Guidelines
Transparencies
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only
transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to
withstand 208° C (406.4° F), the machine’s fusing
temperature.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them
from the machine.
• 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.
• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the
quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes,
consider the following factors:
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should
not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may
occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should
lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and
should not contain air.
- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,
nicked, or otherwise damaged.
- Temperature: You should use envelopes that are
compatible with the heat and pressure of the
machine during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and
well creased folds.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed
transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled,
or have any torn edges.
Labels
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels
designed for use in laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following
factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable
at 208° C (406.4° F), the machine’s fusing
temperature.
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed
backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets
that have spaces between the labels, causing
serious jams.
• 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.
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no
more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any
direction.
Acceptable
- 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 machine components.
• 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.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the
backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
otherwise damaged.
Unacceptable
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with
more than one flap that folds over to seal must use
adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing
temperature of 208° C (406.4° F) for 0.1 second.
The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling,
creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer
than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges of the
envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s
seams meet.
Card stock or
custom-sized
materials
• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3
inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4
mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the
material.

Loading original documents and paper
In the manual feeder
Paper Type
Guidelines
Use the manual feeder to print transparencies, labels,
envelopes or postcards in addition to making quick runs of
paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper
input tray.
Preprinted paper
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink
that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
temperature of 208° C (406.4° F) for 0.1 second.
• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should
not adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a
moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during
storage.
To load print material in the manual feeder:
1
Load a sheet of the print material with the side to be
printed on facing up into the center of the manual
feeder.
• 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.
Loading paper
In the paper input tray
Load the print material you use for the majority of your print
jobs in the paper input tray. The paper input tray can hold a
maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m2) plain paper.
To load paper, pull open the paper input tray and load paper
with the side to be printed on face down.
Depending on the paper type you are using, keep the
following loading method:
• Envelopes: load a sheet with the flap side down and with
the stamp area on the top left side.
• Transparencies: load a sheet with the print side up and
the top with the adhesive strip entering the machine
first.
• Labels: load a sheet with the print size up and top short
edge entering the machine first.
• Preprinted paper: load a sheet with the design face up,
top edge toward the machine.
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 paper input tray.
• Card: load a sheet with the print side up and the short
edge entering the machine first.
For details about loading paper in the tray, see page 2.3.
• Pre printed paper: load a sheet with the printed side
down and an uncurled edge toward the machine.
NOTES
:
• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet
at a time in the manual feeder.
• 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.

Maintenance
This chapter provides information for maintaining your machine
and the toner cartridge.
Cleaning your machine
To maintain print and scan quality, follow the cleaning
procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or
if print and scan quality problems occur.
This chapter includes:
CAUTION: 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.
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.
Printing reports
Your machine can print report containing system data
information.
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.

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
toner cartridge
.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your
machine.
3
Thoroughly roll the toner cartridge 5 or 6 times to
distribute the toner evenly inside the toner cartridge.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it
to light for more than a few minutes.
Saving toner
To save toner, press Menu until Toner Save appears and then
press OK when On appears. Using this feature extends the life
of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it
also reduces print quality.
Expected toner cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5%
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 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 toner
cartridge more often.
NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry
cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into
fabric.
CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the toner cartridge to avoid
touching this area.
NOTE: The 1,000 pages and 3,000 pages toner cartridge have
different shapes.

Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert
the toner cartridge into the opening in the machine.
Redistributing the toner cartridge
Tabs on the sides of the toner cartridge and corresponding
grooves within the machine will guide the toner cartridge
into the correct position until it locks into place completely.
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs.
• The warning message, Toner Low displays on the control
panel.
• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer
telling you that the toner cartridge is low on toner.
• The Status LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by
redistributing the remaining toner in the toner cartridge. In
some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even
after you have redistributed the toner.

• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try
rotating the paper 180° in the tray.
• Try printing to the rear cover.
• 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.

Suggested solutions
• Try printing to the rear cover.
The scanner does not
work.
• Make sure that you place the document to be
scanned face down on the document glass.
• 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 cable is connected properly.
• Make sure that the USB cable is not defective.
Switch the cable with a known good cable. If
necessary, replace the cable.
• 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.
Copying problems
Condition
Suggested solutions
Copies are too light or
too dark.
Use Darkness to darken or lighten the background
of the copies.
Smears, lines, marks,
or spots appears on
copies.
• If defects are on the original, use Darkness to
lighten the background of your copies.
• If no defects are on the original, clean the scan
unit. See page 8.2.
The unit scans very
slowly.
• 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.
Copy image is
skewed.
• Ensure that the original is face down on the
document glass.
• Check that the paper is loaded correctly.
Blank copies print
out.
Ensure that the original is face down on the
document glass.
Image rubs off the
copy easily.
• Replace the paper in the paper input tray with
paper from a new package.
• In high humidity areas, do not leave paper in the
machine for extended periods of time.
Frequent copy paper
jams occur.
• Fan the stack of paper, then turn it over in the
paper input tray. Replace the paper in the paper
input tray with a fresh supply. Check/adjust the
paper guides, if necessary.
• Ensure that the paper is the proper paper weight
75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) paper is recommended.
• Check for copy paper or pieces of copy paper
remaining in the machine after a paper jam has
been cleared.

Installing Printer Software
You can install the printer software for local printing. To install
the printer software on the computer, perform the appropriate
installation procedure depending on the printer in use.
A printer driver is software that lets your computer
communicate with your printer. The procedure to install drivers
may differ depending on the operating system you are using.
All applications should be closed on your PC before beginning

Getting Started
NOTES
:
• It’s also necessary to claim swap partition of 300 MB or
larger for working with large scanned images.
• The Linux scanner driver supports the optical resolution at
maximum. Please refer to the scanner and copy section of
Specifications in your Printer User’s Guide.
• You can check your printer name in the supplied CD-
ROM.
The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s MFP driver
package for using your machine with a Linux computer.
Samsung’s MFP driver package contains printer and scanner
drivers, providing the ability to print documents and scan
images. The package also delivers powerful applications for
configuring your machine and further processing of the scanned
documents.
After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver
package allows you to monitor a number of MFP devices via fast
ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. The acquired
documents can then be edited, printed on the same local MFP
or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or
transferred to an external OCR system.
Software
• Linux Kernel 2.4 or higher
• Glibc 2.2 or higher
• CUPS
• SANE
The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible
installation program. You don't need to search for additional
components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all
required packages will be carried onto your system and
installed automatically; this is possible on a wide set of the
most popular Linux clones.

MFP Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring
MFP devices. Since an MFP device combines the printer and
scanner, the MFP 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.
NOTE: You must log in as a super user (root) to install the
printer software. If you are not a super user, ask your system
administrator.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
The following five tabs display at the top of the window:
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.
•
General: allows you to change the printer location and
name. The name entered in this tab displays on the
printer list in Printers configuration.
•
Connection: allows you to view or select another port. If
you change the printer port from USB to parallel or vice
versa while in use, you must re-configure the printer port
in this tab.
The Samsung MFP 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 MFP Ports Configuration. The port sharing prevents you
from accessing one functional block of the MFP device, while
another block is in use.
•
•
•
Driver: allows you to view or select another printer
driver. By clicking Options, you can set the default
device options.
Jobs: shows the list of print jobs. Click Cancel job to
cancel the selected job and select the Show completed
jobs check box to see previous jobs on the job list.
Classes: shows the class that your printer is in. Click
Add to Class to add your printer to a specific class or
click Remove from Class to remove the printer from the
selected class.
When you install a new MFP printer onto your system, it is
strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an
MFP 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.
