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, please 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.
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:
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. Please 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.

Using toner save mode
Toner save mode allows the printer to use less toner on each page.
Activating this mode extends the life of your toner cartridge and reduces
your cost per page beyond what one would experience in the normal
mode, but it reduces print quality. This setting is not available with the
1200 dpi setting.
There are two ways to enable this mode:
Using the control panel button
Press Toner Save on the control panel. The printer must be in Standby
mode; the Status LED lights green and Ready is shown on the display, if
you use the ML-3051N or ML-3051ND.
• If the button backlight is on, the mode is enabled and the printer uses
less toner to print a page.
• If the button backlight is off, the mode is disabled and the printer prints
in normal mode.
From the software application
You can set toner save mode from the printer properties window on your
printer driver. See the Software Section.

Introduction
Once you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45
Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users.
You need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your
network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods:
Via network administration programs
You can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage the
printer via the following programs that came with your printer:
• SyncThru™ Web Admin Service: A web-based printer management
solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin
Service provides you with an efficient way of managing network
devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network
printers from any site with corporate intranet access.
• SyncThru™ Web Service: A web server embedded to your network
print server, which allows you to configure the network parameters

5 Loading print media
This chapter will help you understand types of paper you can use with
your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays
for the best print quality.
This chapter includes:
• Selecting print media
• Loading paper
• Selecting an output location
Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the
guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following
problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the printer.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content,
are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate
for your project.
• Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper
adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:
- 16 to 24 lb bond (60 to 90 g/m2) for the tray 1 and optional tray 2
- 16 to 43 lb bond (60 to 163 g/m2) for the multi-purpose tray
- 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2) for the duplex printing (ML-3051ND only)
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Notes
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this
section 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 print media, ensure that
it meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
Caution
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not
covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Loading print media>
Guidelines for selecting and storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials,
keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on
page 5.3.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper
specifically recommended for use in laser printers.
• Avoid using the following media types:
- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too
smooth or too rough
- Erasable bond paper
- Multi-paged paper
- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.
• Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical
smells, and damage to your printer.
• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.
Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place
heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or
unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can
cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15o C and 30o C
(59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and
70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic
container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating
your paper.
• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multi-
purpose tray to avoid paper jams.
• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from
sticking together, remove them as they print out.
Guidelines for special print media
Media type Guidelines
Envelopes
• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon
the quality of the envelopes. When selecting
envelopes, consider the following factors:
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper
should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming
may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes
should lie flat with less than 6 mm
(0.25 inches) 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 printer during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp
and well creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps,
windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or
other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope
extends all the way to the corner of the
envelope.
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with
more than one flap that folds over to seal must
use adhesives compatible with the printer’s
fusing temperature of 200° C (392° F) for
0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might
cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may
even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no
closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges
of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the
envelope’s seams meet.
Acceptable
Unacceptable
5.4 <
Loading print media>
Transparencies
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only
transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
• Transparencies used in the printer must be able
to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing
temperature.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them
from the printer.
• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long
periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate
on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints,
handle them carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed
transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled,
curled, or have any torn edges.
Labels
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels
designed for use in laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following
factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be
stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing
temperature.
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed
backing between them. Labels can peel off
sheets that have spaces between the labels,
causing serious jams.
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with
no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any
direction.
- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,
bubbles, or other indications of separation.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive
material between labels. Exposed areas can
cause labels to peel off during printing, which
can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can
also cause damage to printer components.
• Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer
more than once. The adhesive backing is
designed for only a single pass through the
printer.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the
backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
otherwise damaged.
Card stock or
custom-sized
materials
• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm
(3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least
6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of
the material.
Media type Guidelines
Loading paper
Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray
1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb plain paper.
You can purchase an optional tray (tray 2) and attach it below the
standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. For order
information for an optional tray, see page 7.1.
The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the optional tray
2 shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is
empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.
Preprinted
paper
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the
printer’s fusing temperature of 205° C (400° F)
for 0.1 second.
• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and
should not adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a
moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms
and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is
dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come
off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Using the tray 1 or the optional tray 2
Use the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in the
tray 1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 paper.
You can purchase an optional tray 2 and attach it below the tray 1 to load
an additional 250 sheets of paper.
To load paper, pull open the tray and load paper with the side to be
printed on face down.
You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top
edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the tray.
Notes
• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet
at a time in the multi-purpose tray.
• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side
should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you
experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around.
Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.
Changing the size of the paper in the tray 1
To load longer sizes of paper, such as Legal-sized paper, you need to

Loading print media>
Notes
• Do not push the paper width guide far enough to cause the
material to warp.
• If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause paper
jams.
Using the multi-purpose tray
The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material,
such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is
useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.
To load paper in the multi-purpose tray:
1Open the multi-purpose tray and unfold the multi-purpose tray
extension, as shown.
2If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to
separate the pages before loading.
For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the
print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
3Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following
loading guidelines:
• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left
side.
• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip
entering the printer first.
• Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the printer first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the
printer.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer
first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an
uncurled edge toward the printer.
Note
Make sure that you have not loaded too much print material.
The print material buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or
if you push it in too far.
Caution
When you print on special material like envelopes, labels,
transparencies, or cards, the output location should be the
rear cover. Open the rear cover to use it. See page 5.8.
4Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust
them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper
will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.
5.7 <
Loading print media>
5When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the
software application. See the Software Section.
For information about setting the paper source and type on the
control panel, see page 2.3.
6After printing, fold the multi-purpose tray extension and close the
multi-purpose tray.
Tips on using the multi-purpose tray
• Load only one size of print media at a time in the multi-purpose tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in
the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other types of print media.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the
multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.1 to avoid paper
jams and print quality problems.
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading
them into the multi-purpose tray.
• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) sized media on
the multi-purpose tray, open the rear cover for straight paper path to
avoid paper jams.
• Make sure to open the rear cover when you print on transparencies. If
not, they may tear while exiting the printer.
Using manual feed mode
You can manually load a sheet of print material in the multi-purpose tray
if you select Manual Feed in the Source option from the Paper tab when
you change print settings to print a document. See the Software
Section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check
the print quality after each page is printed.
This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading
in the multi-purpose tray, except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in the
tray, send print data to print the first page, and press Stop (if you use the
ML-3050) or OK (if you use the ML-3051N or ML-3051ND) on the control
panel to print each following page.
1Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
2Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust
them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper
will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.
3When you print a document, set the paper source to Manual Feed
and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software
application. See the Software Section.
4Print a document.
The display shows a message prompting you to load paper and
press Stop (if you use the ML-3050) or OK (if you use the ML-
3051N or ML-3051ND).
5Press Stop or OK.
The printer picks up the print material and prints. After one page is
printed, the message appears again.
Note
If you do not press the button, after a pause the printer will
automatically pick the print material.
6Insert the next sheet into the multi-purpose tray and press Stop or
OK.
Repeat this step for every page to be printed.
5.8 <
Loading print media>
Selecting an output location
The printer has two output locations; the rear cover (face up) and the
output tray (face down).
The printer sends output to the output tray by default. To use the output
tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed.
Notes
• If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as
excessive curl, try printing to the rear cover.
• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while
the printer is printing.
Printing to the output tray (Face down)
The output tray collects paper face down, in the order in which the sheets
were printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.
1
1rear cover
2output tray
2
Printing to the rear cover (Face up)
Using the rear cover, paper comes out of the printer face up.
Printing from the multi-purpose tray to the rear cover provides a straight
paper path. Using the rear cover might improve the output quality with
special print media.
To use the rear cover, open it by pulling down.
Caution
The fuser area inside the rear cover of your printer becomes
very hot when in use. Take care when you access this area.

substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
Cleaning the inside of the printer
There are two methods to clean the inside of the printer:
• Clean the inside manually.
• Print a cleaning sheet, which can be done from the control panel.
Cleaning the Inside of the printer manually
1Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer
to cool down.
2Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a
clean flat surface.
Cautions
• 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 surface underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.
3With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from
the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.
Caution
While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch
the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge. Oil
from your fingers can cause print scan quality problems.

4Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge
compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if dirt turns the
white cotton black.
5Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the front cover.
6Plug in the power cord and turn the printer on.
Printing a cleaning sheet
If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts, you can
clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by your printer.
You can print:
• OPC Cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC drum of the toner cartridge.
• Fuser Cleaning sheet: cleans the fuser unit inside the printer.
In the ML-3050, press and hold down Stop for about 10 seconds to print
a OPC cleaning sheet.
In the ML-3051N and ML-3051ND, this process will produce a page with
toner debris, which should be discarded.
1Make sure that the printer is turned on with paper loaded in the tray.
2Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the
display and press OK.
3Press the Scroll buttons until
Maintenance
appears and press OK.
4When Clean Drum appears, press OK.
Or, press the Scroll buttons until Clean Drum or Clean Fuser
appears and press OK.
Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the tray
and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner particles on it.
Maintaining the toner cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines
in mind:
• Do not remove the
toner cartridge
from its package until ready for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minute.
Expected cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print
jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner
cartridge lasts an average of either 8,000 or 4,000 pages. (The original
toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 4,000
pages.) The actual number may also be different depending on the print
density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be
affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.
Saving Toner
To save toner, press Toner Save on the control panel. The button
backlight turns on.
Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduce
your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.
Checking the remaining toner
(ML-3051N, ML-3051ND only)
You can check the level of toner left in the cartridge.
If you are having print quality problems, this can help you determine if
the problem is caused by low toner.
1Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the
display press OK.
2Press the Scroll buttons until
Maintenance
appears and press OK.

Press the
Scroll
buttons until

Redistributing toner cartridge
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs.
• Toner Low appears on the display. (ML-3051N, ML-3051ND only)
• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling
you that the toner level is low.
• The Status LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish 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.
1Open the front cover.
2Pull the toner cartridge out.
Cautions
• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may
be hot.
• 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 surface underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.
3Thoroughly roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner
evenly inside the cartridge.
Note
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.
4Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the
cartridge into the opening in the printer.
5Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves
within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position
until it locks into place completely.
6Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
Replacing the toner cartridge
When the toner cartridge is completely empty:
• Toner Low Replace Toner appears on the display. (ML-3051N, ML-
3051ND only)
• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling
you that the toner cartridge is empty.
• The Status LED lights red.
At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. For order
information for toner cartridges, see page 7.1.
1Open the front cover.
2Pull the toner cartridge out.
8.4 <
Maintenance>
3Remove the new toner cartridge from its bag.
Caution
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.
4Remove the packing tape and roll the cartridge 5 or 6 items to
distribute the toner.
Thoroughly roll the cartridge to assure maximum copies per
cartridge. Save the box and the plastic bag for shipping.
Cautions
• 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.
• 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 surface underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.
5Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the
cartridge into the opening in the printer.
6Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves
within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position
until it locks into place completely.
7Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
Clearing the Toner Low Replace Toner message
When the Toner Low Replace Toner message appears you can
configure not to see this message again not to disturb you.
1Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the
display and press OK.
2Press the Scroll buttons until Maintenance appears and press OK.
3Press the Scroll buttons until CLR Empty Msg. appears and press

written to the memory of the toner cartridge, and this menu will
be disappeared from the Maintenance menu.
Maintenance parts
To avoid print quality and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts
and to maintain your printer in top working condition the following items
will need to be replaced at the specified number of pages or when the
life span of each item has expired.

Solving print quality problems
Dirt inside of the printer or improper paper loading may reduce print
quality. See the table below to troubleshoot problems.
Condition Suggested solutions
Light or faded
print
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
page 8.3. If this does not improve 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 page 5.3.
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution
setting is too light or toner save mode is on.
Adjust the print resolution and toner save mode
in the printer properties. See the Software
Section.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects
may indicate that the printer needs cleaning.
See page 8.1.
• The surface of LSU may be dirty. Clean the
LSU. See page 8.1.
Toner spots • The paper may not meet specifications (for
example, the paper is too moist or too rough).
See page 5.3.
• The transfer roller or paper path may be dirty.
See page 8.1.
Dropouts
If generally rounded, faded areas 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 page 5.3.
• 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 the next page.
• If these steps do not correct the problems,
contact a service representative.

Vertical lines
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The drum inside the toner cartridge has
probably been scratched. Install a new toner
cartridge.
Gray
background
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the
problem.
• Change to lighter weight pages. See page 5.3.
• Check the printer’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 page 8.3.
Toner smear • Clean the inside of the printer. See page 8.1.
• Check the type and quality. See page 5.2.
• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new
one. See page 8.3.
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 page 8.2. After the printout, if
you still have the same problems, install a new
toner cartridge. See page 8.3.
• Parts of the printer 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.

Background
scatter
Background scatter results from bits of toner
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
via the printer properties window.
Misformed
characters
• If characters are improperly formed and
producing hollowed images, the paper stock
may be too slick. Try a different paper. See
page 5.3.
• If characters are improperly formed and
producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may
need service. Verify that it also occurs on a
demo page (see page 2.6). For service, contact
a service representative.
Page skew • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. See
page 5.2.
• 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 type and quality. Both high
temperature and humidity can cause paper
curl. See page 5.2.
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try
rotating the paper 180° in the tray.
• Try printing to the rear cover (face-up).
Wrinkles or
creases • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. See
page 5.2.
• Open the rear cover and try printing to the rear
cover (face-up).
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try
rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

Common Linux problems
Common Macintosh problems
Condition Suggested solutions
The print doesn’t
print.
• Check if the printer driver is installed in your
system. Open Unified Driver 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.
I encounter error
“Unable to open
MFP port device
file!” when printing
a document.
Please avoid changing print job parameters
(via LPR GUI, 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 Unified Linux Driver
locks 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 port.

•
Use Printer Fonts
: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the
printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident
fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the
fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes
time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time.
When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts
used in your document to those stored in its memory. If,
however, you use fonts in your document that are very different
from those resident in the printer, your printed output will
appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL
printer driver.

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.

AUTION
:
If you have selected duplex printing and
then try to print multiple copies of a document, the
printer may not print the document in the way you
want. In case of "Collated copy" , if your document has
odd pages, the last page of the first copy and the first
page of the next copy will be printed on the front and
back of one sheet. In case of "Uncollated copy", the
same page will be printed on the front and back of one
sheet. Therefore, if you need multiple copies of a
document and you want those copies on both sides of
the paper, you must print them one at a time, as
separate print jobs
