Getting Started>

3 Getting Started

This chapter gives you step-by-step instructions for setting up the machine.

This chapter includes:

• Setting up the hardware

• Altitude adjustment

Setting up the hardware

This section shows the steps to set up the hardware which is explained in the Quick Install Guide. Make sure you read Quick Install Guide and complete following steps.

1 Select a stable location.

Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation. Allow extra space to open covers and trays.

The area should be well-ventilated and away from direct sunlight or sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the machine close to the edge of your desk or table.

Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to the altitude setting to optimize your printing. See page 3.2 for more information.

Place the machine on a flat and stable surface for not letting it lean more than 2 mm (0.08 inches). Otherwise, it may affect the printing quality.

2 Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.

3 Remove the tape holding the machine tightly.

4 Install both the toner cartridge.

5 Load paper. (See "Loading paper in the tray" on page 4.5.)

6 Make sure that all the cables are connected to the machine.

7 Turn the machine on.

8 Install the software. See Software section.

Note

When the printer driver is in installation process, the driver installer detects the locale information of your operating system, and sets the default paper size for your machine. If you use the different Windows locale, you must change the paper size of your machine for matching your commonly used paper size. Go to the printer properties to change the paper size after installation completes.

Caution

When you move 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 bad printing quality.

media

This chapter introduces you how to load originals and print media into your machine.

This chapter includes:

• Selecting print media

• Loading paper in the tray

• Setting the paper size and type

Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, 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.

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.

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.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, or other print materials, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on page 4.3.

• 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 machines.

• 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 15 °C and 30 °C. 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 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

Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser machines.

• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 9.1.

• 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.

• 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.

Note

If your machine does not feed the transparency print media properly, put a blank sheet of paper under the transparency, and try again.

Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

designed for use in laser machines.

• 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 9.1.

- 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 more than 13 mm 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

• Do not print on media smaller than 105 mm wide or 148 mm long.

• In the software application, set margins at least

6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.

Note

If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn the paper around and try again.

Preprinted paper

• 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 9.1.

• 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.

Media type Guidelines

Maintaining the 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.

Expected cartridge life

The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. Average yield for a new toner cartridge is 2,000 standard pages in accordance with the ISO/IEC 19752 standard. (Average yield for the original toner cartridge supplied with the machine is 1,000 standard pages.) 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 a toner is low the toner LED( ) blinks slowly. It may cause faded or light areas on a paper. You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. For detailed information about error message, see page 7.7.

Printing quality problems

If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem.

Condition Suggested solutions

Light or faded print

If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:

• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the toner save mode off. See the help screen of the printer driver and refer to Software section, respectively.

• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. Contact a service representative.

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU (see page 6.2).

Toner specks

• The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.

Dropouts

If faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:

• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.

• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.

• If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

White Spots White spots appear on the page:

• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.

Vertical lines

If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The toner cartridge has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU (see page 6.2).

Color or Black background

If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:

• Change to a lighter weight paper. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• Check the environmental conditions: very dry conditions (low humidity) or a high level of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can increase the amount of background shading.

• Remove the old toner cartridge, and then install a new one. (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 6.5.)

Toner smear

• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a service representative to clean the inside of the machine.

• Check the paper type and quality. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

Condition Suggested solutions

Troubleshooting>

Vertical repetitive defects

If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:

• Clean the inside of the machine. Contact a service representative to clean the inside of the machine. After cleaning the inside of the machine, if you still have the same problems, install a new toner cartridge of the problem color. See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 6.5.

• Parts of the machine may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages.

• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.

Background scatter

Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page.

• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or in printer properties.

Misformed characters

• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try different paper. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. Contact a service representative.

Page skew

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.

Condition Suggested solutions

Curl or wave

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

Wrinkles or creases

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

• Remove the toner cartridge, and then install a new one. (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 6.5.)

• If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.

Character Voids

Character voids are white areas within parts of characters that should be solid black:

• If you are using transparencies, try another type of transparency. Because of the composition of transparencies, some character voids are normal.

• You may be printing on the wrong surface of the paper. Remove the paper and turn it around.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications. (See "Specifications on print media" on page 4.3.)

Horizontal stripes

If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:

• The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.

• The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 6.5.)

• If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.

Common Linux problems

Condition Suggested solutions

The printer doesn’t

print.

• 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 is 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.

• 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 command item.

I encounter error “Unable to open mfp port device file!” when printing a document.

Please avoid changing 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 beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks mfp port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred, please, try to release the mfp port.

When printing a document over the network in SuSE

9.2, the printer does not print.

The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp (Internet Printing Protocol) printing. Use the socket printing instead of ipp or install later version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).

Glossary>

10 Glossary

Control Panel

A control panel is a flat area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in top or front of the machine.

Coverage

This is the printing term used for toner usage measurement on printing and generally used as 5% coverage. 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be over 5% and at the same time, toner usage will be as much as the coverage.

Default

The first set values.

DPI

This is the measurement of resolution which is used for printing or scanning. Generally, more dots per inch result in a higher resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.

Duty Cycle

Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages a day, which is not small amount.

Fuser Unit

This is the part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media. It consists of two hot rollers. After toner is transferred onto the paper, the fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that the toner stays on the paper permanently, which is why paper is warm when it comes out of a laser printer.

Grayscale

Shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image when color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented by various shades of gray.

Halftone

This is an image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of dots. Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter areas consist of a smaller number of dots.

ISO

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and commercial standards.

LED

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the status of a machine.

Print Media

Media such as papers, labels, and transparencies which can be used on a printer, a scanner, a fax or, a copier.

OPC Drum

A mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam emitted from a laser printer, and it is usually green or gray-colored and cylinder-shaped. An exposing unit of a drum is slowly worn away by its usage of the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately since it becomes scratched from grit in paper.

PDF

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing two-dimensional documents in a device-independent and resolution-independent format.

PPM

Pages Per Minute. PPM shows the printer's speed, how many pages a printer can actually print per minute.

PRN file

An interface for a device driver, this allows software to interact with the device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies many tasks.

Resolution

The sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher the dpi, the greater the resolution.

Toner cartridge

It is a kind of bottle within a machine like a printer which contains toner. Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers which forms the text and images on the printed paper. Toner can be melted by the heat of the fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in the paper.

URL

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.

USB

Universal serial bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals. Unlike the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a single computer USB port to multiple peripherals.
