Printing Quality Problems

If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded

improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the

table below to clear the problem.

Condition Suggested solutions

Light or faded

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

Toner” on page 8.4. 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 Specifications” on page 10.3.

• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is

too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print

resolution and turn the toner save mode off. For

details, see

Software User’s Guide

and “Toner Save

Mode” on page 2.11, respectively.

• A combination of faded or smeared defects may

indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See

“Cleaning the Drum” on page 8.5.

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be

dirty. Clean the LSU (“Cleaning the Inside” on

page 8.2). Contact a service representative.

Toner specs

• The paper may not meet specifications; for example,

the paper is too moist or too rough. See “Paper

Specifications” on page 10.3.

• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of

your machine. See “Cleaning the Inside” on page 8.2.

• The paper path may need cleaning. See “Cleaning the

Drum” on page 8.5.

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. See “Paper Specifications” on

page 10.3.

• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can

cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or

brand of paper.

• The toner cartridge may be defective. See “

Vertical

repetitive defects

” on page 9.9.

• If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a

service representative.

AaBbCc

Troubleshooting

9.9

Vertical lines

If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been

scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a

new one. See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on

page 8.4.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be

dirty. Clean the LSU (“Cleaning the Inside” on

page 8.2). Contact a service representative.

Gray

background

If the amount of background shading becomes

unacceptable:

• Change to a lighter weight paper. See “Paper

Specifications” on page 10.3.

• Check the machine’s environment: very dry (low

humidity) or high humidity (higher than 80% RH)

conditions can increase the amount of background

shading.

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

See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.4.

Toner smear

• Clean the inside of the machine. See “Cleaning the

Inside” on page 8.2.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper

Specifications” on page 10.3.

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

“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.4.

Vertical

repetitive

defects

If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the

page at even intervals:

• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive

mark occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet several

times to clean the cartridge; see “Cleaning the Drum”

on page 8.5. After the printout, if you still have the

same problems, remove the toner cartridge and install

a new one. See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on

page 8.4.

• 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.

• If you use inferior quality paper; see “Cleaning the

Drum” on page 8.5.

Condition Suggested solutions

AaBbCc

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.

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of

a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your

software application or the printer properties.

Misformed

characters

• If characters are improperly formed and producing

hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a

different paper. See “Paper Specifications” on

page 10.3.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing a

wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. For

service, contact a service representative.

Page skew

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper

Specifications” on page 10.3.

• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded

correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose

against the paper stack.

Curl or wave

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. Both high

temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. See

“Paper Specifications” on page 10.3.

• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try

rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

Wrinkles or

creases

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper

Image rubs off the

copy easily.

• Replace the paper in the tray with paper from a

new package.

• In high humidity areas, do not leave paper in the

machine for extended periods of time.

Frequent copy paper

jams occur.

• Fan the stack of paper, then turn it over in the

tray. Replace the paper in the tray with a fresh

supply. Check/adjust the paper guides, if

necessary.

• Ensure that the paper is the proper paper

weight. 20 lb (75 g/m

bond) paper is

recommended.

• Check for copy paper or pieces of copy paper

remaining in the machine after a paper jam has

been cleared.

Toner cartridge

produces fewer copies

than expected before

running out of toner.

• Your originals may contain pictures, solids, or

heavy lines. For example, your originals may be

forms, newsletters, books, or other documents

that use more toner.

• The machine may be turned on and off

frequently.

• The document cover may be left open while

copies are being made.

Scanning Problems

Fax Problems

(Only for

SCX-4521F

)

Condition Suggested solutions

The scanner does

not work.

• Make sure that you place the document to be

scanned face down on the document glass, or face

up in the Automatic Document Feeder.

• There may not be enough available memory to hold

the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan

function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan

resolution rate.

• Check that the USB or parallel cable is connected

properly.

• Make sure that the USB or parallel cable is not

defective. Switch the cable with a known good

cable. If necessary, replace the cable.

• If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it is

compliant with IEEE 1284 standards.

• Check that the scanner is configured correctly.

Check scan setting in the SmarThru Configuration

or the application you want to use to make certain

that the scanner job is being sent to the correct

port, for example, LPT1.

The unit scans very

slowly.

• Check if the machine is printing received data. If so,

scan the document after the received data has been

printed.

• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.

• Communication speed slows in scan mode because

of the large amount of memory required to analyze

and reproduce the scanned image. Set your

computer to the ECP printer mode through BIOS

setting. It will help to increase the speed. For

details about how to set BIOS, refer to your

computer User’s Guide.

Condition Suggested solutions

The machine is not

working, there is no

display and the

buttons are not

working.

• Unplug the power cord and plug it in again.

• Ensure that there is power to the electrical outlet.

No dial tone sounds. • Check that the phone line is connected properly.

• Check that the phone socket in the wall is working

by plugging in another phone.

The numbers stored

in memory do not

dial correctly.

Make sure that the numbers are stored in memory

correctly. Print a Phonebook list, referring to

“Phonebook List” on page 7.14.

The document does

not feed into the

machine.

• Make sure that the document is not wrinkled and

you are putting it in correctly. Check that the

document is the right size, not too thick or thin.

• Make sure that the ADF (Automatic Document

Feeder) cover is firmly closed.

Faxes are not

received

automatically.

• Fax mode should be selected.

• Make sure that there is paper in the tray.

• Check to see if the display shows “Memory Full”.

The machine does

not send.

• Make sure that the document is loaded in the ADF

or on the document glass.

• “TX” should show up on the display.

• Check the fax machine you are sending to, to see

if it can receive your fax.

The incoming fax has

blank spaces or is of

poor-quality.

• The fax machine sending you the fax may be

faulty.

• A noisy phone line can cause line errors.

• Check your machine by making a copy.

• The toner cartridge may be empty. Replace the

toner cartridge, referring to “Replacing the Toner

Cartridge” on page 8.4.

Some of the words

on an incoming fax

are stretched.

The fax machine sending you the fax had a

temporary document jam.

There are lines on

the documents you

send.

Check your scanning glass for marks and clean it.

See “Cleaning the Scan Unit” on page 8.3.

The machine dials a

number, but a

connection with the

other fax machine

fails.

The other fax machine may be turned off, out of

paper, or cannot answer incoming calls. Speak with

the other machine operator and ask her/him to sort

out the problem.

Documents are not

stored in memory.

There may not be enough memory to store the

document. If the display shows a “Memory Full”

message, delete from memory any documents you

no longer need and then try again to store the

document.

Blank areas appear

at the bottom of each

page or on other

pages, with a small

strip of text at the

top.

You may have chosen the wrong paper settings in

the user option setting. For details about paper

settings, see “Setting the Paper Size and Type” on

Common Linux Problems

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The machine

doesn’t print.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system.

Open MFP configurator and switch to the Printers tab in

Printers configuration window to look at the list of

available printers. Make sure that your machine is

displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new

printer wizard to set up your device.

• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers

configuration and select your machine on the printers list.

Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its

status contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the

Start

button. After that normal operation of the printer

should be restored. The "stopped" status might be

activated when some problems in printing occurred. For

instance, this could be an attempt to print document

when MFP port is claimed by a scanning application.

• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional

components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same

I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous

access of different “consumer” application to the same

MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one

of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the

device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device

busy” response. You should open MFP ports configuration

and select the port assigned to your printer. In the

Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by

some other application. If this is the case, you should

wait for completion of the current job or should press

Release port button, if you are sure that the present

owner is not functioning properly.

Check if your application has special print option 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 command line parameter in the command item.

The machine

• Check if your machine is attached to your computer.

Make sure that it is connected properly via the USB port

and is turned on.

• Check if the scanner driver for you machine is installed in

your system. Open MFP Configurator, switch to Scanners

configuration, then press

Drivers

scan procedure, and appropriate message box displays.

To identify the source of the problem, you should open

MFP ports configuration and select the port assigned to

your scanner. MFP port's symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds

to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, /

dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at /

dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4

respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected

port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some

other application. If this is the case, you should wait for

completion of the current job or should press Release

port button, if you are sure that the present port's owner

is not functioning properly.

Troubleshooting

9.13

I can’t print

when I

installed both

Linux Print

Package (LPP)

and MFP driver

on the same

machine

simultaneously.

• Since both Linux Printer Package and MFP driver make a

symbolic link to “lpr” printing command, which is

commonly used on Unix clones, it is not recommended to

use both package on the same machine.

• If you still want to use both packages simultaneously,

please install the LPP first.

• If you want to uninstall only one of them, please uninstall

both packages and install that one you want to use again.

• If you don’t want to uninstall MFP driver and install it

again, you may make the necessary symbolic link

yourself. Please, log in as root user and invoke the

following command:

ln -sf /usr/local/bin/samsung/slpr /usr/bin/lpr

Can’t scan via

Gimp Front-

end.

• Check if Gimp Front-end has “Xsane:Device dialog..” on

the “Acquire” menu. If not, you should install Xsane plug-

in for Gimp on the your computer. You can find Xsane

plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or

Gimp home page. For the detail information, refer to the

Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end

application.

If you wish to use other kind of scan application, refer to

the Help for application.

I encounter

error “Cannot

open MFP port

when printing

a document.

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via SLPR

utility, for example) 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 Linux MFP driver locks MFP port while

printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port

locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs.

If this situation occurred, please, try to release the MFP

port.

Paper Specifications

Overview

Your machine accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-

sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content

paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size

paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and

moisture content, are important factors affecting the machine’s

performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet

the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide can cause the

following problems:

•Poor print quality

• Increased paper jams

• Premature wear on the machine.

OTES

• Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide and

still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result

of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and

humidity levels, or other variables over which Samsung has

no control.

• Before purchasing large quantities of paper, insure the paper

meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.

AUTION

: Using paper that does not meet these

specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. These

repairs are not covered by the Samsung warranty or service

agreements.

Guidelines for Using Paper

For the best result, use conventional 20 lb (75 g/m

bond)

paper. Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts,

nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and

curled or bent edges.

If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such

as bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package.

The following problems may cause print quality deviations,

jamming or even damage to the machine:

OTES

• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature

inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.

• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.

• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the

paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use

inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200

°C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).

Paper Specifications

Paper Output Capacity

Paper Storage Environment

Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed

operation.

Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be

at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.

Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses

moisture rapidly.

Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the

moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to

condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners

remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened

and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.

Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to

increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any

excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as

paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This

can cause paper jams.

Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be

used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long

periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which

can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to

large supplies of paper.

Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several

months before use. Opened packages of paper have more

potential for environment damage, especially if they are not

wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.

The paper storage environment should be properly maintained

to ensure optimum performance. The required condition is 20

to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of 45 % to 55

%. The following guidelines should be considered when

evaluating the paper’s storage environment:

• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.

• The air should not be too dry or too humid.

• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to

rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the

machine environment is subject to extremes, unwrap

only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s

operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Envelopes

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary

considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within

a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on

envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When

selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not

exceed 20 lb (75 g/m

bond

) or jamming may occur.

• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat

with less than 0.25 in. (6 mm) curl, and should not

contain air.

• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked or

otherwise damaged.

• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are

compatible with the heat and pressure of the machine.

• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following

size ranges.

OTES

• Load only one sheet of paper at a time to print envelopes.

• You may experience some paper jams when using any media

with a length less than 5.5 in. (140 mm). This may be

caused by paper that has been affected by environmental

conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are

storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to

“Paper Storage Environment” on page 10.5.

Specifications

10.6

Envelopes with Double Side Seams

Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both

ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style

may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the

way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.

Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one

flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with

the heat and pressure in the machine. The extra flaps and strips

might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even

damage the fuser.

Envelope Margins

The following gives typical address margins for a commercial

#10 or DL envelope.

OTES

• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than

0.6 in. (15 mm) from the edges of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams

meet.

Envelope Storage

Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.

Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,

creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during

printing.

Correct

Incorrect

Type of Address Minimum Maximum

Return address 0.6 in. (15 mm) 2 in. (51 mm)

Delivery address 2 in. (51 mm) 3.5 in. (90 mm)

Labels

AUTIONS

• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

recommended for laser printers.

• To prevent serious jams, always load one sheet of paper at a

time to print labels.

• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and

never print on a partial sheet of labels.

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at

180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing

between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces

between the labels, causing serious jams.

• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more

than 5 in. (13 mm) of curl in any direction.

• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or

other indications of separation.

Transparencies

Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand

180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

AUTION

: To avoid damaging the machine, use only

transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

Advanced Printing

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard

disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on

any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of

preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using

preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the

exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To

print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need

to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only

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.

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.

To save the document as an overlay, access printer

properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 7.

Extras

tab, and click

Edit

button in the

Linux

You can use your machine in a Linux environment.

This chapter includes:

• Getting Started

• Installing the MFP Driver

• Using the MFP Configurator

• Configuring Printer Properties

• Printing a Document

• Scanning a Document

Getting Started

The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s MFP driver

package for using your machine with a Linux computer.

Samsung’s MFP driver package contains printer and scanner

drivers, providing the ability to print documents and scan

images. The package also delivers powerful applications for

configuring your machine and further processing of the scanned

documents.

After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver

package allows you to monitor a number of MFP devices via fast

ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. The acquired

documents can then be edited, printed on the same local MFP

or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or

transferred to an external OCR system.

The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible

installation program. You don't need to search for additional

components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all

required packages will be carried onto your system and

installed automatically; this is possible on a wide set of the
