•Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the
manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.
•To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the
available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 62).
•Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them
into the manual feeder.
•When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines
(see "Printing on special media" on page 30).
•When the machine is in a power save mode, the machine does not feed

2. Learning the Basic Usage
Envelope
Printing successfully on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.
To print an envelope, place it as shown in the following figure.
If you select Envelope from the Printing Preferences window, but the printed
images get easily erased, select Thick Envelope and try printing again.
However, this might cause some noise when printing.
•When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-Weight: should not exceed 90 g/m
2
otherwise; jams may occur.
-Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and should not
contain air.
-Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.
-Temperature: should resist 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
corner of the envelope.
1Acceptable
2Unacceptable
•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 (about 170°C (338 °F)). 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 from the
edges of the envelope.
•Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

2. Learning the Basic Usage
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
printers.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.
Check your machine’s specifications to view the fusing temperature
(about 170°C (338°F)).
-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: 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.

2. Learning the Basic Usage
Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn
the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
•Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).
•Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely
affect machine rollers.
•Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry.
During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing
print quality.

3. Maintenance
Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these recommendations to ensure
optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used. This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The toner cartridge
should remain in its original and unopened package until installation – if original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the cartridge with paper and
store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is removed from
the printer, follow the instructions below to store the toner cartridge properly.
•Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
•Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it were installed in the machine.
•Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
-Humidity range less than 20% and greater than 80%.
-An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
-Direct sunlight or room light.
-Dusty places.
-A car for a long period of time.
-An environment where corrosive gases are present.
-An environment with salty air.

3. Maintenance
1
Handling instructions
•Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge.
•Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
•Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can
cause internal damage and toner spillage.
2
Toner cartridge usage
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of non-Samsung
brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand, refilled, or
remanufactured toner cartridges.
Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused
by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner
cartridges.
3
Estimated cartridge life
Estimated cartridge life the life of the toner cartridge (or imaging unit) yield
depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield
may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or
media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the
toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more often.
43
3. Maintenance
Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
•White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side.
•The Toner LED blinks orange.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still
occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
•Before opening the top cover, close the output support first.
•If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

3. Maintenance
Cleaning the machine
If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep it in the best printing
condition and use your machine longer.
•Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the
cabinet.
•If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend you use a cloth or tissue dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum
cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful to you.
•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 and reduces these problems.

Getting started
Understanding your network type
Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the
machine at a time.
Wireless network name and Network Password
Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up,
a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Password are
created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information
before proceeding with the machine installation.
Infrastructure mode
This is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs
(Small Office/ Home Office). This mode uses an access point to
communicate with the wireless machine.
Ad hoc mode
This mode does not use an access point. The wireless
computer and wireless machine communicate directly.

Printing quality problems
If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, there might be a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem.
ConditionSuggested Solutions
Light or faded print•If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page, the toner supply is low. Install a new toner cartridge (see "Replacing the
toner cartridge" on page 44).
•The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough.
•If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and turn
the toner save mode off. See the help screen of the printer driver.
•A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine
(see "Cleaning the machine" on page 46).
•The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page
46). If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
The top half of the paper is
printed lighter than the rest of
the paper
The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.
•Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled (see

Toner specks•The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough.
•The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 46).
•The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 46).
DropoutsIf faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:
•A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.
•The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper.
•The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
•Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set type to Thick or Thicker (see
"Opening printing preferences" on page 36).
If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
White Spots If white spots appear on the page:
•The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from paper falls to the inner components within the machine, so the transfer roller may be
dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 46).
•The paper path may need cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 46).

Black backgroundIf the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:
•Change to a lighter weight paper.
•Check the environmental conditions: very dry conditions or a high level of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can increase the amount
of background shading.
•Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 44).
•Thoroughly redistribute the toner (see "Redistributing toner" on page 43).
Toner smear•Clean the inside of the machine (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 44).

5. Troubleshooting
Vertical repetitive defectsIf marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:
•The toner cartridge may be damaged. If you still have the same problem, remove the toner cartridge and, install a new one (see
"Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 44).
•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 service representative.
Background scatterBackground 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.
Or select Thick Envelope from the Printing Preferences window (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 36).
•If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application
or in Printing Preferences (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 36). Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example:
If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain actually used, an overcharging can occur causing this copy quality problem.
•If you are using a new toner cartridge, redistribute the toner first (see "Redistributing toner" on page 43).
Toner particles are around bold
characters or pictures
The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.
•Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled (see
"Opening printing preferences" on page 36).
•Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example: If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain actually used, an overcharging can
occur causing this copy quality problem.

ConditionSuggested solutions
Printing with more than 2
copies does not work.
The problem occurs on Ubuntu 12.04 due to problem in standard CUPS filter 'pdftops' (actual output point it out exactly) and it has
been fixed already. Updating 'cups-filters' package from version 1.0.17 to version 1.0.18 fixes the problem ('pdftops' is a part of 'cups-
filters' package).
Printing PDF files does not
work.
The problem occurs on openSUSE 12.3 and it has some problem in standard CUPS filter 'pdftops' that may affect certain PDF
documents (it seems this issue relates somehow to fonts used in PDF). Due to this problem, incorrect Postscript is generated and device
failed to print it. We are waiting for the patch.
Unchecking collate option in
Print dialog does not work.
For some distributions, GNOME Print Dialog has an issue handling collate option. As workaround, set the default value of collate option
to 'False' using system's Printing utility(execute "system-config-printer" in Terminal program).
Printing always works with
duplex.
This duplex issue was in Ubuntu 9.10 cups package and was already fixed in security updates for this package, starting from cups
version 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.2
