743. MaintenanceOrdering supplies and accessories Available accessories may differ from country to country. Contact your sales representatives to obtain the list of available supplies, and maintenance parts. To order Samsung-authorized supplies, accessories, and maintenance parts, contact your local Samsung dealer or the retailer where you purchased your machine. You can also visit www.samsung.com/supplies, and then select your country/region to obtain the contact information for service.
753. MaintenanceAvailable suppliesWhen supplies reach the end of their life spans, you can order the followings of supplies for your machine: Depending on the options, percentage of image area and job mode used, the toner cartridge’s lifespan may differ. When purchasing new toner cartridges or other supplies, these must be purchased in the same country as the machine you are using. Otherwise, new toner cartridges or other supplies will be incompatible with your machine due to different configurations of toner cartridges and other supplies according to the specific country conditions. Samsung does not recommend using non-genuine Samsung toner cartridge such as refilled or remanufactured toner. Samsung cannot guarantee non-genuine Samsung toner cartridge's quality. Service or repair required as a result of using non-genuine Samsung toner cartridges will not be covered under the machine’s warranty. Type Average yieldaa. Declared yield value in accordance with ISO/IEC 19798.

763. 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 on the UI (User Interface) if your machine supports a 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.
773. 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 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 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 expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.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 a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner cartridges. 3 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.
783. 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 orange. 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 tonerG(see "Using Samsung Printer Status" on page 255).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). • 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.• When opening a scan unit, hold the document feeder and scan unit together.• Printing even after the toner empty status can cause serious damage to your machine.

Otherwise, your machine stops printing. • Don’t use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the imaging unit package. You could damage the surface of the imaging unit.• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the imaging unit.• To prevent damage, do not expose the imaging unit to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper to protect it if necessary.• Before closing the front cover, make sure all toner cartridges are installed properly.

944. TroubleshootingTips for avoiding paper jamsBy selecting the correct medias, most paper jams can be avoided. To avoid paper jams, refer to the following guidelines:• Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (see "Tray overview" on page 39).• Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading. • Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.• Do not mix papers in a tray.• Use only recommended print media (see "Print media specifications" on page 113).• Perforated or embossed paper does not separate easily. Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and fan them. Feed single paper from tray if there are multi-feeds or paper jams.• Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain long paper is recommended.• Do not use rough-edged paper.
954. TroubleshootingClearing paper jamsWhen an original document jams in the document feeder, a warning message appears on the display. To avoid tearing the document, remove the jammed document slowly and carefully. To prevent document jams, use the scanner glass for thick, thin or mixed paper- originals.
