To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for laser
printers.

• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand

machine’s fusing temperature.

• Pl

• D

o not leave unused transparencies on 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 transparencies care-

fully.

• T

o avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sun-

light.

• En

sure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn

edges.

• Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.

• T

o prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the

printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out.

Labels

To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for laser
machines.

machine’s fusing temperature (about 170°C (338 °F)).

- Arra

ngement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between

them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the
labels, causing serious jams.

- Cur

(0.51 inch.) of curl in any direction.

- Co

ndition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indica-

tions 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.

PRINTING A MACHINE REPORT

You can print a configuration page to view current printer settings, or to help
troubleshoot printer problems.

(See "Printing a demo page & configuration sheet" on page 22.)

CLEANING A MACHINE

If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty envi­ronment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep the the most

timum print quality.

op

• Cleaning the outside of the machine with cleaning materials con-

taining large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong sub­stances can discolor or distort the cabinet.

• If yo

ur machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with
toner, we recommend that you use a cloth or tissue dampened
with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in
the air and might be harmful if inhaled.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. 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 dust, toner, and dust particles in the air
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 and reduces these problems.

1. Turn the machine offGand unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to

cool down.

2. Ope

n the top cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a clean flat

surface.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to

light for more than few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper,
if necessary.

• Do n

ot touch the green surface of the drum located in the toner
cartridge or imaging unit. Use the handle on the cartridge to
avoid touching this area.

3. W

ith a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the

toner cartridge area.

Maintenance_ 44

While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to damage
the transfer roller or any other inside parts. Do not use solvents

such as benzene or thinner to clean. Printing quality problems can
occur and cause damage to the machine.

4. Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover.

5. Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.

STORING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, tempera­ture, and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the recommendations
below to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality, and longest life
from your new Samsung toner cartridge.

Store this cartridge in the same environment as the printer it will be used in;
this should be in controlled office temperature and humidity conditions. The
toner cartridge should remain in its original, unopened package until instal­lation – If original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the
cartridge with paper and store it in a dark cabinet.

Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful
shelf and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is
removed from the printer, always store the cartridge according to the follow
ing guidelines:

• Inside the protective bag from the original package.

• Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it

was installed in the machine.

• Do not store consumable in any of the following conditions:

- Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).

- Humidity range less than 20% and not greater than 80%.

- An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.

- Direct sunlight or room light.

- Dusty places.

- A car for a long period of time.

- An environment where corrosive gases are present.

- An environment with salty air.

TIPS FOR MOVING & STORING YOUR MACHINE

• When moving 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 reduce print quality.

• When moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding

the machine securely.

-

Handling instructions

• Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge.

• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.

• Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this

can cause internal damage and toner spillage.

Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge

Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of non-Sam­sung brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand,
refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges.

Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine
caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung
brand toner cartridge.

Estimated cartridge life

Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the
amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield may vary
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating environ
ment, printing interval, media type, and/or media size. For example, if you
print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you may
need to change the cartridge more often.

This chapter gives helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error.

This chapter includes:

• Redistributing toner

• Tips for avoiding paper jams

• Clearing paper jams

• Solving other problems

REDISTRIBUTING TONER

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:

• Whi

te streaks or light printing occurs.

• The

LED blinks red.

If this happens, you can temporarily improve prin
the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light
printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.

1. Ope

When you open the top cover, make sure that the output tray is
closed.

2. Pull the toner cartridge out.

3. Thoroughly roll the cartridge five or six times to distribute the toner

evenly inside the cartridge.

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 drum in the the toner cartridge or imaging unit.
Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

4. Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into
the opening in the machine.

TIPS FOR AVOIDING PAPER JAMS

By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided.
When a paper jam occurs, refer to the guidelines below:

• En

sure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. (See "Load-

ing paper in the tray" on page 29.)

• Do

not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper

capacity mark on the inside of the tray.

• Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.

• F

lex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.

• D

o not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.

• D

o not mix paper types in a tray.

• U

se only recommended print media.

• En

sure that the recommended side of the print media is facing the right

side. (See "Loading paper in the tray" on page 29.)

• If duplexing, print one sheet at a time using the

both sides of the paper (Manual)" on page 35.)
