Ringer Equivalence Number  
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine 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.  
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.  
The equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the rear of this equipment is a label that  
contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the  
telephone company.

Regulatory Compliance Statements  
Wireless Guidance  
Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may be  
present (embedded) in your printer system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.  
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The  
wireless devices in your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating label. If  
the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, contact your local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices  
are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.  
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this  
time. Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety  
standards and recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken  
to minimize human contact during normal operation.  
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body  
(this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are  
on and transmitting.  
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.  
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:  
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless  
devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices  
are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.  
In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless  
device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use  
of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask  
the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.  
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling  
between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of  
a wireless device in the destination country.  
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are  
in place and the system is fully assembled.  
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it.  
Contact manufacturer for service.  
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact  
manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

For more information about network environment, network programs  
and Installing network connected machine’s driver, refer to following  
chapters.  
Static IP assignment: Use SetIP program to change the IP address  
from your computer (See "Setting IP address" on page 2).  
In an office environment, we recommend that you contact a network  
administrator to set IP address for your machine.  
Wireless network name and Network Key  
Wireless networks require higher security. When an access point is first set  
up, a network name (SSID), the type of security used and a Network Key  
should be created for the network. Check this information before proceeding  
with the machine installation.  
Using a wireless network  
Choosing your network connection  
Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and  
the machine at a time. There are two types of network connections to  
consider.  
Infrastructure mode  
This is an environment generally used for homes  
and SOHOs. This mode uses an access point to  
communicate with the wireless machine.

Printing a network configuration report  
You can print Network Configuration Report from the machine’s control  
panel that will show the current machine’s network settings. This will help  
you to set up a network and troubleshoot problems.

Ad-Hoc mode  
1. Press Menu on the control panel.  
This mode does not use an access point, the  
wireless computer and wireless machine  
communicate directly.  
2. Press the left/right arrow until Network appears and press OK.  
3. Press the left/right arrow until Network Info. appears and press OK.  
4. Press the left/right arrow until Yes appears and press OK.  
Using this Network Configuration Report, you can find your machine MAC  
address and IP address.  
For example:  
MAC Address:00:15:99:41:A2:78  
IP Address:192.0.0.192  
After choosing your configuration, follow the simple directions for your  
computer operating system, but first locate the Software CD supplied  
with the machine before proceeding.  
IP addresses  
Every device in a network has a unique numerical address called an IP  
Address. Your machine came with a Default IP address of 192.0.0.192,  
which you can verify by printing out Network Configuration Report or  
Configuration Report.  
Installing a wireless network with the WPS button  
If your machine and an access point (or wireless router) support Wi-Fi  
Protected Setup™(WPS), you can easily configure the wireless network  
settings by pressing the WPS (  
) button on the control panel (See  
DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a  
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the  
machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained  
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the  
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the  
page 2).

For the Static method  
DHCP IP assignment: Connect your machine to the network, and wait a  
few minutes for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the  
machine. Then, print the Network Configuration Report as explained  
above. If the report shows that the IP address has changed, the  
assignment was successful. You will see the new IP address in the  
If the IP address assignment method is Static, check if

security (password). If it has a password, refer to the access point (or  
wireless router) administrator.  
Check whether the machine's IP address. Reinstall the machine driver  
and change the settings to connect to the machine on the network. Due  
to the characteristics of DHCP, the allocated IP address could change if  
the machine is not used for a long time or if the access point has been  
reset.  
Check the wireless environment. You might not be able to connect to the  
network in the infrastructure environment where you need to type in a  
user's information before connecting to access point (or wireless router).  
This machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi. Other wireless  
communication (Bluetooth) is not supported.

Envelopes  
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the  
envelopes.  
To print an envelope, the stamp area is on the left side and the end of the  
envelope with the stamp area enters the printer first.  
Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand  
machine’s fusing temperature.  
Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.  
Do not leave unused transparencies 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 transparencies  
carefully.  
To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged  
sunlight.  
Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn  
edges.  
When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors.  
Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.  
To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the  
printed sheets stack up as they are printed out.  
Recommended media: Xerox 3R91331 (A4), Xerox 3R2780 (Letter).  
Base type transparency (ex. Xerox 3R91331) results in better image  
and paper handling quality than paper backed (ex. Xerox 3R3028) or  
removable stripe (3R3108) ones.  
-Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2  
otherwise, jams may occur.  
-Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than  
6 mm (0.24 inches) curl, and should not contain air.  
-Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.  
-Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with 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.  
Transparency with static electricity can cause image quality  
problems.  
Depending on the selection or storage conditions of the transparency,  
jam or image scratch might occur.  
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.  
Labels  
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for laser printers.

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 about 170°C(338 °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 (0.59  
inches) from the edges of the envelope.  
When selecting labels, consider the following factors.  
-Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s  
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: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm  
Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Transparencies  
indications of separation.  
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for laser  
printers.  
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.  
In case of color printing using transparencies, the picture quality would  
be lower than mono printing when the printouts are used on the  
Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine more than once. The

Setting the paper size and type  
Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are  
wrinkled, bubbled or otherwise damaged.  
After loading paper in the paper tray, set the paper size and type using the  
control panel. These settings will apply to copy and scan modes. For  
computer printing, select the paper size and type in the application program  
you use on your computer (See "Opening printing preferences" on page 2).

Letterhead/ Preprinted paper 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. Check your  
machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature about 170°C (338  
°F).  
Using the output support  
The surface of the output tray may become hot if you print a large  
number of pages at once. Make sure that you do not touch the  
surface, and do not allow children near it.  
Letterhead/ Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not  
adversely affect machine rollers.  
Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to  
prevent changes during storage.  
Before you load letterhead/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.  
Illustrations on this user’s guide may differ from your machine  
depending on its options or models. Check your model name.

Using overlay  
An overlay is content you store on your hard disk drive that can be  
superimposed over any document you print. An overlay is often used to take  
the place of letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you  
can create an overlay containing exactly the 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  
machine, instead you can just print the letterhead overlay on your  
document.  
The selected overlay prints over your document.  
The resolution of the overlay document must match the resolution  
of the original print job.

Auto Reduction  
When receiving a fax containing pages as long  
as or longer than the paper loaded in the paper  
tray, the machine can reduce the size of the  
original to fit the size of the paper loaded in the  
machine.  
Turn on this feature if you want to automatically  
reduce an incoming page.  
With this feature set to Off, the machine cannot  
reduce the original to fit onto one page. The  
original will be divided and printed in actual size  
on two or more pages.  
Resolution  
Changing the resolution setting affects the  
appearance of the received document.  
Standard: Originals with normal sized  
characters.  
Fine: Originals containing small characters  
or thin lines or originals printed using a  
dot-matrix printer.  
Super Fine: Originals containing extremely  
fine detail. Super Fine mode is enabled only  
if the machine with which you are  
communicating also supports the Super  
Fine resolution.  
Discard Size  
When receiving a fax containing pages as long  
as or longer than the paper in your machine, you  
can set the machine to discard a specific length  
from the end of the received fax. The machine  
will print the received fax on one or more sheets  
of paper, minus the data that would have been  
on the specified discard segment.  
For memory transmission, Super Fine  
mode is not available. The  
resolution setting is automatically  
changed to Fine.  
When the received fax contains pages larger  
than the paper in your machine, and Auto  
Reduction has been turned on, the machine will  
reduce the fax to fit on the existing paper, and  
nothing will be discarded.  
When your machine is set to Super  
Fine resolution and the fax  
machine with which you are  
communicating does not support  
Super Fine resolution, the machine  
transmits using the highest  
resolution mode supported by the  
other fax machine.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners  
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via a parallel port  
or USB port. Since the machine device contains more than one device  
(printer and scanner), it is necessary to organize proper access of  
“consumer” applications to these devices via the single I/O port.  
The Unified Linux Driver package provides an appropriate port sharing  
mechanism that is used by Samsung printer and scanner drivers. The  
drivers talk to their devices via so-called machine ports. The current  
status of any machine port can be viewed via the Ports configuration.  
The port sharing prevents you from accessing one functional block of  
the machine device, while another block is in use.  
When you install a new machine device onto your system, it is strongly  
recommended you do this with the assistance of an Unified Driver  
Configurator. In this case you will be asked to choose I/O port for the  
new device. This choice will provide the most suitable configuration for  
machine’s functionality. For machine scanners, I/O ports are being  
chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so proper settings are applied  
by default.

6. Press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.  
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 the most  
optimum print quality.  
Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials  
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent or other strong  
substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.  
If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner,  
we recommend that 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 if inhaled.  
Maintenance_ 1  
                   
4. Pull the waste toner container out of the machine using the handle.  
7. Holding the groove on the front of the imaging unit, push imaging unit  
into the machine.  
5. Pull the imaging unit out of the machine using the groove on the front of  
the imaging unit.  
Do not touch the green surface of the drum located in the imaging  
unit. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.  
8. Insert the waste toner container into position and then push it to make  
sure that it is firmly seated in place.  
Do not touch the green surface of the drum located in the imaging  
unit. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.  
6. With a dry and lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from  
the toner cartridges area and their cavities.  
9. Slide four toner cartridges back into the machine.  
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.  
If your machine or its surrounding is contaminated with toner, we  
recommend you use a cloth or tissue dampened with water to  
clean. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows into the air  
then might be harmful if inhaled.  
10. Reinstall all the compartments into the machine and close the front door.  
If the front door is not completely closed, the machine will not  
operate.  
11. Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.  
After cleaning, let the machine to dry completely.

Yield (Average)  
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature  
and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the recommendations to  
ensure the optimum performance, highest quality and longest life from your  
new Samsung toner cartridge.

Approx. 50,000 black pages or 12,500 color pages  
Transfer unit (ITB) Approx. 50,000 black pages or 12,500 color pages  
Pick-up roller Approx. 50,000 pages  
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be  
used. This should be in controlled office 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.  
We highly recommend that this maintenance be performed by an authorized  
service provider, dealer or the retailer where you bought the machine. The  
warranty does not cover the replacement of the maintenance parts after  
their lifespan.  
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 instruction below to store the toner  
cartridge properly.  
The battery inside the machine is a service component. Do not  
change it by yourself.  
There is risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.  
Dispose of used batteries according to your local environmental  
guidelines. Don’t puncture or incinerate the battery.  
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  
was installed in the machine.  
Do not store consumable in any of the following conditions:  
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).  
-Humidity range less than 20% and not 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.  
Checking replacables  
If you experience frequent paper jams or printing problems, check the  
number of pages the machine has printed or scanned. Replace the  
corresponding parts, if necessary.

Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge  
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 cartridge.  
Tips for moving & storing your machine  
When moving the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down. Otherwise,  
the inside of the machine may be contaminated by toner, which can  
cause damage to the machine or reduce print quality.  
Estimated cartridge life  
When moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding  
the machine securely.  
Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge 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, printing interval, media type and/or media size. For example, if  
you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you may  
need to change the cartridge more often.  
Maintenance parts  
To avoid print quality and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts,  
and to maintain your machine in top working condition, the following items  
will need to be replaced after the specified number of pages, or when the life  
span of each item has expired.  
Maintenance_ 4

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life,  
White streaks or light printing occurs.  
Prepare toner appears on the display.  
The Status LED blinks red.  
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.  
1. Using the handle, completely open the front door.  
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.  
Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the  
handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.  
4. Make sure that the color of the toner cartridge matches the color slot and  
then grasp the handles on the toner cartridge. Insert the cartridge until it  
clicks into place.  
2. Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the  
cartridge from the machine.  
5. Close the front door. Make sure the door is securely latched.  
If the front door is not completely closed, the machine will not operate.  
Tips for avoiding paper jams

glossary  
client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP  
address prior to loading any advanced operating system.  
The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by  
understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing as well  
as mentioned in this user’s guide.  
CCD  
802.11  
Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan  
job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to  
prevent any damage when you move the machine.  
802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN)  
communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards  
Committee (IEEE 802).  
Collation  
802.11b/g/n  
Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When  
collation is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing  
additional copies.  
802.11b/g/n can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band.  
802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps, 802.11n supports  
bandwidth up to 150 Mbps. 802.11b/g/n devices may occasionally suffer  
interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and Bluetooth  
devices.  
Control Panel  
A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or  
monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of  
the machine.  
Access point  
Access Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that  
connects wireless communication devices together on wireless local  
area networks (WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver of  
WLAN radio signals.  
Coverage  
It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing.  
For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5%  
image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or  
lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a  
toner usage will be as much as the coverage.  
ADF  
An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a scanning unit that will  
automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can  
scan some amount of the paper at once.  
CSV  
Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to  
exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is  
used in Microsoft Excel, has become a de facto standard throughout the  
industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.  
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.  
DADF  
BIT Depth  
A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a scanning unit that  
will automatically feed and turn over an original sheet of paper so that  
the machine can scan on both sides of the paper.  
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 number of possible colors becomes impractically large for  
a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black and  
white.  
Default  
The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its box  
state, reset, or initialized.  
BMP  
DHCP  
A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows  
graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file  
format on that platform.  
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server  
networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters  
specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information  
required by the client host to participate on an IP network. DHCP also  
provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to client hosts.  
BOOTP  
Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to  
obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap  
process of computers or operating systems running on them. The  
BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to each  
Glossary_ 1  
   
Emulation focuses on exact reproduction of external behavior, which is  
in contrast to simulation, which concerns an abstract model of the  
system being simulated, often considering its internal state.  
DIMM  
Dual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), a small circuit board that holds  
memory. DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing data,  
received fax data.  
Ethernet  
Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local  
area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical  
layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control  
(MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized  
as IEEE 802.3. It has become the most widespread LAN technology in  
use during the 1990s to the present.  
DLNA  
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a standard that allows  
devices on a home network to share information with each other across  
the network.  
DNS  
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information  
associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks,  
such as the Internet.  
EtherTalk  
A suite of protocols developed by Apple Computer for computer  
networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984) and is now  
deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.  
Dot Matrix Printer  
A dot matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print head  
that runs back and forth on the page and prints by impact, striking an  
ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a typewriter.  
FDI  
Foreign Device Interface (FDI) is a card installed inside the machine to  
allow a third party device such as a coin operated device or a card  
reader. Those devices allow the pay-for-print service on your machine.  
DPI  
Dots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for  
scanning and printing. Generally, higher DPI results in a higher  
resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.  
FTP  
A File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a commonly used protocol for  
exchanging files over any network that supports the TCP/IP protocol  
(such as the Internet or an intranet).  
DRPD  
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Distinctive Ring is a telephone  
company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to  
answer several different telephone numbers.  
Fuser Unit  
The part of a laser printer that fuses the toner onto the print media. It  
consists of a heat roller and a pressure roller. After toner is transferred  
onto the paper, the fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that  
the toner stays on the paper permanently, which is why paper is warm  
when it comes out of a laser printer.  
Duplex  
A mechanism that will automatically turn over a sheet of paper so that  
the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer  
equipped with a Duplex Unit can print on both sides of paper during one  
print cycle.  
Gateway  
A connection between computer networks, or between a computer  
network and a telephone line. It is very popular, as it is a computer or a  
network that allows access to another computer or network.  
Duty Cycle  
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer  
performance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation  
such as pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of  
print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty  
cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer  
limits 2,400 pages a day.  
Grayscale  
A shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image  
when color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented  
by various shades of gray.  
Halftone  
ECM  
An image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of dots.
