Common Windows problems
Horizontal
stripes
If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears
appear:
• The toner cartridge may be installed
improperly. Remove the cartridge and
reinsert.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. Install a
new toner cartridge. See page 8.4.
• If the problem persists, the printer may require
repair. Contact a service representative.
Curl If the printed paper is curled or paper does not
feed into the printer:
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also
try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.
An unknown
image repetitively
appears on a
next few sheets
or loose toner,
light print or
contamination
occurs.
Your printer is probably being used at an altitude
of 2,500 m (8,200 ft) or above.
The high altitude may affect the print quality
such as loose toner or light imaging. You can set
this option through Printer Settings Utility or
Printer Tab in printer driver’s properties. Refer
to the Software Section for detail.
Condition Suggested solutions
“File in Use”
message appears
during installation.
Exit all software applications. Remove all
software from the StartUp Group, then restart
Windows. Reinstall the printer driver.
“Error Writing to
LPTx” message
appears.
• Ensure that the cables are connected
correctly and the printer is on.
• If bi-directional communication is not turned
on in the driver, it will also cause this
message.
“General Protection
Fault”, “Exception
OE”, “Spool32”, or
“Illegal Operation”
messages appear.
Close all other applications, reboot Windows,
and try printing again.
Condition Suggested solutions
Common PostScript problems
The following situations are PostScript language specific and may occur
when several printer languages are being used.
“Fail To Print,” “A
printer timeout error
occurred,”
messages appear.
These messages may appear during printing.
Just keep waiting until the printer finishes
printing. If the message appears in standby
mode or after printing has been completed,
check the connection and/or whether an error
has occurred.
Note
• Refer to Microsoft Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003
User’s Guide that came with your PC for further information on
Windows error messages.
Note
• To receive a printed or screen displayed message when
PostScript errors occur, open the Print Options window and
click the desired selection next to the PostScript errors section.
Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions

Print job may
not be
PostScript.
Make sure that the print job is a
PostScript job. Check to see
whether the software
application expected a setup or
PostScript header file to be sent
to the printer.
When print a
document in
Macintosh with
Acrobat Reader
6.0 or higher,
colors print
incorrectly.
The resolution
setting in the
printer driver
may not be
matched with
that in Acrobat
Reader.
Make sure that the resolution
setting in your printer driver
matches that in Acrobat
Reader.

Common Linux problems
Condition Suggested solutions
The print doesn’t
print.
• Check if the printer driver is installed in your
system. Open Unified Driver Configurator
and switch to the Printers tab in Printers
configuration window to look at the list of
available printers. Make sure that your
machine is displayed on the list. If not,
please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set
up your device.
• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers
configuration and select your machine on
the printers list. Look at the description in
the Selected printer pane. If its status
contains “(stopped)” string, please, press
the Start button. After that normal operation
of the printer should be restored. The
"stopped" status might be activated when
some problems in printing occurred. For
instance, this could be an attempt to print
document when MFP port is claimed by a
scanning application.
• Check if the port is not busy. Since
functional components of MFP (printer and
scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP
port), the situation of simultaneous access
of different “consumer” application to the
same MFP port is possible. To avoid
possible conflicts, only one of them at a time
is allowed to gain control over the device.
The other “consumer” will encounter “device
busy” response. You should open port
configuration and select the port assigned to
your printer. In the Selected port pane you
can see if the port is occupied by some
other application. If this is the case, you
should wait for completion of the current job
or should press Release port button, if you
are sure that the present owner is not
functioning properly.
Check if your application has special print
option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified
in the command line parameter then remove it
to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select
“print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command
line parameter in the command item.
The printer does
not appear on the
scanners list.
• Check if your machine is attached to your
computer. Make sure that it is connected
properly via the USB port and is turned on.
• Check if the scanner driver for you machine
is installed in your system. Open Unified
Driver Configurator, switch to Scanners
configuration, then press Drivers. Make
sure that driver with a name corresponding
to your machine's name is listed in the
window.
• Check if the port is not busy. Since
functional components of MFP (printer and
scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP
port), the situation of simultaneous access
of different “consumer” application to the
same MFP port is possible. To avoid
possible conflicts, only one of them at a time
is allowed to gain control over the device.
The other “consumer” will encounter “device
busy” response. This can usually happen
while starting scan procedure, and
appropriate message box displays. To
identify the source of the problem, you
should open port configuration and select
the port assigned to your scanner. MFP
port's symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to
LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’
options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so
on. USB ports start at /dev/mfp4, so scanner
on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively
and so forth sequentially. In the Selected
port pane you can see if the port is occupied
by some other application. If this is the case,
you should wait for completion of the current
job or should press Release port button, if
you are sure that the present port's owner is
not functioning properly.

The printer doesn’t
scan.
• Check if a document is loaded into the
machine.
• Check if your machine is connected to the
computer. Make sure if it is connected
properly if I/O error is reported while
scanning.
• Check if port is not busy. Since functional
components of MFP (printer and scanner)
share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the
situation of simultaneous access of different
“consumer” application to the same MFP

Can’t scan via
Gimp Front-end.
• Check if Gimp Front-end has “Xsane:Device
dialog..” on the “Acquire” menu. If not, you
should install Xsane plug-in for Gimp on the
your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in
package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD
or Gimp home page. For the detail
information, refer to the Help for Linux
distribution CD or Gimp Front-end
application.
If you wish to use other kind of scan
application, refer to the Help for application.
Condition Suggested solutions
Common Macintosh problems
I encounter error
“Unable to open
MFP port device
file!” when printing
a document.
Please avoid changing print job parameters
(via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is
in progress. Known versions of CUPS server
break the print job whenever print options are
changed and then try to restart the job from
the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver
locks MFP port while printing, the abrupt
termination of the driver keeps the port locked
and therefore unavailable for subsequent print
jobs. If this situation occurred, please, try to
release the MFP port.
Condition Suggested solutions
The printer does not
print a document from
Acrobat Reader.
Change the Print Method option to Print
as Image when you print from Acrobat
Reader.
The document has
printed, but the print job
has not disappeared
from the spooler in Mac
OS 10.3.2.
Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3 or
higher.
The printer does not
print a document from
Illustrator on IPP
printing.
Change the Data type option in the
Adobe Illustrator print menu to Binary.
Or, you can use Appletalk printing.

Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your
document.
This option may be available only in
Windows 9x/Me, depending on your particular printer
model.
-
Download as Outline
: When this option is selected, the
driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your
document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If,
after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print
correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your
print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful
when printing Adobe.
This feature is available only
when you use the PCL printer driver.
-
Download as Bitmap
: When this option is selected, the
driver will download the font data as bitmap images.
Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or
Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.
-
Print as Graphics
:
When this option is selected, the driver
will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents
with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts,
printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this
setting.
•

the last page to the first page.
-
Print Odd Pages
: Your printer prints only the odd numbered
pages of the document.
-
Print Even Pages
: Your printer prints only the even
numbered pages of the document.
•
Use Printer Fonts
: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the
printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident
fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the
fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes
time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time.
When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts
used in your document to those stored in its memory. If,
however, you use fonts in your document that are very different
from those resident in the printer, your printed output will
appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL
printer driver.

What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need
to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only
tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your
document.
Creating a New Page Overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay
containing your logo or image.
1
Create or open a document containing text or an image for
use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as
you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.
2
To save the document as an overlay, access printer
properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 12.

Click
Save
. The name appears on the
Overlay List
box.
7
Click
OK
or
Yes
to finish creating.
The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your
computer hard disk drive.
N
OTE
: The overlay document size must be the same as the
documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay
with a watermark.

7Using Your Printer in
Linux
You can use your machine in a Linux environment.
This chapter includes:
• Getting Started
• Installing the Unified Linux Driver
• Using the Unified Driver Configurator
• Configuring Printer Properties
• Printing a Document
• Scanning a Document (for MFP device only)
Getting Started
The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s Unified
Linux Driver package for using your machine with a Linux
computer.
Samsung’s Unified Linux Driver package contains printer and
scanner drivers, providing the ability to print documents and
scan images. The package also delivers powerful applications
for configuring your machine and further processing of the
scanned documents.
After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver
package allows you to monitor a number of machine devices via
fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. The acquired
documents can then be edited, printed on the same local or
network machine devices, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP
site, or transferred to an external OCR system.
The Unified Linux Driver package is supplied with a smart and
flexible installation program. You don't need to search for
additional components that might be necessary for the Unified
Linux Driver software: all required packages will be carried onto
your system and installed automatically; this is possible on a
wide set of the most popular Linux clones.

Using the Unified Driver
Configurator
Unified Linux Driver Configurator is a tool primarily intended for
configuring Printer or MFP devices. Since an MFP device
combines the printer and scanner, the Unified Linux Driver
Configurator provides options logically grouped for printer and
scanner functions. There is also a special MFP port option
responsible for the regulation of access to an MFP printer and
scanner via a single I/O channel.
After installing the Unified Linux driver (see page A.3), the
Unified Linux Driver Configurator icon will automatically be
created on your desktop.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
(for MFP device only)
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via the
parallel port or USB port. Since the MFP device contains more
than one device (printer and scanner), it is necessary to
organize proper access of “consumer” applications to these
devices via the single I/O port.
The Samsung Unified Linux Driver package provides an
appropriate port sharing mechanism that is used by Samsung
printer and scanner drivers. The drivers address their devices
via so-called MFP ports. The current status of any MFP port can
be viewed via the Ports Configuration. The port sharing
prevents you from accessing one functional block of the MFP
device, while another block is in use.
When you install a new MFP device onto your system, it is
strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an
Unified Driver Configurator. In this case you will be asked to
choose I/O port for the new device. This choice will provide the
most suitable configuration for MFP’s functionality. For MFP
scanners I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers
automatically, so proper settings are applied by default.
