2. Prepare the print material for loading.
• For paper :
- Flex or fan the paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper.
Straighten the edges on a level surface.
2.2
P rin t in g
• For transparencies:
- Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print
side.
- Fan the stack of transparencies to prevent feeding failures.
Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print sides.
3. Load the print material in the automatic paper feeder. Do not load too
much print material. Do not mix types. See the following directions to
load each type of print material.
• Load paper or transparencies with the print side facing you.
Place the print side
facing you.
2.3
P rin t in g
• Load letterhead paper with the design facing you. The top edge of the
sheet with the logo should enter the printer first.
4. Adjust the paper guides to the width of the print material. Slide the
guides until they lightly touch the stack of print material. Do not bend the
print material.

Note: If you print a job on a special print media, select the correct paper size and
type in your application before printing. See page 2.8.
2.4
P rin t in g
Using the manual feeder
If you want to print manually, one piece of media at a time, use this manual
paper feeder.
Manual paper feeder
Notes:
• Make sure that you select the Manual Feeder source and the correct paper size
from your software application before starting your print job. See page 2.8.
• When you use the manual paper feeder, the paper must be loaded in the
automatic paper feeder to prevent the paper jam which might occur in the manual
paper feeder.
1. Place the paper in the manual feeder and adjust the paper guides to the
width of the print material. Make sure that the paper is as far down as it
will go.
For envelope, load it with the flap side facing away from you. The stamp
area is on the left side. The end of the envelope with the stamp area
enters the feeder last.

P rin t in g
Paper guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep
these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.
• Use only high quality, copier grade paper. Avoid paper with embossed
lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough.
• Coloured paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy
paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of
392 oF (200 oC) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper
with a coloured coating that was added after the paper was produced.
• Pre-printed forms must be printed with non-flammable, heat-resistant
inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when
subject to the printer’s approximately 392 oF (200 oC) fusing temperature
for 0.1 second.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. 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.
• During storage, moisture-proof wrap (any plastic container or bag)
should be used to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your
paper.
• When you choose envelopes, use only well-constructed envelopes with
sharp, and well creased folds.
- DO NOT use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
- DO NOT use envelopes with windows, coated linings, self-stick
adhesives, or other synthetic materials.
- DO NOT use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

Printer settings
You can use your machine with all your Windows 3.x or Windows 95/ 98,
or Windows NT applications. Be sure to set your printer as the default
printer for all your Windows operations.
Most Windows software applications allow you to make changes to the
printer settings. This changes the number of copies, sequence of the pages,
and paper orientation.
If you click Properties, Setup, or Options in the print dialogue box, you’ll
access the printer driver’s dialogue box. It allows you to change additional
printer settings. Settings changed in the software application will usually
override settings made in the printer driver.
Your printer driver’s properties dialogue box includes three tabs (four tabs

Color Document
If performance when rendering complex graphics is
either very slow, or yields unsatisfactory output,
try toggling this setting.
Graphics
With each of these checkboxes selected, your
printer gives you accurate grays even if it has to
dither them. You will get exactly what you ask for.
However, small dithered text is difficult to read,
and fine dithered lines appear dashed instead of
solid. With these options off, your printer maps text
and lines to the nearest gray. For black & white
output, grays that are darker than about 50% map
to black; lighter grays map to white. For color,
colors map to the nearest gray.
Dither Text and
Dither Line
When an application sends a bitmap fill pattern
(also called 'pattern brush') to the printer, the
expected, standard size is 8 pixels square. Some
applications are able to send larger patterns. If the
Large Bitmap Pattern checkbox is selected, you
encounter output where your bitmap fills have
repeating pattern anomalies in them, try to turn the
checkbox off.
Large Bitmap
Pattern
Your printer has a process that automatically
enlarges the bitmap fill patterns so that the output
more closely matches the screen. For example, with
the default setting '0', patterns that come from a
VGA system (96x96 logical pixels per inch) are
enlarged three times to (almost) match the 300x300
dpi of a laser printer. If you set the scale to '1', your
printer can handle the brush patterns exactly as
they come from the application's scaling. You can
also force your printer to scale by 2, 3, 4, or more
times by entering larger numbers.

TrueType
If you find a problem with your printer when the

also run into substitution problems. Turning the
TrueType checkbox on speeds up handling of
TrueType fonts by sending them as text. With this
option off, fonts are handled as graphics. This can
be useful if you are printing over a network to a
server that does not have the same typeface you are
using on your workstation PC. Since the data is
sent as graphics, you do not run into font
substitution problems.
If you are printing with characters found in
languages like Japanese or Chinese (also called
'double-byte characters'), the TrueType checkbox
should be off.
If you find a problem with your printer when the
document uses typefaces installed in Adobe Type
Manager (ATM) software or TrueType, use this
feature. If you have both font engines, you could
also run into substitution problems. The Adobe
Type Manager checkbox accesses a "back door" to
ATM. Turning this option on uses this back door to
speed up handling of Type 1 PostScript fonts by
handling them as text. With this option turned off,
the fonts are handled as graphics.

Editing images
To enlarge or reduce the image displayed
It may be useful when you need to take a closer look at some parts of the
image, or see the whole image. Select a proper sub menu from the View
menu.
Note: Changing the zoom factoring doesn’t change the image itself; it does only
change the way of view. To change the size of image itself, you should
perform resizing or resampling.
Erasing parts of an image
To erase a part of image, choose the
tool from the toolbox. You can
change the size of the eraser. The erased areas will be replaced with a
selected background colour.
Transforming images
The bottom part of the Image menu contains commands used for
transforming images. All these commands (except of Resize, Resample,
and Crop) work with either a whole image or with a selected region. The
Resize and Resample commands work with the whole image only. The
Crop command works only if a region is selected.
Rotate: Lets you rotate the image or a selected region.
Flip: Flips the image vertical or horizontal.
Shear: Lets you shear (skew) the image by arbitrary angle.
Crop: Lets you cut a part off trim the image.The contents of the selected
part will replace the whole image.
Resize: Lets you resize the image. It works only with the whole image.
Choose new dimensions in the Width and Height fields.
Resample: This function is similar to Resize, but results of the functions
slightly differ. While Resize function simply “stretches” pixels when
enlarging the image, the Resample function performs some kind of
interpolation. This results in more smooth images with anti-aliased colour
transitions.
Wo rkin g wit h Im a g e Th ru

Changing colour mode
You can change the image’s colour mode using the Color menu. These
commands do not work with regions. They are always applied to the whole
image. The result of the changes will be immediately shown in the preview
area.
Halftone: It makes the image look like simulated grayscales using different
combinations of 1-bit black and white pixels. Because this image type is
only 1-bit, the file size is smaller than grayscale.
Grayscale: It converts the image into a grayscale mode. All the colour
information will be removed from the image, and the image will look
black-and-white.
Color Resolution: It changes the colour depth of an image. Colour depth is
defined as a number of bits per one pixel of image. The more bits are used
to represent one pixel, the more colours you can have in one image. So,
when you reduce the colour depth, the number of available colors is
reduced too.
Note: You can work with an colour image using Samsung ImageThru (by
importing the colour image from an external application), but you cannot scan and
print the colour image because your machine is a black and white scanner and
printer.
Adjusting image attributes
You can adjust a number of image attributes for an image being edited by
using the following submenus from the Color menu.
Brightness: You can make your image look brighter or darker.
Contrast: The contrast value defines how sharp or smooth the transition
between areas of different colour will be. The higher the contrast value, the
more pronounced are the changes of colour.
Hue: Hue is the wavelength of light reflected from or transmitted through
an object. More commonly, hue is identified by the name of colour such as
red, orange, or green. Hue is measured as a location on the standard colour
wheel and is expressed as a degree between 360o and 0o.
Saturation: Saturation, sometimes called chroma, is the strength or purity
of the colour. Saturation represents the amount of gray in proportion to the
hue and is measured as a percentage from 0% (gray) to 100% (fully
saturated). On the standard colour wheel, saturation increases as one
approaches the edge of the wheel; saturation decreases as one approaches
the center.
Gamma Correct: You can adjust the intensity of colors in an image by
changing the gamma constant that is used to map the intensity values.
Invert: The inverted image is similar to photo film negative; all light areas
become dark, dark areas become light, white becomes black, and black
becomes white.
Stretch Intensity: It automatically adjusts the intensity values based on the

Working within a region of an image
Operations can be applied to a region of an image instead of the whole
image. Region (also called selection) is an area of image that can be used as
target for most operations (with the exception of resizing, rotating and
shearing).
Toolbox contains the buttons to work with regions. You can also use the
Toolbox menu.
Selects a rectangular region. Click on the image and drag. You will
see a marquee rectangle that defines the region.
Selects a freeform region. Click on the image and drag while
holding the mouse button. You will see your region contour
enclosed into a rectangular marquee. This marquee is used for
resizing.
To change the position of region marquee, place the cursor inside the
marquee and drag. To change the size, place the cursor onto one of the
rectangular marquee handles and drag.
You can cut, copy, and paste regions using the Edit menu.
Working with annotations
In the Edit mode, you can add so-called annotations to the image using the
tools in the toolbox or in the Toolbox menu. Annotations are used for
adding comments and emphasizing parts of an image.
The annotation objects include the following types;
Lets you select an annotation to move, delete, resize, cut, copy, or
paste.
Lets you draw a straight line.
Lets you draw a one-headed or two-headed arrow.
Lets you draw a square.
Lets you draw a rectangle.
Lets you draw a rectangle with rounded corners.
Lets you draw an ellipse.

Lets you draw a line consisting of several segments (polyline). Start
clicking in the image where you want the polyline vertices to be
placed. You can also hold the mouse button and draw a freehand
contour. To indicate the last vertex of the polyline, click the right
mouse button.
Lets you draw closed contours consisting of several segments
(polygon).
Lets you create a frame with text fragments. To change the text,
access the text frame properties and enter a new text on the Text
tab.
Lets you create a frame with text fragments. The note object slightly
differs from the text object; while you can set the size of the text
frame, the note frame size is adjusted automatically according to
the entered text.
Lets you emphasize parts of the image to bring attention to them.
This object doesn’t cover the image content; it changes its hue
instead. It is similar to using a text marker on paper.
Each of these objects has a set of properties associated with it. Use
Properties from the Edit menu, or just double-click on the annotation. You
will see a tabbed window with the annotation properties.
You can find details about creating specific types of annotations in the
respective topics of the on-line help.
The annotations are independent objects “floating” above the image.
However, you can merge annotations with the image using Apply
Annotations command from the Image menu. After that, you won’t be
able to edit these annotations.
Applying effects
Effect menu in the Edit mode contains a number of effects that can be
applied to your images. Results of these effects greatly differ - from subtle
changes to incredible transformations.
All the effects can be applied to the whole image or to the selected region
only. If you want to apply the effect only to a region of an image, select the
region before invoking the effects.
Most of effects have several parameters that can be changed. You can see
the result of changing parameters in the preview area of the effect window.

Creating a multipage image
You can create multipage images, i.e. images that contain more than one
page. In fact, each page of such an image is a separate image, but making
them multipage may help you to apply all the operations that can be
applied to several images at once. To create a multipage image, select an
image and drag it on the multipage image. You can distinguish multipage
images by “page curl” at the lower right corner of image thumbnail.
Note: If you want an operation to be performed with all pages, drag the multipage

1. Open a scanned image of a document. AnyPage Lite can load image
files with BMP, PCX, DCX, JPG, or TIF extension.
2. Page layout analysis. The system segments and analyses the image and
marks blocks as texts, pictures, and tables on the image.
3. Recognition.

Troubleshooting
Overview
If you have any problems with the operation of your machine, refer to this section for suggested
remedies. The causes listed in this section are probable causes only, and may not represent all of
the possible cases which may occur under actual operating conditions. If you experience a
problem which does not seem to fall under any of the cases listed in this section or if you are
concerned about any other aspect of printer operation, call for service.
Printer problems
Problem
Possible cause and remedy
• The printer cable is not connected properly. Check the printer
cable connection.
The printer does not print.
• The printer cable is defective. Swap the cable with one known
to work.
• The port setting is incorrect. Check the Windows printer
settings to make sure that the print job is being sent to the
correct port (for example, LPT1).
• The toner cartridge is not installed properly. Remove and
reinsert the toner cartridge.
• The printer may be configured incorrectly. Check the
application to make sure that all print settings are correct.
• The printer driver may be incorrectly installed. Uninstall the
MFP driver and reinstall the MFP driver. Then try printing a
test page. Refer to ‘Uninstalling SmarThru software’ on page
