5 After removing the jammed paper, check for paper which may be jammed in other parts of the printer. In the Optional Tray2 6 After making sure that the access door is open, close the top cover. Make sure that it is securely latched. If paper is jammed in the optional tray 2, a lamp turns on at the corresponding location on the Status map. If you use the CLP600N, “Jam0 In Tray2” also appears on the display. 7 1 Using the handle, completely open the access door. 2 Open the top cover.
3 Holding the inner cover open, carefully take the jammed paper out of the printer. The inner cover will then close automatically. Go to step 12. If you cannot find the jammed paper, or if there is any resistance removing the paper, stop pulling and close the access door. Go to step 4. CAUTION: • Do not touch the fuser inside the inner cover. It is hot and could cause burns! The fuser’s operating temperature is 180°C (356°F). Take care when removing paper from the printer.
6 Pull the jammed paper out in the direction shown. To avoid tearing the paper, pull it out gently and slowly. 7 Close the two jam covers and go to step 11. 8 Pull the optional tray 2 open. After you pull it all the way out, lift up the front part of the tray slightly to release the tray from the printer. 9 If you see the jammed paper, remove the paper from the printer by gently pulling it straight out as shown below.
11 Open the access door. 13 Close the access door firmly. The printer will resume printing. CAUTION: If the top cover and access door are not completely closed, the printer will not operate. 12 After making sure that the access door is open. Close the top cover. Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be avoided. If a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in “Clearing Paper Jams” on page 7.4. • Follow the procedures on page 4.2.
Problem Solving Print Quality Problems Color or Black background Dirt inside of the printer or improper paper loading may reduce print quality. See the table below to troubleshoot problems.
Problem Misformed characters Page skew AaBbC AaBbCcc AaBbC AaBbCcc AaBbCc Curl or wave Wrinkles or creases Back of printouts are dirty Solution Problem Solid Color or Black pages • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollowed images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.1. • If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it also occurs on a demo page. See page 2.
Message Status Do this... Understanding Display Messages Install [Color] Toner Install the corresponding color toner cartridge. Messages appear on the SmartPanel program window or the control panel display (CLP-600N only) to indicate the printer’s status or errors. Refer to the tables below to understand the messages’ meanings and correct the problem if necessary. Messages and their meanings are listed in alphabetical order. The indicated color toner cartridge is not installed in the printer.
Message Status Do this... Message Main Motor Error A problem has occurred in the development motor of the printer. Unplug the power cord and plug it in again. If the problem persists, call for service. Memory Overflow The printer does not have enough memory to print the current job. The job automatically clears and the printer returns to Standby Mode. An error has occurred in the firmware program of the printer. Paper Empty [Size] In Tray1 The paper tray has run out of paper.
Common Windows Problems Common Linux Problems Possible Cause and Solution Problem Possible Cause and Solution “File in Use” message appears during installation. Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver. I can’t change settings in the configuration tool. You need to have administrator privileges to be able to change global settings. “Error Writing to LPTx” message appears.
Problem Possible Cause and Solution Problem The N-up setting does not work correctly for some of my documents. The N-up feature is achieved through postprocessing of the PostScript data that is sent to the printing system. However, such post-processing can only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data conforms to the Adobe Document Structing Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up and other features that rely on post-processing if the document being printed isn’t compliant.
8 Using Your Printer on a Network (CLP-600N only) Setting Up a NetworkConnected Printer You have to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your network printer. Setting protocols can be accomplished by using the supplied network program. Please refer to the Network User’s Guide. If you work in a networked environment, the printer can be shared by other users on the network.
Printing a Network Configuration Page Configuring TCP/IP The Network Configuration page shows how the network interface card on your printer is configured.

There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP address, depending on your network. 1 In ready mode, press the Menu button ( ) until you see “Network” on the bottom line of the display.
13 Repeat step 12 to complete the address from the 1st byte Configuring IPX Frame Types to the 4th byte. On IPX/SPX protocol networks (for example, Novell NetWare), the format of the network communication frames must be specified for the printer. In most cases, you can keep the ‘Auto’ default setting. However, you can manually set the frame type format, if required. 14 To select other parameters, such as the Subnet Mask or Gateway, press the scroll button ( Enter button ( ). or ).
12 Press the scroll button ( or ) until you see the ). desired frame type and press the Enter button ( 13 Press the On Line/Continue button ( ) to return to ready mode. 5 Press the scroll button ( or ) until “Config Wireless” displays on the bottom line. Press the Enter button ( ). 6 Press the scroll button ( or ) until “Yes” displays on the bottom line. Press the Enter button ( ).
• Security Mode: “None”, “Static WEP”, or “WPA” The Samsung print server provides three kinds of Security Modes (such as “None” Static WEP, and WPA) for easy setting of wireless network security. “None” security mode is used when the validation of wireless device's identity and data encryption are not required for your network. Static WEP uses WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) algorithm suggested by IEEE802.11 standard for security.
9 Installing Printer Options Installing an Optional Paper Tray You can increase the paper handling capacity of your printer by installing an optional Tray2. This tray holds 500 sheets of paper. Your printer is a full-featured laser printer that has been optimized to meet most of your printing needs.
