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 prov id
 es an appropriate port sharing 
mechanism 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 devi ce onto your system
 , it is strongly 
recommended 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 automatical ly, so proper settings are applied 
by default.

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 best 
printing condition and use your machine longer.
 
•Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials 
containing large amounts of alc ohol, solvent, or other strong 
substances can discolor  or distort the cabinet. 
• If 
your machine or the surroundi ng 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 t he 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. Using
 the handle, completely open the front door.
3. Press the green release handle to release the paper transfer belt. 
Holding the handle on the paper transfer belt, lift it out of the machine do 
not touch surface of belt.
 When you open the front door and  work inside the machine, it is 
highly recommend that you remove  the paper transfer belt first. 
Because the work you do could c ontaminate the paper transfer 
belt.
4. Grasp the han
 dles on the toner ca rtridge and pull the cartridge out.
 
If you open the front door, be careful not to touch the underneath 
the control panel (the lower part of  the fuser unit). The temperature 
of the fuser unit might be extr emely hot and could damage your 
skin.

5.With 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 in side parts. Do not use solvents 
such as benzene or thinner to clean. Printing quality problems can 
occur and cause damage to the machine.
6. Locate the lon
 g strip of glass (LSU) inside the machine and using a 
cotton swab, gently clean  the 4 pieces of LSU glass.
7.Slide the toner cartridge back into the machine.  8.
H
olding the handle on the paper transfer belt, align it with the slots on 
the inside of the front door.
9.Lower the paper transfer belt until it is parallel with the front door and 
firmly seated.
10.Close the front door. Ensure that the cover is securely closed. 
 
If the front door is not complete ly closed, the machine will not 
operate. 
11. 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.Op
en the scanner lid.
3.W

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 cartridges.
Store this cartridge in the same environ ment 
 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:
• In
side the protective bag fr om the original package. 
• Sto
re lying flat (not standing on end)  with the same side facing up as if 
they were installed in the machine.
• Do not store
  consumables in;
-Tempe
rature greater than 40°C (104°F).
-Humidi
ty range less than 20% nor not greater than 80%.
-An
 environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
-Direct sun
light or room light.
-Dusty pl
aces.
-A car fo
r a long period of time.
-A
n environment where corrosive gases are present.
-A
n environment with salty air.
Handling instructions
• Do not touch the surface of the pho tosensitive drum in the cartridge.
• Do not expose
  the cartridge to un necessary 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 ref illed toner cartridge
Samsung Electronics does not reco mmend 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 th e toner cartridge yield) depends on the 
amount of toner that print jobs requ ire. 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 cons umption of the toner is high and you 
may need to change the cartridge more often.
Tips for moving & s toring 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.
• W
hen moving the machine, make sure at least two people are holding 
the machine securely. 
• W
hen moving the machine or when machine is not in use for a long time, 
lock the scanner lock.
