Important Precautions and Safety Information
When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to people:

15. Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may
require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the
machine to normal operation.

Read and understand all instructions.

Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

16. Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC
power and telephone cord for the duration of the lightning storm.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the
literature accompanying the machine.

17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information,
heed the safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating
instruction. If you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or
service representative for assistance.

Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket and/or telephone jack
before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp
cloth for cleaning.

Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall,
causing serious damage.

Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater,
air conditioner or ventilation duct.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power. Do not locate your machine
where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish
performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Use only No.26 AWG or larger telephone line cord.

Laser Safety Statement
The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS
21 CFR, chapter 1 Subchapter J for Class I(1) laser products, and elsewhere
is certified as a Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC
825.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The laser system
and printer are designed so there is never any human access to laser
radiation above a Class I level during normal operation, user maintenance or
prescribed service condition.

WARNING

Never operate or service the printer with the protective cover removed from
Laser/Scanner assembly. The reflected beam, although invisible, can
damage your eyes.

10. Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone or PC interface
cords.
11. Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or cabinet
openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of
fire or shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.
12. Your machine may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the
document for the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type
machine). In this case, replace the cover after placing document on the
scan glass, by holding and moving it down slowly until it seats on its
location.
13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine.
Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock when the
unit is subsequently used.
14. Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, PC and AC wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
•When any part of the power cord, plug or connecting cable is damaged
or frayed.
•If liquid has been spilled into the machine.
•If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
•If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been
followed.
•If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
•If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

Radio Frequency Emissions

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.

FCC Information to the User
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
•This device may not cause harmful interference, and
•This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business
entity or individual.

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 types 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.

WARNING:
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.

You should also know that:
• Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.
• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone
line as your machine, you may experience transmission and reception
problems with all the equipment. It is recommended that no other
equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line with your
machine.
• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we
recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the
telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or

You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric
shock if you plug it into a socket.
IMPORTANT

WARNING:

You must earth this machine.

The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:

• Green and Yellow:

Earth

• Blue:

Neutral

• Brown:

Live

If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug,
do the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter
“E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N”
or colored black.

Paper Handling

Selecting Print Materials

• Selecting Print Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain
paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print
materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine.
See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3. To get the best
possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

• Loading Paper

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Verifying an Output Location

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the tray.

This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print
materials and loading them into your machine.
This chapter includes:

• Weight: 16 ~ 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m2 bond) for the tray with
multi-pages feeding, and 16 ~ 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m2
bond) for the manual tray and tray with single page
feeding.
• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper
affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

CAUTION: Using print materials that dose not conform to the
specifications listed on page 10.2 may cause problems that
may require service. This service is not covered by the
warranty or service agreements.

3.1
Paper Handling

Guidelines for Paper and Special
Materials

To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to
prolonged sunlight.

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
material, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use paper and other materials that conform with
the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on
page 10.3.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn
paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print
quality.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a
texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may
occur.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to
use. 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.
oC

• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15
and 30 oC (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should
be between 10 % and 70 %.
• During storage, you should use a moisture-proof wrap,
such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and
moisture from contaminating your paper.
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the
manual tray or the tray to avoid paper jams.
• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in
laser printers.
• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and
label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they
print out.
• For envelopes:
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well
creased folds.
Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, selfadhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers.
Before loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they
are undamaged and are not stuck together.
Do not feed stamped envelopes.
• For transparencies:
Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the
machine.
Do not leave them in the 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.

3.2
Paper Handling

Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser
printers.
Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or
have any torn edges.
• For labels:
Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing
temperature of 200 oC (392 o F) for 0.1 second.
Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material
between them. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off
during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed
adhesive can also cause damage to machine components.
Do not load a sheet of them through the machine more
than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass
through the machine.
Do not use labels that are separating from the backing
sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled or otherwise damaged.
Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
• For Card Stock or Custom-sized materials:
Postcards, 3.5 x 5.8 in. (89 x 148 mm) cards and other
custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer.
The minimum size is 3 x 5 in. (76 x 127 mm) and the
maximum size is 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm)
Always insert the short-edge into the tray first. If you
want to print in landscape mode, make this selection
through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first
may cause a paper jam.
Do not print on media smaller than 3 in. (76 mm) wide or
5 in. (127 mm) long.
• For preprinted paper:
Letterheads 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
200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.
Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect any printer rollers.
Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moistureproof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
Before you load preprinted paper as forms and
letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During
the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.
• Do not use Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. Use of
these types of paper could result in chemical smells and
could damage your machine.

NOTES:

Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper in the tray while
a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Paper
Type, Input Sources, and Capacities” on page 3.1 for
acceptable paper size and capacity for the tray.

Using the Tray
The tray holds 150 sheets of paper.
Load a stack of paper into the tray and print. For details about
loading paper in the tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.3.

• When you print more than 20 envelopes in succession, print
speed may be reduced.
• If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn the
paper around and try again.
• Manually loading paper and pressing Start to start feeding is
only available with PC printing.
• Because the Manual Feed mode does not print jobs
automatically and continuously, incoming faxes are stored in
memory instead of printing immediately. (Only for SCX4521F/ SCX-4521FR)
• When you press Stop/Clear in the Manual Feed mode, the
print job in progress is canceled.

To use the special material like envelope, label and card,
remove the stack of plain paper and load one sheet of special
material into the tray.

Verifying an Output Location

Using the Manual Tray
When you print a document using your PC and want to check
the print quality after each page is printed, load the paper in
the manual tray and select Manual Feed for Source from the
software application.

The machine has a paper output location which holds 50 sheets
of paper. The output tray collects printed paper face down, in
the order in which the sheets were printed.

Load the print material in the tray with the print side up.

NOTE: Pull the paper output extension not to drop the printed
paper.

Receiving Faxes Using the
DRPD Mode
“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which
enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several
different telephone numbers. The particular number someone
uses to call you is identified by different ringing patterns, which
consist of various combinations of long and short ringing
sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who
answer telephones for many different clients and need to know
which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the
phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax
machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be
answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing
pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax
call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the
EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring
Pattern Detection at any time.

NOTES:
• DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number,
or connect the machine to another telephone line.
• After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to
verify that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have
a call placed to a different number assigned to that same
line to be sure the call is forwarded to the extension
telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT. jack.

Receiving Faxes in the Memory
Since your machine is a multi-tasking device, it can receive
faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you receive a
fax while you are copying or printing, your machine stores
incoming faxes in memory. Then, as soon as you finish copying
or printing, the machine automatically prints the fax.

Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option,
Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line
by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection, you will need another telephone line at your
location, or someone available to dial your fax number from
outside.

Cleaning Your Machine
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below
each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality
problems occur.

CAUTIONS:
• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to
touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner
cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality
problems.

CAUTIONS:

Cleaning the Outside
Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You
can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to
let any water drip onto or into the machine.

Cleaning the Inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can
accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print
quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning
the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems.

Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for
the machine to cool down.

8.2
Maintenance

• 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 underside of the toner cartridge. Use
the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

Remove the manual tray by pulling it out.

With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled
toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge
cavity.

Wipe the surface of the document glass and ADF glass
until it is clean and dry.

machine.

Locate 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.

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 machine warranty
does not cover damage caused by using a refilled
cartridge.

7
8

Reinsert the manual tray, toner cartridge and close the
door.
Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your
machine.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose
it to light for more than a few minutes.

Saving toner

Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible
copies. We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of
each day and during the day, as needed.

To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the control
panel; see “Toner Save Mode” on page 2.11. The button
backlight turns on. Using this feature extends the life of the
toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also
reduces print quality.

Expected Cartridge Life

Cleaning the Scan Unit

Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with
water.
Open the document cover.

8.3
Maintenance

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 3,000
pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine
lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be
different depending on the print density of the page you print.
If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.

Redistributing Toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white
streaks or light printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning
message, “[Toner Low]”. You can temporarily reestablish print
quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In
some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after
you have redistributed the toner.

CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner

cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.

Reinstall the cartridge and close the front door. Make sure
that the cover is securely closed. If it is not firmly closed,
printing error may occur when you print.

Open the front door.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When the display on the control panel shows the warning
message, “[Toner Empty]” the toner cartridge has run out but
continues printing. For the SCX-4521F/ SCX-4521FR, incoming
faxes are saved in memory. At this stage, the toner cartridges
needs to be replaced.

NOTE: You can set the machine to ignore the “[Toner Empty]”
message and to continue printing incoming faxes. See
“Ignoring the Toner Empty Message (Only for SCX-4521F/
SCX-4521FR)” on page 8.5.
Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new toner
cartridge. See “Installing the Toner Cartridge” on page 2.2.

Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer.

Setting the Notify Toner Option
(Only for SCX-4521F/ SCX-4521FR)
If you set the Notify Toner menu option to “On”, your machine
automatically sends a fax to your service company or the dealer
to notify them. The fax number is preset by your dealer when
you bought your machine.

Notification cases are like this:
• When the toner cartridges is low.
• When critical error occured at your machine.
(Error cases: CRU Fuse Error, Low Heat Error, LSU Error.)
• When notification day and notification pages that are
preset by your dealer have passed.

Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See
“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.4.
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

Background
scatter

Suggested solutions
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

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.

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.

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
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. 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.
• Check if 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. This can usually happen while starting
scan procedure, and appropriate message box will be
displayed.

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.

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.

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.

on page 10.5.

10.4
Specifications

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).

Paper Specifications
Acid content

5.5 pH or lower

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:

Caliper

3.0 ~ 7.0 mils (0.094 ~ 0.18 mm)

• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.

Curl in ream

Flat within 0.02 in. (5 mm)

Specifications

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

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 24 lb (90 g/m2 bond) or jamming may occur.

Paper Output Capacity
Output Location
Face-down output tray

• 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.

• 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.

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.

Printers Configuration

Using the Unified Driver
Configurator

Printers configuration has the two tabs: Printers and Classes.

Printers Tab

Unified Linux Driver Configurator is a tool primarily intended for
configuring Printer or MFP devices. Since an MFP device
combines the printer and scanner, the Unified Linux Driver
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.

You can see the current system’s printer configuration by
clicking on the printer icon button on the left side of the Unified
Driver Configurator window.
Switches to Printer
configuration.

After installing the Unified Linux driver, the Unified Linux Driver
Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.

Opening the Unified Driver
Configurator

Double-click Unified Driver Configurator on the
desktop.
You can also click the Startup Menu icon and select
Samsung Unified Driver and then Unified Driver
Configurator.
Press each button on the Modules pane to switch to the
corresponding configuration window.

Shows all of the
installed printer.

Shows the status,
model name and
URI of your printer.

You can use the following printer control buttons:
• Refresh: renews the available printers list.
• Add Printer: allows you to add a new printer.
• Remove Printer: removes the selected printer.

Printers Configuration button

• Set as Default: sets the current printer as a default
printer.

Scanners Configuration button

• Stop/Start: stops/starts the printer.
• Test: allows you to print a test page to check if the
machine is working properly.

Ports Configuration button

• Properties: allows you to view and change the printer
properties. For details, see page 27.

You can use the onscreen help by clicking Help.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners

Scanners Configuration
In this window, you can monitor the activity of scanner devices,
view a list of installed Samsung MFP devices, change device
properties, and scan images.

Switches to
Scanners
configuration.

Shows all of the
installed 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 Unified Linux 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 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 device onto your system, it is
strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an
Unified Driver 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.

Shows the vendor,
model name and type
of your scanner.

• Properties... : Allows you to change the scan properties
and scan a document. See page 28.
• Drivers... : Allows you to monitor the activity of the scan drivers.
