United States of America

Federal Communications Commission (FCC)

Intentional emitter per FCC Part 15

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. This section is only applicable if these devices are present. Refer to the system label to verify the presence of wireless devices.

Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for use in the United States of America if an FCC ID number is on the system label.

The FCC has set a general guideline of 20 cm (8 inches) separation between the device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities). This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on. The power output of the wireless device (or devices), which may be embedded in your printer, is well below the RF exposure limits as set by the FCC.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Operation of this device is subject to the following two conditions:(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.

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. Contact manufacturer for service.

FCC Statement for Wireless LAN use:

“While installing and operating this transmitter and antenna combination the radio frequency exposure limit of 1mW/cm2 may be exceeded at distances close to the antenna installed. Therefore, the user must maintain a minimum distance of 20cm from the antenna at all times. This device can not be colocated with another transmitter and transmitting antenna.”

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.

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.

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.

iv

•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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Guidelines for special print media

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.
		Note
		If your machine does not feed the
		transparency print media properly, put a
		blank sheet of paper under the
		transparency, and try again.

Media type			Guidelines
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.
Card stock or	•	Do not print on media smaller than 105 mm wide
custom-sized		or 148 mm long.
materials	•	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.
Preprinted	•	Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
paper		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.
