Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD
Mode
“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables
a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different
telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call
you is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist of
various combinations of long and short ringing sounds. This
feature is often used by answering services who answer
telephones for many different clients and need to know which
number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax
machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be
answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing
pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax
call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT
jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection at any time.
Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option,
Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line
by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection, you will need another telephone line at your location,
or someone available to dial your fax number from outside.
To set up the DRPD mode:
1
Press
Menu
until “Fax Setup” appears on the top line of the
display.
The first available menu item, “Receive Mode,” displays on

you need to set the menu to
DRPD
; see page 7.5.
N
OTES
:
• DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or
connect the machine to another telephone line.
• After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify
that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a call
placed to a different number assigned to that same line to be
sure the call is forwarded to the extension telephone or
answering machine plugged into the EXT jack.
Receiving Faxes in the Memory
Since your machine is a multi-tasking device, it can receive
faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you receive a
fax while you are copying or printing, your machine stores
incoming faxes in memory. Then, as soon as you finish copying
or printing, the machine automatically prints the fax.

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.
C
AUTIONS
:
• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with surfactants containing
large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances
can discolor or crack the cabinet.
• 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 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 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 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 door and pull the toner cartridge out, lightly
pushing it down. Set it on a clean flat surface.
M
AINTENANCE

C
AUTIONS
:
• 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 green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the
handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
3
With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled
toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge
cavity.
C

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, press the
Toner Save
button on the control
panel; see page 2.23. The button backlight turns on. Using this
feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces your
cost per page, but it also reduces 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 ISO 5% coverage,
a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 5,000 pages. (The
original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an
average of 3,000 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.

Redistributing Toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks
or light print occurs. The LCD displays the warning message,
“Toner Low.” You can temporarily reestablish the print quality by

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be
avoided. When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in
“Clearing Paper Jams” on page 9.5.
• Follow the procedures in “Loading Paper” on page 2.7. Ensure
that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.
• Do not overload the paper tray. Ensure that the paper is
below the paper capacity mark on the inside wall of the paper
tray.
• Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is
printing.
• Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading.
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in the paper tray.
• Use only recommended print materials. See “Paper
Specifications” on page D.6.
• Ensure that the recommended print side of print materials is
facing down in the paper tray and facing up in the
Multipurpose tray.
• If paper jams occur frequently when you print on A5-sized
paper:
- Load the paper into the tray, as shown below.
- Set the page orientation to
Landscape
in the printer
properties window. See page 4.5.

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 8.7. If this does not improve the print quality,
install a new toner cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough. See “Paper
Specifications” on page D.6.
• 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 page 4.8
and page 2.23, respectively.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate
that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the
Drum” on page 8.11.
• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be
dirty. Clean the LSU (see page 8.4).

• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your
machine. See “Cleaning the Inside” on page 8.3.
• The paper path may need cleaning. See “Cleaning the
Drum” on page 8.11.
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 “Paper Specifications” on page D.6.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can
cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or
brand of paper.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. See “Vertical
repetitive defects” on page 9.21.
• If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service
representative.
Vertical lines
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been
scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new
one. See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.8.
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be
dirty. CLean the LSU (see page 8.4).
Gray background
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable:
• Change to a lighter weight paper. See “Paper
Specifications” on page D.6.
• Check the machine’s environment: very dry (low humidity)
or high humidity (higher than 80% RH) conditions can
increase the amount of background shading.
• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See
“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.8.
Vertical repetitive
defects
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at
even intervals:
• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive mark
occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet several times to
clean the cartridge; see “Cleaning the Drum” on
page 8.11. After the printout, if you still have the same
problems, remove the toner cartridge and install a new
one. See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.8.
• 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 the printer properties.
Misformed
characters
• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow
images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different
paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page D.6.
• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy

• 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 IEEE 1284 standards.
• 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.
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

Common Linux Problems
Problem Possible Cause and Solution
The machine doesn’t
print
• 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

• Check if your machine is attached to your computer. Make
sure that it is connected properly via the USB port and is
turned on.
• Check if the scanner driver for you machine is installed in
your system. Open 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.

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

should press Release port button, if you are sure that the
present port's owner is not functioning properly.

I can’t print when I
installed both Linux
Print Package (LPP) and
MFP driver on the same
machine
simultaneously.
• Since both Linux Printer Package and MFP driver make a
symbolic link to “lpr” printing command, which is
commonly used on Unix clones, it is not recommended to
use both package on the same machine.
• If you still want to use both packages simultaneously,
please install the LPP first.
• If you want to uninstall only one of them, please uninstall
both packages and install that one you want to use again.
• If you don’t want to uninstall MFP driver and install it
again, you may make the necessary symbolic link yourself.
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 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.
I encounter error
“Cannot open MFP port
device file” when
printing a document.
Please avoid changing print job parameters (via SLPR utility,
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 Linux MFP driver locks MFP port while
printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port
locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If
this situation occurred, please, try to release the MFP port.

your machine and your machine will automatically detect it as a
removable disk drive. Then you can do the following:
• Scan documents and save them on the USB flash drive.
• Print the data stored on the USB flash drive.
• Back up data, such as Phonebook entries (for the SCX-4720F
only) and the system settings of your machine.
• Restore backup files to the machine’s memory.
• Delete scanned images.
• Format the USB flash drive.
• Check the available memory space.

Getting Started
The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s MFP driver
package for using your machine with a Linux computer.
Samsung’s MFP 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 MFP devices via fast
ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. The acquired
documents can then be edited, printed on the same local MFP or
network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or
transferred to an external OCR system.
The MFP 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 MFP 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.

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 MFP driver (see page A.3), the MFP

MFP Ports Configuration
In this window, you can view the list of available MFP 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.
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 MFP 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 MFP 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 printer onto your system, it is
strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an MFP
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.

If your network uses an Access Point, you must reconfigure
the operation mode to “InfraStructure.” “InfraStructure” mode
allows both wireless and cabled computers to send files to the
machine through an Access Point.
If you select “Auto,” the print server selects the operation
mode automatically according to the network cable’s
connection each time it boots up. If a network cable is
detected, the print server enters “Ad-hoc” mode; if not, it
enters “InfraStructure” mode.
•
Channel
: This option is available in the “Ad-hoc” mode only.
In most cases, you will not need to change this setting. The
print server will scan all available channels for the specified
network and will adapt its channel to the one detected.
Default setting is 10.

Paper Storage Environment
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.
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 required 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/m
2
(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.
• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and
pressure of the machine.
S
PECIFICATIONS
D.10
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges.
N
OTES
:
• 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 D.9.
Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seams 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.
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.

N
OTES
:
• 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
C
AUTIONS
:
• 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.
C
AUTION
: To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies recommended for
use in laser printers.
