							Loading original documents and paper
3.7
If you use paper which is not long enough to reach the output 
tray
, use the scan unit.
To use the scan unit:
1Lift the scan unit. A tab automatically springs up to 
support the cover.
2Take the paper out manually.
3Close the scan unit. In order to close the cover, push the 
tab to the left and hold it down. Then lower the cover 
carefully until the cover is holding down the tab. Then you 
can move your hand and finish lowering the cover.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers!
NOTES:
• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the 
output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the 
surface, and especially keep children away from the surface.
• The output tray can hold up to 50 sheets of paper. Remove 
the pages so that tray is not overloaded.
Printing to the rear cover (Face up)
Using the rear cover, paper comes out of the machine face up.
Printing from the manual feeder to the rear cover provides a 
straight paper path. Using the rear cover might improve the 
output quality with special materials.
To use the rear cover, open the rear cover by pulling it up. 
CAUTION: The fuser area inside the rear cover of your 
machine becomes very hot when in use. Take care when you 
access this area.

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.

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
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to 
light, temperature, and humidity. Samsung 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 environment 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 changes 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 photosensitive drum in 
the cartridge. 
• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary 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 refilled 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. 
CAUTION: 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 require. 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 consumption of 
the toner is high and you may need to change the cartridge 
more often.
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.
