LOADING PAPER
Loading paper in the tray
Load the print media you use for the majori ty of your print jobs in the tray. 
The tray can hold a maximum of 150 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) plain 
paper. 
1. Grasp the paper input tray and pull it  toward you to open. Pinch the rear 
guide and pull it out to extend the tray
.
2. Prepare a stack of paper for loading by flexing or fanning them back and 
forth. Straighten the edges  on a level surface. 
3. Load paper with the print side facing up . Make sure that all four corners 
are flat in the tray. 
Preprinted paper
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink 
that will not melt, vapori ze, or release hazardous 
emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing 
temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s 
specification to view the  fusing temperature, see 
page 43.
• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should  not adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a  moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during 
storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms  and letterhead, verify that  the ink on the paper is 
dry. During the fusing proc ess, wet ink can come off 
preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
Using photographic paper or coat ed paper may cause problems, 
requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s 
warranty or service agreements.
MEDIA TYPEGUIDELINES
Because the machine is very light, it may be moved when you use it; 
for example, when opening/closing th e tray or installing/removing the 
toner cartridge. Be careful not to move the machine. 
Pay attention not to overload paper. Paper overloading may 
cause paper jams .

This chapter provides informat ion for maintaining your machine and the toner cartridge.
This chapter includes:
• Cleaning your machine
• Maintaining the Printing cartridge • Replacing the toner cartridge
• Replacing the imaging unit
CLEANING YOUR MACHINE
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time 
the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.
Cleaning the outsideClean the cabinet of the machine with a 
soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen 
the cloth slightly with water, but be care ful not to let any water drip onto or 
into the machine.
Cleaning the inside
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate 
inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as 
toner specks or smearing. Cleaning t he inside of the machine clears or 
reduces these problems.
1. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord, then wait for the 
machine to cool down.
2. Open the front cover. 3.
Pull the printing cartridge out and remove it from the machine.
• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials 
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong 
substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.
• If your machine or its surrounding is contaminated with toner, we  recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water to 
clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blown into the air may 
be harmful. 
• Do not touch the green surface (or sky blue), the OPC drum, with your hands or any other material. Use the handle on the printing 
cartridge to avoid touching this area.
• Be careful not to expose the green surface (or sky blue), the OPC  drum, into light. This will cause damage to the OPC drum. Cover 
the printing cartridge’s OPC drum with paper to avoid damaging it 
from the light.
• Do not turn the printing cartridge over.
Because the machine is very light, it may be moved when you use it; 
for example, when opening/closing th e tray or installing/removing the 
printing cartridge. Be careful not to move the machine.

MAINTAINING THE PRINTING CARTRIDGE
Toner cartridge storage
Toner cartridges contain componen ts that are sensitive to light, 
temperature, and humidity. Sams ung suggests users follow the 
recommendations to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality, and 
longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environ ment 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 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:
• Inside the protective bag from the original package 
• Correct side up in a horizontal position (not standing on end)
• Do not store consumables in;  - Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F). 
- Humidity range less than 20% and not greater than 80%.
- An environment with extreme chan ges 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 pho tosensitive drum in the cartridge. 
• Do not expose the cartridge to un necessary 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 re filled 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. 
Estimated cartridge life
Estimated cartridge life (the life of  the toner cartridge yield) depends on the 
amount of toner that print jobs requ ire. 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 cons umption of the toner is high and you 
may need to change the cartridge more often. 
Redistributing toner
Faded or light areas can appear even  if you have enough toner. Faded or 
light area means the toner  is not well distributed, you can improve print 
quality by redistributing the printing cartridge.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Pull the printing cartridge out and remove it from the machine.
•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.• Avoid reaching too far into the machine. The fusing area may be  hot.
• To prevent damage to the printing  cartridge, do not expose it to 
light for more than few minutes.
• Do not touch the green surface (or sky blue), the OPC drum, with 
your hands or any other material. Use the handle on the printing 
cartridge to avoid touching this area.
