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

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

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.
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.
• 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.
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.

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.
Suggested solutions
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.

“Paper Specifications” on page 10.3.
If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:
• The toner cartridge may be installed improperly.
Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the
toner cartridge and install a new one. See “Replacing
the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.4.
• If the problem persists, the machine may require
repair. Contact a service representative.
Condition
Suggested solutions
Copies are too light or
too dark.
Use the Darkness button to darken or lighten the
background of the copies.
Smears, lines, marks,
or spots appears on
copies.
• If defects are on the original, press the
Darkness button to lighten the background of
your copies.
• If no defects are on the original, clean the scan
unit. See “Cleaning the Scan Unit” on page 8.3.
Copy image is skewed.
• Ensure that the original is face down on the
document glass or face up in the ADF (Automatic
Document Feeder).
• Check that the copy paper is loaded correctly.
Blank copies print out.
Ensure that the original is face down on the
document glass or face up in the ADF.
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/m2 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.
If the printed paper is curled or paper does not feed into
the machine:
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try
rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

Troubleshooting
Scanning Problems
Condition
The scanner does
not work.
The unit scans very
slowly.
Suggested solutions
• 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.
• 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.

dial correctly.
Make sure that the numbers are stored in memory
correctly. Print a Phonebook list, referring to
“Phonebook List” on page 7.14.
Suggested solutions
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

Troubleshooting
Common Linux Problems
Problem
The machine
doesn’t print.
Possible Cause and Solution
• 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.
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
The machine
doesn’t appear
on the
scanners list.
• 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. Make sure that driver
with a name corresponding to your machine's name is
listed in the window.
• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional
components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same

of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the
device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device
busy” response. This can usually happen while starting
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.
The machine
doesn’t scan.
• Check if a document is loaded into the machine.
• Check if your machine is connected to the computer.
Make sure if it is connected properly if I/O error is
reported while scanning.

Troubleshooting
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
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 Frontend.
• Check if Gimp Front-end has “Xsane:Device dialog..” on
the “Acquire” menu. If not, you should install Xsane plugin 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
device file”
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.

NOTES:
• 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).

**.Capacity may differ depending on media weight, thickness, and
environmental conditions.
NOTE: You may experience jams when using print materials
with a length of less than 5 in. (127 mm). For optimum
performance, ensure that you are storing and handling the
paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment”
on page 10.5.

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:

• 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/m2 bond) or jamming may occur.
Paper Output Capacity
Output Location
Face-down output tray
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat
with less than 0.25 in. (6 mm) curl, and should not
contain air.
Capacity
50 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m2 bond) paper
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked or
otherwise damaged.
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.
10.5
Specifications
• 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.
Minimum
3 x 5 in.
(76 x 127 mm)
Maximum
8.5 x 14 in.
(216 x 356 mm)
NOTES:
• 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.
Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Labels
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.
Correct
CAUTIONS:
• 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.
Incorrect
• 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.
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.
The following gives typical address margins for a commercial
#10 or DL envelope.
Minimum
Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand
180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the machine, use only
transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

3.5 in. (90 mm)
NOTES:
• 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.

What is an Overlay?
Dear ABC
Regards
WORLD BEST
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.
WORLD BEST
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.
Click the Extras tab, and click Edit button in the Overlay
section.
Click OK or Yes to finish creating.
The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your
computer hard disk drive.
NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as the
documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay
with a watermark.

Getting Started
NOTES:
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
most popular Linux clones.
26
Using Your Printer in Linux
• It’s also necessary to claim swap partition of 300 MB or
larger for working with large scanned images.
• The Linux scanner driver supports the optical resolution at
maximum. Please refer to the scanner and copy section of
Specifications in your Printer User’s Guide.
• You can check your printer name in the supplied CDROM.

package windows applications, such as MFP Configurator
or Image Editor.
Uninstalling the MFP Driver
Using the MFP Configurator
When the Administrator Login window appears, type in
root in the Login field and enter the system password.
MFP Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring
MFP devices. Since an MFP device combines the printer and
scanner, the MFP Configurator provides options logically
grouped for printer and scanner functions. There is also a
special MFP port option responsible for the regulation of access
to an MFP printer and scanner via a single I/O channel.
NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the
printer software. If you are not a super user, ask your system
administrator.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via the
parallel port or USB port. Since the MFP device contains more
than one device (printer and scanner), it is necessary to
organize proper access of “consumer” applications to these
devices via the single I/O port.
The Samsung MFP driver package provides an appropriate port
sharing mechanism that is used by Samsung printer and
scanner drivers. The drivers address their devices via so-called
MFP ports. The current status of any MFP port can be viewed
via the MFP Ports Configuration. The port sharing prevents you
from accessing one functional block of the MFP device, while
another block is in use.
When you install a new MFP printer onto your system, it is
strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an
MFP Configurator. In this case you will be asked to choose I/O
port for the new device. This choice will provide the most
suitable configuration for MFP’s functionality. For MFP scanners
I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so
proper settings are applied by default.
30
Using Your Printer in Linux
The following five tabs display at the top of the window:
•General: allows you to change the printer location and
name. The name entered in this tab displays on the
printer list in Printers configuration.
•Connection: allows you to view or select another port. If
you change the printer port from USB to parallel or vice
versa while in use, you must re-configure the printer port
in this tab.
