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.
To change the paper setting set in the machine, from the Samsung Easy
Printer Manager select

Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).

•

Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely
affect machine rollers.

•

Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry.
During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing
print quality.

information ask your internet service provider.
• We recommend using traditional analog phone services (PSTN: Public
Switched Telephone Network) when connecting telephone lines to use
a fax machine. If you use other Internet services (DSL, ISDN, VolP), you can
improve the connection quality by using the Micro-filter. The Micro-filter
eliminates unnecessary noise signals and improves connection quality or
Internet quality. Since the DSL Micro-filter is not provided with the
machine, contact your Internet service provider for use on DSL Microfilter.

3 DSL modem / Telephone line
(see "Rear view" on page 22).

Before you send or receive a fax, you need to connect the supplied line cord to
your telephone wall jack (see "Rear view" on page 22). Refer to the Quick
Installation Guide how to make a connection. The method of making a
telephone connection is different from one country to another.

Sending a fax

When you place the originals, you can use either the document feeder or
the scanner glass. If the originals are placed on both the document feeder

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 red. 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 271).

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 20).

• 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.

When the life span of the waste toner container has expired, waste toner container-related message appears on the screen display of the control panel, indicating
the waste toner container needs to be replaced. Check the waste toner container for your machine (see "Available supplies" on page 76). For information about
installing the waste toner container, refer to the waste toner container installation guide included on the package.

• Toner particles can be released inside the machine but it does not mean the machine is damaged. Contact a service representative when print quality problems
occur.
• When you pull out the waste toner container out of the machine, move the container carefully not to drop it from your hands.
• Make sure that you lay the waste toner container on a flat surface so that the toner does not spill.

Do not tilt or turn over the container.

Low power, Radio LAN 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, contact your local Radio Approval agency for
requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be
allowed.

No limitations at this time

5. Appendix

134

Regulatory information
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. 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.

to the factory defaults and try again using Clear Setting.

Wireless network name and network password
Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up,
a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Password are
created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information
before proceeding with the machine installation.

Getting started

Understanding your network type
Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the
machine at a time.
Infrastructure mode
This is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs
(Small Office/ Home Office). This mode uses an access point to
communicate with the wireless machine.
Ad hoc mode
This mode does not use an access point. The wireless
computer and wireless machine communicate directly.

on how to set your machine for the best print quality.
Before you set the altitude value, determine the altitude where you are.
•

Normal: 0-1,000 m(3,280 ft)

•

High1: 1,000 m(3,280 ft)-2,000 m(6,561 ft)

•

High2: 2,000 m(6,561 ft)-3,000 m(9,842 ft)

•

High3: 3,000 m(9,842 ft)-4,000 m(13,123 ft)

You can set the altitude value from Device Settings in Samsung Easy Printer
Manager program.

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 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.
