Important Precautions and Safety Information

When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to people:

1.Read and understand all instructions.

2.Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

3.Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the literature accompanying the machine.

4.If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for assistance.

5.Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket and/or telephone jack before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.

6.Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall, causing serious damage.

7.Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater, air conditioner or ventilation duct.

8.Do not allow anything to rest on the power. Do not locate your machine where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

9.Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

10.Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone or PC interface cords.

11.Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or cabinet openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.

12.Your machine may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type machine). In this case, replace the cover after placing document on the scan glass, by holding and moving it down slowly until it seats on its location.

13.To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

14.Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, PC and AC wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•When any part of the power cord, plug or connecting cable is damaged or frayed.

•If liquid has been spilled into the machine.

•If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.

•If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.

•If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged. •If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

15.Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the machine to normal operation.

16.Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power and telephone cord for the duration of the lightning storm.

17.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

18.Use only No.26 AWG or larger telephone line cord.

Fax Branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission the following information:

(1)the date and time of transmission

(2)identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the message; and

(3)telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or individual.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment operations or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.

Ringer Equivalence Number

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded” the line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.

6

WARNING:

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service, providing that they:

a)promptly notify the customer.

b)give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.

c)inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

2.1 Getting started

Selecting a location

Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation. Allow extra space for opening 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.

Clearance space

•Front: 482.6 mm (enough space so that the paper tray can be removed)

•Back: 100 mm (enough space for ventilation)

•Right: 100 mm (enough space for ventilation)

•Left: 100 mm (enough space for ventilation)

Installing the toner cartridge

1 Open the front cover.

2Remove the toner cartridge from its bag. Do not use a knife or other sharp object as it might scratch the drum of the toner cartridge.

3Roll the toner cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the toner cartridge.

Thoroughly rolling the toner cartridge will assure maximum copies per toner cartridge.

4 Remove the paper protecting the toner cartridge.

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.

2.2 Getting started

CAUTION:

•To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if left exposed for more than a few minutes.

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

5Hold the toner cartridge by the handle. Slowly insert the toner cartridge into the opening in the machine.

6Tabs on the sides of the toner cartridge and corresponding grooves within the machine will guide the toner cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

1Groove

2Tab

7Close the front cover. Make sure that the front cover is securely closed.

NOTE: When printing text at 5% coverage, you can expect a toner cartridge life of approximately 3,000 pages. (1,000 pages for the toner cartridge that is shipped with the machine.)

Loading paper

The paper input tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb (75 g/m2) plain paper.

1Pull open the paper input tray and remove it from the machine.

2Fan the edges of the paper stack to separate the pages. Then tap the stack on a flat surface to even it up.

3Insert the paper stack into the paper input tray with the side to be printed on facing down.

NOTE: If you want to load a different sized paper, you need to adjust the paper guides. For details, see page 2.4.

2.3 Getting started

4Pay attention to the paper limit mark on both inside walls of the paper input tray. Paper overloading may cause paper jams.

5Insert and slide the paper input tray back into the machine.

NOTE: After you load paper, you need to set up your machine for the paper type and size you loaded. See page 3.6 for copying, or the Software Section for PC-printing. The settings made from the printer driver override the settings on the control panel.

Changing the size of the paper in the paper input tray

To load longer sizes of paper, such as Legal-sized paper, you need to adjust the paper guides to extend the paper input tray.

1After pressing and unlatching the guide lock, slide the paper length guide out completely to extend the paper input tray to its full length.

2After inserting paper into the paper input tray, squeeze the front paper length guide and slide it until it lightly touches the end of the paper stack.

Selecting print materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with your machine. Paper 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:

• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for your project.

•Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper input tray.

•Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:

- 16 to 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m2) bond for the paper input tray

- 16 to 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m2) bond for the manual feeder.

•Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and

produce sharper, more vibrant images.

•Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

NOTES:

• Some paper 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.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print materials

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

•Always use paper and other materials that conform with the specifications listed on page 3.2.

•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 paper 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 paper 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 materials at temperatures between 15o C and 30o C (59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

•Store unused paper in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

•Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the manual feeder to avoid paper jams.

•To prevent materials such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

3.3

Loading original documents and paper

Guidelines for special materials

Paper Type	Guidelines
Envelopes	• 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/m2 (24 lb) or jamming 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 machine 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 extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.

Acceptable

Unacceptable

•Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing temperature of 208° C (406.4° 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.

Paper Type	Guidelines
Transparencies	• To avoid damaging the machine, use only
	transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
	• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to
	withstand 208° C (406.4° F), the machine’s fusing
	temperature.
	• 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.
Labels	• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels
	designed for use in laser printers.
	• When selecting labels, consider the following
	factors:
	- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable
	at 208° C (406.4° F), the machine’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 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	• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3
custom-sized	inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
materials	• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4
	mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the
	material.

3.4

Loading original documents and paper

Paper Type	Guidelines
Preprinted paper	• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink
	that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
	emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
	temperature of 208° C (406.4° F) for 0.1 second.
	• 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.

Loading paper
