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: T he p rint me dia yo u choo se shoul d be app ropr iate 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 me et all of the guidel ines in this s ection an d
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of
improper handling, una cc ept abl e te mperature and humidity levels,
or other variables over which Samsung has no control.

• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that

Guidelines for special print media

MEDIA TYPE GUIDELINES

Envelopes • Successful printin g on en velop es depen ds upo n the

quality of the envelopes. Whe n selecting enve lopes,
consider the following factors:

- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should
not exceed 90 g/m

- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should
lie flat with less than 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 during operat ion.

• Use only well-co nstructed envelop es with sharp an d
well creased folds.

• Do not use stamped envelopes.

• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows,
coated lining, sel f-adhes ive s eals, or ot her sy ntheti c
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 corner of the envelope.

or jamming m ay occur.

1 Acceptable
2 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 for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s
specification to view the fusing temperature, see
page 82. The extra flaps and strips might cause
wrinkling, creasin g, or jams, and may even dam ag e
the fuser.

• For the best p rint quality, positi on m arg ins no closer
than 15 mm from the edges of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s
seams meet.

Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

designed for use in laser m achines.

- 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 82.

- 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 w rinkled, bubb led, or otherw ise
damaged.

Card stock or
custom-sized
materials

Preprinted
paper

• Do not print on media smaller than 7 6 mm wide or
356 mm long.

• In the software application, set margins at least

6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.

• 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 82.

• 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 fus ing proces s, wet ink c an com e off
preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Receiving faxes using DRPD mode

Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables an 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 (DRPD) feature, your fax
machine can learn the ring pattern you desi gnate to be answe red by the fax
machine. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be
recognized and answe r ed a s a fax cal l, a nd a ll o t her ring ing patterns will be
forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into
the EXT socket. You can easily suspend or change DRPD at any time.

Before using the DRPD option , Dist inct ive R ing s ervice must be ins talled on

58 _Maintenance

MAINTAINING THE CARTRIDGE

Toner cartridge storage

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in
mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.

• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The machine warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.

Expected cartridge life

The life of the toner c artridge yiel d depends on the am ount of ton er that prin t
jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the
print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be
affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media
size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge
more often.

Redistributing toner

When a toner is low, faded or light areas may appear. You can temporarily
improve print quality by redistributing the toner.

• The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on
the display.

• The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you
which cartridge is low on toner.

1. Completely open the front cover.

2. Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the

cartridge from the machine.

3. Holding both handles on the toner c art ridge, thoroughly rock it from side
to side to evenly distribute the toner.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry
cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into
fabric.

4. Slide the toner cartridge back into the machine.

• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of the
toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material. Use the
handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching this area.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer belt.

• If you leave the front cov er op en fo r mo re th an a few mi nu tes , the
OPC drum can be exposed to li ght. This will cause dama ge to the
OPC drum. Close the front cover should the installation need to
be halted for any reason.

5. Close the front cover. Make sure the cover is securely latched.
If the front cover is not completely closed, the machine will not

operate.

Maintenance_59

REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

When the toner cartridge is completely empty, you must replace the toner
cartridge.

• Check if Gimp Front-end has “Xs ane: Device

Avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR
GUI, 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 j ob from th e
beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks port
while printing, the abrupt termination of the
driver keeps the port loc k ed and therefore
unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this
situation occurred, try to release the port.

ADF

An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a mechanism that will
automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can
scan some amount of the paper at once.

AppleTalk

AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for
computer networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984)
and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.

BIT Depth

A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to
represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color
depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits
increases, the num ber of poss ible col ors becomes impractical ly large fo r
a color map. 1-bit co lor is com monly call ed as mon ochrome o r black an d
white.

BMP

A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows
graphics subsystem (GDI), a nd used c ommonly as a si mple grap hics file
