Using Page Overlays

What is an Overlay?

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 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. If needed, save the file for

later use.

2. When you change the print settings from your software application,

access the printer properties. See page 4.9

3. Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay section.

5.4Maintenance

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 lint-

free 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.

5.5

Maintenance

Cleaning the Document Scanner

To keep your machine working properly, occasionally clean the white

roller, ADF rubber, and the scanning glass.

Note: Do not turn the power off to clean the scanner, as documents stored

in the memory will be lost.

1. Lift the front panel by grabbing the panel along the top edge and

open the cover.

2. Disassemble the white roller as follows:

Pull the handle of the bushing on the end of the roller slightly

outward(A), rotate it until it reaches a slot(B), then pull the roller

upward.

bushing

3. Wipe the roller surface with a soft cloth dampened with water.

5.6Maintenance

4. Clean the ADF rubber piece.

5. Carefully wipe the scanning glass with a soft, dry cloth.

If the glass is very dirty, first wipe it with a slightly dampened cloth,

then with a dry cloth. Be very careful not to scratch the glass surface.

6. Replace the roller in reverse order, and then close the front panel

firmly until it clicks into place.

5.7

Maintenance

Managing 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 4.15) or on the front panel (page 1.22).

The Toner Save Mode uses less toner than normal printing. The printed

image is much lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.

Redistributing 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.

5.8Maintenance

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.

Take the following steps to replace the toner cartridge:

1. Pulling the cover release buttons toward you, open the cover.

5.9

Maintenance

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.

4. Shake the cartridge from side to side 5 or 6 times to distribute the

toner evenly inside the cartridge.

6. Close the cover firmly until it snaps closed.

5.10 Maintenance

Automatic Document Feeder Rubber Pad

Replacement

You can purchase the ADF rubber from an authorized service center

1. Open the Control Panel Cover.

2. Insert a small flat blade screwdriver under the right and left sides of

the ADF Holder.

3. Apply upward pressure to release the two locking tabs on each side of

the assembly.

4. Remove the assembly and replace the ADF Rubber.

5. Reassemble the components in the order shown in the diagram above.

6. Place the assembly back onto the ADF Holder.

7. Press down on the assembly until it locks into position.

8. Close the Control Panel.

Troubleshooting

Print Quality Problems

Problem Possible Cause and Remedy

If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:

• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily

extend the toner cartridge life. See “Redistributing the

Toner” on page 5.7. If this does not improve the print

quality, install a new toner cartridge.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications (for

example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See “Paper

Type and Size” for faxing on page 1.17 and “Selecting

Print Media” for PC printing on page 4.1.

• If the whole page is light, Toner Save Mode may be on.

Turn the Toner Save Mode option off on front panel or

within the printer properties as your setting. See page

1.22 and 4.16 respectively.

• A combination of faded and smeared defects may indicate

that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the

Connecting Other Devices to the Phone Line

You can connect other devices to the same phone line as the SF-555P

product.

Deciding What to Connect

You have connected the SF-555P 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-555P 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.

A.2 Appendix

Situation 2

You connected the SF-555P 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-555P

Special Situations

You have two phone lines coming into one wall jack.

When you connected the SF-555P, 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.

A.3

Appendix

Connecting Other Devices, Overview

Connect other device in the order indicated.

Note:

• The SF-555P the device connected to the wall jack. If it isn’t, it cannot

answer incoming fax calls.

• As the drawing indicates, always plug the LINE jack into one device

and the EXT. jack into another device.

• Some computers have a second LINE jack which is used to connect

the computer to a dedicated voice line. If you have a second LINE

jack, check your computer’s documentation to ensure you are

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 fax 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 fax machine.

Safety Information

A.7

Appendix

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

for the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type product). 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 fax machine.

Take it to aqualified 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 product.

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

• 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.

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 product to

normal operation.

16. 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.

17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

In Case of Interference

In normal operation, your SAMSUNG fax machine produces and uses radio-

frequency 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.

A.8 Appendix

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.

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.

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.
