When using this product, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to  
reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:  
Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater, air  
conditioner or ventilation duct.  
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Do not locate your machine  
where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance,  
and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.  
10 Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power or PC interface cords.  
11 Never push objects of any kind into the 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 machine.  
12 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to a  
qualified 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.  
13 Unplug the machine from the 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 machine.  
• If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.  
• If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.  
• If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.  
• If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.  
Ozone Safety  
14 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 machine to normal operation.  
During normal operation, this machine produces ozone. The ozone  
produced does not present a hazard to the operator. However, it is  
advisable that the machine be operated in a well ventilated area.  
15 Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of  
electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power for the duration of  
the lightning storm.  
If you need additional information about ozone, please contact your  
nearest Samsung dealer.  
16 If you continuously print multiple pages, the surface of the output tray may become  
hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and keep children away from the surface.

printer is operating correctly.  
This chapter includes:  
Press and hold the Cancel button for about 2 seconds.  
A demo page prints out.  
Using toner save mode  
Toner save mode allows the printer to use less toner on each page.  
Activating this mode extends the life of your toner cartridge and reduces  
your cost per page beyond what one would experience in the normal  
mode, but it reduces print quality. This setting is not available with the  
1200dpi (Best) setting.  
You can set the toner save mode from the printer properties window on  
your printer driver. See the Software Section.

Selecting print media  
5 Loading print media  
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,  
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the  
guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the  
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following  
problems:  
This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you can use  
with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper  
trays for the best print quality.  
This chapter includes:  
• Poor print quality  
• Increased paper jams  
• Premature wear on the printer  
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content,  
are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output  
quality. When you choose print media, consider the following:  
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate  
for your project.  
• Size: You can use any size print media that fits easily within the paper  
adjusters of the paper tray.  
• Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:  
2
- 16 to 43 lb (60 to 163 g/m ) for the standard tray and manual tray  
2
- 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m ) for the manual duplex printing  
• 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.  
Notes  
• 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 special print media  
Guidelines for selecting and storing print media  
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep  
these guidelines in mind:  
Type  
Guidelines  
Envelopes  
• Successful printing on envelopes depends  
upon the quality of the envelopes. When  
selecting envelopes, consider the following  
factors:  
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on  
the next column.  
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause  
paper jams and poor print quality.  
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper  
should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming  
may occur.  
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper  
specifically recommended for use in laser printers.  
• Avoid using the following print media types:  
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes  
should lie flat with less than 6 mm  
(0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.  
- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too  
smooth or too rough  
- Erasable bond paper  
- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled,  
nicked, or otherwise damaged.  
- Multi-paged paper  
- Temperature: You should use envelopes that  
are compatible with the heat and pressure of  
the printer during operation.  
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp  
and well creased folds.  
- 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 printer.  
• 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.  
• 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.  
o
o
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 C and 30 C  
o
o
(59 F to 86 F). 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 print media types one sheet at a time through the  
manual tray to avoid paper jams.  
Acceptable  
To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from  
sticking together, remove them as they print out.  
Unacceptable  
CAUTION: If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface  
of the top cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.  
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with  
more than one flap that folds over to seal must  
use adhesives compatible with the printer’s  
fusing temperature of 180° C (356° F) for  
0.1 second. 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 (0.6 inches) from the edges  
of the envelope.  
• Avoid printing over the area where the  
envelope’s seams meet.

Type  
Guidelines  
Type  
Guidelines  
Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only  
transparencies designed for use in laser  
printers.  
Preprinted  
paper  
• 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 of 180° C (356° F)  
for 0.1 second.  
• 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.  
• Transparencies used in the printer must be able  
to withstand 180° C (356° F), the printer’s  
fusing temperature.  
• Place them on a flat surface after removing  
them from the printer.  
• 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.  
Loading paper  
Labels  
To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels  
designed for use in laser printers.  
• When selecting labels, consider the following  
factors:  
Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray.  
The tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain  
paper.  
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be  
stable at 180° C (356° F), the printer’s fusing  
temperature.  
Using the standard tray  
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no  
exposed backing between them. Labels can  
peel off sheets that have spaces between the  
labels, causing serious jams.  
To load paper, open the tray and load paper with the side to be printed  
on facing up.  
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with  
no more than 13 mm (5 inches) 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 printer components.  
• Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer  
more than once. The adhesive backing is  
designed for only a single pass through the  
printer.  
You can load letterhead paper with the design side face up. The top edge  
of the sheet with the logo should be entered into the printer first.  
• Do not use labels that are separating from the  
backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or  
otherwise damaged.  
Notes  
• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at  
a time in the manual tray.  
Card stock or  
custom-sized  
materials  
• Do not print on print media smaller than 76 mm  
(3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.  
• In the software application, set margins at least  
6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of  
the material.  
You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should  
be facing down with an uncurled edge enter the printer first. If  
you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper  
around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

2
Adjust the manual tray paper width guides to the width of the paper.  
Do not force too much, or the paper will bend, which could result in  
a paper jam or skew.  
Using the manual tray  
The manual tray can hold special sizes and types of print media, such as  
transparency, postcard, note card, and envelope. It is useful for single  
page printing on special print media.  
To load paper in the manual tray:  
1
Load one sheet of paper with the side to be printed on facing up.  
3
When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the  
software application. See the Software Section.  
Tips on using the manual tray  
• Load only one sheet of print media at a time in the manual tray.  
Depending on the print media type you are using, keep the  
following loading guidelines:  
To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in  
the manual tray. This also applies to the standard tray.  
• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left  
side.  
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the  
manual tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.  
• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip  
entering the printer first.  
• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.2 to avoid paper  
jams and print quality problems.  
• Labels: Print side up and the top short edge entering the printer  
first.  
Using manual feed mode  
• Preprinted paper: Design side up and the top edge entering the  
printer first.  
You can manually load a sheet of print media in the manual tray if you  
select Manual Feeder in the Source option from the Paper tab when  
you change print settings to print a document. See the Software  
Section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check  
the print quality after each page is printed.  
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer  
first.  
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down and an  
uncurled edge entering the printer first.  
Load paper sheet-by-sheet in the manual tray, send print data to print the  
first page, and press the Cancel button on the control panel to print each  
following page.  
Note  
• For transparency, hold it by the edges and avoid touching the  
print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality  
problems.

• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fuser area may be  
hot.  
Toner cartridge storage  
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.  
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in  
mind:  
• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner  
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching  
this area.  
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for  
use.  
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover  
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.  
3
Thoroughly shake the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner  
evenly inside the cartridge.  
• Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.  
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 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 printer lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) 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, print media type, and print  
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the  
cartridge more often.  
Caution  
• 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.  
4
Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the  
cartridge into the opening in the printer.  
Redistributing toner cartridge  
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves  
within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position  
until it locks into place completely.  
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life span:  
• White streaks and light printing occur.  
• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer.  
• The Error LED blinks red.  
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish 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.

Clearing paper jams  
9 Troubleshooting  
Note  
This chapter provides helpful information for what to do if you encounter  
an error while using your printer.  
• When removing paper that is jammed in the printer, if possible  
always pull the paper in the direction that it normally moves so  
as not to damage internal components. Always pull firmly and  
evenly; do not jerk the paper. If the paper tears, ensure that all  
fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a jam will occur  
again.  
This chapter includes:  
When a paper jam occurs, the Error LED lights red. Open and close the  
front cover. The jammed paper automatically exits the printer.

Tips for avoiding paper jams  
By selecting the correct print media types, most paper jams can be  
avoided. When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined on page  
9.1.  
• Follow the procedures on page 5.4. Ensure that the adjustable guides  
are positioned correctly.  
• Do not overload the tray.  
• Do not remove paper from the tray while your printer is printing.  
• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.  
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.  
• Do not mix paper types in the tray.  
• Use only recommended print media. See page 5.1  
.
Caution  
• Ensure that the recommended print side of print media is facing up in  
the tray.  
• When removing the jammed paper, be careful not to touch the  
heat roller (located underneath the inner cover). It is hot and  
could cause burns!  
• The top and inner cover themselves may also be hot due to  
the heat roller. Allows the printer to cool before opening the  
covers.

If a vertical white streak or faded area appears  
on the page:  
• The surface of the LSU part inside the printer  
may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See page 8.2.  
• The toner supply is low. You may be able to  
temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See  
page 8.3. If this does not improve print quality,  
install a new toner cartridge.  
• The paper may not meet paper specifications  
(for example, the paper is too moist or too  
rough). See page 5.3.  
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution  
setting is too light or toner save mode is on.  
Adjust the print resolution and toner save  
mode in the printer properties. See the  
Software Section.  
Gray  
background  
If the amount of background shading becomes  
unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the  
problem.  
• Change to lighter weight pages. See page 5.3.  
• Check the printer’s environment; low humidity  
(lower than 20% RH) 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 page 8.4.  
• A combination of faded or smeared defects  
may indicate that the printer needs cleaning.  
See page 8.1.  
• The surface of LSU may be dirty. Clean the  
LSU. See page 8.2.  
Toner smear  
• Clean the inside of the printer. See page 8.1.  
• Check the paper type and quality. See page  
5.2.  
• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new  
one. See page 8.4.  
Toner spots  
• The paper may not meet specifications (for  
example, the paper is too moist or too rough).  
See page 5.3.  
• The transfer roller or paper path may be dirty.  
See page 8.1.  
Vertical  
repetitive  
defects  
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, install a  
new toner cartridge. See page 8.4.  
• Parts of the printer 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.  
Dropouts  
If generally rounded, faded areas 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. See page 5.3.  
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing  
processes can cause some areas to reject  
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.  
• The toner cartridge may be defective. See  
column.  
• The fusing assembly may be damaged.

Background scatter results from bits of toner  
distributed on the printed page.  
Wrinkles or  
creases  
• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.  
• Check the paper type and quality. See page  
5.2.  
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also  
try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.  
• 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  
via the printer properties window.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded correctly and  
the adjustable guides are not too tight or too  
loose against the paper stack.  
Loose toner  
• Clean the inside of the printer.  
• Check the paper type and quality. See page  
5.2.  
• Install a new toner cartridge. See page 8.4.  
• If the problem persists, the printer may require  
repair. Contact a service representative.  
Curl or wave  
• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.  
• Check the paper type and quality. Both high  
temperature and humidity can cause paper  
curl. See page 5.2.  
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also  
try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.  
Character voids  
Character voids are white areas within  
characters that should be solid black:  
• If you are using transparencies, try another  
type of transparency. Because of the  
composition of the transparency, some  
character voids may be normal.  
You may be printing on the wrong surface on

Suggested solutions  
• Check if the printer driver is installed in your  
system. Open Unified Driver 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.

Please 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 job from  
the beginning. Since Unified Linux 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.

Print Odd Pages: Your printer prints only the odd numbered  
pages of the document.  
Print Even Pages: Your printer prints only the even  
numbered pages of the document.  
Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the  
printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident  
fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the  
fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes  
time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time.  
When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts  
used in your document to those stored in its memory. If,  
however, you use fonts in your document that are very different  
from those resident in the printer, your printed output will  
appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.  
This feature is available only when you use the PCL  
printer driver.

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.
