We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of each day and during the day, as needed. 1 2 3 5 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity. Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water. Open the document cover.
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 machine lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be different depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often. 8.
Redistributing Toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light printing occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, “[Toner Low]”. You can temporarily reestablish print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some case, white streaks or light printing still occurs even after you have redistributed the toner. 1 CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
Cleaning the Drum You can clean the OPC drum of the toner cartridge manually or automatically.

Exit Misfeed In the Tray 1 2 3 1 4 Remove any remaining page(s) from the ADF. Open the ADF cover. Remove the jammed paper in the tray by gently pulling it straight out. Remove the misfed documents from the document output tray. Close the ADF cover. Then load the removed page(s), if any, back into the ADF. 2 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 9.3.
In the Fuser Area or Around the Toner Cartridge 5 If necessary, push the manual tray back into the machine. 6 Reinstall the toner cartridge and close the front door. Printing automatically resumes. NOTE: The fuser area is hot. Take care when removing paper from the machine. 1 2 Open the front door. Pull the toner cartridge out, lightly pushing it down.

3 Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams If there is any resistance and the paper does not move when you pull, or if you cannot see the paper in the output tray, open the rear cover by pulling the tab on it. By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be avoided. When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in ?$paratext>? on page 9.2. • Follow the procedures in ?$paratext>? on page 2.3. Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. • Do not overload the tray.
Display Meaning Suggested solutions There is a problem in the fuser unit. Unplug the power cord and plug it back in. If the problem persists, please call for service. You have tried to select a group location number where only a single location number can be used, such as when adding locations for a broadcast operation. Use a speed dial number or dial a number manually using the number keypad. The remote machine did not have the requested feature, such as a delayed transmission.
Display Meaning Remove Documents from ADF The Favorite Copy button is set to Clone, Autofit, ID Card Copy or Poster and you press the button. The Clone, Autofit, ID Card Copy or Poster feature does not work with ADF. Remove the documents in the ADF. [Retry Redial?] (only for SCX4521F/ SCX4521FR) The machine is waiting for a specified time interval to redial a previously busy station. You can press Enter to immediately redial, or Stop/ Clear to cancel the redial operation.
Printing Problems Condition The machine does not print. Possible cause Condition Suggested solutions 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. Select your printer as your default printer in your Windows. Check the machine for the following: • The front door is not closed. • Paper is jammed. After locating the problem, clear it. • Close the door. • No paper is loaded.
Condition Possible cause Pages print, but are blank. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. An error occurs repeatedly when you are printing with the USB connection. Printing Quality Problems Suggested solutions Redistribute the toner, if necessary. See ?$paratext>? on page 8.5. If necessary, replace the toner cartridge. The file may have blank pages. Check the file to ensure that it does not contain blank pages. Some parts, such as the controller or the board, may be defective.
Condition Suggested solutions Vertical lines If black vertical streaks appear on the page: • The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See ?$paratext>? on page 8.5.
Condition Suggested solutions Back of printouts are dirty Check for leaking toner. Clean the inside of the machine. See ?$paratext>? on page 8.2. Black pages • The toner cartridge may not be installed properly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it. • The toner cartridge may be defective and need replacing. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See ?$paratext>? on page 8.5. • The machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.
Scanning Problems Condition The scanner does not work. The unit scans very slowly. Suggested solutions • Make sure that you place the document to be scanned face down on the document glass, or face up in the Automatic Document Feeder. • There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution rate. • Check that the USB or parallel cable is connected properly.
Common Linux Problems Problem The machine doesn’t print. Possible Cause and Solution • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open MFP 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.
Problem The machine doesn’t scan. (continued) Possible Cause and Solution • To identify the source of the problem, you should open MFP ports configuration and select the port assigned to your scanner. MFP port’s symbol /dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation displayed in the scanners’ options, / dev/mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB ports start at / dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth sequentially.
