Condition Horizontal stripes Curl Suggested solutions Condition Suggested solutions 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. “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. 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. Common PostScript problems The following situations are PostScript language specific and may occur when several printer languages are being used. An unknown image repetitively appears on a next few sheets or loose toner, light print or contamination occurs. Note 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. • 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 PostScript file can not be printed. The PostScript driver may not be installed correctly. • Print a configuration page and verify that the PostScript version is available for printing. • Install the PostScript driver; to installing the PS printer driver, see the Software Section. • If problem consists, contact a service representative. “Limit Check Error” message appears. The print job was too complex. You might need to reduce the complexity of the page or install more memory. A PostScript error page prints. 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 Windows problems 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. 9.9Common Linux problems Condition The print doesn’t print. Condition Suggested solutions • 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. 9.10 Suggested solutions • 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. Condition Suggested solutions 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 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.

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. Can’t scan via Gimp Front-end. Condition Suggested solutions 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. Common Macintosh problems Condition 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. • 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. 9.11 Suggested solutions 10 Specifications Printer specifications Item Printing speeda Up to 24 ppm in A4 (25 ppm in Letter) Resolution ML-2510 Up to 1200 x 600 dpi effective output ML-2570, ML-2571N Up to 1200 x 1200 dpi effective output Warm-up time Less than 15 seconds First print out time 9 seconds (From Ready) Sleep mode: 25 seconds Power rating 110 ~ 127 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz, 10 A 220 ~ 240 VAC, 50 / 60 Hz, 5 A Power consumption Average: 380 W (ML-2510), 480 W (ML-2570, ML-2571N) Power save mode: Less than 5 W (ML-2510), 8.5 W (ML-2570, ML-2571N) Noise levelb Standby mode: Less than 35 dBA Printing mode: Less than 52 dBA Toner cartridge lifec 3,000 pages at ISO 19752 5% coverage (ships with 1,000 pages starter toner cartridge) Duty cycle Monthly: Up to 10,000 pages Weight 8 Kg (including consumables) Package weight Paper: 2.5 Kg, Plastic: 0.6 Kg External dimensions (W x D x H) 15.6 X 17.8 X 13.9 inches (378 X 299 X 277 mm) Operating environment Temperature: 50° F to 90° F (10° C to 32° C) Humidity: 20% to 80% RH Printer language ML-2510 SPL ML-2570, ML-2571N SPL, PostScript 3, PCL6d, PCL5e ML-2510 8 MB (non expandable) ML-2570, ML-2571N 32 MB (non expandable) Memory Fonts 10.1 Specifications and description Windows fonts Item Specifications and description Interface • IEEE 1284 Bidirectional Parallel Standard - Modes supported: Compatible, Nibble, Byte, ECP • USB Interface Standard - USB 1.1 compliant (ML-2510 only) - USB 2.0: High Speed USB 2.0 (ML-2570, ML2571N only) - 480 Mbps 1 port • Network Interface - Ethernet 10/100 Base TX wired LAN (optional item in the ML-2510, ML-2570) OS compatibility • Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 • Various Linux OS • Mac 10.3 (ML-2510) or 8.6 ~ 9.2/10.1 ~ 10.4 (ML-2570, ML-2571N) Printer driverse • SPL: Windows, Linux • PCL6 driver (ML-2570, ML-2571N only): Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003 • PostScript driver (ML-2570, ML-2571N only): Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP/2003, Macintosh OS 8.6 ~ 9.2/10.1 ~ 10.4 Options Ethernet 10/100 Base TX wired network interface server (ML-2510, ML-2570 only) a.

Click Finish. Click Next. Printers Configuration Using the Unified Driver Configurator Printers configuration has the two tabs; Printers and Classes. Printers Tab You can see the current system’s printer configuration by clicking on the printer icon button on the left side of the Unified Driver Configurator window. 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. Switches to Printer configuration. After installing the Unified Linux driver (see page A.3), the Unified Linux Driver Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop. Shows all of the installed printer. Opening the Unified Driver Configurator Shows the status, model name and URI of your printer. Double-click Unified Driver Configurator on the desktop. You can also click the Startup Menu icon and select Samsung Unified Driver and then Unified Driver Configurator. Press each button on the Modules pane to switch to the corresponding configuration window. You can use the following printer control buttons: • Refresh: renews the available printers list. • Add Printer: allows you to add a new printer. • Remove Printer: removes the selected printer. • Set as Default: sets the current printer as a default printer. Printers Configuration button • Stop/Start: stops/starts the printer. Scanners Configuration button (for MFP device only) • Test: allows you to print a test page to check if the machine is working properly. Ports Configuration button • Properties: allows you to view and change the printer properties. For details, see page 31. You can use the onscreen help by clicking Help.

Shows the port type, device connected to the port and status • Refresh : Renews the classes list. • Add Class... : Allows you to add a new printer class. • Refresh : Renews the available ports list. • Remove Class : Removes the selected printer class. • Release port : Releases the selected port. Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners (for MFP device only) Scanners Configuration (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. In this window, you can monitor the activity of scanner devices, view a list of installed Samsung MFP devices, change device properties, and scan images. Switches to Scanners configuration. 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. Shows all of the installed scanners. 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. Shows the vendor, model name and type of your scanner. • Properties... : Allows you to change the scan properties and scan a document. See page 32. • Drivers... : Allows you to monitor the activity of the scan drivers. 30 Using Your Printer in Linux Configuring Printer Properties Printing a Document Using the properties window provided by the Printers configuration, you can change the various properties for your machine as a printer. 1 Open the Unified Driver Configurator.
