Printing a network configuration page
Introduction
Once you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45
Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users.
You need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods:
Via network administration programs
You can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage the printer via the following programs that came with your printer:
• SyncThru™ Web Admin Service: A web-based printer management solution for network administrators. SyncThru™ Web
Admin Service provides you with an efficient way of managing network devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network printers from any site with corporate intranet access.
• SyncThru™ Web Service: A web server embedded to your network print server, which allows you to configure the network parameters necessary for the printer to connect to various network environments.
• SetIP: A utility program allowing you to select a network interface and manually configure the addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol.
For further details, refer to the user’s guide on the network utilities CD that came with your printer.
Via the control panel
You can set up the following basic network parameters through the printer’s control panel:
• Configure TCP/IP
• Configure IPX frame types for NetWare
• Configure EtherTalk

Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the printer
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print media, consider the following:
• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are described later in this section.
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Notes
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Samsung has no control.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
Caution
• Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on the next column.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser printers.
• Avoid using the following media types:
- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough
- Erasable bond paper
- Multi-paged paper
- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.
• Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your printer.
• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.
Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 o
C and 30 o
C
(59 o
F to 86 o
F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and
70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.
• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multipurpose tray to avoid paper jams.
• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.
Guidelines for special print media
Media type
Envelopes
Guidelines
• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m
2
(24 lb) or jamming may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm
(0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.
- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
- Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and well creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.
Acceptable
Unacceptable
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the printer’s fusing temperature of 195° C (383° F) for
0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
5.3
<Loading print media>
Media type Guidelines
Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
• Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 195° C (383° F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the printer.
• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.
Labels • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels designed for use in laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 195° C (383° F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any direction.
- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between labels. Exposed areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
• Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the printer.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock or custom-sized materials
• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm
(3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least
6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material.
5.4
<Loading print media>
Media type
Preprinted paper
Guidelines
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 195° C (383° F) for 0.1 second.
• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
Loading paper
Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray
1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 75 g/m
2
(20 lb) plain paper.
You can purchase optional trays and attach them below the standard tray to load an additional 500 sheets of paper for each tray. You can attach up to three additional trays. For order information for optional trays, see

Using the multi-purpose tray
The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print media, such as transparencies, postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.
To load paper in the multi-purpose tray:
1
Pull the multi-purpose tray down towards you and pull the multipurpose tray extension to hold longer paper.
• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.
Note
• To print on envelopes, you must open the rear cover and push the fuser levers upwards. The print quality will be enhanced.
2
If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.
For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
3
Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first.
• Labels: Print side up and the top short edge entering the printer first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up and the top edge entering the printer first.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down and an uncurled edge entering the printer first.
Note
• Make sure that you have not loaded too much print media. The print media buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you push it in too far.
Caution
• When you print on special media like envelopes, labels, transparencies, or cards, the output location should be the rear
cover. Open the rear cover to use it. See page 5.8.
Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines:

After printing, put the multi-purpose tray extension back to its place and close the multi-purpose tray.
Tips on using the multi-purpose tray
• Load only one size of print media at a time in the multi-purpose tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other tray.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.2 to avoid paper
jams and print quality problems.
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the multi-purpose tray.
• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) sized media on the multi-purpose tray, open the rear cover for straight paper path to avoid paper jams.
• When you print on transparencies, open the rear cover. If not they may tear while exiting the printer.
Using manual feed mode
You can manually load a sheet of print media in the multi-purpose tray if you select Manual Feed in the Source option from the Paper tab when you change print settings to print a document. See the Software
section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.
This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading in the multi-purpose tray, except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in the tray, send print data to print the first page, and press Stop on the control panel to print each following page.
2
Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

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 printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minute.
Expected cartridge yield
The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.
Your machine sets the toner remains in 3 levels, Toner Low, Replace
Toner, and Toner Exhausted. The machine is designed to detect the toner remains and stop printing when the level is Toner Exhausted, for preventing your machine from severe contamination or malfunction.
Refer to page 7.1 for supplies information.
Saving toner

Misformed characters
Page skew
Suggested solutions
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:
• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive mark occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet several times to clean the
cartridge; see page 8.3. After the printout, if
you still have the same problems, install a new
toner cartridge. See page 8.5.
• Parts of the printer 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.
Background scatter results from bits of toner 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.
• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or via the printer properties window.
• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollowed images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See
• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it also occurs on a

Common Linux problems
Condition
The printer doesn’t print.
Suggested solutions
• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device.
• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains “(stopped)” string, please, press the OK button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The
"stopped" status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred.
Condition
I encounter error
“Unable to open mfp port device file!” when printing a document.
PDF file does not print correctlysome parts are missing in the graphics, text or illustrations.
Suggested solutions
Please avoid changing print job parameters
(via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks mfp port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred, please, try to release the mfp port.

Precautions when installing accessories
Disconnect the power cord:
Never remove the control board cover while the printer is plugged in.
To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external accessories.
Discharge static electricity:
The control board and internal accessories (Wireless network interface card, DIMM, and hard disk) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or removing internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk round before finishing installation, discharge any static electricity once again.
Installing a memory DIMM
Your printer has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot. Use this
DIMM slot to install additional memory.
Your printer has 64 MB of memory which can be expanded to 512 MB.
For information about ordering optional DIMMs, see page 7.1.

Advanced Options
You can set advanced settings by clicking the Advanced
Options button.
• TrueType Options: This option determines what the driver tells the printer about how to image the text in your document.
Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your document.
This option may be available only in
Windows 9x/Me, depending on your particular printer model.
- Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If, after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful when printing Adobe.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.
- Download as Bitmap: When this option is selected, the driver will download the font data as bitmap images.
Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or
Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.
- Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this setting.

- Print Even Pages: Your printer prints only the even numbered pages of the document.
• Information Page: Select Banner Page to print a banner sheet containing the printer name, the network user ID, job name before printing the document. When several users send a print job to the printer, this option allows you to easily find your printing from the output tray.
Some printers do not support this feature.
• Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time.
When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very different from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.
• Save as Form for Overlay: Select Save as Form for Overlay to save the document as a form file (C:\FORMOVER\*.FOM). Once this option is selected, the printer driver requires the file name and the destination path each time you print. If you want to preset the file name and specify the path, click on the button in the Output to area, and type the file name and specify the path.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.

Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.
Creating a New Page Overlay
