REGULATORY COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS
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, contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices
are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

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
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. E
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.
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.

•Selecting print media
•Changing the tray size
•Loading paper in tray
•Printing on special media
•Setting the default tray and paper
SELECTING PRINT MEDIA
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with your
machine.
Guidelines to select the print media
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.

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 in print media specifications (See "Print media specifications"
on page 110).
•Desired outcome: Th
e print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.
•Bri
ghtness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
r, more vibrant images.
sharpe
•Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
•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 cannot be controlled.
•Befo
re purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it
ets the requirements specifications in this user’s guide and
me
meets your output requirements.
•Using print media that does not meet these specifications may
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by
the warranty or service agreements.
•Using inflammable print media can cause a fire.
•Use designated prin
t media (See "Print media specifications" on
page 110).
The use of inflammable media or foreign materials left in the printer
may lead to overheating of the unit and, in rare cases may cause a
fire.

ABOUT USB MEMORY DEVICE
USB memory devices are available with a variety of memory capacities to
give you more room for storing documents, presentations, music and videos, high resolution photographs, or whatever other files you want to store
or move.
Your machine supports USB memory devices with FAT16/FAT32 and sector size of 512 bytes.
Check your USB memory device’s file system from your dealer.
You must use only an authorized USB memory device with an A plug type
connector.
Use only a USB memory device with metal-shielded connector.
Only use a USB memory device that has obtained compatibility certification;
otherwise, the machine might not recognize it.

the USB memory device with your machine. The files stored in the USB
memory device may be corrupted, or the machine may not automatically
detect it. For details about these features, see device’s User’s Guide.
Direct Print option supported file types:
•PRN: Only files created by provided driver with your machine are com-
patible. PRN files can be created by selecting the Pr
when you print a document. The document will be saved as a PRN file,
rather than printed on paper. Only PRN files created in this fashion can
be printed directly from USB memory device (See "Printing to a file

USING TONER LOW ALERT
CLEANING A MACHINE
Ensure power is off and the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet
before cleaning your 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 best printing condition and use your machine longer.
•Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials con-
taining large amounts of alcohol, so
stances can discolor or distort the cabinet.
•If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with
toner, we recommend you use cloth or tissue dampened with
water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the
air and might be harmful to you.
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, toner and dust particles 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 off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to
cool down.

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 cartridges.
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

ter including generic, store brand,
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-out number may
vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, 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.
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 bad print quality.
•Whe
n moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding
the machine securely, you may wish to remove the consumables before
moving the machine.

After that normal operation of the machine
should be restored. The “stopped” status
might be activated when some problems in
printing occurred. For instance, this could be
an attempt to print a document when the port
is claimed by a scanning application.
•En
sure the port is not busy. Since functional
components of machine (printer and scanner)
share the same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different user
appli
cations to the same port is possible. To
avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a
time is allowed to gain control over the device.
The other user will encounter “device busy”
response. You should open ports configuration and select the port assigned to your

application. If this is the case, you should
either wait for completion of the current job or

that the present application is not functioning
properly.
•Ch
eck if your application has special print
o
ption 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.

version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2
(cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp (Internet
Printing Protocol) printing.Use the socket

of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).

I encounter error
“Cannot open port
device file” when
printing a document.
Avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR
GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress.
Known versions of CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) server break the print job whenever
print option
s are changed and then try to restart
the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux
Driver locks the port while printing, the abrupt
termination of the driver keeps the port locked
and unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this
situation occurs, try to release the port by selecting Relea
se port in Port configuration window.
