Cleaning your machine
To maintain print and scan quality, follow the cleaning 
procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or 
if print and scan quality problems occur.
CAUTION: Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning 
materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or 
other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
Cleaning the outside
Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You 
can 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 cause 
print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. 
Cleaning the inside of the machine clears or reduces these 
problems.
1Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for 
the machine to cool down.
2Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set 
it on a clean flat surface.
CAUTION: 
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it 
to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of 
paper, if necessary. 
• Do not touch the green surface underside of the toner 
cartridge. Use the handle on the toner cartridge to avoid 
touching this area.

3With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled 
toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge 
cavity.
CAUTION: While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful 
not to touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner 
cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print scan quality 
problems. 
4Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the 
toner cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to 
see if dirt turns the white cotton black.
5Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the front cover.
6Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.
Cleaning the drum
If there are streaks or spots on your print, the OPC drum of the 
toner cartridge may require cleaning.
1Before starting the cleaning procedure, make sure that 
paper is loaded in the machine. 
2Press Menu until Maintenance appears on the top line of 
the display.
3Press OK when Clean Drum appears. 
The machine prints out a cleaning page. Toner particles on 
the drum surface are affixed to the paper. 
4If the problem remains, repeat steps 1 through 3.
Cleaning the scan unit
Keeping the scan unit clean helps ensure the best possible 
copies. We suggest that you clean the scan unit at the start of 
each day and during the day, as needed.
1Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with 
water.
2Open the document cover.
3Wipe the surface of the document glass until it is clean and 
dry.

Maintaining the toner cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following 
guidelines in mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until 
ready for use.
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. 
The machine warranty 
does not cover damage caused by using a refilled 
toner cartridge
.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your 
machine.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it 
to light for more than a few minutes.
Saving toner
To save toner, press Menu until Toner Save appears and then 
press 
OK when On appears. Using this feature extends the life 
of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it 
also reduces print quality. 
Expected toner cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner 
that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5% 
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 
pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine 
lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be 
different depending on the print density of the page you print. 
If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the toner 
cartridge more often.
NOTE: The 1,000 pages and 3,000 pages toner cartridge have 
different shapes.
Redistributing the toner cartridge
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs. 
• The warning message, 
Toner Low displays on the control 
panel.
• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer 
telling you that the toner cartridge is low on toner.
•The 
Status LED blinks red. 
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by 
redistributing the remaining toner in the toner cartridge. In 
some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even 
after you have redistributed the toner.
1Open the front cover.
2Pull the toner cartridge out.
3Thoroughly roll the toner cartridge 5 or 6 times to 
distribute the toner evenly inside the toner cartridge.
NOTE: 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.
CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner 
cartridge. Use the handle on the toner cartridge to avoid 
touching this area. 
4Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert 
the toner cartridge into the opening in the machine.
5Tabs on the sides of the toner cartridge and corresponding 
grooves within the machine will guide the toner cartridge 
into the correct position until it locks into place completely.
6Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely 
closed.

 displays on the control panel. 
• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer 
telling you that the toner cartridge is empty.

8Remove the new toner cartridge from its bag.
9Roll the toner cartridge 5 or 6 items to distribute the toner 
evenly inside the toner cartridge.
Thoroughly rolling the toner cartridge will assure 
maximum copies per toner cartridge.
10Remove the paper protecting the toner cartridge.
NOTE: 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.
CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner 
cartridge. Use the handle on the toner cartridge to avoid 
touching this area. 
11Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert 
the toner cartridge into the opening in the machine. 
12Tabs on the sides of the toner cartridge and corresponding 
grooves within the machine will guide the toner cartridge 
into the correct position until it locks into place completely.
13Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely 
closed.
Consumable and replacement 
parts
From time to time, you needs to replace the toner cartridge, 
roller, and fuser unit to maintain top performance and to avoid 
print quality problems and paper feed problems resulting from 
worn parts. The Smart Panel program window will appear on 
the computer, indicating which item needs to be replaced.
The following items should be replaced after you have printed 
the specified number of pages, or when the life span of each 
item has expired. The Smart Panel program window will appear 
on the computer, indicating which item needs to be replaced.
To purchase consumable and replacement parts, contact your 
Samsung dealer or the retailer where you bought your 
machine. We strongly recommend that these items be installed 
by a trained service professional, except for the toner cartridge 
(see page 8.4).
