Samsung website and install (See Installing the SmartPanel on page 32).
 To use this program, you need the following  system requirements:
• Windows. Check for windows operating system(s) compatible with  yo
 ur machine (See System requirements on page  30).
• Mac OS X 10.3 or higher.
• Linux. Check for Linux systems that are compatible with your  ma
 chine (See System requirements on page  30).
• Internet Explorer version 5.0 or higher for flash animation in HTML  He
 lp.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners
Your machine may be connected to a host computer via a parallel port 
or USB port. Since the machine device contains more than one device 
(printer and scanner), it is necessary to organize proper access of 
“consumer” applications to these devices via the single I/O port.
The Unified Linux Driver package provides an appropriate port sharing 
me

chanism that is used by Samsung printer and scanner drivers. The 
drivers talk to their devices via so-called machine ports. The current 
status of any machine port can be viewed via the  Ports configuration. 
The port sharing prevents you from accessing one functional block of 
the machine device, while another block is in use.
When you install a new machine device onto your system, it is strongly 
rec

ommended you do this with the assistance of an Unified Driver 
Configurator. In this case you will be asked to choose I/O port for the 
new device. This choice will provide the most suitable configuration for 
machine’s functionality. For machine scanners, I/O ports are being 
chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so proper settings are applied 
by default.

6.Press Stop/Clear to return to ready mode.
CLEANING THE MACHINE
If printing 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 machine with cleaning materials 
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong 
substances can discolor or distort the cabinet. 
• If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with 
toner, 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 cause 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 
cool down.
2. O
pen the front door and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a clean flat 
surface
 
• 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  ca
 rtridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching 
this area.
3. Wit
h a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the 
toner cartridge area.
 
While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to damage 
the transfer roller or any other inside parts. Do not use solvents 
such as benzene or thinner to clean. Printing quality problems can 
occur and cause damage to the machine. 4.
L
ocate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge 
compartment and gently clean the glass with a swab.
5.Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the front door.
6. Pl
ug in the power cord and turn the machine on.
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.
1.Sl
ightly dampen a soft, lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.
2.O
pen the scanner lid.
3.W
ipe the surface of the scanner glass and the document feeder glass 
until it is clean and dry.
4.Wipe the underside of the scanner lid and white bar until it is clean and 
dry.
5. C
lose the scanner lid.
STORING THE TONER CARTRIDGE
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.

							Maintenance_ 90
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. 
•Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if 
they were installed in the machine.
•Do not store consumable 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.
 
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.
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.
•When moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding 
the machine securely.
