Wireless guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type 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.

Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for

use in the European Union or associated areas if a CE mark with a

Notified Body Registration Number and the Alert Symbol is on the

system label.

Regulatory information

5. Appendix

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:

Israel only

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.

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.

Setting the Wi-Fi Direct for mobile printing

Wi-Fi Direct is an easy-to-setup peer-to-peer connection method between the

Wi-Fi Direct certified printer and a mobile device that provides a secure

connection and better throughput than ad hoc mode.

With Wi-Fi Direct, you can connect your printer to a Wi-Fi Direct network while

concurrently connecting to an access point, You can also use a wired network

and a Wi-Fi Direct network simultaneously so multiple users can access and print

documents both from Wi-Fi Direct and from a wired network.

• You cannot connect your mobile device to the internet through the

printer’s Wi-Fi Direct.

• The supported protocol list may differ from your model, Wi-Fi Direct

networks do NOT support IPv6, network filtering, IPSec, WINS, and SLP

services.

• The maximum number of devices that can be connected via Wi-Fi Direct

is 3.

Setting up Wi-Fi Direct

You can enable Wi-Fi Direct feature by one of the following methods.

From the USB cable-connected computer(recommended)

After the driver installation is complete, Samsung Easy Printer Manager can be

set and changes in the Wi-Fi Direct can be made.

Samsung Easy Printer Manager is Available for Windows

and Mac OS users only.

•From the Start menu, select Programs or All Programs > Samsung

Printers > Samsung Easy Printer Manager > Device Settings > Network.

-Wi-Fi Direct On/Off: Select On to enable.

-Device Name: Enter the printer’s name for searching for your printer on

a wireless network. By default, the device name is the model name.

-IP Address: Enter the IP address of the printer. This IP address is used

only for the local network and not for the infrastructure wired or wireless

network. We recommend using the default local IP address (the default

local IP address of the printer for Wi-Fi Direct is 192.168.3.1 )

-Group Owner: Activate this option to assign the printer the Wi-Fi Direct

group’s owner. The Group Owner acts similar to a wireless access point.

We recommend activating this option.

-Network Password: If your printer is a Group Owner, a Network

Password is required for other mobile devices to connect to your

printer. You can configure a network password yourself, or can

remember the given Network Password that is randomly generated by

default.

5. Troubleshooting

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 ting 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 to Recycled.

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.

5. Troubleshooting

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.

Vertical lines If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface (drum part) of the toner cartridge inside the machine has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and

install a new one.

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.

5. Troubleshooting

Black background If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:

• Change to a lighter weight paper.

• Check the environmental conditions: very dry conditions or a high level of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can increase the amount

of background shading.

• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one.

• Thoroughly redistribute the toner (see "Redistributing toner" on page 47).

Toner smear • Clean the inside of the machine.

• Check the paper type and quality.

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.

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.

5. Troubleshooting

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.

Or select Thick Envelope from the Printing Preferences window (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 38).

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application

or in Printing Preferences.GEnsure the correct paper type is selected.

• If you are using a new toner cartridge, redistribute the toner first.

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 to Recycled.

Ensure the correct paper type is selected.

Misformed characters • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try different paper.

5. Troubleshooting

Common Linux problems

Refer to the Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Linux error messages.

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.

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.

“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.

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 Mac (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

213

Glossary

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

214

Glossary

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.

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 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages a day.

Glossary

215

Glossary

ECM

Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into Class 1

fax machines or fax modems. It automatically detects and corrects errors in the

fax transmission process that are sometimes caused by telephone line noise.

Emulation

Emulation is a technique of one machine obtaining the same results as another.

An emulator duplicates the functions of one system with a different system, so

that the second system behaves like the first system. Emulation focuses on exact

reproduction of external behavior, which is in contrast to simulation, which

concerns an abstract model of the system being simulated, often considering its

internal state.

Ethernet

Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area

networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer, and frame

formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data link layer of the

OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized as IEEE 802.3. It has become the most

widespread LAN technology in use during the 1990s to the present.
