plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you
must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover.
If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have another fuse
cover.
Please contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be
suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13
amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove
the moulded plug.
Warning
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you
plug it into a socket.
Important warning:
The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:
• Green and Yellow: Earth
• Blue: Neutral
• Brown: Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do
the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter
“E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N”
or colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L”
or colored red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

Selecting and loading print media
This chapter introduces you to how select and load print media for your
machine.
This chapter includes:
•Loading originals
•Selecting print media
•Loading paper
•Setting the paper size and type
Note
• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy
quality and toner consumption.
• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the
printout. Always keep it clean.
• If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the
scanner lid until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then
close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm,
start copying with the lid open.
Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass to load an original for copying, scanning.
1Lift and open the scanner lid.
2Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with
the registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.
Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the
guidelines for use with your machine. Print media that does not meet the
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following
problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content,
are important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the
output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are
described later in this section.
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate
for your project.
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Note
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section
and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the
result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and
humidity levels, or other variables over which Samsung has no
control.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that
it meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
3Close the scanner lid. Be careful not to move the document.
Caution
When you close the scanner lid after placing the document, be
careful your fingers not to be caught between the scanner glass
and the lid. Your machine may have a heavy lid (or cover) for
optimal pressure on the document for the best scanning.
Caution
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered
by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials,
keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on
page 5.5.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper
specifically recommended for use in laser printers.
• Avoid using the following media types:
- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too
smooth or too rough
- Erasable bond paper
- Multi-paged paper
- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.
Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells,
and damage to your machine.
• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.
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.
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15o C and 30o C (59
F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic
container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating
your paper.
• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the manual
feeder to avoid paper jams.
To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from
sticking together, remove them as they print out.
Guidelines for special print media
Media typeGuidelines
• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon
the quality of the envelopes. When selecting
envelopes, consider the following factors:
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper
should not exceed 90 g/m
may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes
should lie flat with less than 6 mm
(0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.
- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,
nicked, or otherwise damaged.
- Temperature: You should use envelopes that
are compatible with the heat and pressure of
the machine during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp
and well creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps,
windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or
other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope
Envelopes
o
extends all the way to the corner of the
envelope.
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 printer’s
fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your
machine’s specification to view the fusing
temperature, see page 13.1. The extra flaps and
strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams,
and may even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no
closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges
of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the
envelope’s seams meet.

(24 lb) or jamming
5.3 <
Selecting and loading print media>
Media typeGuidelines
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only
transparencies designed for use in laser
printers.
• Transparencies used in the printer must be able
to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.
Check your machine’s specification to view the
fusing temperature, see page 13.1.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing
them from the machine.
• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long
periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate
on them, resulting in spotty printing.
Transparencies
• 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.
Caution
Recommended media: Transparency for a
Color Laser Printers produced by HP,
Xerox and 3M.
It is not recommended to use paperbacked
transparencies such as Xerox 3R91334,
which can cause a jam or be scratched.
Media typeGuidelines
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels
designed for use in laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following
factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be
stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.
Check your machine’s specification to view the
fusing temperature, see page 13.1.
- 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: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no
Labels
more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any
direction.
- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,
bubbles, or other indications of separation.
• 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.
Card stock or
custom-sized
materials
Preprinted
paper
• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm
(3.00 inches) wide or 127 mm (5.00 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least
6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of
the material.
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the
printer’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second.
Check your machine’s specification to view the
fusing temperature, see page 13.1.
• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and
should not adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a
moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms
and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is
dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come
off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

In the manual feeder
The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material,
such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, labels, and envelopes. It
is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.
Tips on using the manual feeder
• Load only one size of print media at a time in the manual feeder.
When you print out many pieces of paper at once, tray use is
recommended.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in
the manual feeder. This also applies to other types of print media.
• 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.
• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.1 to avoid paper
jams and print quality problems.
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading
them into the manual feeder.
To load paper in the manual feeder:
Caution
When you do the printing job from the manual feeder, clear the
paper in the tray away.
1Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
6Slide the tray back into the machine.
Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following
loading guidelines:
• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top
left side.
• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip
entering the machine first.
• Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the machine
first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the
machine.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the
machine first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an
uncurled edge toward the machine.

Maintenance>
Cleaning your machine
To maintain print and scan quality, follow the cleaning procedures below
each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print and scan quality
problems occur.
Caution
• 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 your machine or its around is contaminated with toner, we
recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water
to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air
and might be harmful for you.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can
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.
1Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the
machine to cool down.
3Extend the top handle on the imaging unit and then use it to pull the
imaging unit out of the machine completely.
Caution
• To prevent damage to the imaging unit, 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 surface on the imaging unit with your
hands or any other material. Use the handle on it to avoid
touching this area.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the imaging unit.
4With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner.
2Open the front cover and pull the imaging unit out of the machine
using the handle on its bottom.
10.2 <
Note
After cleaning, let the printer to dry completely.
Maintenance>
5Pull the imaging unit about half and push it until it sounds ‘click’.
Repeat this action two or three times.
6Push the imaging unit until it sounds ‘click’ in to the machine.
Cleaning the scan unit
Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We
suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during
the day, as needed.
1Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.
2Open the scanner lid.
3Wipe the surface of the scanner glass until it is clean and dry.

Maintaining the toner cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in
mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
2Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out.
Expected cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print
jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the
print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be
affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.
Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs.
• The toner related message telling that the toner is low.
• SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you
which color cartridge is low on toner.
•The Status LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish 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.
1Open the front cover.
3Holding the toner cartridge, thoroughly roll it 5 or 6 times to
distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
Note
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.
4Grasp the toner cartridge and align it with the corresponding slot
inside the machine. Insert it back into its slot until it clicks into place.
10.4 <
5Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
Maintenance>
Replacing the toner cartridge
The machine uses four colors and has a different toner cartridge for each
one: yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C), and black (K).
When the toner cartridge is completely empty:
•The Status LED and the toner-related message on the display
indicate when each individual toner cartridge should be replaced.
• The machine stops printing.
At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. For order
information for toner cartridges, see page 12.1.
1Turn the machine off, then wait a few minutes for the machine to
cool.
2Open the front cover.
3Pull the corresponding toner cartridge out.
Note
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.
7Grasp the toner cartridge and align it with the corresponding slot
inside the machine. Insert it into its slot until it clicks into place.
8Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely latched
and then turn the machine on.
Caution
If the front cover is not completely closed, the machine will not
operate.
Note
If the installation is completed properly, a guide report is printed
out automatically. Wait for about 1.5 minutes for the machine to
get ready.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in
your system. Open Unified Driver
configurator and switch to the Printers
tab in Printers configuration window to
look at the list of available printers. Make
sure that your machine is displayed on
the list. If not, please, invoke Add new
printer wizard to set up your device.
• Check if the printer has started. Open
Printers configuration and select your
machine on the printers list. Look at the
description in the Selected printer pane.
If its status contains “(stopped)” string,
please, press the Start button. After that
normal operation of the printer should be
restored. The “stopped” status might be
activated when some problems in
printing occurred. For instance, this could
be an attempt to print a document when
a port is claimed by a scanning
application.
• Check if the port is not busy. Since
functional components of MFP (printer
and scanner) share the same I/O
interface (port), the situation of
simultaneous access of different
“consumer” applications to the same port
are possible. To avoid possible conflicts,
only one of them at a time is allowed to
gain control over the device. The other
“consumer” will encounter “device busy”
response. You should open ports
configuration and select the port
assigned to your printer. In the Selected
port pane you can see if the port is
occupied by some other application. If
this is the case, you should wait for
completion of the current job or should
press Release port button, if you are sure
that the present owner is not functioning
properly.
• Check if your application has special
print option 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 command line parameter in the

Please avoid changing the print job
parameters (via LPR GUI, for example)
while a print job is in progress. Known
versions of CUPS server break the print job
whenever print options are changed and
then try to restart the job from the
