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, 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. 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. 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.

Using toner save mode

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 two ways to enable this mode:

Using the control panel button

Press Toner Save on the control panel. The printer must be in Standby mode; the Status LED lights green and Ready is shown on the display, if you use the ML-3051N or ML-3051ND.

If the button backlight is on, the mode is enabled and the printer uses less toner to print a page.

If the button backlight is off, the mode is disabled and the printer prints in normal mode.

From the software application

You can set toner save mode from the printer properties window on your printer driver. See the Software Section.

Introduction

Once you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users.

You need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods:

Via network administration programs

You can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage the printer via the following programs that came with your printer:

SyncThru™ Web Admin Service:Web-based printer management solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of manageing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network machines from any sith with corporate internet access. Download this program from http://solution.samsungprinter.com.

SyncThru™ Web Service: A web server embedded to your network print server, which allows you to configure the network parameters necessary for the printer to connect to various network environments.

SetIP: Utility program allowing you to select a network interface and manually configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol. See Using SetIP program on page 4.3

Via the control panel

You can set up the following basic network parameters through the printer’s control panel:

Configure TCP/IP

Configure IPX frame types for NetWare

Configuring TCP/IP

Your printer can be set up with a variety of TCP/IP network information, such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and DNS addresses. There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP address, depending on your network.

Static addressing: A TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the system administrator.

Dynamic addressing via BOOTP/DHCP (default): A TCP/IP address is assigned automatically by the server.

Note

Before configuring TCP/IP, you need to set the network protocol to TCP/IP.

4.1 <Network setup>

Static addressing

To enter a TCP/IP address from your printer’s control panel, take the following step:

1Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.

2Press OK when TCP/IP appears.

3Press the Scroll buttons until Static appears and press OK.

4Press OK when IP Address appears.

5Set the first byte between 0 and 255 using the Scroll buttons and press OK to move to the next byte.

Repeat this to complete the address from the 1st byte to the 4th byte.

6When you have finished, press OK.

7Repeat step 5 and 6 to configure the other TCP/IP parameters: subnet mask and gateway address.

8Press Stop to return to Standby mode.

Dynamic addressing (BOOTP/DHCP)

To have a TCP/IP address assigned automatically by the server, take the following step:

1Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the display.

2Press OK when TCP/IP appears.

3Press the Scroll buttons until DHCP or BOOTP appears and press

OK.

4Press Stop to return to Standby mode.

Configuring EtherTalk

EtherTalk is AppleTalk used in an Ethernet network. This protocol is widely used in Macintosh network environments. To use EtherTalk, take the following step:

1Press Menu until Network appears on the bottom line of the display and press OK.

2Press the Scroll buttons until EtherTalk appears and press OK.

3Press the Scroll buttons until On appears and press OK.

4Press Stop to return to Standby mode.

Configuring IPX frame types

To use IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare), the format of the network communication frames must be specified for the printer. In most cases, you can keep the Auto setting. However, you can manually set the frame type format, if required. Take the following step to change the frame type format:

1Press Menu until Network on the bottom line of the display and press OK.

2Press the Scroll buttons until NetWare appears and press OK.

3Press the Scroll buttons until the desired frame type appears.

Auto: Automatically senses and limits the frame type to the first one detected.

802.2: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.2 with IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

802.3: Limits the frame type to IPX over IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

Ethernet II: Limits the frame type to IPX over Ethernet Frames. All others will be discarded.

SNAP: Limits the frame type to IPX over SNAP with IEEE 802.3 frames. All others will be discarded.

Off: The IPX/SPX protocol is disabled.

4Press OK to save the selection.

5Press Stop to return to Standby mode.

4.2 <Network setup>

This chapter will help you understand types of paper you can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best print quality.

This chapter includes:

Selecting print media

Loading paper

Selecting an output location

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 printer. 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 printer.

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:

Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.

Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper tray.

Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:

-16 to 24 lb bond (60 to 90 g/m2) for the tray 1 and optional tray 2

-16 to 43 lb bond (60 to 163 g/m2) for the multi-purpose tray

-20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2) for the duplex printing (ML-3051ND only)

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.

Notes

• 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.

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 5.3.

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 printer.

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 (59o 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 multipurpose tray 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 type

Guidelines

 

 

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/m2 (24 lb) or jamming 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 printer 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

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 of 200° C (392° F) for

0.1 second. 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.
