This chapter includes: •Printing a machine report • Cleaning a machine • Storing the toner cartridge • Tips for moving & storing your machine Printing a machine report You can print a configuration page to view current printer settings, or to help troubleshoot printer problems. (See Printing a configuration sheet on page 22 .) Cleaning a 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 the most optimum print quality. • Cleaning the outside of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alc ohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet. • If yo ur machine or the surroun ding 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. Cleaning the outside Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the machine. Cleaning the inside During the printing process, paper dust , toner, and dust particles in the air can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and reduces these problems. 1. T urn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to cool down. 2. Ope n the top cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a clean flat surface. •To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. • Do n ot touch the green surface of the drum located in the toner cartridge or imaging unit. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area. 3. W ith a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area. While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to damage the transfer roller or any other inside parts. Do not use solvents Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals

Printing quality problems can occur and cause damage to the machine. 4.Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover. 5.Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on. Storing the toner cartridge Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the recommendations below to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge. Store this cartridge in the same environment as the printer it will be used in; this should be in controlled office temperature and humidity conditions. The toner cartridge should remain in its original, unopened package until installation – If original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the cartridge with paper and store it in a dark cabinet. 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, always store the cartridge according to the following guidelines: •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. Handling instructions •Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge. •Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock. •Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can cause internal damage and toner spillage. 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. Estimated cartridge life 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. 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. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
