Declared yield value in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. b.
8 Maintenance Cleaning your machine This chapter provides information for maintaining your machine and the toner cartridge. To maintain print and scan quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print and scan quality problems occur. This chapter includes: CAUTION: Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
3 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity. The machine prints out a cleaning page. Toner particles on the drum surface are affixed to the paper. 4 If the problem remains, repeat steps 1 through 3. Cleaning the scan unit Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible copies. We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during the day, as needed.
Estimated cartridge life Maintaining the toner cartridge Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print-out number 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.
3 CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner Roll the toner cartridge 5 or 6 items to distribute the toner evenly inside the toner cartridge. cartridge. Use the handle on the toner cartridge to avoid touching this area. 4 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the toner cartridge into the opening in the machine.
The following items should be replaced after you have printed the specified number of pages, or when the life span of each item has expired. The Smart Panel program window will appear on the computer, indicating which item needs to be replaced. Items Yield (Average) Transfer roller Approx. 50,000 pages Fuser unit Approx. 50,000 pages Paper feeding roller Approx. 50,000 pages To purchase consumable and replacement parts, contact your Samsung dealer or the retailer where you bought your machine.
9 3 Troubleshooting Remove the jammed paper by gently pulling it straight out. This chapter gives helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error. This chapter includes: • Clearing paper jams • Understanding the Status LED • Understanding display messages • Solving other problems Clearing paper jams If there is any resistance and the paper does not move when you pull, or if you cannot see the paper in this area, check the fuser area around the toner cartridge. See page 9.2.
In the fuser area or around the toner cartridge In the paper exit area 1 NOTE: The fuser area is hot. Take care when removing paper If the paper does not exit, continue to step 2. from the machine. 2 1 Open and close the front cover. The jammed paper automatically exits the machine. Gently pull the paper out of the output tray. Skip to step 9. Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. If you cannot see the jammed paper in the output tray, continue to the next step.
Tips for avoiding paper jams Understanding the Status LED By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be avoided. When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in page 9.1. The Status LED on the control panel shows the status of your machine. See the table below to know your machine’s status. • Follow the procedures in page 2.3. Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. Status • Do not overload the paper input tray.
Display Understanding display messages Messages appear on the Smart Panel program window or the control panel display to indicate the machine’s status or errors. Refer to the tables below to understand the messages’ meaning and correct the problem if necessary. Messages and their meanings are listed in alphabetical order. NOTE: When you call for service, it is very convenient to tell Meaning Paper has jammed in the feeding area of the paper input tray. Clear the jam. See page 9.1.
Printing problems Solving other problems The following chart lists some conditions that may occur and the recommended solutions. Follow the suggested solutions until the problem is corrected. If the problem persists, please call for service. Condition Possible cause The machine does not print. The machine is not receiving power. Check the power cord connections. Check the power switch and the power source. The machine is not selected as the default printer.
Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions The machine selects print materials from the wrong paper source. The paper source selection in the printer properties may be incorrect. For many software applications, the paper source selection is found under the Paper tab within the printer properties. Select the correct paper source. See the Software Section. A print job is extremely slow. The job may be very complex. Reduce the complexity of the page or try adjusting the print quality settings.
Printing quality problems Condition If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem.
Condition Background scatter A Misformed characters Page skew AaBbCc AaBbC AaBbCcc AaBbCc AaBbCc Curl or wave Suggested solutions Condition Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page. • 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.
Condition Suggested solutions Condition Suggested solutions Horizontal stripes If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear: • The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the toner cartridge and reinsert it. • The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 8.4. • If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.
Common Linux Problems Condition Suggested solutions Message appears on your computer screen: • “Device can't be set to the H/W mode you want.” • “Port is being used by another program.” • “Port is disabled.” • “Scanner is busy receiving or printing data. When the current job is completed, try again.” • “Invalid handle.” • “Scanning has failed.” • There may be a copying or printing job in progress. When that job is complete, try your job again. • The Selected port is currently being used.
Condition The machine does not appear on the scanners list (continued). The machine doesn’t scan. Suggested solutions Condition • Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device.
Common macintosh problems Problems in printer setup utility Condition Suggested solutions There is described "driver not installed" at Product List Window after you click Add and Select USB. • Software is not installed correctly. Reinstall the software. See Software Section. • Make sure that you are using a high-quality cable. Your product not listed at Product List Window after you click Add and Select USB. • Make sure that the cables are connected correctly and the machine is turned on.
