5. Appendix
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 s 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.
The equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the
requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the rear of this equipment is
a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier
in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be
provided to the telephone company.
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.

amp plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the
fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to
replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the
plug until you have another fuse cover.
Contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used in the UK and should be
suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have
normal 13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug
adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric
shock if you plug it into a socket.
Important warning:

Regulatory compliance statements
Wireless guidance
Low power, Radio LAN devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless
communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may
be present (embedded) in your printer system. The following section
is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless
device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries
are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections).
The wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the
countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system
rating label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in, is
not listed, contact your local Radio Approval agency for
requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may
not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be
embedded in your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as
known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may be
embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed in
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations,
manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of
the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact
during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the
wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the
body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should
be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless
devices are on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices.
Examples of common restrictions are listed below:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with
equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless
Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
In environments where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the
option to use a wireless device may be restricted or
eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas
laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of
wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in
environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use
wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for
authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Regulatory information 115
5. Appendix
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless
devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device,
when traveling between countries with your system, check
with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or
trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the
destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded
wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all
covers and shields are in place and the system is fully
assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them
in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the
authorization to use it. Contact manufacturer for service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device
will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or
contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional
information.

configuration report.
• Check whether the access point (or wireless router) has a
configured security (password). If it has a password, refer to the
access point (or wireless router) administrator.
• Check the machine's IP address. Reinstall the machine driver and
change the settings to connect to the machine on the network.
Due to the characteristics of DHCP, the allocated IP address could
change if the machine is not used for a long time or if the access
point has been reset.
• Check the wireless environment. You might not be able to
connect to the network in the infrastructure environment where
you need to type in a user's information before connecting to
access point (or wireless router).
• This machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi. Other
wireless communication types (e.g., Bluetooth) are not
supported.

5. Maintenance
Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light,
temperature and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these
recommendations to ensure optmal performance, highest quality,
and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will
be used. This should be in controlled temperature and humidity
conditions. The toner cartridge should remain in its original and
unopened package until installation – if original packaging is not
available, cover the top opening of the cartridge with paper and
store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its
useful shelf and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner
cartridge is removed from the printer, follow the instructions below
to store the toner cartridge properly.
• Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original
package.
• Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing
up as if it were installed in the machine.
• Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
- Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
- Humidity range not less than 20% and not greater than 80%.
- An environment with extreme changes in humidity or
temperature.
- Direct sunlight or room light.
-Dusty places.
- A car for a long period of time.
- An environment where corrosive gases are present.
- An environment with salty air.
1
Handling instructions
• Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the
cartridge.
• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
• Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse
direction; this can cause internal damage and toner spillage.
2
Toner cartridge usage
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of
non-Samsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including
generic, store brand, refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges.
Storing the toner cartridge 127
5. Maintenance
Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the
machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or
non-Samsung brand toner cartridges.
3
Estimated cartridge life
Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends
on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield
may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on,
operating environment, printing interval, media type and/or media
size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of
the toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more
often.
128
5. Maintenance
Tips for moving & storing your machine
• When moving the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down.
Otherwise, the inside of the machine may be contaminated by

Printing quality problems
If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, there might be a reduction in print quality. See the table below to
clear the problem.
Condition Suggested solutions
Light or faded print • If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page, the toner supply is low. Install a new toner cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough.
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print
resolution and turn the toner save mode off. See the help screen of the printer driver.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. Clean the
inside of your machine.
• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. If these steps do
not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
The top half of the paper is
printed lighter than the
rest of the paper
The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.
• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set the paper type

6. Troubleshooting
Toner specks • The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough.
• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine.
• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.
Dropouts If faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:
• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.
• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of
paper.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or
brand of paper.
• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set type to Thick.
If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
White Spots If white spots appear on the page:
• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from paper falls to the inner components within the machine, so the
transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine.
• The paper path may need cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine.
If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. If these steps do
not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
Black or color background If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:
• Change to a lighter weight paper.

increase the amount of background shading.
• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one.
Toner smear • Clean the inside of the machine.
• Check the paper type and quality.
• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.
Condition Suggested solutions
Printing quality problems 152
6. Troubleshooting
Vertical repetitive defects If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:
• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If you still have the same problem, remove the toner cartridge and, install
a new one.
• 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 in Printing Preferences. Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example: If
Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain Paper actually used, an overcharging can occur causing this copy quality
problem.
Toner particles are around
bold characters or pictures
The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.
• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set the paper type

6. Troubleshooting
Copying problems
Condition Suggested solutions
Copies are too light or too
dark.
Adjust the darkness in copy feature to lighten or darken the backgrounds of copies.
Smears, lines, marks, or
spots appear on copies.
• If the defects are on the original, adjust darkness in copy feature to lighten the background of your copies.
• If there are no defects on the original, clean the scan unit.
Copy image is skewed. • Ensure that the original is aligned with the registration guide .
• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine.
Blank copies print out. Ensure that the original is face down on the scanner glass or face up in the document feeder.
If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
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 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 type and weight.
• 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 scanner lid may be left open while copies are being made.
• Turn the machine off and back on.

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

Common Linux problems
Condition Suggested 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 the Printers configuration window to look at the list of available machines. Make sure that
your machine is displayed on the list. If not, open Add new printer wizard to set up your device.
• Check if the machine is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine from the printers list.
Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains Stopped, press the Start button.
Normal operation of the machine should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some
problems in printing occur.
• Check if your application has special print options 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 the
command line parameter in the command item.
Some color images come
out all black.
This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color space of the
document is indexed color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE color
space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript
version 7.06 or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com.
Some color images come
out in unexpected color.
This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the base color space of the
document is indexed RGB color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE
color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU
Ghostscript version 8.xx or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com.
Operating system problems 165
6. Troubleshooting
The machine does not
print whole pages, and
output is printed on half
the page.
It is a known problem that occurs when a color machine is used on version 8.51 or earlier of Ghostscript, 64-bit
Linux OS, and has been reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript Bug 688252.The problem is solved in
AFPL Ghostscript v. 8.52 or above. Download the latest version of AFPL Ghostscript from http://sourceforge.net/
projects/ghostscript/ and install it to solve this problem.
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 detailed information, refer to the Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end
application.
If you wish to use another kind of scan application, refer to application’s Help.
“Cannot open port device
file” error message
appears when printing a
document.
Avoid changing print job parameters (e.q., via LPR GUI) 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 the port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked
and unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurs, try to release the port by selecting Release port
in the Port configuration window.
Condition Suggested solutions
Operating system problems 166
6. Troubleshooting
Refer to the Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Linux error messages.
The machine does not
appear on the scanners
list.
• Ensure your machine is attached to your computer, connected properly via the USB port, and is turned on.
• Ensure the scanner driver for your machine is installed in your system. Open Unified Linux 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.
• Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional components of machine (printer and scanner) share the same I/O
interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different user applications to the same port is possible.
To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other user
will encounter “device busy” response. This usually happens when starting a scan procedure. An appropriate
message box appears.
To identify the source of the problem, open the 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 another
application. If this is the case, you should either wait for completion of the current job or press the Release port
button, if you are sure that the present port applicaton is not functioning properly.
The machine does not

Glossary
The following glossary helps you get familiar with the
product by understanding the terminologies commonly
used with printing as well as mentioned in this user’s guide.
802.11
802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN)
communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards
Committee (IEEE 802).
802.11b/g/n
802.11b/g/n can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band.
802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps, 802.11n supports
bandwidth up to 150 Mbps. 802.11b/g/n devices may occasionally
suffer interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and
Bluetooth devices.
Access point
Access Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that
connects wireless communication devices together on wireless local
area networks (WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver
of WLAN radio signals.
ADF
An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a scanning unit that will
automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine
can scan some amount of the paper at once.
AppleTalk
AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc
for computer networking. It was included in the original Macintosh
(1984) and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP
networking.
BIT Depth
A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to
represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher
color depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number
of bits increases, the number of possible colors becomes
impractically large for a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as
monochrome or black and white.
BMP
A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft
Windows graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple
graphics file format on that platform.
Glossary 173
BOOTP
Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to
obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the
bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on
them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of
addresses to each client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation'
computers to obtain an IP address prior to loading any advanced
operating system.
CCD
Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan
job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to
prevent any damage when you move the machine.
Collation
Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When
collation is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing
additional copies.
Control Panel
A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or
monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in
front of the machine.
Coverage
It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on
printing. For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper
has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has
complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher
and at the same time, a toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
CSV
Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to
exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it
is used in Microsoft Excel, has become a de facto standard
throughout the industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.
DADF
A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a scanning unit that
will automatically feed and turn over an original sheet of paper so
that the machine can scan on both sides of the paper.
Default
The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its
box state, reset, or initialized.
Glossary 174
DHCP
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server
networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration
parameters specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally,
information required by the client host to participate on an IP
network. DHCP also provides a mechanism for allocation of IP
addresses to client hosts.
DIMM
Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), a small circuit board that holds
memory. DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing
data, received fax data.
DLNA
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a standard that allows
devices on a home network to share information with each other
across the network.
DNS
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information
associated with domain names in a distributed database on
networks, such as the Internet.
Dot Matrix Printer
A dot matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print
head that runs back and forth on the page and prints by impact,
striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a
typewriter.
DPI
Dots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for
scanning and printing. Generally, higher DPI results in a higher
resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.
DRPD
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Distinctive Ring is a telephone
company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line
to answer several different telephone numbers.
Duplex
A mechanism that will automatically turn over a sheet of paper so
that the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A
printer equipped with a Duplex Unit can print on both sides of paper
during one print cycle.
Glossary 175
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer
performance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan
limitation such as pages per year. The lifespan means the average
capacity of print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For
example, if the duty cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20
