8_Safety information

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.

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.

You should also know that:

Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.

If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as your machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line with your machine.

If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and electronic specialty stores.

When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually test the emergency number.

This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.

This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

Safety information_9

REPLACING THE FITTED PLUG (FOR UK ONLY)

Important

The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you have another fuse cover.

Contact the people from you purchased the machine.

The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.

If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.

You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you plug it into a socket.

Important warning:

You must earth this machine.

The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:

Green and Yellow: Earth

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do the following:

You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter “E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or green.

You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N” or colored black. You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L” or colored red. You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

Changing the size of the paper in the paper tray

Loading paper

LOADING ORIGINALS

You can use the scanner glass or ADF to load an original for copying, scanning, and sending a fax.

On the scanner glass

Make sure that no originals are in the ADF. If an original is detected in the ADF, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass. To get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images, use the scanner glass.

1. Lift and open the scanner lid.

2.Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with the registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.

Printing on special print materials

Adjusting the output support

Setting the paper size and type

3. Close the scanner lid.

• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy quality and toner consumption.

Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the printout. Always keep it clean.

If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the scanner lid until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm, start copying with the lid open.

In the ADF

Using the ADF, you can load up to 30 sheets (SCX-4x24 Series), 50 sheets (SCX-4x28 Series) of paper (75 g/m2, 20 lb bond) for one job.

When you use the ADF:

Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm (5.6 x 5.8 inches) or larger than 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).

Do not attempt to load the following types of paper:

-carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper

-coated paper

-onion skin or thin paper

-wrinkled or creased paper

-curled or rolled paper

-torn paper

Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.

Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry before loading.

Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.

Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents having other unusual characteristics.

1.Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading originals.

Loading originals and print media_ 29

2.Load the original face up into the ADF. Make sure that the bottom of the original stack matches the paper size marked on the document input tray.

3. Adjust the document width guides to the paper size.

Dust on the ADF glass may cause black lines on the printout. Always keep it clean.

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 machine. 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.

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:

The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are described later in this section.

Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.

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.

• 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.

Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.
