An unknown image repetitively appears on a next few sheets or loose toner, light print or contamination occurs.Your printer is probably being used at an altitude of 1,000 m (3,281 ft) or above. The high altitude may affect the print quality such as loose toner or light imaging. You can set this option through Printer Settings Utility or Printer tab in printer driver’s properties. See page 1.5. ConditionSuggested solutions “File in Use” message appears during installation.Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver. “Error Writing to LPTx” message appears.• Ensure that the cables are connected correctly and the printer is on. • If bi-directional communication is not turned on in the driver, it will also cause this message. “General Protection Fault”, “Exception OE”, “Spool32”, or “Illegal Operation” messages appear.Close all other applications, reboot Windows, and try printing again.

9.10 Common PostScript problems The following situations are PostScript language specific and may occur when several printer languages are being used.“Fail To Print,” “A printer timeout error occurred,” messages appear.These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the printer finishes printing. If the message appears in standby mode or after printing has been completed, check the connection and/or whether an error has occurred. Note • Refer to Microsoft Windows User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Windows error messages. Note • To receive a printed or screen displayed message when PostScript errors occur, open the Print Options window and click the desired selection next to the PostScript errors section. ConditionPossible causeSuggested solutions PostScript file can not be printed.The PostScript driver may not be installed correctly.• Print a configuration page and verify that the PostScript version is available for printing. • Install the PostScript driver; to installing the PS printer driver, see the Software Section. • If problem consists, contact a service representative. “Limit Check Error” message appears.The print job was too complex.You might need to reduce the complexity of the page. A PostScript error page prints.Print job may not be PostScript.Make sure that the print job is a PostScript job. Check to see whether the software application expected a setup or PostScript header file to be sent to the printer. When print a document in Macintosh with Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, colors print incorrectly.The resolution setting in the printer driver may not be matched with that in Acrobat Reader.Make sure that the resolution setting in your printer driver matches that in Acrobat Reader. ConditionSuggested solutionsCommon Linux problems ConditionSuggested solutions The printer doesn’t print.• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver 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. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the Start button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The stopped status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred. • Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter in the command item. I encounter error “Unable to open mfp port device file!” when printing a document.Please avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks mfp port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred, please, try to release the mfp port. When printing a document over the network in SuSE 9.2, the printer does not print.The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System) version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp (Internet Printing Protocol) printing. Use the socket printing instead of ipp or install later version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher). Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
9.11 Common Macintosh problems ConditionSuggested solutions The printer does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing.Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products: Printing the PDF file as an image may solve this problem. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options. Note: It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image. The document has printed, but the print job has not disappeared from the spooler in Mac OS 10.3.2.Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3 or higher. Some letters are not displayed normally during the cover sheet printing.This problem is caused because Mac OS cannot find the font during the cover page printing. Alphanumeric characters, in the Billing Info field, are only allowed for printing on the cover page. Other characters will be broken on the printout. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
10.1 10 Installing accessories Your machine is a full-featured model that has been optimized to meet most of your printing needs. Recognizing that each user may have different requirements, however, Samsung makes several accessories available to enhance your machine’s capabilities. This chapter includes: • Precautions to take when installing accessories • Installing a memory module Precautions to take when installing accessories Disconnect the power cord Never remove the control board cover while the power is turned on. To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external accessories. Discharge static electricity The control board and internal accessories (network interface card or memory module) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or removing any internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk around before finishing the installation, repeat this procedure to discharge any static electricity again. Installing a memory module Your machine has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Use this memory module slot to install additional memory. When you are expanding the memory capacity, you can add a memory module to the vacant memory slot. Your machine has 32 MB memory, and you can add a 128 MB memory module. Order information is provided for optional memory module. (See Accessory on page 7.1.) 1Turn the machine off and unplug all cables from the machine.2Open the control board cover. 3Take out a new memory module from the plastic bag. 4Holding the memory module by the edges, align the memory module on the slot at about a 30-degree tilt. Make sure that the notches of the module and the grooves on the slot fit each other. Note The notches and grooves illustrated above may not match those on an actual memory module and its slot. 5Press the memory module into the slot with care until you hear a click. Caution Do not press the memory module strongly or the module may be damaged. If the module does not seem to fit into the slot properly, carefully try the previous procedure again.

Note To release the memory module, pull the two tabs on the sides of the slot outwards, then the module springs out. Activating the added memory in the PS printer properties After installing the memory module, you need to select it in the printer properties of the PostScript printer driver in order to use it. 1Make sure that the PostScript printer driver is installed on your computer. For details about installing the PS printer driver, see Software section. 2Click the Windows Start menu. 3For Windows 2000, select Settings and then Printers.
