    (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

    such as benzene or thinner to clean. 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.

    This chapter gives helpful information fo r what to do if you encounter an error.
    This chapter includes:
    •Redistributing toner
    • Tips for avoiding paper jams •
    Clearing paper jams
    • Solving other problems
      
    Redistributing toner
    When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
    •Whi
    te streaks or light printing occurs. 
    •The
      LED blinks red. 
    If this happens, you can temporarily improve prin
     t 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. Ope
    n the top cover.
     When you open the top cover, make sure that the output tray is 
    closed.
    2. Pull the toner cartridge
      out.
    3.Thoroughly roll the cartridge five or six times to distribute the toner 
    evenly inside the cartridge.
     If toner gets on your clothing, wipe  it off with a dry cloth and wash 
    clothing in cold wa ter. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
     
    Do not touch the drum in the the toner cartridge or imaging unit. 
    Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area. 
    4. Hold
     the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the cartridge into 
    the opening in the machine.  The tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within 
    the
    
     machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks 
    into place completely.
    5. Close the top cover. Ensure that  the cover is securely closed. 
    Tips for avoiding paper jams
    By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided. 
    When a paper jam occurs, refer to the guidelines below:
    • En
    sure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. (See 
    Loading paper in the tray on page  29 .)
    • Do 
    not overload the tray. Ensure that  the paper level is below the paper 
    capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
    • D
    o not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
    •F
    lex, fan, and straighten paper before loading. 
    •D
    o not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
    •D
    o not mix paper types in a tray.
    •U
    se only recommended print media.
    •En
    sure that the recommended side of the print media is facing the right 
    side. (See  Loading paper in the tray on page  29.)
    • If 
    duplexing, print one sheet at a time using the . (See  Printing on 
    both sides of the paper (Manual) on page  35.)
    • If yo
    u are printing on a special paper, print one sheet at a time using the 
    . (See  Manual feeding in the tray on page  29 .)
