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.

Y ou n eed to set up the networ k protoc ols on the printe r to use it as you r 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 sit h with co rporate intern et acces s. Download th is 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 u se with the TCP/IP prot ocol. See Using SetIP program on page 4.3

Via the control panel

Dynamic addressing server

• IPX/SPX: Internet Packet eXchange/Sequenced Packet eXchange

• TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol

• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

• BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol

•DHCP, BOOTP

Configuring TCP/IP

Your printer can be set up with a variety of TC P/ IP ne tw ork in form ati on, such as an IP addre ss, a sub net mask , a gatew ay, and DNS addresses. There are several w a ys i n whic h y our pri nte r c an b e ass ig ned a T C P/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.

5 Loading print media

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/m

- 16 to 43 lb bond (60 to 163 g/m

- 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m

• 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.

) for the tray 1 and optional tray 2

) for the multi-purpose tray

) for the duplex printing (ML-3051ND only)

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.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

Guidelines for special 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 15

F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and

(59

C and 30o C

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.

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/m 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

(24 lb) or jamming

5.3 <

• 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.

Page 31

Media type Guidelines

Transparencies

Labels

• To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

• Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing temperature.

• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the printer.

• 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.

• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels designed for use in laser printers.

• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

stable at 200° C (392° F), the printer’s fusing temperature.

- 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 (5 inches) 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 printer components.

• Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the printer.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

• 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 of 205° C (400° F) for 0.1 second.

• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and

Preprinted paper

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.

Loading paper

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray

1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb plain paper.

You can purchase an optional tray (tray 2) and attach it below the standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. For order information for an optional tray, see page 7.1.

The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the optional tray 2 shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.

• Do not push the paper width guide far enough to cause the material to warp.

• If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause paper jams.

Using the multi-purpose tray

3 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.

To load paper in the multi-purpose tray:

1 Open the multi-purpose tray and unfold the multi-purpose tray

extension, as shown.

2 If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to

separate the pages before loading.

Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines:

• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.

• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first.

• Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the printer first.

• Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the printer.

• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer first.

• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an uncurled edge toward the printer.

Note

Make sure that you have not loaded too much print material. The print material buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you push it in too far.

Caution

When you print on special material like envelopes, labels, transparencies, or cards, the output location should be the rear cover. Open the rear cover to use it. See page 5.8.

4 Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust

them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

5 When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the

software application. See the Software Section.

For information about setting the paper source and type on the control panel, see page 2.3.

6 After printing, fold the multi-purpose tray extension and close the

multi-purpose tray.

Tips on using the multi-purpose tray

• Load only one size of print media at a time in the multi-purpose tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other types of print media.

• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.

• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.1 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the multi-purpose tray.

• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) sized media on the multi-purpose tray, open the rear cover for straight paper path to avoid paper jams.

• Make sure to open the rear cover when you print on transparencies. If not, they may tear while exiting the printer.

2 Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust

them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

3 When you print a document, set the paper source to Manual Feed

and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software application. See the Software Section.

4 Print a document.

The display shows a message prompting you to load paper and

press Stop (if you use the ML-3050) or OK (if you use the ML-

3051N or ML-3051ND).

Using manual feed mode

You can manually load a sheet of print material in the multi-purpose tray

if you select Manual Feed in the Source option from the Paper tab when you change print settings to print a document. See the Software Section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check

the print quality after each page is printed.

This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading in the multi-purpose tray, except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in the

tray, send print data to print the first page, and press Stop (if you use the ML-3050) or OK (if you use the ML-3051N or ML-3051ND) on the control

panel to print each following page.

1 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

5 Press Stop or OK.

The printer picks up the print material and prints. After one page is printed, the message appears again.

Note

If you do not press the button, after a pause the printer will automatically pick the print material.

Selecting an output location

The printer has two output locations; the rear cover (face up) and the output tray (face down).

rear cover

output tray

The printer sends output to the output tray by default. To use the output tray, make sure that the rear cover is closed.

Printing to the rear cover (Face up)

Using the rear cover, paper comes out of the printer face up.

Printing from the multi-purpose tray to the rear cover provides a straight paper path. Using the rear cover might improve the output quality with special print media.

To use the rear cover, open it by pulling down.

Notes

• If paper coming out of the output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear cover.

• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while the printer is printing.

Printing to the output tray (Face down)

The output tray collects paper face down, in the order in which the sheets were printed. The tray should be used for most print jobs.

Caution

The fuser area inside the rear cover of your printer becomes very hot when in use. Take care when you access this area.

toner cartridge

from its package until ready for use.

Expected cartridge life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% coverage, a new toner

cartridge lasts an average of either 8,000 or 4,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 4,000

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.

Saving Toner

To save toner, press Toner Save on the control panel. The button

backlight turns on.

Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduce

your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality.

Checking the remaining toner

(ML-3051N, ML-3051ND only)

You can check the level of toner left in the cartridge.

If you are having print quality problems, this can help you determine if the problem is caused by low toner.

Redistributing toner cartridge

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

• White streaks or light printing occurs.

• Toner Low appears on the display. (ML-3051N, ML-3051ND only)

• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling

you that the toner level is low.

• The Status LED blinks red.

If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing 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 Open the front cover. 2 Pull the toner cartridge out.

Note

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.

4 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the

cartridge into the opening in the printer.

5 Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves

within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

6 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.

Cautions

• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be hot.

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

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

• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching

this area.

3 Thoroughly roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner

evenly inside the cartridge.

Replacing the toner cartridge

When the toner cartridge is completely empty:

• Toner Low Replace Toner appears on the display. (ML-3051N, ML- 3051ND only)

• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling you that the toner cartridge is empty.

• The Status LED lights red.

At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. For order

information for toner cartridges, see page 7.1.

1 Open the front cover. 2 Pull the toner cartridge out.

3 Remove the new toner cartridge from its bag.

Caution

Do not use sharp objects, such as a knife or scissors, to open

the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of

the cartridge.

Clearing the Toner Low Replace Toner message

When the Toner Low Replace Toner message appears you can

configure not to see this message again not to disturb you.

1 Press Menu until System Setup appears on the bottom line of the

display and press OK.

2 Press the Scroll buttons until Maintenance appears and press OK. 3 Press the Scroll buttons until CLR Empty Msg. appears and press

OK.

4 Select On and press OK.

4 Remove the packing tape and roll the cartridge 5 or 6 items to

distribute the toner.

Thoroughly roll the cartridge to assure maximum copies per cartridge. Save the box and the plastic bag for shipping.

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.

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

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

• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching

this area.

5 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the

cartridge into the opening in the printer.

6 Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves

within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

5 Now the Toner Low Replace Toner message does not appear but

the Replace Toner message will remain for reminding you that the

new cartridge needs to be installed for quality.

Caution

Once you have selected On, this setting will be permanently

written to the memory of the toner cartridge, and this menu will

be disappeared from the Maintenance menu.

Maintenance parts

To avoid print quality and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts and to maintain your printer in top working condition the following items will need to be replaced at the specified number of pages or when the life span of each item has expired.

Items Yield (Average)

Transfer roller 70,000

Pick-up roller 150,000

Clearing paper jams

Note

When removing paper that is jammed in the printer, if possible always pull the paper in the direction that it normally moves so as not to damage internal components. Always pull firmly and evenly; do not jerk the paper. If the paper tears, ensure that all fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a jam will occur again.

When a paper jam occurs, the Status LED lights red. Open and close the front cover. The jammed paper automatically exit the printer.

If the paper does not exit, check the display on the control panel. The message indicating the corresponding location of the paper jam appears. Refer to the table below to locate the paper jam and to clear it:

• 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 occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.

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

• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollowed images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See page 5.3.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it also occurs on a demo page (see page 2.6). For service, contact a service representative.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See page 5.2.

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

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. See page 5.2.

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

• Try printing to the rear cover (face-up).

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See page 5.2.

• Open the rear cover and try printing to the rear cover (face-up).

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

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

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

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

• The paper may not meet paper specifications. See page 5.3.

If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:

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

• 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.

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 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 port.

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overla y containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’ s letterhead, you d o not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. Y ou need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as

you wish them to appear when printed as an overla y.

To save the document as an overlay, access printer properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 12.

Linux

You can use yo ur machine in a Linux environment.

This chapter includes:

• Getting Started

• Installing the Unified Linux Driver

• Using the Unified Driver Configurator

• Configuring Printer Properties

• Printing a Document

Getting Started

The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s Unified Linux Driver package for using your machine with a Linux computer.

After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package allows you to monitor a number of machine devices via fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously.

The Unified Linux Driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You don't need to search for additional components that might be necessary for the Unified Linux Driver software: all required packag es will be carried onto your system and installed automatically; this is possible on a wide set of the most popular Linux clones.

Insert the printer software CD-ROM. The CD-RO M will automatically run.

If the CD-ROM does not automatically run, click the icon at the bottom of the desktop. When the Terminal screen appears, type in:

If the CD-ROM is secondary master and the location to mount is /mnt/cdrom,

[root@localhost root]#mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/ cdrom

[root@localhost root]#cd /mnt/cdro m / L inux [root@localhost root]#./install.sh

Using the Unified Driver Configurator

Unified Linux Driver Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring Printer.

After installing the Unified Linux driver (see page A.3), the Unified Linux Driver Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.

If the CD-ROM does not automatically run, click the icon at the bottom of the desktop. When the Terminal screen appears, type in:

If the CD-ROM is secondary master and the location to mount is /mnt/cdrom,
