10.20 <Troubleshooting>Common Windows problemsNoteRefer to Microsoft Windows 98/Me/NT 4.0/2000/XP User’s Guide that came with your PC for further information on Windows error messages.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, the machine 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.“Fail To Print”, “A printer timeout error occurred.” messages appear.These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine 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.Common PostScript problemsThe following situations are PS language specific and may occur when several printer languages are being used.NoteTo 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.Problem Possible Cause SolutionPostScript file cannot be printed.The PostScript driver may not be installed correctly.• Install the PostScript driver, referring to the Software Section.• Print a configuration page and verify that the PS version is available for printing.• If the problem persists, 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.The 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 machine.The optional tray 2 is not selected in the driver.The printer driver has not been configured to recognize the optional tray 2.Open the PostScript driver properties, select the Device Settings tab, and set the Tray2 option of the Installable Options section to Installed.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.
10.21 <Troubleshooting>Common Linux problemsProblem Possible Cause and SolutionThe 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 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 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 (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same 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 ports 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 machine 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 your 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 (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same 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 appears.• To identify the source of the problem, you should open ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner. 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.Problem Possible Cause and Solution
10.22 <Troubleshooting>The machine does not scan• Check if a document is loaded into the machine.• Check if your machine is connected to the computer.

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.I cannot 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.Problem Possible Cause and SolutionCommon Macintosh problemsI encounter error “Cannot open 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 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 port. PDF file does not print correctly-some parts are missing in graphics, text or illustrations.Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products.Printing the PDF file as an image may enable the file to print. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options.Note: It Will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image.The machine does not print.The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp (Internet Printing Protocol) printing.Problem Suggested solutionsPDF file does not print correctly-some parts are missing in graphics, text or illustrations.Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products.Printing the PDF file as an image may enable the file to print. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options.Note: It Will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image.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.Some letters are not displayed normally during the Cover pageprinting.This problem is caused because Mac OS can not create the font during the Cover page printing.

Using Your Printer in Linux308Using Your Printer in LinuxYou 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 DocumentGetting StartedThe 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.Installing the Unified Linux DriverInstalling the Unified Linux Driver1Make sure that you connect your machine to your computer. Turn both the computer and the machine on.2When the Administrator Login window appears, type in root in the Login field and enter the system password.NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the printer software.

Using Your Printer in Linux32Using the Unified Driver ConfiguratorUnified 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, the Unified Linux Driver Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.Opening the Unified Driver Configurator1Double-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.2Press each button on the Modules pane to switch to the corresponding configuration window.You can use the onscreen help by clicking Help.3After changing the configurations, click Exit to close the Unified Driver Configurator.Printers Configuration buttonScanners Configuration button (for MFP device only)Ports Configuration buttonPrinters ConfigurationPrinters configuration has the two tabs: Printers and Classes.Printers TabYou 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.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.•Stop/Start: stops/starts the printer.•Test: allows you to print a test page to check if the machine is working properly.•Properties: allows you to view and change the printer properties.

Ports ConfigurationIn this window, you can view the list of available ports, check the status of each port and release a port that is stalled in busy state when its owner is terminated for any reason.•Refresh : Renews the available ports list.•Release port : Releases the selected port.Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners 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.Switches to ports configuration.Shows the port type, device connected to the port and statusShows all of the available ports.
