813. MaintenanceAvailable maintenance partsYou need to replace the maintenance parts at specific intervals to keep the machine in the best condition and avoid print quality and paper feeding problems resulting from the worn-out parts. Maintenance parts are mostly rollers, belts and pads. However, the replacement period and parts may differ depending on the model. Replacing maintenance parts can be performed only by an authorized service provider, dealer, or the retailer where you bought the machine. To purchase maintenance parts, contact the retailer where you bought the machine. The replacement period for the maintenance parts is informed by the Samsung Printer Status program. Or if your machine supports display screen, a message is displayed in the display screen. The replacement period varies based on the operating system used, computing performance, application software, connecting method, paper type, paper size, and job complexity.
823. MaintenanceStoring the toner cartridgeToner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these recommendations to ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.Store the 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 less than 20% or 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 usageSamsung 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. Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused by the use of refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner cartridges.
Storing the toner cartridge833. Maintenance3 Estimated cartridge lifeEstimated 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, percentage of image area, 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.
843. MaintenanceRedistributing tonerWhen the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:• White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density varies from side to side. • The Status LED blinks red. The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on the display. • The computer’s Samsung Printing Status program window appears on the computer telling you which color cartridge is low on toner (see "Using Samsung Printer Status" on page 308).If this happens, you can temporarily improve 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. Illustrations on this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on its options or models. Check your machine type (see "Front view" on page 21). • 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 area of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area. • Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.• 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.
