Maintaining the Toner Cartridge

Toner Cartridge Storage

Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you are ready to use it.

To prevent damage to toner cartridge, do not expose it to light.

Toner Cartridge Life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a Samsung toner cartridge lasts an average of 8000 pages in simplex mode, depending on which toner cartridge is installed. This assumes that print DENSITY and ECONO menu items are set to default.

Distributing the Toner

When toner is low, faded or light area might appear on a printed page. You might be able to temporarily improve print quality by distributing the toner.

Caring for Your Printer

Procedure

To distribute the toner, proceed as follows.

1. Open the top cover by pushing the button on the side of the printer.

2. Remove the toner cartridge from the printer.

Caring for Your Printer

3. Rotate the toner cartridge and gently shake it from side to side to distribute the toner.

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

If the print remains light, install a new toner cartridge.

Caring for Your Printer

Cleaning the Printer

To maintain print quality, you should clean the printer.

●

Never use alcohol or solvent based cleaning agents to clean the printer as they may damage the printer casing and components.

●

Never use a hard-bristled brush or abrasive pad.

Procedure

To clean your printer, proceed as follows.

1. Check that the printer is powered off and disconnected from power point.

2. Remove the paper from MP tray.

Caring for Your Printer

3. Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge.

4. Use a soft cloth to remove any dust.

5. If the outer casing or the paper feed guides are dirty, clean them with

3. a soft, clean cloth, slightly dampened with a gentle detergent.

6. Clean the inside of the printer with a damp cloth

7. Replace the toner cartridge, close the top cover, plug in the power cord, and turn the printer on.

While cleaning the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller(the black, rubber roller, located under neath the toner cartridge). Skin oils on the roller can cause print quality problems.

Caring for Your Printer

Cleaning LSU(Laser Scanning Unit)

To obtain high quality from your printer, clean the LSU when characters have lines running through them.

1. Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge.

2. Pull up on the LSU cleaner and put it on the LSU.

3. Slide the LSU cleaner horizontally across a track on the top of the LSU.
