What is an Overlay?
Dear ABC
Regards
WORLD BEST
5.20 Printing
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD as a
special file format that can be printed on any document you choose.
Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and
letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, for example,
you can create an overlay containing the exact same information as is
currently on your letterhead. Then when you want to print a letter with
your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted
letterhead paper in the printer. You need only to 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.
1. Create or open a document containing a text or image you want to
use for page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to
appear when printed as an overlay. If needed, save the file for later
use.
2. Select Print from the File menu. Then click Properties in the
application’s Print dialog box to access the printer properties. For
details, see page 5.9.
3. Click the Overlays tab, and click Create Overlay.

Cleaning the Machine
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below every
time the toner cartridge is replaced or whenever print quality problems
occur. As much as possible, keep your machine free from dust and
debris.
Note:
• Do not use ammonia-based sprays or volatile solvents such as thinner to
clean the machine, as these can damage the machine’s surface.
• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful no to touch the
transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge). The oil from your
hands on the roller can cause print quality problems.
Cleaning the Outside
Wipe the outside surfaces of your machine with a soft, clean, and lintfree cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful
not to let any water drip onto the machine or inside it.
Cleaning the Inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can
accumulate inside the machine. Over time, this buildup can cause print
quality problems such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning inside the
printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.
1. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord, then wait for the
machine to be cool.
2. Pulling the cover release buttons toward you, open the cover and
remove the toner cartridge.
Note: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minute. Cover it with a piece of paper, if
necessary.
3. With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spiled toner from
the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.
6.4
Maintenance
Cleaning the Document Scanner

Maintenance
Caring for the Toner Cartridge
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in
each print job. For instance, when you print a typical business letter with
about 5% page coverage, you can expect a toner cartridge life of
approximately 2,500 pages (1,000 pages only for the toner cartridge
shipped with your machine). The actual number may vary according to
the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you
may need to change the cartridge more often.
You can extend the life of your toner cartridge by using Toner Save Mode
on the printer properties (page 5.11) or on the front panel (page 1.24).
The Toner Save Mode uses less toner than normal printing. The printed
image is much lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.
Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or hue
changes will occur. You can temporarily re-establish the print quality by
re-distributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.
1. Open the cover and remove the toner cartridge.
2. Gently shake the cartridge to distribute the toner evenly inside the
cartridge.
3. Reinstall the cartridge and close the cover.
This is typically successful one time only. When the toner eventually runs
out, only blank pages will print when a print job is sent, or when
a fax is received. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced.
See the following page.
Maintenance
6.7
Take the following steps to replace the toner cartridge:
1. Pulling the cover release buttons toward you, open the cover.
2. Remove the old toner cartridge. Follow the instructions printed on the
cartridge box to recycle the used cartridge.
3. Unpack a new toner cartridge from its plastic bag, and then remove
the paper rolled the cartridge.
6.8
Maintenance
4. Shake the cartridge from side to side 5 or 6 times to distribute the
toner evenly inside the cartridge.
5. Find the cartridge slots inside the machine, one on each side. Grasp
the handle and slide the cartridge down between the cartridge slots
until it drops into place.
6. Close the cover firmly until it snaps closed.

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you
should be able to avoid most paper jams. If jams do occur, follow the
steps outlined in “Clearing Jams” starting on page 7.1. If jams occur
frequently, make sure that you are following these preventative tips:
• Follow the procedures in “Loading Paper” on page 1.17 to load paper
properly. Make sure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.
• Do not overload the paper. Up to 150 sheets can be loaded in the
automatic paper input tray at a time and the manual input tray holds
only one sheet at a time.
• If you are needed to add more sheets of paper while printing, remove
the remaining paper from the tray at first. Then, reinsert them with the
new paper. Note that adding new paper into the remains in the tray
may cause paper jams or multiple feeding.
• Envelopes with self-stick adhesives may cause wrinkling, creasing, or
even jams and may even damage your machine.
• Fan stacks of labels or transparencies before loading them into the
automatic paper input tray. If jams occur when using the paper input
tray, try feeding one sheet at a time in the manual input tray.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper sizes in the paper input tray.
• Use only recommended print media.
• Make sure that the recommended print side is facing up when loading
it in the paper input tray.
• Keep print media stored in a suitable environment.

Connecting Other Devices to the Phone Line
You can connect other devices to the same phone line as the SF-530
series product.
Deciding What to Connect
You have connected the SF-530 series to the wall jack. Generally, there
are three other devices that can be connected to the same phone line:
• a telephone
• an answering machine
• an external modem or a computer with an internal modem
Which, of these you connect to this phone line depends on your
configuration. Please see the following configurations.
Situation 1
You connected the SF-530 series to a wall jack with a phone
line for fax calls only (a dedicated fax line).
You do not need to connect any other devices. However:
• You can connect an external modem or a computer with an internal
modem to this phone line if you want to use the fax line to access the
Internet or e-mail.
• You can connect an extra telephone to this wall jack if you would like
to make outgoing voice calls.
To connect any of these devices to the same phone line, go to
“Connecting Other Devices, Overview” on page A.3. If you have another
wall jack for this phone line, you can connect the extra phone and/or
external modem or computer with internal modem to the other wall jack.
Note: Because this is a dedicated fax line, you should never have an
answering machine or computer connected. Or, using computer
voicemail, you must connect the computer with internal modem or
the external modem to your dedicated voice line. You will connect to
the Internet or e-mail using the dedicated voice line.
Appendix A.1
Situation 2
You connected the SF-530 series to a wall jack with a phone
line for fax and voice calls (a shared line).
Connect any other devices you have to this phone line. To connect the
other devices you have to the same wall jack as the product, go to
Appendix “Connecting Other Devices, Overview” on page A.3.
If you have another wall jack for this phone line, you can connect some
of the devices to that wall jack. However, if you have an answering
machine or computer with voicemail, make sure to connect it to the
same wall jack as the SF-530 series.
Special Situations
You have two phone lines coming into one wall jack.
When you connected the SF-530 series, you should have plugged it into
a phone unit splitter connected to the wall jack. Proceed as if that side of
the phone unit splitter is a phone line for fax calls only (a dedicated
line). See “Situation 1” on page A.1.
You have one phone line with two phone numbers and
distinctive ring service.
Use the same guidelines in “Situation 2” above for connecting other
devices. You can change settings for distinctive ring later.

• If the product does not operate properly after instructions have been
followed.
• If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
• If the product exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.
14. 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 product to
normal operation.
15. Avoid using this fax machine during a lightning storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC
power and telephone for the duration of the lightning storm.
16. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
In Case of Interference
In normal operation, your SAMSUNG fax machine produces and uses radiofrequency energy. In some cases, this can cause interference to other electronic
equipment. Part 15 of the FCC rules establishes guidelines limiting the amount
of radio-frequency energy which may be produced by electronic equipment.
Tests have proven that your Samsung FAX machine meets or exceeds these
guidelines, and is classified a “Class B Digital Device” for operation in a
residential environment. When installed and operated according to instructions,
your SAMSUNG fax machine should not cause interference to the types of
equipment expected to be found in a normal residential environment.
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate
the equipment.
Appendix A.7
In the event your SAMSUNG fax machine appears to cause interference to other
electronic equipment, it can often be easily remedied. First determine if the
source of interference really is your FAX machine. To do this, turn its power off
and on while observing the equipment experiencing the interference. If the
interference disappears when you turn the FAX machine off, the following steps
can be very effective in correcting interference problems:
• Connect the FAX machine to an AC outlet which is on a different circuit
breaker from the equipment experiencing interference.
• Increase the distance between the FAX machine and the equipment
experiencing interference.
• Cable TV amplifiers and splitters are extremely prone to interference. Be
certain that they are as far as possible from the FAX machine and its AC
power and telephone cords.
• Replace “twin lead” antenna wire with shielded coaxial cable, and use proper
connectors and adaptors.
• Turn or relocate the receiving antenna. In most cases this is easily done by
sim-ply moving a radio. A TV antenna may need to be re-oriented or installed
in another area of the building.
• Consult your dealer, a reputable radio/TV technician, or an Amateur Radio
Operator for help.
* To locate an Amateur Radio Operator in your area, contact The American
Radio Relay League, 610 Main St., Newington, CT 06111.
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.
See pages 1.22 to 1.23 for instructions on how to enter this information into
your Samsung FAX machine’s memory.
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.
A.8 Appendix
Telephone Company Information
FCC IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this equipment
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.
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER
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.
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 Samsung FAX 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 FAX 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 FAX 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 equipment may not be used on coin service or party lines.
• This telephone 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.
