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.
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.

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.
Importantwarning:
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.

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:
2
- 16 to 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m
- 16 to 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m
• 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.
• Before purchasing large quantities of paper, ensure that the
paper meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.

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, w rinkled, 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 fo r use in laser printers.
• Avoid using the following paper typ es:
- 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
-
• 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 a way from moisture or
other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15
o
C (59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be
30
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.
• T o prevent mate rials such as transparencies and label sheets
from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

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/m
2
(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 corn e r of th e 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.
Transparencies• To avoid damaging the machine, use onl y
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 adh esive materia l 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
custom-sized
materials
• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3
inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4
mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the
material.

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.
