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.
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.

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, please contact your local Radio
Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated
and use may not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in
your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time.
Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer)
emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and
recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use.
Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to 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 in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of
common restrictions are listed below:
v
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. Please 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.
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.
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.
Please 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.
Warning
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.

from the SyncThru Web Service. You can configure basic wireless
settings, such as SSID, Operation Mode and WPA Shared Key. You can
retrieve basic settings by selecting a wireless network.
Configuring basic network settings
If you do not know about your wireless environment, please ask the
network administrator.
Note
Prior to wireless network settings, you should set IP address for
the machine first. See "Using SetIP program" on page 3.2.
1 Enter your machine’s IP address as the URL in a browser and click
Go to access the web site of your machine.
5 Select Network Name(SSID) in SSID Setup.
• SSID: SSID(Service Set Identifier) is a name that identifies a
wireless network. Access points and wireless devices attempting
to connect to a specific wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is case-sensitive.
• Operation Mode: Operation Mode refers to the type of wireless
connections.
- Ad-hoc: allows wireless devices to communicate directly with
each other in a peer-to-peer environment.
- Infrastructure: allows wireless devices to communicate with
each other through an access point.
6 Click Next.
If wireless security setting window appears, enter the registered
password and click Next.
• Operation Mode is Infrastructure:
- None: This is used when the validation of a wireless device’s
identity and data encryption are not required for your network.
Open system is used for IEEE 802.11 authentication.
- Static WEP: This uses the WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
algorithm suggested by IEEE 802.11 standard for security. Static
WEP security mode requires a proper WEP key for data
encryption, decryption, and IEEE 802.11 authentication.
- WPA Personal: You can select WPA-PSK to authenticate the
print server based on WPA Pre-Shared Key. This uses a shared
secret key (generally called Pre Shared Key passphrase) that is
manually configured on the access point and each of its clients.
This is suitable for users who want to use WPA but do not have a
RADIUS server installed on their network.

Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, 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.
Note
• 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.
Caution
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.
Guidelines for selecting and storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, or other print materials, keep these
guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on
page 4.3.
• 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 machines.
• Avoid using the following media 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 print media 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 print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C.
The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic
container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating
your paper.
• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the tray to avoid
paper jams.
• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from
sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Media type Guidelines
Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only
transparencies designed for use in laser
machines.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be
able to withstand the machine’s fusing
temperature. Check your machine’s specification
to view the fusing temperature, see page 11.1.
• 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.
Caution
Recommended media: Transparency for a
Color Laser Printers produced by HP,
Xerox and 3M. It is not recommended to
use paperbacked transparencies such as
Xerox 3R91334, which can cause a jam or
be scratched.
Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels
designed for use in laser machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following
factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be
stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.
Check your machine’s specification to view the
fusing temperature, see page 11.1.
- 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 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.
Note
If your machine does not feed the
transparency print media properly, put a
blank sheet of paper under the
transparency, and try again.
Card stock or
custom-sized
materials
Preprinted
paper
• Do not print on media smaller than 105 mm wide
or 148 mm long.
• In the software application, set margins at least
6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.
Note
If you experience jams with card stock
feeding, turn the paper around and try
again.
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the
printer’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second.
Check your machine’s specification to view the
fusing temperature, see page 11.1.
• 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.
