Replacing the Fitted Plug (for UK Only)

Important
The mains lead for this machine is fitted with a standard (BS 1363) 13 amp plug and has a 13 amp fuse. When you change or examine the
fuse, you must re-fit the correct 13 amp fuse. You then need to replace the fuse cover. If you have lost the fuse cover, do not use the plug until
you have another fuse cover.
Contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal
13 amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove the moulded plug.
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you plug it into a socket.

Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals Regulatory information_ 9

 Important warning:
You must earth this machine.
The wires in the mains lead have the following color code:
• Green and Yellow: Earth
• Blue: Neutral
• Brown: Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter “E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or
green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N” or colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L” or colored red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

Cleaning a 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 the most
optimum print quality.
• Cleaning the outside 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 that you use a cloth or tissue dampened
with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in
the air and might be harmful if inhaled.

Cleaning the outside • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to

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 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 it 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 according to the
following guidelines:
• Inside the protective bag from the original package.
• Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it
was installed in the machine.
• Do not store consumable in any of the following conditions:
- 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 photoconductive 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 yield 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.

This chapter gives helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error.
This chapter includes:
• Redistributing toner • Clearing paper jams
• Tips for avoiding paper jams • Solving other problems

Redistributing toner The tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within
the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life: into place completely.
• White streaks or light printing occurs.
• The LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing
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.
When you open the top cover, make sure that the output tray is
closed.
2. Pull the toner cartridge out.

5. Close the top cover. Ensure that the cover is securely closed.

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 guidelines below:
• Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. (See
"Loading paper in the tray" on page 29.)
• Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper
capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
3. Thoroughly roll the cartridge five or six times to distribute the toner • Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
evenly inside the cartridge. • 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.
• Ensure that the recommended side of the print media is facing the right
side. (See "Loading paper in the tray" on page 29.)

• If duplexing, print one sheet at a time using the . (See "Printing on

both sides of the paper (Manual)" on page 35.)
• If you are printing on a special paper, print one sheet at a time using the
. (See "Manual feeding in the tray" on page 29.)
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.
Do not touch the drum in the the toner cartridge or imaging unit.
