Or, to return to Standby mode, press Stop/Clear. Cleaning Your Machine To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur. NOTES: • While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems. • Cleaning the cabinet of your machine with products containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet. Cleaning the Outside Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or inside 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 or reduces these problems. 1 Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to cool down. 2 Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out, lightly pushing it down. MAINTENANCE 7.3 3 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. Do not touch the black transfer roller inside the machine. 4 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the cover. 5 Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on. 7.4 MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Document Glass Keeping the document glass clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We suggest that you clean the document glass 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 Lift the document glass. 3 Wipe the surface of the document glass until it is clean and dry. 4 Wipe the underside of the white document cover until it is clean and dry. 5 Close the document cover. MAINTENANCE 7.5 Maintaining the Toner Cartridge Toner Cartridge Storage To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind: • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge. • Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine. • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Saving Toner To save toner, use the Toner Save feature; see page 1.27. Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also reduces the print quality. Expected Cartridge Life The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at IDC 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 1,000 pages. The actual number may be different depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often. 7.6 MAINTENANCE Redistributing Toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light print occurs. You can temporarily reestablish the print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. Open the front cover. 2 Pull the toner cartridge out and gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets the toner into fabric. 3 Reinstall the cartridge and close the front cover. MAINTENANCE 7.7 Replacing the Toner Cartridge When the toner eventually runs out, only blank pages print when a print job is sent. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. The machine stops printing. 1 Open the front cover. 2 Lightly pushing the used cartridge down, pull it out. 3 Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently roll it horizontally four or five times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge. Save the box and the Plastic bag for shipping. 4 Slide the new toner cartridge in until it locks into place. 5 Close the front cover. 7.8 MAINTENANCE Cleaning the Drum If there are streaks or spots on your print, the OPC drum of the cartridge may require cleaning. 1 Before setting the cleaning procedure, make sure that paper is loaded in the machine. 2 Press Menu/Exit on the control panel until "Maintenance" appears on the top line of the display. The first available menu item, "Clean Drum", displays on the bottom line. 3 Press Start/Copy. 4 When the display asks you to confirm your selection, press Start/Copy. The machine prints a cleaning page. Toner particles on the drum surface are affixed to the paper. 5 If the problem remains, repeat steps 1 through 4. MAINTENANCE 7.9 Consumables and Replacement Parts From time to time, you needs to replace the toner cartridge, roller, and fuser unit to maintain top performance and to avoid print quality problems and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts. The following items should be replaced after you have printed a specified number of pages: Items Yield (Average) Paper feeding roller 60,000 Transfer roller 60,000 Fuser unit 60,000 To purchase consumables and replacement parts, contact your Samsung dealer or the retailer where you bought your machine. We strongly recommend that items be installed by trained service professional, except for the toner cartridge. 7.10 MAINTENANCE 8 TROUBLESHOOTING This chapter gives helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error.

Smears, lines, marks or spots appears on copies. • If defects are on the original document, use the "Darkness" feature to lighten the background of your copies. • If no defects are on the original document, clean the document glass and underside of the document cover. See page 7.5. Copy image is skewed. • Ensure that the original document is positioned correctly on the document glass. • Check that the copy paper is loaded correctly. Blank copies print out. Ensure that the original document is face down on the document glass. Image rubs off the copy easily. • Replace the paper in the paper tray with paper from a new package. • In high humidity areas, do not leave paper in the machine for the extended periods of time. Frequent copy paper jams occurs. • Fan the stack of paper, then turn it over in the paper tray. Replace the paper in the tray with a fresh supply. Check/adjust the paper guides, if necessary. • Ensure that the paper is the proper paper weight. 75g/m2 (20 lb) bond paper is recommended. • Check for copy paper or pieces of copy paper remaining in the machine after a paper jam has been cleared. Fewer copies from the toner cartridge than expected prints out. • Your original documents may contain pictures, solids or heavy lines. For example, they may be forms, newsletters, books or other documents that use more toner. • The machine may be turned frequently on and off. • The document cover may be left open while copies are being made. 8.18 TROUBLESHOOTING Scanning Problems Condition Suggested solutions The scanner does not work. • Make sure that you place the document to be scanned face down on the document 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 USB or parallel cable is connected properly. • Make sure that the USB or parallel cable is not defective. Switch the cable with a known good cable. If necessary, replace the cable. • If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it is compliant with the IEEE 1284 standard. • Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check scan setting in the SmarThru Configuration or the application you want to use to make certain that the scanner job is being sent to the correct port, for example, LPT1. The unit scans very slowly. • Check if the machine is printing received data. Scan the document after the current job is completed. • Graphics are scanned more slowly than text. • Communication speed becomes slow 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. Message appears on your computer screen: • “Device can't be set to the H/W mode you want.” • “Port is being used by another program.” • “Port is Disabled.” • “Scanner is busy receiving or printing data. When the current job is completed, try again.” • “Invalid handle.” • “Scanning has failed.” • There may be a copying or printing job in progress. When the current job is complete, try the job again. • The selected port is currently being used. Restart your computer and try again. • The printer cable may be improperly connected or the power may be off. You must use a USB 1.1 compliant cable or a parallel cable that supports IEEE-1284 bidirectional communications. • The scanner driver is not installed or an operating environment is not set up properly. • Ensure that port is properly connected and power is on, and then restart your computer. • Do not use the parallel and the USB cables at the same time. TROUBLESHOOTING 8.19 Common Macintosh Problems Problems in the Chooser Problem Possible Cause and Solution The printer driver icon does not appear in Chooser. The printer name does not appear in the Connect to box in Chooser. You cannot use the computer while the printer is printing. • Software is not installed correctly. Reinstall the software; see page 6.2. • Make sure that you are using a high-quality cable. • Make sure that the cables are connected correctly and the printer is turned on. • Check if “Ready” appears on the display of the control panel. If not, clear the problem depending on the error message; see page 8.7. • Make sure that the correct printer driver has been selected in Chooser. Background Printing has not been selected. • Select Background in the Background Printing tab of the Samsung SPL II Printer window. • In Mac OS 10.x, background printing is not supported. Printer Errors Problem You cannot use the computer while the printer is printing 8.20 TROUBLESHOOTING Possible Cause and Solution Background Printing has not been selected. • Select Background in the printer’s properties. See page 6.11 (In Mac OS 10.X, background printing is not supported.) Common Linux Problems Problem The machine doesn't print Possible Cause and Solution • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open MFP 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 MFP 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 MFP 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 parallel or USB port and is turned on. • Check if the scanner driver for you machine is installed in your system. Open MFP 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. TROUBLESHOOTING 8.21 Problem The machine does not appear on the scanners list (continued) Possible Cause and Solution • Check if the MFP 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 MFP ports 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 machine 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 MFP port is not busy.

Please, log in as root user and invoke the following command: ln -sf /usr/local/bin/samsung/slpr /usr/bin/lpr 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 plugin 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.

NOTE: You may experience jams when using print materials with a length of less than 127 mm (5 in.). For optimum performance, ensure that you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page A.8. Guidelines for Using Paper For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package. The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming, or even damage to the machine: Symptom Problem with Paper Solution Poor print quality or toner adhesion, problems with feeding Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed; faulty paper lot Try another kind of paper, between 100 ~ 400 Sheffied, 4 ~ 5 % moisture content. Dropout, jamming, curl Stored improperly Store paper flat in its moistureproof wrapping. Increased gray background shading/machine wear Too heavy Use lighter paper, use the rear output slot. Excessive curl problems with feeding Too moist, wrong grain direction, or short-grain construction • Use the rear output slot. • Use long-grain paper. A.6 Symptom Problem with Paper Solution Jamming, damage to machine Cutouts or perforations Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Problems with feeding Ragged edges Use good quality paper. NOTES: • Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. • Do not use raised or embossed letterhead. • The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second). Paper Specifications Category Specifications Acid Content 5.5 pH or lower Caliper 0.094 ~ 0.18 mm (3.0 ~ 7.0 mils) Curl in Ream Flat within 5 mm (0.02 in.)

Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly. Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams. Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper. Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier. The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum performance. The optimum condition is 20 to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of 45 % to 55 %. The following guidelines should be considered when evaluating the paper’s storage environment: • Paper should be stored at or near room temperature. • The air should not be too dry or too humid. • The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the machine environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes. Envelopes Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components: • Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90g/m2 (24lb) or jamming may occur. • Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6mm (0.25in.) curl, and should not contain air. • Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked or otherwise damaged. A.8 • Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the machine. • Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges NOTES: • Use only the manual feeder to print envelopes. • You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than 140 mm (5.5 in.). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page A.8. Envelopes with Double Side Seams Double side-seam construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below. Correct Incorrect Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the machine. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even damage the fuser. Envelope Margins The following gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope. Type of Address Minimum Maximum Return address 15 mm (0.6 in.) 51 mm (2 in.) Delivery address 51 mm (2 in.) 90 mm (3.5 in.) A.9 NOTES: • For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in.) from the edges of the envelope. • Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet. Envelope Storage Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during printing. Labels CAUTIONS: • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels recommended for laser printers. • To prevent serious jams, always use the manual feeder to print labels and always use the rear output tray. • Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial sheet of labels. When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component: • Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature. • Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams. • Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13mm (5in.) of curl in any direction. • Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or other indications of separation. Transparencies Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature. CAUTION: To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
