Paper Type and Size  
Satisfactory print and receive quality can be obtained with many types of  
plain paper. Since the quality of plain paper varies widely, test the print  
quality before buying large quantities of paper. Your machine uses a  
variety of papers including:  
• Xerographic paper  
• Bond paper  
• Dual-purpose paper  
Because all papers vary in physical characteristics, you can receive  
mixed results from different packages of paper even through the  
packages contain the same paper. If you encounter undesirable results,  
try the other side of the paper, a different type, or another package of  
the same kind of paper.  
DO NOT use the following types of paper with your machine:  
• Continuous form feed paper  
• Synthetic paper  
• Thermal paper  
• Multi-sheet forms and documents  
• Chemically treated paper  
• Papers with raised, embossed lettering  
To load paper with a preferred print side:  
• If you are using xerographic paper, load the paper with the preferred  
print side facing down.  
• If you are using letterhead or bond paper, load the paper with the  
preferred side facing up.  
The following papers can be used in your machine for fax:  
• Letter : 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11.0 in.) - 60 g/m2 ~ 90 g/m2 (16 ~ 24 lb)  
• A4 : 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 in.) - 60 g/m2 ~ 90 g/m2 (16 ~ 24 lb)  
• Legal : 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14.0 in.) - 60 g/m2 ~ 90 g/m2 (16 ~ 24 lb)

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 on 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  
recognised 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 setup Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, you will need  
another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial  
your FAX number from outside.  
Select ON to turn this feature on.  
Select OFF to turn this feature off.  
Select SET to setup or change the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection.  
The LCD displays ‘WAITING RING. Call your fax number from another  
telephone. It is not necessary to place the call from a fax machine.  
When your machine begins to ring, do not answer the call. The  
machine requires several rings to learn the pattern.  
When the machine completes learning, the LCD displays ‘END DRPD  
SETUP.  
With the DRPD feature active, ‘DRPD’ appears in the display and the  
previously set reception mode is ignored. If you turn off DRPD, the  
machine returns to any previously set reception mode.  
Notes  
:
DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or  
connect the machine to another telephone line.  
After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that  
the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a call placed to a  
different number assigned to that same line to be sure the call is  
forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged  
into the EXT. jack.

Preparing Documents for Faxing or Copying  
To fax or copy documents that are printed on standard letter or A4 size  
paper, follow these guidelines.  
• Do not attempt to feed the following types of documents into the  
machine: - wrinkled, curled, or folded paper  
- chemically processed paper (pressure-sensitive paper,  
carbon-coated paper, etc.)  
- coated paper (glossy, etc.)  
- thin paper (onion skin, airmail paper, etc.)  
- thick paper  
- small or short paper (such as a label, voucher, etc.)  
- paper made of cloth or metal  
To feed any of these documents, make copies using a standard copy  
machine and insert the copies into the document tray.  
• Remove all staples and paper clips before feeding the document.  
• Ensure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry  
before feeding the document.  
• Do not feed documents with pages that are different sizes or different  
thicknesses.

Setting Document Resolution and Contrast  
We recommend sending documents printed using a typewriter, felt tip pen,  
black ink, or laserwriter. The paper should be white or very light, and of  
normal weight – not cardboard. Blue lines on a ruled pad do not fax well.  
To send normal documents, there is no need to adjust the resolution and  
the contrast.  
To send documents with unusual contrast characteristics, including  
photographs, adjust the resolution and contrast.  
Resolution  
To increase sharpness and clarity, press the Resolution button repeatedly  
after loading a document until you find the desired mode. You can choose  
between STANDARD, FINE, or SUPER FINE mode.  
STANDARD (200X 100 dpi) works well for documents with normal sized  
characters.  
FINE (200 X 200 dpi) is good for documents containing small characters,  
thin lines, or print from a dot-matrix printer.  
SUPER FINE (300 X 300 dpi) works well for documents containing  
extremely fine details. SUPER FINE works only if the remote machine also  
has the SUPER FINE features.  
Contrast  
To compensate for the brightness or darkness of your document, press the  
Rcv. Mode/Contrast button repeatedly after loading a document until  
you find the desired mode. You can choose between NORMAL, DARKEN,  
LIGHTEN, or PHOTO.  
NORMAL works well for normal documents.  
DARKEN works well for light print or faint pencil markings. The light  
image and text on the document will be darker on the printed page.  
LIGHTEN works well for dark print. The dark image and text on the  
document will be lighter on the printed page.  
PHOTO is used when faxing photographs or other documents containing  
color or shades of gray. When you choose this mode, you should set the  
resolution to FINE.

Receiving a Fax  
About Reception Modes  
Your machine has four reception modes:  
• In FAX mode, the machine answers an incoming call and immediately  
goes into receive mode.  
• In AUTO mode, the machine answers an incoming call expecting to  
receive a fax. If the machine does not sense a fax signal, it will  
continue to sound the ringing tone to tell you it is a phone call. If you  
do not lift the handset during the ringing, the machine will switch to  
automatic fax reception mode.  
• In ANS/FAX mode, the answering machine answers an incoming call,  
and the caller can leave a message on the answering machine. If the  
fax machine senses a fax tone on the line, the call automatically  
switches to the fax machine.  
Note: To use the ANS/FAX mode, attach an answering machine to  
the EXT. jack on the back of your machine (see page A.2).  
• In TEL mode, the automatic fax reception is turned off. You can  
receive a fax by picking up the handset or pressing the OHD,  
and then pressing Start/Enter on the front panel of your SF-555P  
product.  
• In DRPD mode, you can receive a call using the Distinctive Ring  
Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature. “Distinctive Ring” is a telephone  
company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to  
answer several different telephone numbers. This mode is displayed  
when you have set up the distinctive ring pattern. For details on this  
feature, see page 3.6.

Loading Paper for Receiving Faxes  
The instructions for loading paper in the paper input tray are the same  
whether you are printing, faxing, or copying, except that faxes can only  
be printed on letter-, A4-, or legal-sized paper. See “Loading Paper” on  
page 1.15 for instructions.  
After loading paper for receiving faxes, set the paper size to the size of  
paper you normally load in the paper input tray. SF-555P product uses  
this setting when printing reports and determining autoreduction for  
incoming faxes. See page 3.3 to set the paper size.  
Note: As for SF-555P, the printing function does not use this  
setting. If you are loading special-sized media only for your  
current print job, do not change this setting. After you have  
finished printing, reload the original paper.  
Receiving Automatically in FAX Mode  
The SF-555P is preset to FAX mode at the factory. If you have changed  
the fax mode, take the following steps to receive faxes automatically:  
1. Press and hold down Rcv. Mode/Contrast on the front panel  
repeatedly until the display shows ‘FAX MODE.  
2. When you receive a call, the machine answers the call on a specified  
number of rings and receives a fax automatically. To change the  
number of rings. See ‘Setting User-Selectable System Options’ on  
page 3.2.

the line, it automatically starts to receive fax.  
Notes:  
• If you have set your machine to ANS/FAX mode and your  
answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is  
connected to your machine, your machine will automatically go  
into FAX mode after 6 rings.  
• If your answering machine has a ‘user-selectable ring counter,  
set the machine to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.  
• If you are in TEL mode (manual reception) when the answering  
machine is connected to your machine, you must switch off the  
answering machine, or the outgoing message from the answering

Polling  
What is Polling?  
Polling is used when one fax machine requests another to send a  
document. This is useful when the person with the original document is  
not in the office. The person to receive the document calls the machine  
holding the original and requests that the document be sent. In other  
words, it “polls” the machine holding the original.  
Polling Transmission  
You can program the fax machine to send documents in your absence  
when polled by a remote fax machine. A polling code is used to prevent  
unauthorized polling of your machine. When you secure your machine in  
this manner, only those who know the poll code can poll your machine.  
1. Load your document face down with the top edge first going into the  
document feeder, and adjust the resolution and contrast. For details,  
see page 3.8.  
2. Press Advanced FAX on the front panel. The display shows the first  
menu; BROADCASTING.  
3. Press or until ‘SEND POLLING’ appears, and press Start/Enter  
to access the Send Polling menu.

preset to 0000 at the factory which represents no poll code.  
POLLCODE [0000]  
5. To use a poll code, enter the 4-digit code (except for 0000), then  
press Start/Enter. Or,  
If you do not want to secure the transmission with a poll code, press  
Start/Enter when the display shows 0000 for the poll code, or press  
0000.

Print Media  
Selecting Print Media  
The type of media you select affects the performance and print quality.  
Selecting Media Types  
Most photocopy paper, postcards, index cards, transparencies, envelopes,  
and labels will work your printer, particularly paper that is marked for  
use in laser printers. For the best results, use one of the papers  
developed especially for an laser printer.  
What to Consider  
Desired outcome. The paper you choose should be appropriate for  
the project. For example, use greeting card paper when making party  
invitations.  
Size. Choose any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters  
of the printer.  
Weight. Use 20~24-pound or 75~90 g/m2 plain paper for  
multipurpose, everyday use.  
Brightness. Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper,  
more vibrant colors. Use premium photo paper for documents with  
photographs. Use white paper for documents with any other pictures.  
Surface smoothness. The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp  
the printing looks on the paper. Glossy, coated paper works well for  
pictures and charts where you want crisp lines.  
Get the Right Paper  
Your Samsung SF-555P is designed to work well on most common office  
paper types and with quality 25% cotton bond paper. Because your  
printer uses toner to produce an image, paper that accepts toner  
produces the best results. Be sure to test a variety of paper types before  
buying large quantities.

Paper that Might Not Work  
• Highly textured stock, such as linen, may not print evenly because the  
toner can bleed.  
• Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for  
laser printers can jam the printer and repel toner.  
• Multi-part forms, such as duplicate or triplicate forms can wrinkle and  
jam; the toner is also more likely to smear.  
• Paper in poor condition — with tears, dust, wrinkles, curled or bent  
edges, or that doesn’t lie flat can jam the printer.  
• Envelopes with thick or crooked edges; envelopes that are damaged,  
curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped; envelopes that are shiny or  
embossed; or envelopes with clasps or windows.  
Selecting Media Sizes  
The paper input tray can hold up to 150 sheets of 20 Ib (75 g/m2)  
paper. The single-sheet manual input tray is designed to hold one sheet.  
Both can be adjusted to hold media measuring from 3.87 by 6.38

feed automatically. The automatic tray can hold a maximum of 150  
sheets of plain paper. The maximum capacity may be reduced depending  
on the thickness.  
For best results, adjust the paper settings each time you change paper  
(see page 4.14).  
Note: If you experience feeding problems, try printing one at a  
time from the manual input tray. See page 4.5.  
1. Pull the paper input support completely out of the unit.  
2. Prepare the print material for loading.  
For paper:  
- Flex or fan the paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the  
paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.

For transparencies:  
- Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print  
side.  
- Fan the stack of transparencies to prevent feeding failures.  
Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print sides.  
3. Load the print material into the paper tray. Load only as much paper  
as will fit beneath the lip protruding from the paper-length adjuster.  
Neatly stacking the paper before loading will help prevent print  
problems. Do not mix types. See the following directions to load each  
type of print material.  
• Load paper with the print side facing up.  
• Load letterhead paper face up with the top of the page going  
into the tray first.

4. Slide both paper adjusters to fit against the paper’s edges. Ensure  
the paper line flat in the tray.  
Print Side Up  
Most papers prints better on one side than on the other. This is  
especially true for coated or specially treated paper. The print side is  
usually indicated on the paper package. Be sure to insert the paper into  
the paper tray of the printer with the print side up.  
Using the Manual Paper Input Tray  
To load a single envelope, card stock, or specialty paper, use the manual  
paper input tray. When you use the manual input tray, you must feed  
one piece of media at a time. Manual feeding is helpful when printing on  
heavy paper or when experiencing paper jam with the automatic paper  
input tray.

Notes:  
• Make sure that you select the Manual for Paper Source and the  
correct paper size and type from your software application before  
starting your print job. See page 4.14.  
• When you use the manual paper tray, the paper must loaded in  
the automatic paper tray. By doing so, you can prevent the paper  
jam which might occur in the manual tray.  
1. Place the print media in the manual input tray with print side facing  
up and adjust the paper guides to the width of the print media.  
• Load a sheet of the envelope with the flap side facing away from  
you. Make sure that the stamp area is at the top left and the end of  
the envelope with stamp area enters the tray.  
• Load transparencies face up with the adhesive strip on top  
going into the tray first.

Specialty Paper Guidelines  
• Read all instructions that come with special paper for important  
information regarding how to achieve the highest print quality.  
• It is recommended to feed one sheet at a time for special paper types.  
• For transparency film, follow these guidelines:  
- Let printed sheets of film dry completely before storing.  
- When a sheet of film has dried completely, cover its printed side with  
a sheet of plain (not coated) paper before storing; This is  
recommended even if placed in a clear file or plastic holder.  
- Do not leave the film in the paper tray for long periods of time as  
dust and dirt may accumulate, resulting in poor copy quality.  
- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed film to prolonged direct  
sunlight.  
- Store unused papers and films flat. Do not remove papers from their  
protective packaging until ready for use.  
- Store unused film at temperatures between 59oF to 86oF (15oC to 30  
oC). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.  
• For labels, follow these guidelines:  
- Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing  
temperature of 200°C (392°F) for 0.1 second.  
- Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the  
labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing,  
which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause  
damage to printer components.  
- Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once.  
The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the printer.  
- Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are  
wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.  
• If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may  
curl slightly due to the large amount of toner. To print dense graphics,  
try printing on heavier stock.  
• Do not use paper that is thicker than the specifications as it may  
damage the toner cartridge.

Using Page Overlays  
What is an Overlay?  
Dear ABC  
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD as a  
special file format that can be printed on any document you choose.  
Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and  
letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, for example,  
you can create an overlay containing the exact same information as is  
currently on your letterhead. Then when you want to print a letter with  
your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted  
letterhead paper in the printer. You need only to tell the printer to print  
the letterhead overlay on your document.

Cleaning the Machine  
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below every  
time the toner cartridge is replaced or whenever print quality problems  
occur. As much as possible, keep your machine free from dust and  
debris.  
Note  
:
Do not use ammonia-based sprays or volatile solvents such as thinner to  
clean the machine, as these can damage the machines surface.  
• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful no to touch the  
transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge). The oil from your  
hands on the roller can cause print quality problems.  
Cleaning the Outside  
Wipe the outside surfaces of your machine with a soft, clean, and lint-  
free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful  
not to let any water drip onto the machine or inside it.  
Cleaning the Inside  
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can  
accumulate inside the machine. Over time, this buildup can cause print  
quality problems such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning inside the  
printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.  
1. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord, then wait for the  
machine to be cool.  
2. Pulling the cover release buttons toward you, open the cover and  
remove the toner cartridge.  
Note  
: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to  
light for more than a few minute. Cover it with a piece of paper,  
if necessary.  
3. With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spiled toner from  
the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

Managing the Toner Cartridge  
Expected Cartridge Life  
The life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used in  
each print job. For instance, when you print a typical business letter with  
about 5% page coverage, you can expect a toner cartridge life of  
approximately 3,000 pages (1,000 pages only for the toner cartridge  
shipped with your machine). The actual number may vary according to  
the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you  
may need to change the cartridge more often.  
You can extend the life of your toner cartridge by using Toner Save Mode  
on the printer properties (page 4.15) or on the front panel (page 1.22).  
The Toner Save Mode uses less toner than normal printing. The printed  
image is much lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.  
Redistributing the Toner Cartridge  
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or hue  
changes will occur. You can temporarily re-establish the print quality by  
re-distributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.  
1. Open the cover and remove the toner cartridge.  
2. Gently shake the cartridge to distribute the toner evenly inside the  
cartridge.  
3. Reinstall the cartridge and close the cover.  
This is typically successful one time only. When the toner eventually runs  
out, only blank pages will print when a print job is sent, or when a fax is  
received. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. See the  
next page.  
Maintenance

Take the following steps to replace the toner cartridge:  
1. Pulling the cover release buttons toward you, open the cover.  
2. Remove the old toner cartridge. Follow the instructions printed on the  
cartridge box to recycle the used cartridge.  
3. Unpack a new toner cartridge from its plastic bag, and then remove  
the paper rolled the cartridge.

the handle and slide the cartridge down between the cartridge slots  
until it drops into place.  
6. Close the cover firmly until it snaps closed.

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams  
By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you  
should be able to avoid most paper jams. If jams do occur, follow the  
steps outlined in “Clearing Paper Jams” starting on page 7.1. If jams  
occur frequently, make sure that you are following these preventative  
tips:  
• Follow the procedures in “Loading Paper” on page 1.15 to load paper  
properly. Make sure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.  
• Do not overload the paper. Up to 150 sheets can be loaded in the  
automatic paper input tray at a time and the manual input tray holds  
only one sheet at a time.  
• If you are needed to add more sheets of paper while printing, remove  
the remaining paper from the tray at first. Then, reinsert them with the  
new paper. Note that adding new paper into the remains in the tray  
may cause paper jams or multiple feeding.  
• Envelopes with self-stick adhesives may cause wrinkling, creasing, or  
even jams and may even damage your machine.  
• Fan stacks of labels or transparencies before loading them into the  
automatic paper input tray. If jams occur when using the paper input  
tray, try feeding one sheet at a time in the manual input tray.  
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or highly curled paper.  
• Do not mix paper sizes in the paper input tray.  
• Use only recommended print media.  
• Make sure that the recommended print side is facing up when loading  
it in the paper input tray.  
• Keep print media stored in a suitable environment.

Connecting Other Devices to the Phone Line  
You can connect other devices to the same phone line as the SF-555P  
product.  
Deciding What to Connect  
You have connected the SF-555P to the wall jack. Generally, there are  
three other devices that can be connected to the same phone line:  
• a telephone  
• an answering machine  
• an external modem or a computer with an internal modem  
Which, of these you connect to this phone line depends on your  
configuration. Please see the following configurations.  
Situation 1  
You connected the SF-555P to a wall jack with a phone line for  
fax calls only (a dedicated fax line).  
You do not need to connect any other devices. However:  
• You can connect an external modem or a computer with an internal  
modem to this phone line if you want to use the fax line to access the  
Internet or e-mail.  
• You can connect an extra telephone to this wall jack if you would like  
to make outgoing voice calls.  
To connect any of these devices to the same phone line, go to  
“Connecting Other Devices, Overview” on page A.4. If you have another  
wall jack for this phone line, you can connect the extra phone and/or  
external modem or computer with internal modem to the other wall jack.  
Note: Because this is a dedicated fax line, you should never  
have an answering machine or computer connected.  
Or, using computer voicemail, you must connect the  
computer with internal modem or the external modem to  
your dedicated voice line. You will connect to the Internet or  
e-mail using the dedicated voice line.  
Appendix  
A.2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Situation 2  
You connected the SF-555P to a wall jack with a phone line for  
fax and voice calls (a shared line).  
Connect any other devices you have to this phone line. To connect the  
other devices you have to the same wall jack as the product, go to  
Appendix “Connecting Other Devices, Overview” on page A.4.  
If you have another wall jack for this phone line, you can connect some  
of the devices to that wall jack. However, if you have an answering  
machine or computer with voicemail, make sure to connect it to the  
same wall jack as the SF-555P.  
Special Situations  
You have two phone lines coming into one wall jack.  
When you connected the SF-555P, you should have plugged it into a  
phone unit splitter connected to the wall jack. Proceed as if that side of  
the phone unit splitter is a phone line for fax calls only (a dedicated  
line). See “Situation 1” on page A.2.  
You have one phone line with two phone numbers and  
distinctive ring service.  
Use the same guidelines in “Situation 2” above for connecting other  
devices. You can change settings for distinctive ring later.

10. Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power, telephone, or PC interface  
cords.  
11. Never push objects of any kind into the fax machine through case or cabinet  
openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire  
or shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the fax machine.  
Appendix  
A.7  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
12. Your product may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document  
for the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type product). In  
this case, replace the cover after placing document on the scan glass, by  
holding and moving it down slowly until it seats on its location.  
13. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the fax machine.  
Take it to aqualified service technician when repair work is required.  
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other  
risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is  
subsequently used.  
14. Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, PC, and AC wall outlet, and  
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:  
• When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or  
frayed.  
• If liquid has been spilled into the product.  
• If the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
• If the product does not operate properly after instructions have been  
followed.  
• If the product has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.  
• If the product exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.  
15. Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper  
adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require  
extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the product to  
normal operation.  
16. Avoid using this fax machine during a lightning storm. There may be a  
remote risk of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC  
power and telephone for the duration of the lightning storm.  
17. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.  
In Case of Interference  
In normal operation, your SAMSUNG fax machine produces and uses radio-  
frequency energy. In some cases, this can cause interference to other electronic  
equipment. Part 15 of the FCC rules establishes guidelines limiting the amount  
of radio-frequency energy which may be produced by electronic equipment.  
Tests have proven that your Samsung FAX machine meets or exceeds these  
guidelines, and is classified a “Class B Digital Device” for operation in a  
residential environment. When installed and operated according to instructions,  
your SAMSUNG fax machine should not cause interference to the types of  
equipment expected to be found in a normal residential environment.  
Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operate  
the equipment.  
Appendix  
A8  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
In the event your SAMSUNG fax machine appears to cause interference to other  
electronic equipment, it can often be easily remedied. First determine if the  
source of interference really is your FAX machine. To do this, turn its power off  
and on while observing the equipment experiencing the interference. If the  
interference disappears when you turn the FAX machine off, the following steps  
can be very effective in correcting interference problems:  
• Connect the FAX machine to an AC outlet which is on a different circuit  
breaker from the equipment experiencing interference.  
• Increase the distance between the FAX machine and the equipment  
experiencing interference.  
• Cable TV amplifiers and splitters are extremely prone to interference. Be  
certain that they are as far as possible from the FAX machine and its AC  
power and telephone cords.  
• Replace “twin lead” antenna wire with shielded coaxial cable, and use proper  
connectors and adaptors.  
Turn or relocate the receiving antenna. In most cases this is easily done by  
sim-ply moving a radio. A TV antenna may need to be re-oriented or installed  
in another area of the building.  
• Consult your dealer, a reputable radio/TV technician, or an Amateur Radio  
Operator for help.  
* To locate an Amateur Radio Operator in your area, contact The American  
Radio Relay League, 610 Main St., Newington, CT 06111.  
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.  
See pages 1.22 to 1.23 for instructions on how to enter this information into  
your Samsung FAX machine’s memory.  
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.  
Appendix  
A.9

Telephone Company Information  
FCC IDENTIFICATION NUMBER  
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this equipment  
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.  
RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER  
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 Samsung FAX 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 FAX 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 FAX 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.  
• 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 equipment may not be used on coin service or party lines.  
• This telephone 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.
