Safety information_11

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS

Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type 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.

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 wireless device in, is not listed, contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

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.

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.

2.Start Windows Explorer and open the X drive. (X represents your CDROM drive.)

3.Double click Application > SetIP.

4.Open the folder of the language you plan to use.

5.Double click Setup.exe to install this program.

6.Follow the instructions in the window and complete the installation.

Starting the program

1.From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > Samsung Network Printer Utilities > SetIP.

2.Select the name of your printer and click .

If you cannot find your printer name, click to refresh the list.

3.Enter the network card's MAC address, IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and then click Apply.

If you do not know the network card's MAC address, print the machine's network information report. (See "Printing reports" on page 58.)

4.Click OK to confirm the settings.

Selecting print media

Changing the size of the paper in the paper tray

LOADING ORIGINALS

You can use the scanner glass or ADF to load an original for copying, scanning, and sending a fax.

On the scanner glass

Make sure that no originals are in the ADF. If an original is detected in the ADF, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass. To get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images, use the scanner glass.

1. Lift and open the scanner lid.

2.Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with the registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.

Loading paper

Setting the paper size and type

3. Close the scanner lid.

• Be careful not to break the scan glass. You may get hurt.

Be careful not to let the scan cover fall over your hands. You may get hurt.

When scanning or copying, do not look at the light inside the scanner. It is harmful for your eyes and it can be dangerous.

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.

In the ADF (CLX-3170FN/CLX-3170FW only)

Using the ADF, you can load up to 15 sheets of paper (75 g/m2, 20 lb bond) for one job.

When you use the ADF:

In the ADF: Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm (5.6 x 5.8 inches) or larger than 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).

Do not attempt to load the following types of paper: - carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper

- coated paper

- onion skin or thin paper

- wrinkled or creased paper - curled or rolled paper

- torn paper

Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.

Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry before loading.

Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.

Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents having other unusual characteristics.

1.Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading originals.
