The machine does not print special-sized paper, such as billing paper.

Paper size and paper size setting do not match.

Set the correct paper size in the Custom in Paper tab in Printing Preferences .

The printed billing paper is curled.

The paper type setting does not match.

Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click Paper tab, and set type to Thick .

5. Troubleshooting 201

Printing quality problems

If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, there might be a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem.

Condition

Light or faded print

Suggested Solutions

• If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page, the toner supply is low. Install a new toner cartridge.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough.

• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the toner save mode off. See the help screen of the printer driver.

• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine.

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

The top half of the paper is printed lighter than the rest of the paper

The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.

• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled .

Toner specks • The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough.

• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine.

• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.

White Spots


If faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:

• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.

• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper.

• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.

• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click the Paper tab, and set type to Thick .

If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

If white spots appear on the page:

• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from paper falls to the inner components within the machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine.

• The paper path may need cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine.

If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

Vertical lines If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface (drum part) of the toner cartridge inside the machine has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.



Condition

Black background

Toner smear


If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:

• Change to a lighter weight paper.

• Check the environmental conditions: very dry conditions or a high level of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can increase the amount of background shading.

• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one.

• Thoroughly redistribute the toner (see "Redistributing toner" on page 49).

• Clean the inside of the machine.

• Check the paper type and quality.

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.

Vertical repetitive defects If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:

• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If you still have the same problem, remove the toner cartridge and, install a new one.

• Parts of the machine may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages.

• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.



Condition Suggested Solutions

Background scatter

A

Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page.

• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.

Or select Thick Envelope from the Printing Preferences window (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 40).

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or in Printing Preferences .

Ensure the correct paper type is selected.

• If you are using a new toner cartridge, redistribute the toner first.

Toner particles are around bold characters or pictures

The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.

• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled .

Ensure the correct paper type is selected.

Misformed characters • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try different paper.



Page skew


• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.


• Ensure that the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.

Curl or wave • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl.

• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

Wrinkles or creases • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.





Condition

Back of printouts are dirty


• Check for leaking toner. Clean the inside of the machine.

Solid color or black pages

A

Loose toner

• The toner cartridge may not be installed properly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.

• The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.

• The machine may require repairing. Contact a service representative.

• Clean the inside of the machine.


• Remove the toner cartridge and then, install a new one.

If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.


Curl


Condition

Character voids

A

Horizontal stripes


Character voids are white areas within parts of characters that should be solid black:

• If you are using transparencies, try another type of transparency. Because of the composition of transparencies, some character voids are normal.

• You may be printing on the wrong surface of the paper. Remove the paper and turn it around.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications.

If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:

• The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.

• The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.

If the problem persists, the machine may require repairing. Contact a service representative.

If the printed paper is curled or paper does not feed into the machine:


• Change the printer’s paper option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click the Paper tab, and set type to Thin .




• An unknown image repetitively appears on a few sheets

• Loose toner

• Light print or contamination occurs

Your machine is probably being used at an altitude of 1,000 m (3,281 ft) or above.

The high altitude may affect the print quality, such as loose toner or light imaging. Change the altitude setting for your machine (See

"Altitude adjustment" on page 157).


Operating system problems

1

Common Windows problems

Condition

“File in Use” message appears during installation.

Suggested solutions

Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the startup group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver.

“General Protection Fault”,

“Exception OE”, “Spool 32”, or

“Illegal Operation” messages appear.

“Fail To Print”, “A printer timeout error occurred” message appear.

Close all other applications, reboot Windows and try printing again.

These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine finishes printing. If the message appears in ready mode or after printing has completed, check the connection and/or whether an error has occurred.

Samsung Printer Experience is not installed. Download the app. from the Windows Store and install it.

Samsung Printer Experience is not shown when you click more settings .

Machine information is not displayed when you click the device in the Devices and

Printers .

Check the Printer properties . Click the Ports tab.

( Control Panel > Devices and Printers > Right-click on your printer icon and select Printer properties )

If the port is set to File or LPT, uncheck them and select TCP/IP, USB, or WSD.

Refer to the Microsoft Windows User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Windows error messages.



2

Common Mac problems

Condition Suggested solutions

The machine does not print PDF files correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing.

Printing the PDF file as an image may enable the file to print. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options.

It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image.

Some letters are not displayed normally during cover page printing.

Mac OS cannot create the font while printing the cover page. The English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally on the cover page.

When printing a document in Mac with

Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, colors print incorrectly.

Make sure that the resolution setting in your machine driver matches the one in Acrobat Reader.

Refer to the Mac User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Mac error messages.



3

Common Linux problems

Condition Suggested solutions

When printing more than one copy, the second copy does not print.

The problem occurs on Ubuntu 12.04 due to the problem in standard CUPS filter 'pdftops'. Update 'cups-filters' package to version

1.0.18 to fix the problem ('pdftops' is a part of 'cups-filters' package).

Unchecking the collate option in the Print Dialog does not work.

For some distributions, GNOME Print Dialog has an issue handling the collate option. As workaround, set the default value of collate option to False using the system's printing utility(execute "system-config-printer" in the Terminal program).

This duplex issue was in Ubuntu 9.10 CUPS package. Update CUPS version to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.2.

Printing always works with duplex.

Printer is not added through system's printing utility.

Paper size and orientation are disabled in the Print Dialog when opening text files.

The problem occurs on Debian 7 due to the defect in 'system-config-printer' package of the Debian 7 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/ bugreport.cgi?bug=662813 in Debian bug tracking system). Please use another way to add printer (CUPS WebUI for example)

The problem occurs on Fedora 19 and it's related to 'leafpad' text editor on Fedora 19. Please use other text editors like 'gedit'.

Refer to the Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Linux error messages.

Glossary

The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing as well as mentioned in this user’s guide.

802.11

802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN) communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee (IEEE

802).

802.11b/g/n

802.11b/g/n can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps, 802.11n supports bandwidth up to 150

Mbps. 802.11b/g/n devices may occasionally suffer interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and Bluetooth devices.

Access point

Access Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that connects wireless communication devices together on wireless local area networks

(WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver of WLAN radio signals.

ADF

An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a scanning unit that will automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can scan some amount of the paper at once.

AppleTalk

AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for computer networking. It was included in the original Mac (1984) and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.

BIT Depth

A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits increases, the number of possible colors becomes impractically large for a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black and white.

BMP

A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file format on that platform.

.

221

Glossary

BOOTP

Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to each client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP address prior to loading any advanced operating system.

Coverage

It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing. For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a toner usage will be as much as the coverage.

CCD

Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan job. CCD
