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.

Selecting Print Materials
This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting print
materials and loading them into your machine.
This chapter includes:
• Selecting Print Materials
• Loading Paper
• Verifying an Output Location
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 this machine.
See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3. To get the best
possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the tray.
• Weight: 16 ~ 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m
multi-pages feeding, and 16 ~ 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m
bond) for the manual tray and tray with single page
feeding.
• 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.

Guidelines for Paper and Special
Materials
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
material, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use paper and other materials that conform with
the specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on
page 10.3.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn
paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print
quality.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a
texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may
occur.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to
use. 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.
o
• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15
and 30
be between 10 % and 70 %.
• During storage, you should use 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 tray or the tray to avoid paper jams.
• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in
laser printers.
• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and
label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they
print out.
•For envelopes:
• For transparencies:
o
C (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should
Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well
creased folds.
Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.
Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-
adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers.
Before loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they
are undamaged and are not stuck together.
Do not feed stamped envelopes.
Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the
machine.
Do not leave them in the 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.
C
To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to
prolonged sunlight.
Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser
printers.
Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or
have any torn edges.
•For labels:
Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate a fusing
temperature of 200
Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material
between them. 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 load a sheet of them through the machine more
than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass
through the machine.
Do not use labels that are separating from the backing
sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled or otherwise damaged.
Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
• For Card Stock or Custom-sized materials:
Postcards, 3.5 x 5.8 in. (89 x 148 mm) cards and other
custom-sized materials can be printed with this printer.
The minimum size is 3 x 5 in. (76 x 127 mm) and the
maximum size is 8.5 x 14 in. (216 x 356 mm)
Always insert the short-edge into the tray first. If you
want to print in landscape mode, make this selection
through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first
may cause a paper jam.
Do not print on media smaller than 3 in. (76 mm) wide or
5 in. (127 mm) long.
• For preprinted paper:
Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that
will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions
when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of
200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.
Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not
adversely affect any printer rollers.
Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moistureproof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
Before you load preprinted paper as forms and
letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During
the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.
• Do not use

Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper in the tray while
a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Paper
Type, Input Sources, and Capacities” on page 3.1 for
acceptable paper size and capacity for the tray.
Using the Tray
The tray holds 150 sheets of paper.
Load a stack of paper into the tray and print. For details about
loading paper in the tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.3.
To use the special material like envelope, label and card,
remove the stack of plain paper and load one sheet of special
material into the tray.

Receiving Faxes Using the
DRPD Mode
“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which
enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several
different telephone numbers. The particular number someone
uses to call you is identified by different ringing patterns, which
consist of various combinations of long and short ringing
sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who
answer telephones for many different clients and need to know
which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the
phone.
Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax
machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be
answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing
pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax
call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the
extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the
EXT. jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring
Pattern Detection at any time.
Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option,
Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line
by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern
Detection, you will need another telephone line at your
location, or someone available to dial your fax number from
outside.

Pull the toner cartridge out, lightly pushing it down. Set it
on a clean flat surface.

AUTIONS
• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to
touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner
cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality
problems.
:
Cleaning the Outside
Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You
can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to
let any water drip onto or into the machine.
Cleaning the Inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can
accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print
quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning
the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems.
1
Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for
the machine to cool down.
C
AUTIONS
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it
to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of
paper, if necessary.
• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use
the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

Saving toner
To save toner, press the
panel; see “Toner Save Mode” on page 2.11. The button
backlight turns on. Using this feature extends the life of the
toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also
reduces print quality.
Toner Save
Expected Cartridge Life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner
that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5%
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000
pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine
lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be
different depending on the print density of the page you print.
If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.

paper from the tray. If you are printing on special
materials, use one sheet of paper at a time.
• An incorrect type of paper is being used. Use only
paper that meets the specifications required by the
machine. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.3.
• There may be debris inside the machine. Open the
front door and remove the debris.
Use only transparencies specifically designed for laser
printers. Remove each transparency as it exits from
the machine.
Ensure that the paper guides are against both sides of
the envelopes.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be
dirty. Clean the LSU (“Cleaning the Inside” on
page 8.2). Contact a service representative.
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable:
• Change to a lighter weight paper. See “Paper
Specifications” on page 10.3.
• Check the machine’s environment: very dry (low
humidity) or high humidity (higher than 80% RH)
conditions can increase the amount of background
shading.
• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one.
See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.4.
• Clean the inside of the machine. See “Cleaning the

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See
“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 8.4.
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the
page at even intervals:
• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive
mark occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet several
times to clean the cartridge; see “Cleaning the Drum”
on page 8.5. After the printout, if you still have the
same problems, remove the toner cartridge and install
a new one. See “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on
page 8.4.
• Parts of the machine may have toner on them. If the
defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will
likely correct itself after a few more pages.
• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a

Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly
distributed on the printed page.
• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a
different batch of paper. Do not open packages of
paper until necessary so that the paper does not
absorb too much moisture.
• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change
the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that
have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing
on seams can cause problems.
• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of
a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your
software application or the printer properties.
• If characters are improperly formed and producing
hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a
different paper. See “Paper Specifications” on
page 10.3.
• If characters are improperly formed and producing a
wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. For
service, contact a service representative.
• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper
Specifications” on page 10.3.
• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded
correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose
against the paper stack.
• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. Both high
temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. See

• Make sure that you place the document to be
scanned face down on the document glass, or face
up in the Automatic Document Feeder.
• There may not be enough available memory to hold
the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan
function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan
resolution rate.
• Check that the USB or parallel cable is connected
properly.
• Make sure that the USB or parallel cable is not
defective. Switch the cable with a known good
cable. If necessary, replace the cable.
• If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it is
compliant with IEEE 1284 standards.
• Check that the scanner is configured correctly.
Check scan setting in the SmarThru Configuration
or the application you want to use to make certain
that the scanner job is being sent to the correct
port, for example, LPT1.
• Check if the machine is printing received data. If so,
scan the document after the received data has been
printed.
• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.
• Communication speed slows in scan mode because
of the large amount of memory required to analyze
and reproduce the scanned image. Set your
computer to the ECP printer mode through BIOS
setting. It will help to increase the speed. For
details about how to set BIOS, refer to your
computer User’s Guide.

Common Linux Problems
ProblemPossible Cause and Solution
The machine
doesn’t print.
• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system.
Open MFP configurator and switch to the Printers tab in
Printers configuration window to look at the list of
available printers. Make sure that your machine is
displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new
printer wizard to set up your device.
• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers
configuration and select your machine on the printers list.
Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its
status contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the
Start
button. After that normal operation of the printer
should be restored. The "stopped" status might be
activated when some problems in printing occurred. For
instance, this could be an attempt to print document
when MFP port is claimed by a scanning application.
• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional
components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same
I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous
access of different “consumer” application to the same
MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one
of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the
device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device
busy” response. You should open MFP ports configuration
and select the port assigned to your printer. In the
Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by
some other application. If this is the case, you should
wait for completion of the current job or should press
Release port button, if you are sure that the present
owner is not functioning properly.
Check if your application has special print option such
as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command
line parameter then remove it to print properly. For
Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and
edit command line parameter in the command item.

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via SLPR
utility, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known
versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print
options are changed and then try to restart the job from
the beginning. Since Linux MFP driver locks MFP port while
printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port
locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs.
If this situation occurred, please, try to release the MFP
port.

Overview
Your machine accepts a variety of print materials, such as cutsheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content
paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size
paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and
moisture content, are important factors affecting the machine’s
performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet
the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide can cause the
following problems:
•Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the machine.
N
OTES
:
• Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result
of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and

:
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature
inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the
paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use
inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200
°C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).

Paper Storage Environment
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed
operation.
Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be
at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.
Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses
moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to
condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners
remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened
and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.
Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to
increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any
excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as
paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This
can cause paper jams.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be
used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long
periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which
can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to
large supplies of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more
potential for environment damage, especially if they are not
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained
to ensure optimum performance. The required condition is 20
to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of 45 % to 55
%. The following guidelines should be considered when
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to
rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the
machine environment is subject to extremes, unwrap
only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s
operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.
Envelopes
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within
a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not
exceed 20 lb (75 g/m
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat
with less than 0.25 in. (6 mm) 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.
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following
size ranges.
MinimumMaximum
3 x 5 in.
(76 x 127 mm)
N
OTES
:
• Load only one sheet of paper at a time to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any media
with a length less than 5.5 in. (140 mm). This may be
caused by paper that has been affected by environmental
conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are
storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to
“Paper Storage Environment” on page 10.5.

Page 75
Envelopes with Double Side Seams
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both
ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style
may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the
way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Labels
C
AUTIONS
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels
recommended for laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always load one sheet of paper at a
time to print labels.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and
never print on a partial sheet of labels.
:
Correct
Incorrect
Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one
flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with
the heat and pressure in the machine. The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even
damage the fuser.
Envelope Margins
The following gives typical address margins for a commercial
#10 or DL envelope.
Type of AddressMinimumMaximum
Return address0.6 in. (15 mm)2 in. (51 mm)
Delivery address2 in. (51 mm)3.5 in. (90 mm)
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at
180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces
between the labels, causing serious jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more
than 5 in. (13 mm) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or
other indications of separation.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand
180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

N
OTES
:
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than
0.6 in. (15 mm) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams
meet.
Envelope Storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during
printing.
All applications should be closed on your PC before beginning
installation.

Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need
to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only
tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your
document.
Creating a New Page Overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay
containing your logo or image.
1
Create or open a document containing text or an image for
use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as
you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay.

To save the document as an overlay, access printer

Scanning Using Samsung
Scanning with your machine lets you turn pictures and text into
digital files on your computer. Then you can fax or e-mail the
files, display them on your web site or use them to create
projects that you can print using Samsung SmarThru software
or the WIA driver.

:
• Check the Operating System(s) that are compatible
with your printer. Please refer to the OS Compatibility
section of Printer Specifications in your Printer User’s
Guide.
• You can check your printer name in the supplied CDROM.
• The maximum resolution that can be achieved
depends upon various factors, including computer
speed, available disk space, memory, the size of the
image being scanned, and bit depth settings. Thus,
depending on your system and what you are scanning,
you may not be able to scan at certain resolutions,
especially using enhanced dpi.
