Replacing the fitted plug (UK Only)  
Important  
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp  
plug and 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the fuse, you must re-fit  
the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have  
lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until you get another fuse cover from  
the people who sold you the machine.  
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK. However, some build-  
ings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13 amp plug sockets. You need to  
buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.  
Warning  
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it  
straight away. You cannot rewire the plug or  
you may get an electric shock if you put it into a  
socket.  
Important warning: You must earth this machine.  
The wires in the mains lead use the following colour code:  
Green and Yellow  
Blue  
Brown  
: Earth  
: Neutral  
: Live  
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colours marked in your plug, do  
the following:  
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter ‘N’ or  
coloured black.  
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter ‘L’  
or coloured red.  
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

Safety Precautions  
Before using the printer, please read the instructions in this guide carefully  
and put the guide in a safe place close to the printer, so that it is available  
when you need it later. Please take the following precautions when using  
and maintaining your printer.  
ꢀ
Unplug the printer before cleaning it. Do Not use any liquid or aerosol  
cleaners. Simply use a damp cloth. Refer to the page of this guide for  
further details.  
ꢀ
Do Not place the printer on an unstable surface or close to a radiator or  
source of heat.  
ꢀ
Take care not to block or cover the ventilation holes on the side of the  
printer. Do Not insert any object in these holes.  
ꢀ
Check that the electrical power source to which you wish to connect the  
printer complies with the electrical specifications of this printer :  
(100 ~ 240V) - Power cord may differ from one country to another.  
ꢀ
Connect all your computer equipment, including the printer to a power  
point with earthing device. Avoid plugging your printer into the same  
power point as equipment likely to cause voltage variations, such as a  
photocopying machine or an air conditioner.  
ꢀ
Check regularly that the power cable is in good condition and is not  
damaged in any way.  
ꢀ
If you use an extension cord, check that total intensity of all equipment  
connected to it does not exceed the maximum intensity allowed for the  
extention cord. Check that the total intensity of the equipment connected  
to the same power point does not exceed 15 amps.  
ꢀ
Unless otherwise indicated in this guide, do not attempt to repair the  
printer yourself. Should you detect a fault, return your printer to an  
authorized service center or your dealer.  
ꢀ
Systematically return your printer to an authorised service center or your  
local dealer if one of the following situations occurs :  
- The power cord or plug is damaged.  
- A liquid has been spilled on and/or in the printer.  
- The printer has fallen or been dropped or the bodywork is damaged in  
any way.

Toner Cartridge  
Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package  
until you are ready to use it.  
Toner cartridge storage  
Notes: To prevent damage to toner cartridge,  
do not expose it to light.  
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount  
of toner that print jobs require.  
Toner cartridge life  
When printing text at 5% coverage, a Samsung toner  
cartridge lasts an average of 10,000 pages in simplex  
mode, depending on which toner cartridge is installed.  
This assumes that print DENSITY and ECONO menu  
items are set to default.  
When toner is low, faded or light area might appear  
on a printed page.  
Distributing the Toner  
You might be able to temporarily improve print quality  
by distributing the toner.

Notes:  
• Installing the PostScript printer driver may require  
the use of the operating system files on the original  
CD-ROM or diskette that came with your system.  
• If you have a PostScript level 3 driver and want to  
use it, you must install the PostScript level 3 PPD  
which is also provided on the ML-7300 CD-ROM.  
Before installing PPD files, make sure that the printer and  
the PC are properly connected with parallel or optional  
network interface. For information on:

or NT 4.0 network printer connection.  
Network-Connect  
If an option network card was installed on your  
printer (see page Appendix F.8 for information on  
installing the network option card in your printer)  
or if you have ML-7300N printer, the printer can be  
connected to the network via direct attachment to  
an external print server.
