(7) Take care of the power cable. Do not allow it to become twisted, bent sharply round corners or other wise
damaged. Do not place objects on top of the power cable. If the power cable is damaged it could overheat and
cause a fire or exposed cables could cause an electric shock. Replace a damaged power cable immediately,
do not reuse or repair the damaged cable. Some chemicals can attack the coating on the power cable,
weakening the cover or exposing cables causing fire and shock risks.
(8) Ensure that the power sockets and plugs are not cracked or broken in any way. Any such defects should be
repaired immediately. Take care not to cut or damage the power cable or plugs when moving the machine.
(9) Use caution during thunder or lightening storms. Samsung recommend that this machine be disconnected from
the power source when such weather conditions are expected. Do not touch the machine or the power cord if it
is still connected to the wall socket in these weather conditions.
(10) Avoid damp or dusty areas, install the printer in a clean well ventilated location. Do not position the machine
near a humidifier. Damp and dust build up inside the machine can lead to overheating and cause a fire.
(11) Do not position the printer in direct sunlight. This will cause the temperature inside the printer to rise possibly
leading to the printer failing to work properly and in extreme conditions could lead to a fire.
(12) Do not insert any metal objects into the machine through the ventilator fan or other part of the casing, it could
make contact with a high voltage conductor inside the machine and cause an electric shock.

Precautions
1.3 ESD Precautions
Certain semiconductor devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. Such components are commonly called
“Electrostatically Sensitive (ES) Devices”, or ESDs. Examples of typical ESDs are: integrated circuits, some field
effect transistors, and semiconductor “chip” components.
The techniques outlined below should be followed to help reduce the incidence of component damage caused by
static electricity.
Caution >>Be sure no power is applied to the chassis or circuit, and observe all other safety precautions.
1. Immediately before handling a semiconductor component or semiconductor-equipped assembly, drain off any
electrostatic charge on your body by touching a known earth ground. Alternatively, employ a commercially avail-
able wrist strap device, which should be removed for your personal safety reasons prior to applying power to the
unit under test.
2. After removing an electrical assembly equipped with ESDs, place the assembly on a conductive surface, such as
aluminum or copper foil, or conductive foam, to prevent electrostatic charge buildup in the vicinity of the assem-
bly.
3. Use only a grounded tip soldering iron to solder or desolder ESDs.
4. Use only an “anti-static” solder removal device. Some solder removal devices not classified as “anti-static” can
generate electrical charges sufficient to damage ESDs.
5. Do not use Freon-propelled chemicals. When sprayed, these can generate electrical charges sufficient to dam-
age ESDs.
6. Do not remove a replacement ESD from its protective packaging until immediately before installing it. Most
replacement ESDs are packaged with all leads shorted together by conductive foam, aluminum foil, or a compa-
rable conductive material.
7. Immediately before removing the protective shorting material from the leads of a replacement ESD, touch the pro-
tective material to the chassis or circuit assembly into which the device will be installed.
8. Maintain continuous electrical contact between the ESD and the assembly into which it will be installed, until com-
pletely plugged or soldered into the circuit.
9. Minimize bodily motions when handling unpackaged replacement ESDs. Normal motions, such as the brushing
together of clothing fabric and lifting one’s foot from a carpeted floor, can generate static electricity sufficient to
damage an ESD.

4.2.1 Paper Feed Mechanism
The printer has a universal cassette which automatically loads paper and a manual feed which supplies paper
single sheet at a time. The cassette has a friction pad which separates paper to ensure single sheet feeding, and it
has a sensor, which checks when the paper tray is empty.
- Feeding Method: Universal Cassette Type
- Feeding Standard: Center Loading
- Feeding Capacity: Cassette-250 sheets (75g/m2 , 20lb paper standard)
Manual 1 sheet (Paper, OHP, Envelop, etc.)
- Paper detecting sensor: Photo sensor
- Paper size sensor: None
4.2.2 Transfer Ass’y
This consists of the PTL (pre-transfer lamp) and the Transfer Roller. The PTL shines a light onto the OPC drum.
This lowers the charge on the drum’s surface and improves transfer efficiency.
The transfer roller transfers toner from the OPC drum surface to the paper.
- Life expectancy: Over 60,000 sheets (at 15~30°C)
4.2.3 Drive Ass’y
A gear driven power unit. The motor supplies power to the paper feed unit, the fuser unit, and the toner cartridge.
4.2.4 Fixing Part(Fuser)
There are two types of fuser unit:
Q-PID type, developed by Samsung, and only used on 220V Domestic models
Heat Lamp type used on 220V Export models and all 110V models.
The Heat Lamp type fuser consists of the Heat Lamp, Heat Roller, Pressure Roller, Thermistor, and Thermostat. It
fixes toner to the paper using pressure and heat to complete the printing job.
4.2.4.1 Heat Lamp power cut-off (Thermostat)
The thermostat is a temperature sensing device, which cuts off the power to the heat lamp to prevent overheating
fire when the heat lamp or heat roller overheats.
4.2.4.2 Temperature Detecting Sensor (Thermistor)
The Thermistor detects the surface temperature of the heat roller, this information is sent to the main processor
which uses this information to regulate the temperature of the heat roller.
4.2.4.3 Heat Roller
The surface of the Heat Roller is heated by the Heat Lamp. As the paper passes between the Heat and Pressure
rollers the toner is melted and fixed permanently to the paper. The surface of the roller is coated with Teflon. This
ensures that toner does not adhere to the roller surface.
4.2.4.4 Pressure roller
The Pressure Roller mounted under the heat roller, it is made of a silicon resin, and the surface of the roller is
tubed with Teflon. This ensures that toner does not adhere to the roller surface.

Summary of product
4.2.6 LSU (Laser Scanner Unit)
This is the core of the laser printer. It converts the video data received from the computer into an electrostatic
latent image on the surface of the OPC drum. This is achieved by controlling the laser beam and exposing the
surface of the OPC drum to the laser light. A rotating polygon mirror reflects the laser light onto the OPC and each
side of the mirror is one scan line. The OPC drum turns as the paper feeds to scan the image down the page.
The /HSYNC signal is created when the laser beam from LSU reaches the end of the polygon mirror and this
signal is sent to the controller. The controller detects the /HSYNC signal to adjust the vertical line of the image on
paper. In other words after the /HSYNC signal is detected the image data is sent to the LSU to adjust the left margin
on the paper.

3) Paper Feeding, Toner Cartridge Sensing
When paper passes the actuator on the feed sensor, it is detected by the Photo interrupter.
Signal (nP_FEED, PIN 186) monitored by the CPU and this signal starts the process of creating the image after certain
delay time If the feed sensor is not detected within 1 sec. after paper is fed, a paper Jam0 occurs. (Displayed on the
LCD panel).
When a toner cartridge is inserted it also operates the Paper Feed sensor. A message is displayed on the LCD id no
cartridge is detected.
4) Paper Exit Sensing
This detects that paper exits cleanly from the set using an exit sensor on the engine board and actuator on the frame.
The monitors signal (P_EXIT, PIN 84) and detects the on/off time of the exit sensor and if jam status is detected then
JAM2 is displayed the on the LCD panel.
5) Cover Open Sensing
The Cover open sensor actuator is located on the front cover and the senor is in the main frame.
When the front cover is open the +24V and +5V supplies to the DC fan, solenoid, main motor, polygon motor part of
LSU, HVPS and LSU Laser diode are cut off. The CPU monitors signal (COVER_OPEN, GPIO_11) to recognize when
the cover is open.
6) DC FAN / SOLENOID Driver
It is driven by a transistor and controlled by signal (FAN, GPIO_7; Main Clutch Solenoid:PIN 185,MP Clutch Solenoid:
PIN 184) bit of the CPU.
When it is high the fan is activated by turning on the TR, and it is off when the sleep mode is selected. There are three
solenoids and these are driven by the Paper Pick-up, Regi and MP signals. The diode protects the driving TR from the
Back-EMF pulse which is generated when the solenoid is de-energized.

4.4 SMPS & HVPS
The SMPS and HVPS are on one integrated board.
The SMPS supplies the DC power to the system. It takes either 110V or 220V and outputs the +5V and 24V
supplies to the main and other PBAs.
The HVPS creates the high voltage of THV/MHV/Supply/Dev and supplies it to the toner cartridge. The CPU is
used to modify some of these voltage settings to provide the ideal voltages to create the image.
The HVPS part uses the 24V and outputs the high voltage for THV/MHV/BIAS and the outputted high voltage is
supplied to the toner, OPC cartridge and transfer roller.

Summary of product
4.4.1 HVPS(High Voltage Power Supply)
1) Transfer High Voltage (THV+)
- Function : It is this voltage that transfers toner from the OPC Drum to the paper.
- Output voltage : Maximum +5000V ±5% (no load, variable duty cycle)
- Error : IF THV (+) is not present, low density printing occurs due to toner on the OPC Drum not being
transferred to the paper. It is possible that waste toner over-flow can occur if this condition persists.
Ghost images may appear which repeat at 76mm intervals.
2) Charge Voltage (MHV)
- Function : It is this voltage that charges the surface of the OPC to -900V ~ -1000V.
- Output voltage : -1300V ~ -1800V DC ± 50V
- Error : IF MHV is not present toner then since the OPC drum surface has no charge toner is attracted to the
whole OPC surface. A black page is printed out when this happens.
3)Cleaning Voltage (THV-)
- Function : It removes toner contamination from the rear side of the paper by sending (-) polarity to the transfer
roller forcing toner to transfer back to the to OPC drum.
- Output Voltage : -1000VDC, +300V/-150V
- Error : Smudges and toner contamination on the reverse side of the printed page.
4) Developing Voltage (DEV)
- Function: It is this voltage that develops toner with on to the section of the OPC drum surface exposed by the
LSU (Laser Scanning Unit).
* When printing the exposed voltage on the OPC is -180V, unexposed is -970V, and the exposing voltage on
the DEV is -330V. Therefore toner with (-) polarity is developed onto an exposed section of the OPC.
- Output voltage: -200V ~ 600V DC ± 20V
- Error: a) If DEV is GND, print density gets extremely low.
b) When DEV is floating due to poor connection between the frame and cartridge contacts etc., print
density gets extremely high.
5) Supply Voltage (SUP)
- Function: It is this voltage that supplies toner to the developing roller.
- Output voltage: : -350V ~ -750V DC ± 50V (Use ZENER)
- Error: a) When SUP is GND print density gets extremely low.
b) If SUP is floating due to poor connection between the frame and cartridge contacts etc.
density gets extremely low such that it is hard to see toner with the eyes
6) OPC Ground ZENER Voltage
- Function: It is this voltage that prevents image contamination under low temperature and low humidity
environment conditions.
- When a set prints without an output voltage, -130V DC ± 15V is maintained on OPC ground. (-130V ZENER
diode is connected to OPC ground)
- Error type: a) When the ZENER diode is - 0V there is no serious image problem in general environment, but
in low temperature and low humidity environments it is possible that contamination can occur on
the entire image
b) When the ZENER diode is disconnected a blank page is printed out. (It is the same when a
ZENER diode is disconnected from OPC ground.)

4.4.3 Fuser AC Power Control
The Fuser (HEAT LAMP) is heated using AC power. The AC power is controlled by a Triac (THY1), a semiconductor
switch. 'On/Off control' is achieved when the gate of the Triac is turned on/off by a Photo triac (PC1), this is an
insulting part.
In the other words the AC control part is a passive circuit. It turns the heat lamp on/off by taking a signal from the
engine control section. When the 'HEATER ON' signal is activated by the engine the LED of PC1 (Photo Triac)
flashes. The flashing light causes the Triac (PC1) to switch and a voltage is supplied to the gate of Triac THY1.
As a result AC current flows in the heat lamp, and heat is produced. On the other hand, when the signal is off,
PC1 is off, the voltage is cut off at the gate of Triac THY1, this Triac is therefore off, and thus the heat lamp is
turned off.

4.5.1 Feeding
If feeding from the cassette the drive of the pickup roller is controlled by controlling the pick-up solenoid. The on/off
of the solenoid is controlled by controlling the general output port or the external output port. If feeding from the
manual feeder the set decides to feed the paper according to the operation of the manual sensor, and by driving
the main motor, insert the paper in front of the feed sensor. When paper moves the occurrence of a paper jam is
judged as below.
4.5.1.1 Jam 0 – Jam in Feed area
• After a page was picked up, paper did not enter the unit due to a paper misfeed.
• After a page was picked up, paper entered but it did not reach the feed sensor in certain time due to slip, etc.
• After a page was picked up, if the feed sensor is not on try to pick up again. After retrying if the feed sensor is still
not on after certain time, it is Jam 0.
- this indicates that the leading edge of the paper doesn't pass the feed sensor within a certain time.
• Even though the paper reaches the feed sensor, the feed sensor does not turn on.
- this indicates that the leading edge of the paper already passed the feed sensor or that the sensor is faulty.
4.5.1.2 Jam 1 – Jam inside the print engine
• After the leading edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the trailing edge of the paper does not pass the feed
sensor within certain time. (During this time the feed sensor cannot be Off)
• After the leading edge of the paper passes the feed sensor, the paper does not reach the exit sensor within a
certain time. (The exit sensor cannot be On during this time)
- There is already paper between the feed sensor and the exit sensor.
4.5.1.3 Jam 2 – Jam in the Exit area
• After the trailing edge of the paper passes the feed sensor the trailing edge of the paper does not pass the exit
sensor within certain time.
4.5.2 Drive
The main motor drives the paper feed, developing unit and the Fuser It is driven by software which controls the
acceleration, constant speed and deceleration profiles. The Motor is managed with an AN44060 driver IC and
controlled by step and enable signals from the CPU.
4.5.3 Transfer
The charging voltage, developing voltage and the transfer voltage are controlled by PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation). Each output voltage is changeable according to the PWM duty cycle. The transfer voltage used when
the paper passes the transfer roller is decided by environment recognition. The resistance value of the transfer
roller changes due to the surrounding environment in the room or within the set, this change in resistance in turn
changes the value of the voltage due to loading. This voltage is fed back into the set through the A/D converter.
Based on this fed back value the PWM cycle is changed to maintain the required transfer voltage Page 4-10 has a
different chip number Which is correct

4.5.4 Fusing
The temperature of the heat roller's surface is detected according to the resistance value of the thermistor.
The thermistor resistance is measured using the A/D converter and thus the CPU can determine the temperature of
the heat roller. The AC power is controlled by comparing the target temperature to the value from the thermistor. If
the value from the thermistor is out of the controlling range while controlling the fusing process, the error stated in
the table occurs. (For the domestic model, the Q-PID method has been applied.)

4.5.5 LSU
The LSU consists of the LD (Laser Diode) and the polygon motor control. When the printing signal occurs, the LD
is turned on and the polygon motor is enabled. When the light sensor detects the beam, Hsync occurs. When the
polygon motor speed becomes a normal, LReady occurs. If these two conditions are satisfied, the status bit of the
LSU controller register becomes 1 and the LSU is judged to be ready. If the two conditions are not satisfied, the
error shown in the table below occurs.

5.1 General Precautions on Disassembly
5
When you disassemble and reassemble compo-
nents, you must use extreme caution. The close
proximity of cables to moving parts makes proper
routing a must.
If components are removed, any cables disturbed
by the procedure must be restored as close as
possible to their original positions. Before remov-
ing any component from the machine, note the
cable routing that will be affected.
Releasing Plastic Latches
Many of the parts are held in place with plastic
latches. The latches break easily; release them
carefully.
To remove such parts, press the hook end of the
latch away from the part to which it is latched.
Whenever servicing the machine, you
must perform as follows:
1. Check to verify that documents are not stored
in memory.
2. Be sure to remove the toner cartridge before
you disassemble parts.
3. Unplug the power cord.
4. Use a flat and clean surface.
5. Replace only with authorized components.
6. Do not force plastic-material components.
7. Make sure all components are in their proper
position.

7.5 Toner Cartridge Service
Only toner cartridges supplied by Samsung should be used. Printing defects or set damage caused by the use of
non-approved toner cartridges or un-licensed toner refills are not covered by the guarantee.
7.5.1 Precautions on Safe-keeping of Toner Cartridge
Excessive exposure to direct light for more than a few minutes may cause damage to the cartridge.
7.5..2 Service for the Life of Toner Cartridge
If the printed image is light due to the toner supply becoming low you can temporarily improve the print quality by
redistributing the toner (Shake the toner cartridge), however you should replace the toner cartridge to solve the problem
permanently.
7.5.2.1 Redistributing Toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light print occurs. You can temporarily reestablish the
print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.
1. Open the Front Cover.
3. Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently shake it hor-
izontally four or five times to distribute the toner evenly
inside the cartridge.
4. Save the box and the cover for shipping. Slide the new
toner cartridge in until it locks into place.
2. Lightly pushing the used cartridge down, pull it out.
Note : Help the environment by recycling your used toner car-
tridge. Refer to the recycling brochure packed with the
toner cartridge for details.
7.5.3 Standard of guarantee for consumable parts.
Please refer to User's Manual or Instructions on Printer Consumables SVC manual for the criteria for judging the quality
of consumable parts the standard of guarantee on those parts.
• Spotting a refilled cartridge by eye.

While Power turned on, the printer is not working in the printing mode.
Check and Cause
Solution
1. Run Self-Test Mode: using the menu buttons print the
test page. (Menu, Enter, Enter).
1. If the test print works that means there are no
problems in the printer itself. If the test printing does
not work that means the printer is faulty and the
problem is not due to computer software or driver
settings.
2. Check that the PC and the printer are properly
connected and that the toner cartridge installed
correctly.
2. Replace the printer cable. If the problem is not
solved even after the cable is replaced, check the
amount of the remaining toner. (refer to Toner
Cartridge Service 7-6, Page 7-25)
3. Printing is not working in the Windows.
3. Check that the connection between PC and printer
port are correcct. If you use windows, check that the
printer driver in the controller is set up correctly set
up, the correct port is selected and ‘Use On-line’ is
selected in the driver. If the printer driver is properly
set up try printing a test page from the driver proper-
ties. Check in which program printing is not working.
Try opening ‘Memo Pad’ and printing. If the printer
is not working in a certain program, adjust the setup
within that program.
Sometimes, the printout is normal within the
Windows basic programs, but it's not working in a
particular program. In this case, uninstall and re-
install the new driver. If the printer is not working in
the Windows basic programs and you are printing
using the parallel port check the port setting in
CMOS is on ECP and that the address is IRQ 7
and 378 (for parallel port 1). Try using USB instead
of parallel – or vice versa.
4. Check that the printer cable is directly connected to the
printer.
4. If you have other devices that need to share the
printer port try temporarily disconnecting these
devices 9and perhaps even uninstalling their dri-
vers) to ensure the printer works by itself. If you are
using a USB hub try connecting directly to the back
of the PC instead.

7.6.2 The printer is not working (2)
After receiving the print command there is no response at all or print speed is low
due to wrong setup of the environment rather than malfunction of the printer itself.
• Description
Check and Cause
Solution
1. Ensure you have sufficient free hard disk space for the
temporary work files created during printing.
1. Not working with the message 'insufficient printer
memory' means there is a hard disk space problem
rather than a printer RAM problem. In this case pro-
vide more space on the hard disk. Secure more
space using the disk utilities program.
2. Printing error occurs even if there is enough space in
the hard disk.
2. The connection of the cable and printer port is not
correct. Check that the cable is properly connected
and if you are using the parallel port check that the
port settings in CMOS is correct.
3. Check the parallel-port-related items in the CMOS
Setup.
3. For the printer port, Select ECP. SPP and normal
normal modes support 8-bit data transfer, while
ECP Mode supports 12-bit data transfer.
4. Reboot the system to print.
4. If the regular font is not printing, the cable or the
printer driver may be defective.
Turn the PC and printer off, and reboot the system
to print again. If not solved, double-click the printer
