    The printer 
    does not 
    print. The printer is not 
    receiving power.
    Check the power cord 
    connections. Check the power 
    switch and the power source.
    The printer is not 
    selected as the 
    default printer. Select 
     
    Samsung ML-3470 
    Series
      as your default printer.
    The printer cover 
    is not closed. Close the printer cover.
    Paper is jammed. Clear the paper jam. See  page 9.1.
    No paper is 
    loaded. Load paper. See page 5.4.
    The toner 
    cartridge is not 
    installed. Install the toner cartridge.
    The printer may 
    be in manual feed 
    mode and out of 
    paper. Check the display message, 
    add paper to the multi-purpose 
    tray, and press 
    OK on the 
    printer’s control panel.
    The connection 
    cable between 
    the computer and 
    the printer is not 
    connected 
    properly. Disconnect the printer cable 
    and reconnect it.
    The connection 
    cable between 
    the computer and 
    the printer is 
    defective. If possible, attach the cable to 
    another computer that is 
    working properly and try to print 
    a document. You can also try 
    using a different printer cable.
    The port setting is 
    incorrect. Check the Windows printer 
    setting to make sure that the 
    print job is sent
     to the correct 
    port. If the computer has more 
    than one port, make sure that 
    the printer is attached to the 
    correct one.
    The printer 
    does not 
    print.
    (Continued) The printer may 
    be configured 
    incorrectly. 
    Check the printer properties to 
    ensure that all of the print 
    settings are correct. 
    The printer driver 
    may be 
    incorrectly 
    installed. Reinstall the printer driver; See 
    the 
    Software Section . Try 
    printing a test page.
    The printer is 
    malfunctioning. Check the display message on 
    the control panel to determine if 
    the printer is indicating a 
    system error.
    Printer 
    selects print 
    materials 
    from the 
    wrong paper 
    source. The paper source 
    selection in the 
    printer properties 
    may be incorrect. For many software 
    applications, the paper source 
    selection is found under the 
    Paper tab within the printer 
    properties. Select the correct 
    paper source. See the 
    Software Section
    .
    Paper does 
    not feed into 
    the printer. Paper has not 
    been loaded 
    correctly.
    Remove paper from the tray 
    and reload it correctly.
    Check that the paper size 
    guides are set correctly.
    There is too much 
    paper in the tray. Remove excess paper from the 
    tray.
    The paper is too 
    thick. Use only paper that meets 
    printer specifications.
    Print job is 
    extremely 
    slow. The job may be 
    very complex. Reduce the complexity of the 
    page(s) or try adjusting the 
    print quality settings.
    To adjust the print quality 
    settings, reduce the resolution. 
    If you have set the resolution to 
    1200 dpi 
    (Best ), change it to 
    600 dpi  (Normal ). See the 
    Software Section .
    Change the port setting to the 
    USB or network port to improve 
    print speed.
    Your printer prints A4-sized 
    paper at 33 ppm and letter-
    sized paper at 35 ppm and your 
    printer prints A4-sized paper at 
    17 ipm and letter-sized paper at 
    18 ipm in the duplex printing 
    mode.
    The computer 
    may have 
    insufficient 
    random-access 
    memory (RAM).  Install more memory in your 
    printer. See page 10.1.

    is too complex.
    Simplify the page layout and 
    remove any unnecessary 
    graphics from the document.
    Install more memory in your 
    printer. See page 10.1.
    The page 
    orientation setting 
    may be incorrect. Change the page orientation in 
    your application. See the 
    Software Section

    The paper size 
    and the paper 
    size settings do 
    not match. Ensure that the paper size in 
    the printer driver settings 
    matches the paper in the tray.
    Or, ensure that the paper size 
    in the printer driver settings 
    matches the paper selection in 
    the software application 
    settings you use.
    The paper 
    keeps 
    jamming. There is too much 
    paper in the tray.
    Remove excess paper from the 
    tray. 
    If printing on special materials, 
    use the multi-purpose tray.
    An incorrect type 
    of paper is being 
    used. Use only paper that meets 
    printer specifications.
    If printing on special materials, 
    use the multi-purpose tray.
    An incorrect 
    output method is 
    being used. Special print materials, such as 
    thick paper, should not be 
    printed using the output tray 
    (face-down). Use the rear 
    cover (face-up) instead.
    There may be 
    debris inside the 
    printer. Open the front cover and 
    remove the debris.
    The printer 
    prints, but 
    the text is 
    wrong, 
    garbled, or 
    incomplete. If you are under 
    the DOS 
    environment, the 
    font setting for 
    your machine 
    may be set 
    incorrectly.
    Change the font setting. 
    See page 2.6.
    The printer cable 
    is loose or 
    defective. Disconnect and reconnect the 
    printer cable. Try a print job that 
    you have already printed 
    successfully. If po
    ssible, attach 
    the cable and printer to another 
    computer and try a print job 
    that you know works. Finally, 
    try a new printer cable.

    and verify functionality with the 
    following command: At a 
    C:\ 
    prompt, type  Dir LPT1, and 
    press 
    OK. (This assumes you 
    are connected to LPT1.)
    Exit Windows and reboot the 
    computer. Turn the printer off 
    and then back on again.
    Pages print, 
    but are 
    blank. The toner 
    cartridge is 
    defective or out of 
    toner.
    Redistribute the toner 
    cartridge. See page 8.3.
    If necessary, replace the toner 
    cartridge. See page 8.4.
    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. Contact a service 
    representative.
    The 
    illustrations 
    print 
    incorrectly in 
    Adobe 
    Illustrator. The setting in the 
    software 
    application is 
    wrong.

    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.

    Solving print quality problems
    Dirt inside of the printer or improper paper loading may reduce print 
    quality. See the table below  to troubleshoot problems. 
    ConditionSuggested solutions
    Light or faded 
    print If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on 
    the page:
    • The toner supply is low. You may be able to 
    temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See 
    page 8.3. If this does not improve print quality, 
    install a new toner cartridge.
    • The paper may not meet paper specifications  (for example, the paper is too moist or too 
    rough). See page 5.3.
    • If the entire page is light, the print resolution  setting is too light or toner save mode is on. 
    Adjust the print resolution and toner save mode 
    in the printer properties. See the  Software 
    Section .
    • A combination of faded or smeared defects 
    may indicate that the printer needs cleaning. 
    See page 8.1.
    • The surface of LSU may be dirty. Clean the 
    LSU. See page 8.1.
    To n e r  s p o ts • The paper may not meet  specifications (for 
    example, the paper is to o moist or too rough). 
    See page 5.3.
    • The transfer roller or paper path may be dirty. 
    See page 8.1.
    Dropouts If generally rounded, faded areas occur randomly 
    on the page:
    • A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try 
    reprinting the job.
    • The moisture content of the paper is uneven or  the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a 
    different brand of paper. See page 5.3.
    • The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing  processes can cause some areas to reject 
    toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
    • The toner cartridge may be defective. See  “Vertical repetitive defects” on the next page.
    • If these steps do not  correct the problems, 
    contact a service representative.

    Vertical lines
    If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
    • The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been scratched. Install a new toner 
    cartridge. 
    Gray 
    background If the amount of background shading becomes 
    unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the 
    problem.
    • Change to lighter weight pages. See page 5.3.
    • Check the printer’s envi
    ronment; very dry (low 
    humidity) or high humidity (higher than 80% 
    RH) conditions can increase the amount of 
    background shading.
    • Remove the old toner cartridge and install a  new one. See page 8.4.
    Toner smear • Clean the inside of the printer. See page 8.1.
    • Check the type and quality. See page 5.2.
    • Remove the toner cartridge and install a new 
    one. See page 8.4.
    Ve r t ic a l 
    repetitive 
    defects If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of 
    the page at even intervals:
    • The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a 
    repetitive mark occurs on the page, print a 
    cleaning sheet several times to clean the 
    cartridge; see page 8.2.  After the printout, if 
    you still have the same problems, install a new 
    toner cartridge. See page 8.4.
    • Parts of the printer may have toner on them. If  the defects occur on the back of the page, the 
    problem will likely correct itself after a few more 
    pages.
    • The fusing assembly may be damaged.  Contact a service representative.

    Background 
    scatter Background scatter results from bits of toner 
    distributed on the printed page. 
    • The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a 
    different batch of paper. Do not open packages 
    of paper until necessary  so that the paper does 
    not absorb too much moisture.
    • If background scatter occurs on an envelope,  change the printing layout to avoid printing over 
    areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse 
    side. Printing on seams can cause problems.
    • If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print 
    resolution through your software application or 
    via the printer properties window.
    Misformed 
    characters • If characters are improperly formed and 
    producing hollowed images, the paper stock 
    may be too slick. Try a different paper. See 
    page 5.3.
    • If characters are improperly formed and  producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may 
    need service. Verify that it also occurs on a 
    demo page (see page 2.5). For service, contact 
    a service representative.
    Page skew • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
    • Check the paper type and quality. See 
    page 5.2.
    • Ensure that the paper or other material is 
    loaded correctly and the guides are not too 
    tight or too loose against the paper stack.
    Curl or wave • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
    • Check the type and quality. Both high 
    temperature and humidity can cause paper 
    curl. See page 5.2.
    • Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try  rotating the paper 180° in the tray.
    • Try printing to the rear cover (face-up).
    Wrinkles or 
    creases • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
    • Check the paper type and quality. See 
    page 5.2.
    • Open the rear cover and  try printing to the rear 
    cover (face-up).
    • Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try  rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

    composition of the transparency, some 
    character voids may be normal. 
    • You may be printing on the wrong surface on 
    the paper. Remove the paper and turn it 
    around. 
    • The paper may not meet paper specifications. 
    See page 5.3.
    Horizontal 
    stripes If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears 
    appear:
    • The toner cartridge may be installed

    Common Linux problems
    ConditionSuggested solutions
    The printer doesn’t 
    print. • Check if the printer driver is installed in your 
    system. Open Unified Dr iver 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 “pri nt” -> “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 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 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).
