(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.

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 available 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 assembly .
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 damage 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 comparable conductive material.
7. Immediately before removing the protective shorting material from the leads of a replacement ESD, touch the protective 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 completely 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.
1. Exercise caution when replacing a super capacitor or Lithium battery. There could be a danger of explosion and
subsequent operator injury and/or equipment damage if incorrectly installed.
2. Be sure to replace the battery with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Super capacitor or Lithium batteries contain toxic substances and should not be opened, crushed, or burned for
disposal.
4. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacture’s instructions.

2) System Memory Block
Memory saves program and video data and print jobs received from host. Its volume is 64MB with network function
and 32MB without network function. It has no separate device for extension. SDRAM is used, driven at width of 32-bit
and 100MHz, and controlled by memory controller built in CHORUSm.
3) Flash Memory Block
Flash memory is the space used for saving program. Its volume is 4MB with network function and 2MB without network function. It has no separate device for extension. NOR type flash memory is used and accessed at 32-bit width
burst, being controlled by the ROM controller built in CHORUSm.
4) USB2.0 Device Block
This block supports USB2.0 high speed (480Mbps). ISP1582 of Philips company is used and connected to the IO
Bus of CHORUSm at 16-bit, controlled by IO controller built in CHORUSm. Through this I/O port it receives print job
from host.
5) Network Block
This block has 10/100Mbps wired network function and is controlled by MAC controller built in CHORUSm. It is con nected to host through physical layer chip outside, and thus receives print job from host. STE100P is used for physical layer chip.
6) EEPROM Block
System EEPROM is controlled by the I2C controller built in CHORUSm, connected to the other non-volatile memory
on I2C bus. It works at the speed of 400KHz. This system EEPROM contains all drive information and production
information necessary for the operation of printer. Its size is 16k-bit.
7) OPE Control
The panel is driven in the form of PIO by GPIO controller built in CHORUSm. OPE consists of one key and four
monochrome LED, and one dual LED.
8) LSU Control
Laser Scanning Unit is controlled by LSU controller built in CHORUSm. It makes use of all functions such as Polygon
Mirror Motor Control necessary for driving LSU and Synchronized Signal Generation Control, and helps to scan laser
beam on the photosensitive drum to form latent image.
9) BLDC Control
It is controlled by BLDC controller built in CHORUSm. It controls the drive of printer mechanism and helps it to be driven at an equal speed.
10) Sensors Control
GPIO controller built in CHORUSm collects the status of all sensors. According to this status of sensors, it controls
printer mechanism to help normal printing. There are sensors such as Paper Empty Sensor, Registration Sensor and
Developer Home Sensor, etc.
