Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)

Important

The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp

plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you

must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover.

If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have another fuse

cover.

Please contact the people from you purchased the machine.

The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be

suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13

amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove

the moulded plug.

Warning

If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.

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.

Selecting print media

4 Loading 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:

This chapter will help you understand the 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:

• Poor print quality

•

Selecting print media

• Increased paper jams

Loading paper

• Premature wear output trayn the machine.

Printing with a prescribed paper size

Knowing an output location

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content,

are important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the

output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are

described later in this section.

• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate

for your project.

• 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.

Guidelines for special print media

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep

these guidelines in mind:

Type

Guidelines

Envelopes

• Successful printing on envelopes depends

upon the quality of the envelopes. When

selecting envelopes, consider the following

factors:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on

the next column.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause

paper jams and poor print quality.

- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper

should not exceed 90 g/m²(24 lb) or jamming

may occur.

• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper

specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• Avoid using the following print media types:

- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes

should lie flat with less than 6 mm

(0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.

- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too

smooth or too rough

- Erasable bond paper

- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,

nicked, or otherwise damaged.

- Multi-paged paper

- 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.

- 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.

• 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.

• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 C and 30 C

(59 F to 86 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 print media types one sheet at a time through the

manual tray to avoid paper jams.

Acceptable

• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from

sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Caution

Unacceptable

• If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface of the top

cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.

• 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 for 0.1 second. Check your

machine’s specification to view the fusing

temperature, see page 11.1. 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.

Type

Guidelines

Type

Guidelines

Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser

printers.

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 for 0.1 second.

Check your machine’s specification to view the

fusing temperature, see page 11.1.

• 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.

• Transparencies used in the printer must be able

to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.

Check your machine’s specification to view the

fusing temperature, see page 11.1.

• 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.

Loading paper

Labels

• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels

designed for use in laser printers.

• When selecting labels, consider the following

factors:

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.

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

stable at 180° C (356° F), the printer’s fusing

temperature.

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 7.1.

- Arrangement: Only use labels with no

exposed backing between them. Labels can

peel off sheets that have spaces between the

labels, causing serious jams.

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.

- 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.

Full ▲

▲ Empty

• 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 print 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.

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/m 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.

After inserting paper into the tray, adjust the support guide so that it

lightly touches the paper stack.

Notes

• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet

at a time in the manual feed.

• 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

adjust the paper guides to extend the paper tray.

Squeeze the paper width guides, as shown and slide them to the

stack of paper until it lightly touches the side of the stack.

Cleaning the printer

Maintaining the toner cartridge

Printing a configuration page

Maintenance parts

With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from

the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

Cleaning the printer

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can

accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality

problems, such as toner specks or smearing.

Caution

• Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials

containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong

substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

• If your machine or its around is contaminated with toner, we

recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water to

clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and

might be harmful for you.

Caution

• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to reach

too far into the printer. The fuser area may be hot.

Cleaning the outside of the printer

Gently swab the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the

cartridge and check for dirt or dust.

Clean the cabinet of the printer 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 printer.

Cleaning the inside of the printer

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer

to cool down.

Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a

clean flat surface.

Note

• The long strip of glass is hard to locate.

Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the

cartridge into the opening in the printer.

Tabs 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.

Handling instructions

• Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge.

• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.

• Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction;

this can cause internal damage and toner spillage.

Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge

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.

Caution

• Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the

machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or

non-Samsung brand toner cartridge.

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-out number

may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on,

operating environment, printing interval, media type, and/or media size.

For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner

is high and you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.

Plug in the power cord and turn the printer on.

Maintaining the toner cartridge

Caution

• Samsung does not recommend using non-genuine Samsung

toner cartridge such as refilled or remanufactured. 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 warranty.

Toner cartridge storage

Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light,

temperature, and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the

recommendations to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality,

and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.

evenly; do not jerk the paper. If the paper tears, ensure that all

fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a jam will occur

again.

In the optional tray 2

Tips for avoiding paper jams

By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided.

When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined on 9.1.

• Follow the procedures on 4.5. Ensure that the adjustable guides are

positioned correctly.

• Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the

paper capacity mark on the inside wall of the tray.

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

• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.

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

• Do not mix paper types in a tray.

• Use only recommended print media. See 4.1

• Ensure that the recommended print side of print media is facing down

in the tray, or facing up in the manual tray.

• If paper jams occur frequently when you print on A5-sized paper:

Vertical lines

If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

Background

scatter

Background scatter results from bits of toner

distributed on the printed page.

• The drum inside the toner cartridge has

probably been scratched. Install a new toner

cartridge. See page 8.3.

• 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.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU part inside the printer

may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See page 8.1.

Gray

background

If the amount of background shading becomes

unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the

problem.

• Change to lighter weight pages. See page 4.3.

• Check the printer’s environment; low humidity

(lower than 20% RH) or high humidity (higher

than 80% RH) conditions can increase the

amount of background shading.

Misformed

characters

• If characters are improperly formed and

producing hollowed images, the paper stock

may be too slick. Try a different paper. See

page 4.3.

• 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 paper type and quality. See page

Page skew

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See page

• Ensure that the paper is loaded correctly and

the adjustable guides are not too tight or too

loose against the paper stack.

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, 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.

Curl or wave

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. Both high

temperature and humidity can cause paper

curl. See page 4.2.

• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also

Precautions to take when installing accessories

Installing a memory module

Precautions to take when installing accessories

Disconnect the power cord

Never remove the control board cover while the power is turned on.

Take out a new memory module from the plastic bag.

To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the

power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external

accessories.

Holding the memory module by the edges, align the memory

module on the slot at about a 30-degree tilt. Make sure that the

notches of the module and the grooves on the slot fit each other.

Discharge static electricity

The control board and internal accessories (network interface card or

memory module) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or

removing any internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your

body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any

device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk around before

finishing the installation, repeat this procedure to discharge any static

electricity again.

Installing a memory module

Note

The notches and grooves illustrated above may not match

those on an actual memory module and its slot.

Your machine has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Use this

memory module slot to install additional memory.

Press the memory module into the slot with care until you hear a

'click'.

When you are expanding the memory capacity, you can add a memory

module to the vacant memory slot. Your machine has 32 MB memory,

and you can add a 128 MB memory module.

Order information is provided for optional memory module. (See

"Accessory" on page 7.1.)

Turn the machine off and unplug all cables from the machine.

Caution

Do not press the memory module strongly or the module

may be damaged. If the module does not seem to fit into

the slot properly, carefully try the previous procedure again.

10.1

Replace the control board cover.

Reconnect the power cord and printer cable, and turn the machine

on.

Note

To release the memory module, pull the two tabs on the

sides of the slot outwards, then the module springs out.

Activating the added memory in the PS printer

properties

After installing the memory module, you need to select it in the printer

properties of the PostScript printer driver in order to use it.

Make sure that the PostScript printer driver is installed on your

computer. For details about installing the PS printer driver, see

document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If,

after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print

correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your

print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful

when printing Adobe. This feature is available only

when you use the PCL printer driver.

Download as Bitmap: When this option is selected, the

driver will download the font data as bitmap images.

Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or

Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.

Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver

will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents

with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts,

printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this

setting.

•

Print All Text To Black: When the Print All Text To

Black option is checked, all text in your document prints solid

black, regardless of the color it appears on the screen.

Print All Text To Darken: When the Print All Text To

Darken option is checked, all text in your document is allowed

to print darker than on a normal document. Some printers do

not support this feature.

Watermark

You can create a background text image to be printed on each

page of your document. For details, see “Using Watermarks” on

page 21.

Overlay

Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and

letterhead paper. For details, see “Using Overlays” on page 22.

Output Options

•

Print Subset: You can set the sequence in which the pages

print. Select the print order from the drop-down list.

Normal (1,2,3): Your printer prints all pages from the first

page to the last page.

Reverse All Pages (3,2,1): Your printer prints all pages

from the last page to the first page.

Print Odd Pages: Your printer prints only the odd numbered

pages of the document.

Print Even Pages: Your printer prints only the even

numbered pages of the document.

•

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.

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.

Printing Files

You can print many different types of files on the Samsung

machine device using the standard CUPS way - directly from

the command line interface. The CUPS lpr utility allows you do

that. But the drivers package replaces the standard lpr tool by

a much more user-friendly LPR GUI program.

To print any document file:

Type lpr <file_name> from the Linux shell command

line and press Enter. The LPR GUI window appears.

Change the printer and print job properties.

When you type only lpr and press Enter, the Select

file(s) to print window appears first. Just select any files

you want to print and click Open

In the LPR GUI window, select your printer from the list,

and change the printer and print job properties.

For details about the properties window, see page 31.

Click OK to start printing.

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
