CLEANING A MACHINE
Ensure power is off and the power cord is unplugged from the wall outlet 
before cleaning your machine. If prin ting quality problems occur or if you 
use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your machine 
regularly to keep the best printing condition and use your machine longer.
 
• Cleaning the cabinet of the mach ine with cleaning materials con-
taining large amounts of alcoho l, so
 lvent, or other strong sub-
stances can discolor or distort the cabinet. 
• If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with 
ton
 er, we recommend you use cloth or tissue dampened with 
water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the 
air and might be harmful to you.
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, toner and dust particles can accumulate 
inside the machine. This buildup can c ause print quality problems, such as 
toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and 
reduces these problems.
1. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to 
co

ol down.
2. Ope
n the top cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a clean flat 
sur
 face.

3.Pull the imaging unit out. Set  it on a clean flat surface.
 
•Do not touch the green su rface of the imaging unit. 
• To prevent damage to the imaging unit, do not expose it to light 
for more
  than a few minutes. Cove r it with a piece of paper, if 
necessary.
4. With a dry lint-fre e
  cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner.
 
•While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to 
touch the transfer roller, lo cated underneath the toner car -
tridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems. 5.
Locate and clean the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the machine and 
u
 sing a cotton swab.
6.Reinsert the imaging unit and toner cartridge.
7. Close the top cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
8. 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 cartridges.
Store this cartridge in the same environment as the printer it will be used in; 
this sh
 ould be in controlled office  temperature and humidity conditions. The 
toner cartridge should remain in its  original, unopened package until instal -
lation – If original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the 
cartridg e with pape

r and store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to  use dram
 atically 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:
• Insi
de the protective bag from the original package. 
• Store lyin g fl
 at (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if 
they were installed in the machine.
• Do not store consumables in;
-Temp erature greater than 40°C (104°F).
- Humidi ty range not less than 20% nor not greater than 80%.
- An environ me
 nt with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
- Direct su nlig
 ht or room light.
- Dusty pl aces.
- A car for a long period of time.
- An environ me
 nt where corrosive gases are present.
- An environment with salty air.
Handling instructions
• Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge.
• Do not expose the cartridge to unn ecessary vi
 brations or shock.
• Never manually rotate the drum, especia lly in the reverse di
 rection; this 
can cause internal damage and toner spillage.

Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge
Samsung Electronics does not reco mmend or approve the use of non-Sam -
sung brand toner cartridges in your  prin
 ter 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 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.
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 bad print quality.
• Whe
n moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding 
the machine securely, you may wish to remove the consumables before 
moving the machine.

							Troubleshooting_ 76
11.troubleshooting
This chapter gives helpful inform ation for what to do if you encounter an error. If your machine has a display screen, check 
the message on the display screen first to solve the error. If you cannot find a  solution in this Users Guide or the problem 
consists, call for service. 
This chapter includes:
• Redistributing toner
• Tips for avoiding paper jams
• Clearing paper jams •
Understanding display messages
• Solving other problems
  
REDISTRIBUTING TONER
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
•Whi te streaks or light printing occurs. 
• The  toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on 
th
 e display.
• The
 Status  LED bli
 nks red. 
If this happens, you can temporarily improve the print quality by redistribut -
ing 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. Open the top cover and pull the toner cartridge out.
2.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 water. Hot  water sets toner into fabric.
3. Reinsert the toner cartridge.
4.Close the top cover. Ensure that  the cover is securely closed. 
 
If the top cover is not completely closed, the machine will not oper -
ate. 
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 next guidelines. 
• En
sure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (See  
 Loading 
paper in tray on page  46 ).
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.
• Flex, fan and straighten paper before loading. 
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in a tray.
• Use only recommended print media (See  
 Setting the default tray and 
paper on page  49 ).
• En
sure that the recommended side of the print media is facing down in 
the 
 tray, or facing up in the multi-purpose tray.
