Loading in manual feeder  
The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes (see "Print media specifications" on page 115).  
Tips on using the manual feeder  
Load only one type, size and weight of print media at time in the manual feeder.  
To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the manual feeder.  
Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.  
To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 115).  
Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.  
When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 41).  
When papers overlap when printing using the manual feeder, open tray and remove the papers then try printing again.  
When paper does not feed well while printing, push the paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically.  
When the machine is in a power save mode, the machine does not feed paper from the manual feeder. Wake up the machine by pressing the power button before  
using the manual feeder.

-
-
Weight: should not exceed 90 g/m otherwise; jams may occur.  
(: Included, Blank: Not available)  
Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and should not  
contain air.  
Envelope  
-
-
Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.  
Temperature: should resist the heat and pressure of the machine  
during operation.  
Printing successfully on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.  
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well-creased folds.  
Do not use stamped envelopes.  
42  
2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup  
 
Media and tray  
Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-  
adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.  
Transparency  
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in  
laser printers.  
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.  
1
2
Acceptable  
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 for 0.1 second about 170°C (338 °F). The extra flaps and strips  
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser  
unit.  
For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm from the  
edges of the envelope.  
Must withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.  
Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.  
Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.  
Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long. 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.  
43  
2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup  
 
Media and tray  
Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.  
Labels  
To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the printed  
sheets stack up as they are being printed out.  
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser  
printers.  
Recommended media: Transparency for a color laser printer by Xerox, such  
as 3R 91331(A4), 3R 2780 (Letter).  
When selecting labels, consider the following factors:  
-
-
-
Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.  
Check your machine’s specifications to view the fusing temperature  
(about 170°C (338°F)).  
Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them.  
Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing  
serious jams.  
Curl: Must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.

-
Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other  
indications of separation.  
Card stock/ Custom-sized paper  
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.

Storing the toner cartridge  
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature  
and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these recommendations to  
-An environment with salty air.

ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new  
Samsung toner cartridge.  
Handling instructions  
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used.  
This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The toner  
cartridge should remain in its original and unopened package until installation  
– if original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the cartridge  
with paper and store in a dark cabinet.  
Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive 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.  
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf  
and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is removed  
from the printer, follow the instructions below to store the toner cartridge  
properly.  
2
Toner cartridge usage  
Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.  
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.  
Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it  
were installed in the machine.  
Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:  
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).  
-Humidity range less than 20% or greater than 80%.  
-An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.  
-Direct sunlight or room light.  
Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused  
by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner  
cartridges.  
-Dusty places.  
-A car for a long period of time.  
-An environment where corrosive gases are present.  
71  
3. Maintenance  
       
Storing the 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 yield may vary  
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating  
environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or  
media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the  
toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more often.  
72  
3. Maintenance  
 
Redistributing toner  
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:  
White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side.  
The Status LED blinks red.  
If this happens, you can temporarily improve 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.  
Illustrations on this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on its options or models. Check your machine type (see "Machine overview" on page  
18).  
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.  
To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.  
Do not touch the green area of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.  
Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.

Cleaning the machine  
If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep it in the best printing  
condition and use your machine longer.  
Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the  
cabinet.  
If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend you use a cloth or tissue dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum  
cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful to you.  
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 and reduces these problems.

Ringer Equivalence Number  
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any  
person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a  
telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin  
at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the  
transmission the following information:  
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine  
may be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some  
instances you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.  
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed  
on the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have  
“overloaded” the line. Installing several s of equipment on the same telephone  
line may result in problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially  
ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of  
the equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in order to assure  
proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may  
not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating  
properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may  
cause harm to the telephone network.

Wireless guidance  
Low power, Radio LAN devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication  
devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in  
your printer system. The following section is a general overview of  
considerations while operating a wireless device.  
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of  
common restrictions are listed below:  
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment  
on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless  
devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also  
known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are  
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.  
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in  
the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in  
your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio  
Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the

requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be  
allowed.  
133  
5. Appendix  
Regulatory information  
In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or  
services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless  
device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen  
or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of  
wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments  
where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the  
applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the  
wireless device.  
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices.  
Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling  
between countries with your system, check with the local Radio  
Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the  
use of a wireless device in the destination country.  
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless  
device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields  
are in place and the system is fully assembled.  
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any  
way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use  
it. Contact manufacturer for service.  
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be  
used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact  
manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

Wireless network setup  
-
For a Static network environment  
Check the wireless reception around the machine. If the router is far from  
the machine or there is an obstacle, you might have difficulty receiving the  
signal.  
The machine uses the static address when the computer is configured  
to static address.  
Cycle the power for the access point (or wireless router), machine, and  
computer. Sometimes cycling the power can recover network  
communication.  
For example,  
If the computer’s network information is as shown below:  
IP address: 169.254.133.42  
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0  
Check whether firewall software (V3 or Norton) is blocking the  
communication.  
Then the machine’s network information should be as below:  
If the computer and the machine are connected on the same network and it  
cannot be found when searching, firewall software might be blocking the  
communication. Refer to the user's guide for the software to turn it off and  
try searching for the machine again.  
IP address: 169.254.133.43  
Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.)  
Gateway: 169.254.133.1  
Check whether the machine's IP address is allocated correctly. You can  
check the IP address by printing the network configuration report.  
Other problems  
Check whether the access point (or wireless router) has a configured  
security (password). If it has a password, refer to the access point (or wireless  
router) administrator.  
If problems occur while using the machine on a network, check the following:  
Check the machine's IP address. Reinstall the machine driver and change the  
settings to connect to the machine on the network. Due to the

Parts of the machine 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.  
Background scatter  
Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page.  
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.

Copying problems  
Condition  
Suggested solutions  
Copies are too light or too dark. Adjust the darkness in copy feature to lighten or darken the backgrounds of copies (see "Changing the settings for each copy" on page  
58).  
If the defect still appears after  
cleaning the machine.  
set the Copy Feature > Adjust Bkgd. > Auto. (see "Menu overview" on page 30).  
Smears, lines, marks, or spots  
appear on copies.  
If the defects are on the original, adjust darkness in copy feature to lighten the background of your copies.  
If there are no defects on the original, clean the scan unit (see "Cleaning the scan unit" on page 88).  
Copy image is skewed.  
Ensure that the original is aligned with the registration guide.  
The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 83).  
Blank copies print out.  
Ensure that the original is face down on the scanner glass or face up in the document feeder.  
If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.  
Image rubs off the copy easily.  
Replace the paper in the 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 paper, then turn it over in the tray. Replace the paper in the tray with a fresh supply. Check/adjust the paper guides, if  
necessary.  
Ensure that the paper is the proper type and weight (see "Print media specifications" on page 115).  
Check for copy paper or pieces of copy paper remaining in the machine after a paper jam has been cleared.  
Toner cartridge produces fewer  
copies than expected before  
running out of toner.  
Your originals may contain pictures, solids, or heavy lines. For example, your originals may be forms, newsletters, books, or other  
documents that use more toner.  
The scanner lid may be left open while copies are being made.  
Turn the machine off and back on.

Make sure that you place the original to be scanned face down on the scanner glass, or face up in the document feeder (see  
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 machine printer cable is connected properly.  
Make sure that the machine printer cable is not defective. Switch the printer cable with a known good cable. If necessary, replace  
the printer cable.  
Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check scan setting in the application you want to use to make certain that the  
scanner job is being sent to the correct port (for example, USB001).  
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.

The machine does not print.  
Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab in the  
Printers configuration window to look at the list of available machines. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If  
not, open Add new printer wizard to set up your device.  
Check if the machine is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine from the printers list. Look at the  
description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains Stopped, press the Start button. Normal operation of the machine  
should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems in printing occur.  
Check if your application has special print options such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter, then  
remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit the command line parameter in the

6. Troubleshooting  
 
Operating system problems  
Condition  
Suggested solutions  
The machine does not appear  
on the scanners list.  
Ensure your machine is attached to your computer, connected properly via the USB port, and is turned on.  
Ensure the scanner driver for your machine is installed in your system. Open Unified Linux Driver configurator, switch to Scanners  
configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure that driver with a name corresponding to your machine's name is listed in the  
window.  
Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional components of machine (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the  
situation of simultaneous access of different user applications to the same port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of  
them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other user will encounter “device busy” response. This usually  
happens when starting a scan procedure. An appropriate message box appears.  
To identify the source of the problem, open the Ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner, port's symbol /  
dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1, and so on. USB ports start  
at /dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially. In the Selected port pane, you can  
see if the port is occupied by another application. If this is the case, you should either wait for completion of the current job or  
press the Release port button, if you are sure that the present port application is not functioning properly.  
The machine does not scan.  
Ensure a document is loaded into the machine, ensure your machine is connected to the computer.

ADF  
The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by  
understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing as well as  
mentioned in this user’s guide.  
An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a scanning unit that will automatically  
feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can scan some amount of the  
paper at once.  
802.11  
AppleTalk  
802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN)  
communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee (IEEE  
802).  
AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for  
computer networking. It was included in the original Mac (1984) and is now  
deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.  
802.11b/g/n  
BIT Depth  
802.11b/g/n can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b  
supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps, 802.11n supports bandwidth up to 150  
Mbps. 802.11b/g/n devices may occasionally suffer interference from  
microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and Bluetooth devices.  
A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the  
color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color depth gives a broader  
range of distinct colors. As the number of bits increases, the number of possible  
colors becomes impractically large for a color map. 1-bit color is commonly  
called as monochrome or black and white.  
Access point  
BMP  
Access Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that connects  
wireless communication devices together on wireless local area networks  
(WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver of WLAN radio signals.

BOOTP  
Coverage  
Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP  
address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap process of  
computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign  
the IP address from a pool of addresses to each client. BOOTP enables 'diskless  
workstation' computers to obtain an IP address prior to loading any advanced  
operating system.  
It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing. For  
example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% image or text  
on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or lots of text on it, the  
coverage will be higher and at the same time, a toner usage will be as much as  
the coverage.  
CSV  
CCD  
Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to exchange  
data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is used in Microsoft  
Excel, has become a de facto standard throughout the industry, even among  
non-Microsoft platforms.  
Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan job. CCD  
Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to prevent any damage  
when you move the machine.  
Collation  
DADF  
Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When collation is  
selected, the device prints an entire set before printing additional copies.  
A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a scanning unit that will  
automatically feed and turn over an original sheet of paper so that the machine  
can scan on both sides of the paper.  
Control Panel  
Default  
A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or monitoring  
instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of the machine.  
The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its box state,  
reset, or initialized.

DHCP  
DPI  
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server networking  
protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters specific to the DHCP  
client host requesting, generally, information required by the client host to  
participate on an IP network. DHCP also provides a mechanism for allocation of  
IP addresses to client hosts.  
Dots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for scanning and  
printing. Generally, higher DPI results in a higher resolution, more visible detail  
in the image, and a larger file size.  
DRPD  
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Distinctive Ring is a telephone company  
service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several  
different telephone numbers.

machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer equipped with  
a Duplex Unit can print on both sides of paper during one print cycle.  
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a standard that allows devices on  
a home network to share information with each other across the network.  
DNS  
Duty Cycle  
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information associated  
with domain names in a distributed database on networks, such as the Internet.  
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance for a  
month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as pages per year.  
The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs, usually within the  
warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000 pages per month  
assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages a day.

Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into Class 1  
fax machines or fax modems. It automatically detects and corrects errors in the  
fax transmission process that are sometimes caused by telephone line noise.  
A suite of protocols developed by Apple Computer for computer networking. It  
was included in the original Mac (1984) and is now deprecated by Apple in favor  
of TCP/IP networking.  
Emulation  
FDI  
Emulation is a technique of one machine obtaining the same results as another.  
Foreign Device Interface (FDI) is a card installed inside the machine to allow a  
third party device such as a coin operated device or a card reader. Those devices  
allow the pay-for-print service on your machine.  
An emulator duplicates the functions of one system with a different system, so  
that the second system behaves like the first system. Emulation focuses on exact  
reproduction of external behavior, which is in contrast to simulation, which  
concerns an abstract model of the system being simulated, often considering its  
internal state.  
FTP  
A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a commonly used protocol for exchanging files  
over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol (such as the Internet or an  
intranet).  
Ethernet  
Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area  
networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer, and frame  
formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data link layer of the  
OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized as IEEE 802.3. It has become the most  
widespread LAN technology in use during the 1990s to the present.  
Fuser Unit  
The part of a laser printer that fuses the toner onto the print media. It consists of  
a heat roller and a pressure roller. After toner is transferred onto the paper, the  
fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that the toner stays on the paper  
permanently, which is why paper is warm when it comes out of a laser printer.
