Tips for avoiding paper jams
By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided. To avoid paper jams, refer to the following guidelines:
• Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (see "Tray overview" on page 27).
• 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 (see "Print media specifications" on page 79).

Replacing the fitted plug (for UK only)
Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13
amp plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the
fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to
replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the
plug until you have another fuse cover.
Contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should
be suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have
normal 13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug
adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric
shock if you plug it into a socket.
Regulatory information 92
5. Appendix
Important warning:
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your
plug, do the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by
the letter “E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and
yellow or green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the
letter “N” or colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with
the letter “L” or colored red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the
distribution board.

Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light,
temperature and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these
recommendations to ensure optmal performance, highest quality,
and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will
be used. This should be in controlled temperature and humidity
conditions. The toner cartridge should remain in its original and
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, follow the instructions below
to store the toner cartridge properly.
• 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 it were installed in the machine.
• Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
- Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
- Humidity range not less than 20% and 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.
1
Handling instructions
• Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive 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.
2
Toner cartridge usage
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.
Storing the toner cartridge 60
5. Maintenance
Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the
machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or
non-Samsung brand toner cartridges.
3
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 yield
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 higher and you may need to change the cartridge more
often.
61
5. Maintenance
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 reduce print
quality.
• When moving the machine, make sure at least two people are
holding the machine securely.

Light or faded print • If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page, the toner supply is low. Install a new toner cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough.
• If the entire page is light, the ting 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. Clean the
inside of your machine.
• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. If these steps do
not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

• The surface (drum part) of the toner cartridge inside the machine has probably been scratched. Remove the
toner cartridge and install a new one.
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. If these steps do
not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
Black background If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:
• Change to a lighter weight paper.
• 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.
Toner smear • Clean the inside of the machine.
• Check the paper type and quality.
• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.

6. Troubleshooting
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.
• 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.
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.GEnsure the correct paper type is selected. For example: If
Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain Paper actually used, an overcharging can occur causing this copy quality
problem.
Toner particles are around
bold characters or pictures
The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.
• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set the paper type
to Recycled. Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example: If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain
Paper actually used, an overcharging can occur causing this copy quality problem.

• Remove the toner cartridge and then, install a new one.
If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.
Character voids Character voids are white areas within parts of characters that should be solid black:
• If you are using transparencies, try another type of transparency. Because of the composition of transparencies,
some character voids are normal.
• You may be printing on the wrong surface of the paper. Remove the paper and turn it around.
• The paper may not meet paper specifications.
Horizontal stripes If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:
• The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.

Common Linux problems
Condition Suggested solutions
The machine does not
print.
• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the
Printers tab in the Printers configuration window to look at the list of available machines. Make sure that
your machine is displayed on the list. If not, open Add new printer wizard to set up your device.
• Check if the machine is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine from the printers list.
Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains Stopped, press the Start button.
Normal operation of the machine should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some
problems in printing occur.
• Check if your application has special print options 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 the
command line parameter in the command item.
The machine does not
print whole pages, and
output is printed on half
the page.
It is a known problem that occurs when a color machine is used on version 8.51 or earlier of Ghostscript, 64-bit
Linux OS, and has been reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript Bug 688252.The problem is solved in
AFPL Ghostscript v. 8.52 or above. Download the latest version of AFPL Ghostscript from http://sourceforge.net/
projects/ghostscript/ and install it to solve this problem.
“Cannot open port device
file” error message
appears when printing a
document.
Avoid changing print job parameters (e.q., via LPR GUI) 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 the port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked
and unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurs, try to release the port by selecting Release port
in the Port configuration window.

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/n
802.11b/g/n can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps, 802.11n supports
bandwidth up to 150 Mbps. 802.11b/g/n 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 scanning unit 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.
Glossary 97
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 de facto standard
throughout the industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.
DADF
A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a scanning unit that
will automatically feed and turn 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.
Glossary 98
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.
DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a standard that allows
devices on a home network to share information with each other
across the network.
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 turn 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 Unit can print on both sides of paper
during one print cycle.
Glossary 99
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
Foreign Device Interface (FDI) is a card installed inside the machine
to allow a third party device such as a coin operated device or a card
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).
Glossary 100
Fuser Unit
The part of a laser printer that fuses the toner onto the print media.
It consists of a heat roller and a pressure 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).
Intranet
A private network that uses Internet Protocols, network connectivity,
and possibly the public telecommunication system to securely share
part of an organization's information or operations with its
employees. Sometimes the term refers only to the most visible
service, the internal website.
Glossary 101
IP address
An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique number that devices use
in order to identify and communicate with each other on a network
utilizing the Internet Protocol standard.
IPM
The Images Per Minute (IPM) is a way of measuring the speed of a
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).
ISO
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an
international standard-setting body composed of representatives
from national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial
and commercial standards.
ITU-T
The International Telecommunication Union is an international
organization established to standardize and regulate international
radio and telecommunications. Its main tasks include
standardization, allocation of the radio spectrum, and organizing
interconnection arrangements between different countries to allow
international phone calls. A -T out of ITU-T indicates
telecommunication.
