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.
The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:
• Green and Yellow:
• Blue:
Earth
Neutral
Live
• Brown:
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.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L” or colored
red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

Selecting print media
5 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 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
•
•
•
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the printer
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content,
are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print media, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate
for your project.
• Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper
adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:
2
- 16 to 28 lb bond (60 to 105 g/m ) for the tray 1 and optional tray 2,
tray 3, tray 4
2
- 16 to 53 lb bond (60 to 200 g/m ) for the multi-purpose tray
- 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m ) for the duplex printing
2
• 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:
Media 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 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.
o
o
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 C and 30 C
o
o
(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 media types one sheet at a time through the multi-
purpose 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.
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 printer’s
fusing temperature of 195° C (383° 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.

Media type
Guidelines
Media 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 of 195° C (383° 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.
• 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 195° C (383° F), the printer’s
fusing temperature.
• 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 500 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain
paper.
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be
stable at 195° C (383° F), the printer’s fusing
temperature.
You can purchase optional trays and attach them below the standard tray
to load an additional 500 sheets of paper for each tray. You can attach
up to three additional trays. For order information for optional trays, see
page 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 trays
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.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the
backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
otherwise damaged.
Full
Empty
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.

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. Your printer has a cleaning
mode that can correct and prevent these types of problems.
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.
Cleaning the outside of the printer
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
There are two methods to clean the inside of the printer:
• Clean the inside manually.
• Print a cleaning sheet, which can be done from the control panel.
Cleaning the inside of the printer manually

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.
1
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minute.
Expected cartridge yield
Feed Sensor
1
The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs
require. The actual number may also be different depending on the print
density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be
affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.

Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover.
Plug in the power cord and turn the printer on.
Printing a cleaning sheet
Saving toner
If you are experiencing blurred, faded, or smeared printouts, you can
clear the problem by printing a cleaning sheet, provided by your printer.
You can print:
To save toner, press Toner Save on the control panel. The button
backlight turns on.
• OPC cleaning sheet: cleans the OPC drum of the toner cartridge.
• Fuser cleaning sheet: cleans the fuser unit inside the printer.
Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your
cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.
This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be
discarded.

Thoroughly shake the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner
evenly inside the cartridge.
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks and light printing occur.
• Toner Low appears on the display.
• The Status LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish 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.
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.

Precautions when installing accessories
10 Installing accessories
Your printer is a full-featured laser printer that has been optimized to
meet the majority of your printing needs. Recognizing that each user
may have different requirements, however, Samsung makes several
accessories available to enhance the printer’s capabilities.
Disconnect the power cord:
Never remove the control board cover while the printer is plugged in.
To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the
power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external
accessories.

•
Discharge static electricity:
The control board and internal accessories (network interface card,
DIMM, and hard disk) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing
or removing 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 round before
finishing installation, discharge any static electricity once again.
Installing a dual in-line memory module (DIMM)
Your printer has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot. Use this
DIMM slot to install additional memory.
Your printer has 128 MB of memory which can be expanded to 512 MB.

your specific printing needs. See “Printing a Document” on
page 12 for more information on accessing printer properties.
You can set advanced settings by clicking the Advanced
Options button.
•
TrueType Options: This option determines what the driver
tells the printer about how to image the text in your document.
Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your
document. This option may be available only in
Windows 9x/Me, depending on your particular printer
model.
Click the Graphic tab to display the properties shown below..
-
Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the
driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your
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.
Resolution
The Resolution options you can select may vary
depending on your printer model. The higher the setting,
the sharper the clarity of printed characters and graphics. The
higher setting also may increase the time it takes to print a
document.
Toner Save Mode
Selecting this option extends the life of your toner cartridge and
reduces your cost per page without a significant reduction in print
quality. Some printers do not support this feature.
•
Printer Setting: If you select this option, this feature is
determined by the setting you’ve made on the control panel of
the printer.

•
On: Select this option to allow the printer to use less toner on
each page.
Off: If you don’t need to save toner when printing a document,
select this option.

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.
Save as Form for Overlay: Select Save as Form for Overlay to
save the document as a form file (C:\FORMOVER\*.FOM). Once
this option is selected, the printer driver requires the file name
and the destination path each time you print. If you want to
preset the file name and specify the path, click on the button in
the Output to area, and type the file name and specify the path.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL

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.
