FAX BRANDING

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission the following information:

(1) the date and time of transmission

(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the message; and

(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or individual.

The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities, equipment operations or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service

RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBER

The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have "overloaded" the line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network.

FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service, providing that they:

a) promptly notify the customer.

b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.

c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E of Part 68.

You should also know that:

• Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.

• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as your machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems with all the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for a regular telephone, share the line with your machine.

• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and electronic specialty stores.

• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service dispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually test the emergency number.

• This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.

• This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of a standard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.

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.

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.

Loading original documents and paper

Selecting print materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print materials that meet the guidelines for use with your machine. Paper 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 machine.

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the machine's performance and the output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for your project.

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper input tray.

• Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:

- 16 to 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m 2) bond for the paper input tray

- 16 to 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m 2) bond for the manual feeder.

• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

NOTES:

• Some paper 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 paper, ensure that the paper meets the requirements specified in this user's guide.

C AUTION: Using paper that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by the Samsung warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print materials

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the specifications listed on page 3.2.

• 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 paper 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 machine.

• Store paper 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 materials at temperatures between 15 o C and 30o C (59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

• Store unused paper in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

• Load special paper types one sheet at a time through the manual feeder to avoid paper jams.

• To prevent materials such as transparencies and label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

Loading original documents and paper

Guidelines for special materials

Paper Type			Guidelines
Envelopes	• 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/m2 (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
	machine 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 machine's fusing temperature of 208° C (406.4° 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.

Paper Type	Guidelines
Transparencies	• To avoid damaging the machine, use only
	transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
	• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to
	withstand 208° C (406.4° F), the machine's fusing
	temperature.
	• Place them on a flat surface after removing them
	from the machine.
	• 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 machine, use only labels
	designed for use in laser printers.
	• When selecting labels, consider the following
	factors:
	- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable
	at 208° C (406.4° F), the machine'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 machine components.
	• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine
	more than once. The adhesive backing is designed
	for only a single pass through the machine.
	• Do not use labels that are separating from the
	backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
	otherwise damaged.
Card stock or	• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3
custom-sized	inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
materials	• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4
	mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the
	material.

3.4

Loading original documents and paper

Paper Type	Guidelines
Preprinted paper	• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink
	that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous
	emissions when subjected to the machine's fusing
	temperature of 208° C (406.4° 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

In the paper input tray

Load the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in the paper input tray. The paper input tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 21 lb (80 g/m2) plain paper.

To load paper, pull open the paper input tray and load paper with the side to be printed on face down.

You can load letterhead paper with the design side face down. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be placed at the front of the paper input tray.
