharename>\<Additional directory>
URL
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents
and resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates
what protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the
domain name where the resource is located.
USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the
USB Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals.
Unlike the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a
single computer USB port to multiple peripherals.
Watermark
A watermark is a recognizable image or pattern in paper that appears
lighter when viewed by transmitted light. Watermarks were first
introduced in Bologna, Italy in 1282; they have been used by
papermakers to identify their product, and also on postage stamps,
currency, and other government documents to discourage
counterfeiting.
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.
