Labels

•

Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The
adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the machine.

To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
printers.

•

Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled,
bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

Card stock/ Custom-sized paper

•

When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-

Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature
about 170°C (338°F).

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: Must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.

Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.

•

In the software application, set the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.

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 machine
components.

Preprinted paper

Setting the paper size and type
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn
the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.

After loading paper in the paper tray, set the paper size and type using the
control panel buttons.

The paper setting in the machine and driver should match to print without
a paper mismatch error.
• You change the paper setting set in the machine from Samsung Easy
Printer Manager program or SyncThru™ Web Service.

b. Image counts based on one color on each page. If you print documents in full color (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black), the life of this item will be reduced by 25%.

Depending on the options, percentage of image area and job mode used, the toner cartridge’s lifespan may differ.

When purchasing new toner cartridges or other supplies, these must be purchased in the same country as the machine you are using. Otherwise, new toner
cartridges or other supplies will be incompatible with your machine due to different configurations of toner cartridges and other supplies according to the specific
country conditions.

• The toner cartridge included in the printer/all-in-one product you purchased is not available for sale and is not guaranteed to be compatible with any
other printer.
• Samsung does not recommend using non-genuine Samsung toner cartridge such as refilled or remanufactured toner. Samsung cannot guarantee non-genuine
Samsung toner cartridge's quality. Service or repair required as a result of using non-genuine Samsung toner cartridges will not be covered under the machine’s
warranty.

3. Maintenance

Available maintenance parts
You need to replace the maintenance parts at specific intervals to keep the machine in the best condition and avoid print quality and paper feeding problems
resulting from the worn-out parts. Maintenance parts are mostly rollers, belts and pads. However, the replacement period and parts may differ depending on the
model. Replacing maintenance parts can be performed only by an authorized service provider, dealer, or the retailer where you bought the machine. To purchase
maintenance parts, contact the retailer where you bought the machine. The replacement period for the maintenance parts is informed by the "Samsung Printer
Status" program. Or on the UI (User Interface) if your machine supports a display screen. The replacement period varies based on the operating system used,
computing performance, application software, connecting method, paper type, paper size, and job complexity.

3. Maintenance

Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature
and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these recommendations to
ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new
Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used.
This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The toner
cartridge should remain in its original and unopened package until installation
– if original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the cartridge
with paper and store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf
and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is removed
from the printer, follow the instructions below to store the toner cartridge
properly.
•

Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.

•

Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it
were installed in the machine.

•

Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
-

Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).

Humidity range less than 20% or greater than 80%.

An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.

Direct sunlight or room light.

Dusty places.

A car for a long period of time.

An environment where corrosive gases are present.

An environment with salty air.

Handling instructions
•

Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.

Toner cartridge usage
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of non-Samsung
brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand, refilled, or
remanufactured toner cartridges.

Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused
by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner
cartridges.

Estimated cartridge life
Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the
amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield may vary
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or
media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the
toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more often.

3. Maintenance

Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
•

White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density varies from side to side.

•

The Status LED blinks orange. The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on the display.

•

The computer’s Samsung Printing Status program window appears on the computer telling you which color cartridge is low on toner (see "Using Samsung
Printer Status" on page 255).

If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still
occur even after you have redistributed the toner.

Illustrations on this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on its options or models. Check your machine type (see "Front view" on page 21).

• Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.
• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
• When opening a scan unit, hold the document feeder and scan unit together.
• Printing even after the toner empty status can cause serious damage to your machine.

This chapter gives helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error. If your machine
has a display screen, check the message on the display screen first to solve the error.
If you cannot find a solution to your problem in this chapter, refer to the Troubleshooting
chapter in the Advanced Guide (see "Troubleshooting" on page 264).
If you cannot find a solution in the User's Guide or the problem persists, call for service.

Tips for avoiding paper jams
By selecting the correct medias, most paper jams can be avoided. To avoid paper jams, refer to the following guidelines:
•

Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (see "Tray overview" on page 39).

•

Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.

•

Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.

•

Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.

•

Do not mix papers in a tray.

•

Use only recommended print media (see "Print media specifications" on page 113).

•

Perforated or embossed paper does not separate easily. Flex the sheets back and forth to loosen them, and fan them.
Feed single paper from tray if there are multi-feeds or paper jams.

•

Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain long paper is recommended.

•

Do not use rough-edged paper.

4. Troubleshooting

Clearing paper jams
When an original document jams in the document feeder, a warning message appears on the display.

To avoid tearing the document, remove the jammed document slowly and carefully.

To prevent document jams, use the scanner glass for thick, thin or mixed paper- originals.

3 telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity
or individual.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment operations or procedures where such action is reasonably required
in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and
regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render
any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company
communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of such terminal
equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer
shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity
to maintain uninterrupted service

Ringer Equivalence Number
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine
may be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some
instances you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed
on the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have
“overloaded” the line. Installing several s of equipment on the same telephone
line may result in problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially
ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of
the equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in order to assure
proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may
not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating
properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may
cause harm to the telephone network.
The equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements
adopted by the ACTA. On the rear of this equipment is a label that contains,
among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX.
If requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not
expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm
to the telephone network, the telephone company should notify the
customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is
impractical, the company may temporarily cease service, providing that
they:
a promptly notify the customer.
b give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.
c inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal
Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC
Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

For a Static network environment

•

Check the wireless reception around the machine. If the router is far from
the machine or there is an obstacle, you might have difficulty receiving the
signal.

•

Cycle the power for the access point (or wireless router), machine, and
computer. Sometimes cycling the power can recover network
communication.

•

Check whether firewall software (V3 or Norton) is blocking the
communication.

The machine uses the static address when the computer is configured
to static address.
For example,
If the computer’s network information is as shown below:
▪

IP address: 169.254.133.42

▪

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0

Then the machine’s network information should be as below:
▪

IP address: 169.254.133.43

▪

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.)

▪

Gateway: 169.254.133.1

Other problems

If the computer and the machine are connected on the same network and it
cannot be found when searching, firewall software might be blocking the
communication. Refer to the user's guide for the software to turn it off and
try searching for the machine again.
•

Check whether the machine's IP address is allocated correctly. You can
check the IP address by printing the network configuration report.

•

Check whether the access point (or wireless router) has a configured
security (password). If it has a password, refer to the access point (or wireless
router) administrator.

•

Check the machine's IP address. Reinstall the machine driver and change the
settings to connect to the machine on the network. Due to the
characteristics of DHCP, the allocated IP address could change if the
machine is not used for a long time or if the access point has been reset.

If problems occur while using the machine on a network, check the following:

For information on the access point (or wireless router), refer to its own
user's guide.

•

You cannot enable wired and wireless networks at the same time.

•

Your computer, access point (or wireless router), or machine may not be
turned on.

Register the product's MAC address when you confogure the DHCP server
on the access point (or wireless router). Then you can always use the IP
address that is set with the MAC address. You can identify the Mac address
of your machine by printing a network configuration report (see "Printing a

Overlaya

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 letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing
exactly the 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 machine: just print the letterhead overlay on your document.
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

• The overlay document size must be the same as the document you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a
watermark.
• The resolution of the overlay document must be the same as that of the document you will print with the overlay.
