Regulatory Compliance Statements
Wireless Guidance
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 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, please 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. 802.11B (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.
vii
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. Please 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.

Setting Up Your Printer
4Hold the toner cartridge and lift up the handle part of the toner cartridge. There is a flexible plastic holder. Remove the holder out of the toner cartridge.
5Gently shake the cartridge from side to side to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
Thoroughly shaking the cartridge will assure maximum copies per cartridge.
CAUTIONS:
•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.
•Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum, on the front of the toner cartridge with your hands or any other material.
•To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper to protect it, if necessary.
6Locate the cartridge slots inside the printer, one on each side.
7Grasp the handle and insert the cartridge in the printer until it snaps into place.
8Close the top cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
NOTE: When printing text at 5% coverage, you can expect a toner cartridge life of approximately 12,000 pages (6,000 pages for the toner cartridge that is shipped with the printer).
2.3
Setting Up Your Printer
The paper tray can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 20lb plain paper.
To load a stack of A4 or Letter-sized paper:
1 Pull open the paper tray and remove it from the printer.

•If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause paper jams.
4Load paper with the print side down. For details, see from step 5 on page 2.4.
2.5
Setting Up Your Printer
To print from your computer in a local environment, you need to connect your printer to the computer with either a parallel interface cable or a Universal Serial Bus (USB) cable.
If you are a Macintosh user, you can use only the USB cable.
NOTE: You only need to connect one of the cables mentioned above. Do not use the parallel cable and USB cables at the same time.
Using a Parallel Cable
NOTE: Connecting the printer to the parallel port of the computer requires a certified parallel cable. You will need to buy a IEEE1284 compliant cable that is 3 m or less in length.
1Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off.
2Connect a parallel printer cable into the parallel connector on the back of the printer.
Push the metal clips down to fit inside the notches on the cable plug.
3Connect the other end of the cable to the parallel interface port on your computer, and tighten the screws.
See your computer’s User’s Guide, if you need help.
Using a USB Cable
NOTE: Connecting the printer to the USB port of the computer requires a certified USB cable. You will need to buy a USB 2.0 compliant cable that is within 3 m in length.
1Make sure that both the printer and the computer are turned off.
2Connect a USB printer cable into the USB connector on the back of the printer.
3Connect the other end of the cable to the USB port on your computer.
See your computer’s User’s Guide, if you need help.
NOTE: To print using the USB interface, you must be running Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003 or Macintosh with the OS 9.x and G3 processor or OS 10.2.x later.
You can attach your printers to a network using an Ethernet cable (UTP cable with RJ.45 connector).
The ML-3561N, ML-3561ND and ML-3562W come with a builtin network interface card. The ML-3562W also has a network antenna which allows you to use wireless LAN interface.
If you are a ML-3560 user, you need to install an optional network interface card.

The Toner Save mode allows the printer to use less toner on each page. Activating this mode extends the life of your toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page beyond what one would experience in the normal mode, but it reduces print quality. This setting is not available with the 1200 dpi setting.
There are three ways to enable the Toner Save mode:
Press the Toner Save button ( ) on the control panel. The printer must be in ready mode; the On Line/Continue button (
) is on in green and “Ready” is shown on the display.
•If the Toner Save button backlight is on, the mode is enabled and the printer uses less toner to print a page.
•If the Toner Save button backlight is off, the mode is disabled and the printer prints in normal mode.
You can set the Toner Save item in the Graphics menu to turn the Toner Save mode on or off.
For further details about using the control panel menu, see page 3.3.
You can set the Toner Save mode from the printer properties window on your printer driver. For details, see the Software User’s Guide.
You must install software using the supplied CDROM after you have set up your printer and connected it to your computer. For details, see the
Software User’s Guide.
The CD-ROM provides you with the following software:
If you are printing from Windows
You can install the following printer software using the CDROM.
•PCL printer driver for Windows. Use this driver to take full advantage of your printer’s features. See the Software User’s Guide for details about installing the Samsung PCL printer driver.
