Important Precautions and Safety Information

When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to

reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to people:

1 Read and understand all instructions.

2 Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

3 Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the literature

accompanying the machine.

4 If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the

safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you

cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for

assistance.

5 Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket and/or telephone jack before

cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for

cleaning.

6 Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall, causing

serious damage.

7 Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater, air

conditioner or ventilation duct.

8 Do not allow anything to rest on the power. Do not locate your machine where the

cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

9 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance,

and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

10 Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone or PC interface cords.

11 Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or cabinet

openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or

shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.

12 Your machine may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for

the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type machine). In this case,

replace the cover after placing document on the scan glass, by holding and

moving it down slowly until it seats on its location.

13 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to a

qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing

covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly

could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

14 Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, PC and AC wall outlet and refer

servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When any part of the power cord, plug or connecting cable is damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into the machine.

• If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.

• If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.

• If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

15 Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive

work by a qualified service technician to restore the machine to normal operation.

16 Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of

electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power and telephone cord

for the duration of the lightning storm.

17 The Power cord supplied with your machine should be used for safe operation. If

you are using a cord which is longer than 2 m with 110 V machine, then it should

be 16 AWG

or bigger.

18 Use only No.26 AWG

or larger telephone line cord.

19 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

Radio Frequency Emissions

FCC Information to the User

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following

two conditions:

• This device may not cause harmful interference, and

• This device must accept any interference received, including interference that

may cause undesired operation.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or experienced radio TV technician for help.

AUTION

Change or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer

responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Canadian Radio Interference Regulations

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from

digital apparatus as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled

“Digital Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Industry and Science Canada.

Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux

appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans la norme sur le matériel brouilleur:

“Appareils Numériques”, ICES-003 édictée par l’Industrie et Sciences Canada.

Fax Branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to

use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone

facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom

of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission the following

information:

(1) the date and time of transmission

(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the message;

and

(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or

individual.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,

equipment operations or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the

operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC

Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal

equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require

modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its

use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the

customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

Ringer Equivalence Number

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may

be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances

you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the

telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded” the line.

Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems

making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The

sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line should

be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some

cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment

is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as

it may cause harm to the telephone network.

iii

WARNING:

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly

approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the

telephone company should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However,

where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service, providing

that they:

a) promptly notify the customer.

b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.

c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication

Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E

of Part 68.

You should also know that:

• Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.

• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as

your machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all the

equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular

telephone, share the line with your machine.

• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we

recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone

lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and

electronic specialty stores.

• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency

numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service dispatcher

of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually

test the emergency number.

• This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.

• This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

• You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a

standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

5 Loading originals and print

media

This chapter introduces you to how to load originals and print media into

your machine.

This chapter includes:

• Loading originals

• Selecting print media

• Loading paper

• Setting the paper size and type

• Verifying an output location

Loading originals

You can use the scanner glass or ADF to load an original for copying,

scanning, and sending a fax.

On the scanner glass

Make sure that no originals are in the ADF. If an original is detected in the

ADF, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass.

To get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images,

use the scanner glass.

1Lift and open the scanner lid.

2Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with

the registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.

3Close the scanner lid.

In the ADF

Using the ADF, you can load up to 30 sheets of paper (75 g/m2) for one

job.

When you use the ADF:

• Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm or larger than

216 x 356 mm.

• Do not attempt to load the following types of paper:

- carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper

- coated paper

- onion skin or thin paper

- wrinkled or creased paper

- curled or rolled paper

- torn paper

• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.

• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely

dry before loading.

• Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.

• Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents

having other unusual characteristics.

Notes

• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy

quality and toner consumption.

• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the

printout. Always keep it clean.

5.2 <

Loading originals and print media>

To load an original into the ADF:

1Load the original face up into the ADF. Make sure that the bottom of

the original stack matches the paper size marked on the document

input tray.

2Adjust the document width guides to the paper size.

Note

Dust on the ADF glass may cause black lines on the printout.

Always keep it clean.

Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,

labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the

guidelines for use with your machine. Print media that does not meet the

guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:

• Poor print quality

• Increased paper jams

• Premature wear on the machine.

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are

important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output

quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate

for your project.

• Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper

adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight: Your machine supports print media weights as follows:

- 60 to 90 g/m2 bond for the tray

- 60 to 165 g/m2 bond for the manual tray

• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce

sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how

crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Caution

Using print media that does not meet these specifications may

cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered

by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Notes

• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section

and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result

of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity

levels, or other variables over which Samsung has no control.

• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it

meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials,

keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on

page 5.3.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause

paper jams and poor print quality.

• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper

specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• Avoid using the following media types:

- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too

smooth or too rough

- Erasable bond paper

- Multi-paged paper

- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

- Carbonless paper and tracing paper

Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical

smells, and damage to your machine.

• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.

Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place

heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or

unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can

cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C.

The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic

container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating

your paper.

• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the manual tray

to avoid paper jams.

• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from

sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Caution

If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface of the rear

cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.

Guidelines for special print media

Media type Guidelines

Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends upon

the quality of the envelopes. When selecting

envelopes, consider the following factors:

- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper

should not exceed 90 g/m2 or jamming may

occur.

- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes

should lie flat with less than 6 mm 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 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.

• 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 of 180 °C 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 from the edges of the

envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the

envelope’s seams meet.

Acceptable

Unacceptable

5.5 <

Loading originals and print media>

Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

• Transparencies used in the machine must be

able to withstand 180 °C, the machine’s fusing

temperature.

• Place them on a flat surface after removing them

from the machine.

• Do not leave them in 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 them carefully.

• To avoid fading, do not expose printed

transparencies to prolonged sunlight.

• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled,

curled, or have any torn edges.

Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

designed for use in laser printers.

• When selecting labels, consider the following

factors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

stable at 180 °C, the machine’s fusing

temperature.

- 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 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 or

custom-sized

materials

• Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm wide

or 148 mm long.

• In the software application, set margins at least

6,4 mm away from the edges of the material.

Media type Guidelines

Loading paper

In the tray

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray.

The tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 plain paper.

1Open the tray. Squeeze the paper length guide and pull it out to

extend the tray.

2If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to

separate the pages before loading.

Preprinted

paper

• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant

ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release

hazardous emissions when subjected to the

machine’s fusing temperature of 180 °C for

0,1 second.

• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and

should not adversely affect printer rollers.

• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a

moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes

during storage.

• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms

and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is

dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come

off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Notes

• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at

a time in the manual tray.

• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should

be facing down with an uncurled edge at the front. If you

experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around.

Note that print quality is not guaranteed.

Notes

Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following

loading guidelines:

• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top

left side.

• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive

strip entering the machine first.

• Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the machine

first.

• Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the

machine.

• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the

machine first.

• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an

Faxing>

Receiving automatically in Fax mode

Your machine is preset to Fax mode at the factory. When you receive a

fax, the machine answers the call on a specified number of rings and

automatically receives the fax.

To change the number of rings, see page 10.1.

Receiving manually in Tel mode

You can receive a fax call by pressing On Hook Dial and then pressing

Start when you hear a fax tone from the remote machine.

The machine begins receiving a fax and returns to Standby mode when

the reception is completed.

Receiving manually using an extension

telephone

This features works best when you are using an extension telephone

connected to the EXT socket on the back of your machine. You can

receive a fax from someone you are talking to on the extension telephone

without going to the fax machine.

When you receive a call on the extension phone and hear fax tones,

press the keys 9 on the extension phone. The machine receives the

fax.

Press the buttons slowly in sequence. If you still hear the fax tone from

the remote machine, try pressing 9 once again.

9 is the remote receive code preset at the factory. The first and the

last asterisks are fixed, but you can change the middle number to

whatever you wish. For details about changing the code, see page 10.1.

Receiving automatically in Ans/Fax mode

To use this mode, you must attach an answering machine to the EXT

socket on the back of your machine.

If the caller leaves a message, the answering machine stores the

message as it would normally. If your machine detects a fax tone on the

line, it automatically starts to receive the fax.

Notes

• If you have set your machine to Ans/Fax mode and your

answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is

connected to EXT socket, your machine automatically goes

into Fax mode after a predefined number of rings.

• If your answering machine has a user-selectable ring counter,

set the machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.

• If you are in Tel mode (manual reception) when the answering

machine is connected to your machine, you must switch off the

answering machine, or the outgoing message from the

answering machine will interrupt your phone conversation.

Receiving faxes using DRPD mode

Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables an 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 (DRPD) 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 socket. You can easily suspend or change DRPD at any

time.

Before using the DRPD option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed

on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up DRPD, 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:

1Press Menu until Fax Setup appears on the top line of the display.

2Press the Scroll buttons until DRPD Mode appears and press

Enter

3Press the Scroll buttons until Set appears and press Enter.

Waiting Ring appears on the display.

4Call your fax number from another telephone. It is not necessary to

place the call from a fax machine.

5When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call. The

machine requires several rings to learn the pattern.

When the machine completes learning, the display shows End

DRPD [Setup].

If the DRPD setup fails, DRPD Ring Error appears. Press Enter

when DRPD Mode appears and start over from step 3.

6Press Stop/Clear to return to Standby mode.

When the DRPD feature is set up, the DRPD option is available for the

receiving mode setting. To receive faxes in DRPD mode, you need to set

the menu to DRPD.

Notes

• 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 socket.

5Press Stop/Clear to return to Standby mode.

Cleaning your machine

To maintain print and scan quality, follow the cleaning procedures below

each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print and scan quality

problems occur.

Caution

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.

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.

1Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the

machine to cool down.

2Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a

clean flat surface.

Phone Book Clears all of the fax numbers stored in

memory.

Options Description

3Pull the manual tray out.

4With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from

the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

Caution

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 scan quality problems.

Cautions

• 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 surface underside of the toner

cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching

this area.

12.3 <

Maintenance>

5Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge

compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if dirt turns the white

cotton black.

6Push the manual tray back into the machine.

7Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the front cover.

8Plug 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.

1Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.

2Open the scanner lid.

3Wipe the surface of the scanner glass and ADF glass until it is clean

and dry.

4Wipe the underside of the scanner lid and white sheet until it is

clean and dry.

5Close the scanner lid.

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.

Expected cartridge life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print

jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner

cartridge lasts an average of either 3,000 or 1,500 pages. (The original

toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 1,500

pages.) The actual number may also be different depending on the print

density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be

affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and

media size. 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 printing occurs.

•Toner Low appears on the display.

If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish 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.

1Open the front cover.

2Pull the toner cartridge out.

3Thoroughly 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 toner into fabric.

Caution

Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge.

Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

4Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge

into the opening in the machine.

Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within

the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it

locks into place completely.

5Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.

Replacing the toner cartridge

Troubleshooting>

Printing quality problems

If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you

may notice 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

page 12.4. 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 page 5.7.

• 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 and page 2.3, respectively.

• A combination of faded or smeared defects

may indicate that the toner cartridge needs

cleaning. See page 12.5.

• The surface of the LSU part inside the

machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See

page 12.2.

Toner specks

• The paper may not meet specifications; for

example, the paper is too moist or too rough.

See page 5.7.

• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the

inside of your machine. See page 12.2.

• The paper path may need cleaning. See page

12.2.

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 page 5.7.

• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing

processes can cause some areas to reject

toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.

• If these steps do not correct the problem,

contact a service representative.

AaBbCc

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

page 12.4.

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 12.2.

Gray background

If the amount of background shading becomes

unacceptable:

• Change to a lighter weight paper. See

page 5.7.

• 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 page 12.4.

Toner smear

• Clean the inside of the machine. See

page 12.2.

• Check the paper type and quality. See

page 5.7.

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new

one. See page 12.4.

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 page 12.5. After the printout, if

you still have the same problems, remove the

toner cartridge and install a new one. See

page 12.4.

• 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

13.9 <

Troubleshooting>

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 papers. 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 page

5.7.

• If characters are improperly formed and

producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may

need service. For service, contact a service

representative.

Page skew

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See

page 5.7.

• Ensure that the paper or other material is

loaded correctly and the guides are not too

tight or too loose against the paper stack.

Curl or wave

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. Both high

temperature and humidity can cause the

paper to curl. See page 5.7.

• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also

try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

Condition Suggested solutions

Wrinkles or creases

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See

Check for leaking toner. Clean the inside of the

machine. See page 12.2.

Black pages

• The toner cartridge may not be installed

properly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.

• The toner cartridge may be defective and

need replacing. Remove the toner cartridge

and install a new one. See page 12.4.

• The machine may require to be repaired.

Contact a service representative.

Loose toner

• Clean the inside of the machine. See

page 12.2.

• Check the paper type and quality. See

page 5.7.

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new

one. See page 12.4.

• If the problem persists, the machine may

require repair. Contact a service

representative.

Character Voids

Character voids are white areas within parts of

characters that should be solid black:

• If you are using transparencies, try another

type of transparency. Because of the

composition of transparencies, some

character voids are normal.

• You may be printing on the wrong surface of

the paper. Remove the paper and turn it

around.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications.

See page 5.7.

Horizontal stripes

If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears

appear:

• The toner cartridge may be installed

improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert

it.

• The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove

the toner cartridge and install a new one. See

page 12.4.

• If the problem persists, the machine may

require repair. Contact a service

representative.

Curl

If the printed paper is curled or paper does not

feed into the machine:

• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also

try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

An unknown image

repetitively appears

on a next few

sheets or loose

toner, light print, or

contamination

occurs.

Your printer is probably being used at an altitude

of 2,500 m (8,200 ft) or above.

The high altitude may affect the print quality

such as loose toner or light imaging. You can set

this option through the Printer tab in printer

driver's properties. Refer to the Software

Section for details.

Copying problems

Condition Suggested solutions

Copies are too light

or too dark.

Use Darkness to darken or lighten the

background of the copies.

Smears, lines,

marks, or spots

appears on copies.

• If defects are on the original, press Darkness

to lighten the background of your copies.

• If no defects are on the original, clean the scan

unit. See page 12.3.

Copy image is

skewed.

• Ensure that the original is face down on the

scanner glass or face up in the ADF.

• Check that the copy paper is loaded correctly.

Blank copies print

out.

Ensure that the original is face down on the

scanner glass or face up in the ADF.

Image rubs off the

copy easily.

• Replace the paper in the tray with paper from a

new package.

• In high humidity areas, do not leave paper in

the machine for extended periods of time.

Frequent copy

paper jams occur.

• Fan the stack of paper, then turn it over in the

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. 75 g/m2 bond paper is recommended.

• Check for copy paper or pieces of copy paper

remaining in the machine after a paper jam has

been cleared.

Toner cartridge

produces fewer

copies than

expected before

running out of

toner.

• Your originals may contain pictures, solids, or

heavy lines. For example, your originals may

be forms, newsletters, books, or other

documents that use more toner.

• The machine may be turned on and off

frequently.

• The scanner lid may be left open while copies

are being made.

Scanning problems

Condition Suggested solutions

The scanner does

not work.

• Make sure that you place the original to be

scanned face down on the scanner glass, or

face up in the ADF.

• 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 cable is connected

properly.

• Make sure that the USB 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

Configuration

or the application you want to

use to make certain that the scanner job is

being sent to the correct port.

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 the 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

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 that job is complete, try your

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.

• The scanner driver is not installed or the

operating environment is not set up properly.

machine.

• Make sure that the paper is not wrinkled and

you are putting it in correctly. Check that the

original is the right size, not too thick or thin.

• Make sure that the ADF is firmly closed.

• The ADF rubber pad may need to be replaced.

See page 12.6.

Faxes are not

received

automatically.

• The receiving mode should be set to Fax.

• Make sure that there is paper in the tray.

• Check to see if the display shows any error

messages. If it does, clear the problem.

The machine does

not send.

• Make sure that the original is loaded in the ADF

or on the scanner glass.

•Sending should show up on the display.

• Check the fax machine you are sending to, to

see if it can receive your fax.

The incoming fax

has blank spaces

or is of poor-

quality.

• The fax machine sending you the fax may be

faulty.

• A noisy phone line can cause line errors.

• Check your machine by making a copy.

• The toner cartridge may be empty. Replace the

toner cartridge, referring to page 12.4.

Some of the words

Common Linux problems

Problem Possible cause and solutions

The machine does not

print.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your

system. Open Unified Driver configurator

and switch to the Printers tab in 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 has 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 a document when a 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” applications to the

same port are 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 you should

press Release port button, if you are sure

that the present port's owner is not

functioning properly.

The printer does not

print PDF file correctly.

Some parts of graphics,

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 solutions

Common Macintosh problems (SCX-4725FN only)

I encounter error

“Cannot open port

device file” when

printing a document.

Please avoid changing the 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.

Problem Suggested solutions

document.

Image Mode

The available options are Normal and Text Enhance.

Some

printers do not support this feature.

•

Printer Setting

: If you select this option, this feature is

determined by the setting you’ve made on the control panel of

the printer.

•

Normal

: This setting is for normal documents.

•

Text Enhance

: Image Mode allows the user to enhance

printouts.

Toner Save Mode

Selecting this option extends the life of your toner cartridge and

reduces your cost per page without a significant reduction in print

quality.

Some printers do not support this feature.

•

Printer Setting

: If you select this option, this feature is

determined by the setting you’ve made on the control panel of

the printer.

: Select this option to allow the printer to use less toner on

each page.

•

Off

: If you don’t need to save toner when printing a document,

select this option.

Advanced Options

You can set advanced settings by clicking the

button.

•

TrueType Options

: This option determines what the driver

tells the printer about how to image the text in your document.

Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your

document.

This option may be available only in

Windows 9x/Me, depending on your particular printer

model.

Download as Outline

: When this option is selected, the

driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your

document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If,

after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print

correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your

print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful

when printing Adobe.

This feature is available only

when you use the PCL printer driver.

Download as Bit Image

: When this option is selected, the

driver will download the font data as bitmap images.

Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or

Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.

Print as Graphics

: When this option is selected, the driver

will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents

with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts,

printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this

setting.

•

letterhead paper.

For details, see

“Using Overlays” on page 21.

Output Options

•

Print Subset

: You can set the sequence in which the pages

print. Select the print order from the drop-down list.

Normal (1,2,3)

: Your printer prints all pages from the first

page to the last page.

Reverse All Pages (3,2,1)

: Your printer prints all pages

from the last page to the first page.

Print Odd Pages

: Your printer prints only the odd numbered

pages of the document.

Print Even Pages

: Your printer prints only the even

numbered pages of the document.

•

Use Printer Fonts

: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the

printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident

fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the

fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes

time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time.

When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts

used in your document to those stored in its memory. If,

however, you use fonts in your document that are very different

from those resident in the printer, your printed output will

appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.

This feature is available only when you use the PCL

printer driver.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard

disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on

any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of

preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using

preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the

exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To

print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need

to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only

tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your

document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay

containing your logo or image.

Create or open a document containing text or an image for

use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as

you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.

To save the document as an overlay, access printer

properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 12.

• Using the Unified Driver Configurator

• Configuring Printer Properties

• Printing a Document

• Scanning a Document

Getting Started

The 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.

Using Your Printer in Linux

Using the Unified Driver

Configurator

Unified 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.

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.
