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.

INTRODUCING USEFUL NETWORK PROGRAMS
There are several programs available to setup the network settings easily in
network environment. For the network administrator especially, managing
several machines on the network is possible.
Before using the programs below, set the IP address first.
SyncThru™ Web Service
Web server embedded on your network machine, which allows you to do
the following tasks.
•You can configure the network parameters necessary for the machine to
connect to various network environments.
•You can customize machine settings
(See "Using SyncThru™ Web Service (SCX-3205W(K) only)" on
page 74).
SyncThru™ Web Admin Service
Web-based machine management solution for network administrator.
SyncThru™ Web Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of
managing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot
network machines from any site with corporate internet access.
•Download this program from http://solution.samsungprinter.com.
SetIP
This utility program allows you to select a network interface and manually
configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol.
•See "IPv4 setting using SetIP Program (Windows)" on page 36.
•See "IPv4 setting using SetIP Program (Macintosh)" on page 36.
•See "IPv4 setting using SetIP Program (Linux)" on page 37.
TCP/IPv6 is not supported by this program.
USING A WIRED NETWORK
You must set up the network protocols on your machine to use it on your
network. This chapter will show you how this is easily accomplished.
You can use network after connecting network cable to a corresponding
port on your machine.
Printing a network configuration report
You can print a network configuration report from the machine’s control
panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help
you to set up a network and troubleshoot problems.
1. Press and hold Stop/Clear button on the control panel for long
enough (about four seconds) until the Status LED blinks fast.
2. Then, release the button.
Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine MAC
address and IP address.
For example:
•MAC Address:00:15:99:41:A2:78
•IP Address:192.0.0.192
Network setup (SCX-3205W(K) only)_ 36
Setting IP address
First, 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. If your machine has a control panel, you can also
change IP address using the machine's control panel.
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network
administrator to set IP address for you.
IPv4 setting using SetIP Program (Windows)
This program is for manually setting the network IP address of your
machine using its MAC address to communicate with the machine. A
MAC address is the hardware serial number of the network interface and
can be found in the Network Configuration Report.

USING A WIRELESS NETWORK WITH WPS
BUTTON ON THE CONTROL PANEL
If your machine and an access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi
Protected Setup™(WPS), you can easily configure the wireless network
settings by pressing WPS button on the control panel without a
computer.
Items to prepare
You need to ensure you have the following items ready to use:
•Check if the access point (or wireless router) supports Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™(WPS).
•Check if your machine supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup™(WPS).
Choosing your network connection
There are two methods to connect your machine to a wireless network by
using WPS button on the control panel.
The Push Button Configuration (PBC) method allows you to connect your
machine to a wireless network by pressing WPS button on the control
panel of your machine and the WPS (PBC) button on a Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™(WPS)-enabled access point (or wireless router) respectively.
Access point (or wireless router) that supports WPS (Wi-Fi Protected
Setup™) has the symbol shown below.
Setting a wireless network in PBC mode
Factory default in your machine is PBC mode.
Connecting to a wireless network in PBC mode
To connect your machine to a wireless network, follow the steps below.
You need to check the status of the wireless LED.
1. Press WPS button on the control panel for less than two
seconds.
•:The blue light blinks slowly on wireless LED. The machine
starts connecting to the wireless network. The LED blinks slowly
for up to two minutes until you press the PBC button on access
point (or wireless router).
2. Press the WPS (PBC) button on the access point ( or wireless
router).
•:The blue light blinks fast on the wireless LED. The
machine is connecting to the access point (or wireless router).
•:When the machine is successfully connected to the
wireless network, the blue wireless LED light stays on.
•The resulting report is automatically printed out.
If your machine fails to connect to the wireless network, the
wireless LED is off, and the error report is automatically
printed out. Try again to connect to the wireless network
after solving the connection problem.
Re-connecting to the wireless network
When the wireless function is off, the machine automatically tries to
re-connect to the access point (or wireless router) with the previously
used wireless connection settings and address.
In the following cases, the machine automatically re-connects to
the wireless network:
•The machine is turned off and on again.
•The WLAN is turned off and on again.
•The access point (or wireless router) is turned off and on again.
•If there is no previously used access point (or wireless router),
or the network settings have been changed.
Canceling a wireless network connection process in
PBC mode
To cancel the wireless network connection function when the machine is
connecting to the wireless network in PBC mode, press WPS button
on the control panel again. The wireless LED is off. The Wait 2 minutes
for Reconnecting message is to be automatically printed out.
Disconnecting a wireless network connection process
in PBC mode
To disconnect the wireless network connection, press WPS button
on the control panel again.
•When the access point (Wi-Fi Network) is in idle mode: The
wireless network connection is automatically disconnected. The
wireless LED is off.
•When the access point (Wi-Fi Network) is being used: The
machine waits until the current job is finished. Then, the wireless
network connection is automatically disconnected. The wireless LED
is off. The machine is returned to ready mode.

USING A WIRELESS NETWORK FROM THE
COMPUTER
Choosing your network connection
Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and
the machine at a time. There are 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
configuration report.
To print the report:
1. In ready mode, press and hold Stop/Clear button on the control
panel for long enough (about four seconds) until the Status LED blinks
fast.
2. Then, release the button.
Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine 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 the SetIP program to change the IP address
from your computer (See "Setting IP address" on page 36).
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.
Infrastructure mode
This is an environment generally used for homes
and SOHOs. This mode uses an access point to
communicate with the wireless machine.
•See "Installing the machine on a wireless
network with an access point (Windows)" on
page 42.
•See "Installing the machine on a wireless
network with an access point (Macintosh)" on
page 45.
Ad-Hoc mode
This mode does not use an access point. The
wireless computer and wireless machine
communicates directly.
•See "Installing the machine on an Ad-Hoc
wireless network (Windows)" on page 44.
•See "Installing the machine on an Ad-Hoc
wireless network (Macintosh)" on page 46.
After choosing your configuration, follow the simple directions for your
computer operating system, but first locate the software CD supplied
with the machine before proceeding.
Installing a wireless network with 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 42).

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
reportG(See "How to print a network configuration report" on page 42).
•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.

The following media types are shown in the Printing Preferences. This
paper type option allows you to set the type of paper to be loaded in the
tray. Selecting the appropriate media will let you get the best printout
quality. Selecting inappropriate media can result in poor print quality.
•Plain: Normal plain paper. Select this type if your printing on 60 to 120
g/m2 (16 to 32 lbs bond).
•Thick: 90 to 163 g/m2 (24 to 43 lbs bond) thick paper.
•Thin: 60 to 70 g/m2 (16 to 19 lbs bond) thin paper.
•Cotton: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) cotton paper.
•Color: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) color-back grounded paper.
•Preprinted: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) preprinted/letterhead
paper.
•Recycled: 60 to 90 g/m2 (16 to 24 lbs bond) recycled paper.
When you use recycled paper, printouts might be wrinkled and/or
jamming may occur due to excessive curl.
•CardStock: 105 to 163 g/m2 (28 to 43 lbs bond) cardstock.
•Envelope: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) envelope.
•Transparency: 138 to 146 g/m2 (37 to 39 lbs bond) transparency
paper.
•Labels: 120 to 150 g/m2 (32 to 40 lbs bond) labels.
•Bond: 105 to 120 g/m2 (28 to 32 lbs bond) bond.
•Archive: 70 to 90 g/m2 (19 to 24 lbs bond) If you need to keep the
print-out for a long time, such as for archives.
Envelopes
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the
envelopes.
To print on an envelope, the stamp area should be on the left side and the
end of the envelope with the stamp area should enter the printer first in the
center of the tray.
•When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m2 otherwise, jams may occur.
-Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less
than 6 mm ( 0.24 inch.) of curl, and should not contain air.
-Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, either
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 ( 0.59
inch.) from the edges of the envelope.
•Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Media and tray_ 57
Transparencies
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for 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 on 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 transparencies
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 separate 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 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
(0.51 inch.) 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.
•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 183 mm
(7.20 inches) long.
•In software applications, set the margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.
Letterhead/Preprinted paper
SINGLE-SIDED DOUBLE-SIDED
Face up Face down
•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.
Media and tray_ 58
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 tray, and the output support will help
the printed pages to align. The machine sends printouts to the output tray by
default.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via a parallel port
or USB port. Since the machine 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 Unified Linux Driver package provides an appropriate port sharing
mechanism that is used by Samsung printer and scanner drivers. The
drivers talk to their devices via so-called machine ports. The current
status of any machine port can be viewed via the Ports configuration.
The port sharing prevents you from accessing one functional block of
the machine device, while another block is in use.
When you install a new machine 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
machine’s functionality. For machine scanners, I/O ports are being
chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so proper settings are applied
by default.

This chapter provides information about maintaining your machine and the toner cartridge.
This chapter includes:
•Printing a machine report
•Cleaning the machine
•Storing the toner cartridge
•Tips for moving & storing your machine
PRINTING A MACHINE REPORT
You can print a configuration page to view current printer settings, or to help
troubleshoot printer problems.
In ready mode, press and hold Stop/Clear button for about two seconds,
then release.
A configuration page prints out.
CLEANING THE 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 most
optimum print quality.
•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 that you use a cloth or tissue dampened
with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in
the air and might be harmful if inhaled.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the machine cabinet with a soft and lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth
slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the
machine.
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 off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to
cool down.
2. Open the scan unit.
3. Open the inner cover.
4. Pull the toner cartridge out.
•To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper,
if necessary.
Maintenance_ 80
•Do not touch the green surface of the drum located in the toner
cartridge or imaging unit. Use the handle on the cartridge to
avoid touching this area.
5. With a dry and lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from
the toner cartridges 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.
After cleaning, let the machine to dry completely.
6. Reinsert the toner cartridge.
7. Close the inner cover and the scan unit completely in order.
8. Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.
Cleaning the scan unit
Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We
suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during the
day as needed.
1. Slightly dampen a soft, lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.
2. Open the scanner lid.
3. Wipe the surface of the scanner glass until it is clean and dry.
4. Close the scanner lid.
STORING THE TONER CARTRIDGE
Toner cartridge storage
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 according to the
following guidelines:
•Inside the protective bag from the original package.
•Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if
was installed in the machine.
•Do not store consumable in any of the following conditions:
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
-Humidity range less than 20% and not greater than 80%.
-An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
-Direct sunlight or room light.
Maintenance_ 81
-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 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.
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 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 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 reduce print quality.
Troubleshooting_ 82
12.troubleshooting
This chapter gives helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error.
This chapter includes:
•Redistributing toner
•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 Status 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 scan unit.
2. Open the inner cover.
3. Pull the toner cartridge out.
4. 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 drum in the toner cartridge or imaging unit. Use
the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
5. Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into
the opening in the machine.
The tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within
the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks
Troubleshooting_ 83
into place completely.
6. Close the inner cover and the scan unit completely in order. Ensure that
they are securely closed.
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 guidelines below:
•Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (See "Loading
paper in the tray" on page 55).
•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 the right
side (See "Loading paper in the tray" on page 55).
•If duplexing, print one sheet at a time using Start button (See
"Printing on both sides of the paper (Manual)" on page 61).
•If you are printing on a special paper, print one sheet at a time using
Start button (See "Manual feeding in the tray" on page 55).

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 82). If this does not
improve the print quality, install a new toner
cartridge.
•The paper may not meet paper specification; for
example, the paper may be too moist or rough
(See "Print media specifications" on page 97).
•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 79).
Toner specks •The paper may not meet specification; for
example, the paper may be too moist or rough
(See "Print media specifications" on page 97).
•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 97).
•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 60).
•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 79).
•The paper path may need cleaning (See
"Cleaning the inside" on page 79).
Vertical lines
G
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 93).
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 79).
Black background If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable:
•Change to a lighter weight paper (See "Print
media specifications" on page 97).
•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 93).
Toner smear If toner smears on the page:
•Clean the inside of the machine (See "Cleaning
the inside" on page 79).
•Check the paper type and quality (See "Print
media specifications" on page 97).
•Remove the toner cartridge and then, install a
new one (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on
page 93).
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 93).
•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_ 89
Background
scatter
A
Background scatter results from bits of toner
randomly distributed on the printed page.
•The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a
fresh ream 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 quality
through your software application or in Printing
Preferences (See "Opening printing
preferences" on page 60).
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 97).

page 93).
•If the problem persists, the machine may require
repair. Contact a service representative.
Character Voids
A
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 over.
•The paper may not meet paper specifications
(See "Print media specifications" on page 97).

The scanner does not
work.
•Make sure that you place the original to be
scanned face down on the scanner glass.
•There may not be enough available memory to
hold the document you want to scan. Try the
Prescan function to see if that works. Try
lowering the scan resolution rate.
•Check that the machine cable is connected
properly.
•Make sure that thema
chine cable is not
defective. Switch the cable with a known good
cable. If necessary, replace the cable.
•Check that the scanner is configured correctly.
Check scan setting in the SmarThru or the
application you want to use to make certain that
the scanner job is being sent to the correct port
(for example, USB001).
The unit scans very
slowly.
•Check if the machine is printing received data.
If so, scan the document after the received data
has been printed.
•Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.
•Communication speed slows in scan mode
because of the large amount of memory
required to analyze and reproduce the scanned
image. Set your computer to the ECP printer
mode through BIOS setting. It will help to
increase the speed. For details about how to
set BIOS, refer to your computer user’s guide.

occurred. For instance, this could be an
attempt to print a document when the port is
claimed by a scanning application.
•Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional
components of machine (printer and scanner)
share the same I/O interface (port), the
situation of simultaneous access of different
user applications 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 user will encounter “device
busy” response. You should open ports
configuration and select the port assigned to
your machine. In the Selected port pane you
can see if the port is occupied by some other
