Adjusting color

If you feel the color difference between the printout and monitor, you
may change the color setting such as color contrast or color level.

The printer driver provides graphic options to adjust the print quality for
specific printing needs.

1. To change the print settings from your software application, access
Printing Preferences (See "Opening printing preferences" on

page 57).

2. Click the Graphics tab. Refer to the online help for each option’s
information provided from the Printing Preferences.

• Color Mode: You can choose color options between Color or

Grayscale. Setting to Color typically produces the best possible
print quality for color document. If you want to print a color
document in gray scale, select Grayscale.

Black Optimization allows you to print in high quality
black. If you use this option, it might take longer to print.

To adjust color manually, select Advanced in Color Mode.
Simply slide the color balance slider in the Levels tab to adjust
color, or select Matching tab for driver provided color correction
for general image processing.

• Advanced: You can set advanced settings by clicking the

Advanced button. (PCL driver only)

• Font/ Text: Select Darken Text to print text darker than on a

normal document. Use All Text Black to prints solid black,
regardless of the color it appears on the screen.

• Raster Compression: This option determines the compression

level of images for transferring data from computer to a printer. If
you set this option to Maximum, the printing speed will be high,
but the printing quality will be low. (PCL driver only)

• Graphic Controller: It allows you to emphasize edges of texts

and fine lines for improving readability and align each color
channel registration in color printing mode.

- Grayscale Enhancement: It allows users to preserve the

details of nature photos, and improve contrast and readability
among gray scaled colors, when printing color documents in
grayscale. (PCL driver only)

- Fine Edge: It allows you to emphasize edges of texts and

fine lines for improving readability.

• Toner Save: Adjusting this option extends the life of your toner

cartridges and reduces your cost per page without a significant
reduction in print quality.

- You can move the slider from No Saving to Maximum

Saving to reduce toner consumption.

3. Click OK or Print until you exit the Print window.

USING THE SMART PANEL PROGRAM

Smart Panel is a program that monitors and informs you of the machine
status, and allows you to customize the machine’s settings. For Windows
and Macintosh, Smart Panel is installed automatically when you install the
machine software. For Linux, you can download Smart Panel from the
Samsung website (See "Installing the SmartPanel" on page 28).

To use this program, your computer has to meet the following system
requirements:

• Windows. Check that your computer’s CPU, RAM and HDD meet

CLEANING A 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 the most
optimum printing quality.

• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials

containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong
substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.

• If yo

ur machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with
toner, we recommend that 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 if inhaled.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth
slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the
machine.

Cleaning the inside

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 or
reduces these problems.

1. Turn the machine offGa

STORING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

Toner cartridge storage

Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light,
temperature, and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the
recommendations to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality, and
longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.

Store this cartridge in the same environment as the printer it will be used in;
this
toner cartridge should remain in its original, 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.

Handling instructions

• 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.

Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge

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.

Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine
caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung
brand 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, printing interval, media type, and/or media size. For example,
if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you
may need to change the cartridge more often.

TIPS FOR MOVING & STORING YOUR MACHINE

• When moving the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down. Otherwise,

the inside of the machine may be contaminated by toner, which can
cause damage to the machine or reduce print quality.

• When moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding

the machine securely.

REDISTRIBUTING TONER

It is possible that colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to
flawed mixing of toner colors when one of the colored toner cartridges is low
on toner. You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the
toner.

The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling
you which cartridge is low on toner (See "Using the Smart Panel
program" on page 66).

1. Pre

ss the release button, completely open the front cover.

2. Grasp the handle on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the cartridge
from the machine.

3. Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side

to side to evenly distribute the toner.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash it
in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

4. Slide the toner cartridge back into the machine.

5. Close the front cover. Make sure the cover is securely latched.

If the front cover is not completely closed, the machine will not
operate.

TIPS FOR AVOIDING PAPER JAMS
