If you are experiencing excessive jamming, feed one sheet at a time through the manual feeder. USING PRINT MATERIALS 3.3 Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper. Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print quality. Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that has been fed through a photocopier. Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples. Do not attempt to load any feeder during printing and never overfill the feeder. This could cause a paper jam. Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough. Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printers fusing temperature of 400F (205C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced. Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-
resistant ink that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subject to the printers approximately 400F
(205C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl. 3.4 USING PRINT MATERIALS Selecting the Output Location The printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray. Top output tray Rear output tray 3 To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray, open it. Notes:
If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray. To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer is printing. Printing to the Top Output Tray (Face down) The top output tray collects paper face-down, in correct order. The top output tray should be used for most print jobs. USING PRINT MATERIALS 3.5 Printing to the Rear Output Tray (Face up) The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open. Paper comes out of the printer face-up, and each time a sheet of paper comes out, it falls down from the printer. Printing from the Manual Feeder to the rear output tray provides the straight paper path. Opening the rear output tray might improve the output quality with the following:
envelopes labels transparencies To open the rear output tray:
1 Open the rear door by pulling it down. The cover functions as the output tray. Notes: Please be careful when you open the rear cover. The inside of the printer is still hot. 3.6 USING PRINT MATERIALS 2 If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear output tray close the tray. The pages will stack on the top output tray. 3 Loading Paper Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove the tray while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See Sizes and Capacities on page 3.3 for acceptable paper size and capacities for each tray. The paper level bar on the front of the paper tray shows the amount of paper currently right in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is lowered. Paper full

(Windows 2000/XP) 4.30 PRINTING TASKS Maintaining Your Printer 5 This chapter provides suggestions for maintaining the toner cartridge and the printer. This chapter includes:
Maintaining the Toner Cartridge Cleaning the Printer Consumables and Replacement Parts Maintaining the Toner Cartridge Toner cartridge storage To get the maximum results 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 cartridges 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. Toner cartridge life expectancy The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) Saving toner To save toner, press the Cancel button on the printer control panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the Toner Save in the printer properties. Refer to Using the Toner Save Mode on page 4.8. Selecting this option will extend the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce the print quality. 5.2 MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER Redistributing Toner When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to temporarily improve the print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge. 1 Grasp the front cover and pull it toward you to open. 2 Remove the toner cartridge from the printer. 5 Caution:
Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be hot. To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER 5.3 3 Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six times to redistribute the toner. Note: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. 4 Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer. Ensure that the toner cartridge snaps into place. 5 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed. Replacing the Toner Cartridge If the print remains light after redistributing toner (see page 5.3), replace the toner cartridge. Remove the old cartridge and install a new toner cartridge. See Installing the Toner Cartridge on page 2.4. 5.4 MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER Cleaning the Printer To maintain the print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur. Notes:
Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents, such as thinner, on or around the printer. These can damage the printer. While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge). Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems. Cleaning the Outside Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lint-
free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to be let any water drip onto the printer or inside of it. 5 Cleaning the Inside During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specs or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems. Cleaning inside the printer 1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for the printer to cool. 2 Open the front cover and remove the toner cartridge. MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER 5.5 3 With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity. Note: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minute. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. Also, do not touch the black transfer roller inside the printer. 4 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the cover. 5 Plug in the power cord, and turn the printer on. 5.6 MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER Printing a cleaning sheet If you are experiencing blurred, faded or smeared printouts. Printing a cleaning sheet cleans the drum inside the toner cartridge. This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded. 1 Ensure that the printer is turned on and in the Ready mode with paper loaded in the tray. 2 Press and hold down the Cancel button on the control panel for about 10 seconds. 5 3 Your printer automatically picks up a sheet of paper from the tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner particles on it. Note: The cartridge cleaning process takes some time. To stop printing, turn the power off. MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER 5.7 Consumables and Replacement Parts From time to time, you will need to replace the roller and fuser unit to maintain top performance and avoid print quality problems and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts. The following items should be replaced after you have printed a specified number of pages. See the table below. Items Yield (Average) Paper Feeding Roller Transfer Roller Pick-up roller Fuser Unit 60,000 60,000 60,000 60,000 The purchase the consumables and replacement parts, contact Samsung dealer or the place where you bought your product.

If there is a print quality problem, go to Solving Print Quality Problems on page 6.11. If the page does not print, check the cable connection between the printer and the computer. Check the print queue or print spooler to see if the printer has been paused. Check the software application to insure you are using the proper printer driver and communication port. If the page is interrupted during printing, go to Solving General Printing Problems on page 6.3. If completing the checklist does not resolve the printer problem, check the following troubleshooting sections. Solving General Printing Problems on page 6.3. Troubleshooting Error Messages on page 6.17. Common Windows Problems on page 6.18. Common Macintosh Problems on page 6.19. Common Linux Problems on page 6.20. Common DOS problem on page 6.22. 6.2 SOLVING PROBLEMS Solving General Printing Problems For problems with the operation of your printer, refer to the table for suggested solutions. Problem Possible Cause Solution The Printer does not print The printer is not receiving power. Check the power cord connections. Check the power switch and the power source. The printer is not selected as the default printer. Select Samsung ML-1750 Series in the Printer folder in Windows as your default printer. Check the printer for the following:
The printer cover is not closed. Paper is jammed. No paper is loaded. The toner cartridge is not installed. If a printer system error occurs, contact your service representative. The printer may be in Manual Feed mode. Add paper to the manual feeder and press the Cancel button on the printers control panel to begin printing. 6 The connection cable between the computer and the printer is not connected properly. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect it. The connection cable between the computer and the printer is defective. If possible, attach the cable to another computer that is working properly and print a job. You can also try using a different printer cable. The port setting is incorrect. Check the Windows printer setting to make sure that the print job is sent to the correct port (for example, LTP1). If the computer has more than one port, make sure that the printer is attached to the correct one. The printer may be configured incorrectly. Check the printer properties to ensure that all print settings are correct. SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.3 Problem Possible Cause Solution The printer does not print.
(continued) The printer driver may be incorrectly installed. Reinstall the printer driver; see page 2.12. Try printing a demo page. The printer is malfunctioning. Check the LEDs on the control panel to determine if the printer is indicating a system error. Printer selects materials from the wrong paper source. The paper source selection in the printer properties may be incorrect. For many software applications, the paper source selection is found under the Paper tab within the printer properties. Select the correct paper source. See page 4.6. Paper does not feed into the printer. Print job is extremely slow. Paper has not been loaded correctly. Remove paper from the tray and reload it correctly. There is too much paper in the tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. The paper is too thick. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the printer. The job may be very complex. Reduce the complexity of the page or try adjusting the print quality settings. If using Windows 9x/
Me, the Spooling Setting may be set incorrectly. The maximum print speed of the printer is 16(A4) or 17(Letter) pages per minute. From the Start menu, choose Settings and Printers. Right-click the Samsung ML-1750 Series printer icon, choose Properties, click the Details tab, and then choose the Spool Settings button. Select the desired spool setting. Half the page is blank. The page layout is too complex. Simplify the page layout and remove any unnecessary graphics from the document. The page orientation setting may be incorrect. The paper size and the paper size settings do not match. Change the page orientation in your application. Ensure that the paper size in the print settings matches the paper in the tray. 6.4 SOLVING PROBLEMS Problem Possible Cause Solution The paper keeps jamming. There is too much paper in the paper tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. If printing on special materials, use the manual feeder. An incorrect type of paper is being used. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the printer. An incorrect output method is being used. Special print materials, such as thick paper, should not be printed using the top output tray (face-down). Use the rear output tray (face-up) instead. There may be debris inside the machine. Open the front cover and remove the debris. The printer cable is loose or defective. The printer prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete. Disconnect the printer cable and reconnect. Try a print job that you have already printed successfully. If possible, attach the cable and printer to another computer and try a print job that you know works. Finally, try a new printer cable. The wrong printer driver was selected. Check the applications printer selection menu to ensure that your printer is selected. 6 The software application is malfunctioning. The operating system is malfunctioning. Try printing a job from another application. If printing from Windows (any version), exit to a DOS prompt and verify functionality with the following command:
At a C:\ prompt, type Dir LPT1, and press Enter. (This assumes you are connected to LPT1.) Exit Windows and reboot the computer. Turn the printer off and then back on again. SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.5 Problem Possible Cause Solution Pages print, but are blank. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. Redistribute the toner, if necessary. See page 5.3. If necessary, replace the toner cartridge. The file may have blank pages. Check the file to ensure it does not contain blank pages. Some parts, such as the controller or the board, may be defective. The setting in the software application is wrong. Contact a service representative. Print the document with selecting Download as Bit Image in the Advanced options of the Graphic properties. The illustrations print incorrectly in Adobe Illustrator. ATTENTION:
If you have any printing problem after your printer prints about 60,000 pages, you must contact the customer service to replace the transfer roller. 6.6 SOLVING PROBLEMS Clearing Paper Jams Occasionally, paper can be jammed during a print job. Some of causes include:
The tray is loaded improperly or overfilled. The tray has been pulled out during a print job. The front cover has been opened during a print job. Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. If a paper jam occurs, the On Line/Error LED on the control panel lights red. Find and remove the jammed paper. If it is invisible, look inside the printer. In the Paper Exit Area Note: Paper jams in this area may result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water as hot water will set the toner into the fabric. 6 1 If the paper jams as it exits to the output tray and a long portion of the paper is visible, pull the paper straight out. When you pull the jammed paper, if there is resistance and the paper does not move immediately, stop pulling. Continue with the next step. SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.7 2 Open the rear output tray. 3 Loosen the paper if it is caught in the feed rollers. Then pull the paper gently out. Notes: Please be careful when you open the rear cover. The inside of the printer is still hot. 4 Close the rear output tray. 5 Open and close the front cover. Printing can be resumed. 6.8 SOLVING PROBLEMS In the Paper Feed Area 1 Slide out the tray to expose the jammed paper. 2 Remove any missfeed paper by pulling it out by the visible edge from the tray. Make sure that all of the paper is properly aligned in the tray. 6 3 Slide the tray back into the printer. 4 Open and close the front cover. Printing can be resumed. SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.9 Around the Toner Cartridge 1 Open the front cover. 2 Remove the toner cartridge. 3 Gently pull the paper toward you. 4 Check that there is no other paper in the printer. 5 Reinstall the toner cartridge, and then close the cover. Printing can be resumed. 6.10 SOLVING PROBLEMS Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be avoided. If a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in Clearing Paper Jams on page 6.7. Follow the procedures in Loading Paper on page 2.6. Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper is below the paper capacity mark on the right inside of the tray. Do not remove the paper from the tray while printing. Flex, fan and straighten the paper before loading. Do not use creased, damp or highly curled paper. Do not mix paper types in the input tray. Use only recommended print media. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. Ensure that the recommended print side is facing down when loading paper into the input tray. Solving Print Quality Problems Print Quality Checklist Print quality problems can be resolved by following the checklist below. Redistribute toner in the toner cartridge (see page 5.3). Clean the inside of the printer (see page 5.5). Adjust the print resolution from the printer properties (see page 4.16). Ensure that Toner Save Mode is off (see page 4.8). Clear general printing problems (see page 6.3). Install a new toner cartridge, and check the print quality (see page 2.4). SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.11 6 Problem Light or faded print Toner specs Dropouts Solving Print Quality Problems Solution If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:
The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See Redistributing Toner on page 5.3. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge. The paper may not meet paper specifications (for example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too light or Toner Save Mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and Toner Save Mode in the printer properties. See page 4.16 and 4.8 respectively. A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See Cleaning the Inside on page 5.5. The paper may not meet specifications (for example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. The transfer roller may be dirty. See Cleaning the Inside on page 5.5. The paper path may need cleaning. See Cleaning the Inside on page 5.5. 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. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper. The toner cartridge may be defective. See Vertical repetitive defects on the next page. If these steps do not correct the problems, contact a service representative. 6.12 SOLVING PROBLEMS Problem Vertical lines Solution If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been scratched. Install a new toner cartridge. Gray background If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the problem. Change to a lighter weight pages. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. Check the printers environment; very dry (low humidity) or high humidity (higher than 80% RH) conditions can increase the amount of background shading. Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See Installing the Toner Cartridge on page 2.4. Toner smear Clean the inside of the printer. See Cleaning the Inside on page 5.5. Check the paper type and quality. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See Installing the Toner Cartridge on page 2.4. 6 Vertical repetitive defects 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 5.5). After the printout, if you still have the same problems, install a new toner cartridge. See Installing the Toner Cartridge on page 2.4. 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. SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.13 Solution 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 the printer properties. If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it also occurs on a demo page by pressing the Cancel button on the control panel when the printer is ready. For service, contact a service representative. Check the paper type and quality. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack. Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. Turn over the stack of paper in the input tray. Also try rotating the paper 180 in the input tray. Push the output lever and try printing to the face up output slot. Problem Background scatter Misformed characters Page skew Curl or wave 6.14 SOLVING PROBLEMS Problem Wrinkles or creases Solution Insure that the paper is loaded properly. Check the paper type and quality. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. Open the rear cover and try printing to the rear output tray (face-up). Turn over the stack of paper in the input tray. Also try rotating the paper 180 in the feeder. Back of printouts are dirty The transfer roller may be dirty. See Cleaning the Inside on page 5.5. Check for leaking toner. Clean the inside of the printer. Black pages The toner cartridge may not be installed properly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert. The toner cartridge may be defective and need replacing. Install a new toner cartridge. The printer may require repair. Contact a service representative. 6 Loose toner Clean the inside of the printer. Check the paper type and quality. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. Install a new toner cartridge. If the problem persists, the printer may require repair. Contact a service representative. SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.15 Problem Character Voids Horizontal stripes Solution Character voids are white areas within the parts of characters that should be solid black:
If you are using transparencies, try another type of transparency. Because of the composition of the transparency, some character voids are normal. You may be printing on the wrong surface on the paper. Remove the paper and turn it around. The paper may not meet paper specifications. See Paper Specifications on page 7.30. If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:
The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert. The toner cartridge may be defective. Install a new toner cartridge. See Installing the Toner Cartridge on page 2.4. If the problem persists, the printer may require repair. Contact a service representative. 6.16 SOLVING PROBLEMS Troubleshooting Error Messages When the printer experiences an error, the control panel will indicate an error message with the indicator lights. Find the light pattern below that matches the printer light pattern and follow the solutions to clear the error. LED status legend symbol for light off symbol for light on symbol for light blinking LED pattern Possible Problems and Solutions Your system has some problems. If this problem occurs, contact your service representative. 6 On Line/Error LED lights red Paper jam occurs. To solve the problem, see Clearing Paper Jams on page 6.7. The front cover is open. Close the front cover. The toner cartridge is empty. Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See Installing the Toner Cartridge on page 2.4. You pressed the Cancel button while the printer is receiving data. In Manual Feed mode, there is no paper in the Manual Feeder. Load paper into the Manual Feeder. If the printer is receiving data, the On Line/Error LED slowly blinks green. If the printer is printing the received data, the On Line/Error LED blinks green fast. SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.17 Common Windows Problems Problem Possible Cause and Solution File in Use message appears during installation. Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer software. Error Writing to LPTx message appears. Ensure that the cables are connected correctly and the printer is on. If bi-directional communication is not turned on in the driver, it will also cause this message. General Protection Fault, Exception OE, Spool32, or Illegal Operation messages appear. Close all other applications, reboot Windows, and try printing again. Note: Refer to Microsoft Windows 9x, Me, NT 4.0, 2000 or XP Users Guide that came with your PC for further information on Windows error messages. 6.18 SOLVING PROBLEMS Common Macintosh Problems Problems in the Chooser Problem Possible Cause and Solution The printer driver icon does not appear in Chooser. Software is not installed correctly. The LaserWriter driver should be present as a part of the Macintosh OS. Make sure that the LaserWriter driver is in the Extensions folder within the Systems folder. If not, install the LaserWriter driver component from the Macintosh OS CD. Make sure that you are using a high-quality cable. Make sure that the printer is on the correct network. Select Network or AppleTalk Control Panel from Control Panels in the Apple menu and then choose the correct network. The printer name does not appear in Chooser. Make sure that the cables are connected correctly and the printer is turned on. Make sure that the correct printer driver has been selected in Chooser. Printing Errors Problem Possible Cause and Solution You cannot use the computer while the printer is printing. Background Printing has not been selected. For LaserWriter 8.3, turn Background Printing on in the Chooser. Status messages will now be redirected to the Print Monitor allowing you to continue working while the computer is processing data to be sent to the printer. For LaserWriter 8.4 or higher, turn Background Printing on at the Print dialog box. 6 SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.19 Common Linux Problems Problem Possible Cause and Solution I cant change settings in the configuration tool. You need to have administrator privileges to be able to affect global settings. Maybe you do not have the GTK libraries installed. These usually come with most Linux distributions, but you may have to install them manually. Refer to your distributions installation manual for more details about installing additional packages. Some versions of the KDE or GNOME desktop environments may require that you restart your session for the changes to take effect. Some printers have conflicting settings, meaning that some settings for two options cant be selected at the same time. When you change a setting and the Printer Package detects such a conflict, the conflicting option is changed to a No Choice value, and you have to choose an option that does not conflict before being able to submit the changes. In some conditions, it may not be possible to change the default queue. This happens with some variants of LPRng, especially on recent RedHat systems that use the printconf database of queues. When using printconf, the /etc/printcap file is automatically refreshed from the database of printers managed by the system (usually through the printtool command), and the queues in /etc/printcap.local are appended to the resulting file. since the default queue in LPRng is defined as the first queue in /etc/printcap, therefore it is not possible for the Samsung Printer Package to change the default when some queues have otherwise been defined using printtool. LPD systems identify the default queue as the one named lp. Thus if there is already a queue by this name, and if it doesnt have any alias, then you wont be able to change the default. To work around this, you can either delete the queue, or rename it by manually editing the /etc/printcap file. I am using the KDE desktop but the configuration tool and LLPR wont start. I just installed this package but cant find entries in the KDE/
Gnome menus. I get a Some options are not selected error message while editing the printer settings. I cant make a printer the system default. 6.20 SOLVING PROBLEMS Problem Possible Cause and Solution The N-up setting does not work correctly for some of my documents. I am using BSD lpr
(Slackware, Debian, older distributions) and some options chosen in LLPR dont seem to take effect. I am trying to print a document in Landscape mode, but it prints rotated and cropped. Some pages come out all white (nothing is printed), and I am using CUPS. I cant print to a SMB
(Windows) printer. My application seems to be frozen while LLPR is running. The N-up feature is achieved through post-processing of the PostScript data that is being sent to the printing system. However, such post-processing can only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data conforms to the Adobe Document Structing Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up and other features relying on post-
processing if the document being printed isnt compliant. Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on the length of the option string that can be passed to the printing system. As such, if you selected a number of different options, the length of the options may be exceeded and some of your choices wont be passed to the programs responsible for implementing them. Try to select less options that deviate from the defaults, to save on memory usage. Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape orientation option in their printing options will generate correct PostScript code that should be printed as is. In that case, you need to make sure that you leave the LLPR option to its default Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the page that would result in a cropped output. If the data being sent is in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format, some earlier versions of CUPS (1.1.10 and before) have a bug preventing them from being processed correctly. When going through LLPR to print, the Printer Package will work around this issue by converting the data to regular PostScript. However, if your application bypasses LLPR and feeds EPS data to CUPS, the document may not print correctly. To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers (such as printers shared on a Windows machine), you need to have a correct installation of the SAMBA package that enables that feature. The smbclient command should be available and usable on your system. Most Unix applications will expect a command like the regular lpr command to be non-interactive and thus return immediately. Since LLPR is waiting for user input before passing the job on to the print spooler, very often the application will wait for the process to return, and thus will appear to be frozen (its windows wont refresh). This is normal and the application should resume functioning correctly after the user exits LLPR. 6 SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.21 Problem Possible Cause and Solution How do I specify the IP address of my SMB server?
Some documents come out as white pages when printing. I have CUPS and some options (such as N-up) seem to be always enabled even though I dont pick them in LLPR. It can be specified in the Add Printer dialog of the configuration tool, if you dont use the CUPS printing system. Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesnt allow to specify the IP address of SMB printers, so you will have to be able to browse the resource with Samba in order to be able to print. Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with Mandrake Linux before the 8.1 release, have some known bugs when processing the PostScript output from some applications. Try upgrading to the latest version of CUPS
(at least 1.1.14). Some RPM packages for most popular distributions are provided as a convenience with this Linux Printing Package. There may be some local options defined in your ~/
.lpoptions file, which is manipulated by the lpoptions command. These options will always be used if not overridden by LLPR settings. To get rid of all options for a printer, run the following command, replacing printer with the name of the queue: lpoptions -x printer I configured a printer to print to a file, but I get Permission denied errors. Most printing systems will not run as the super-user but as a special user (usually lp). Therefore, make sure that the file you have chosen to print to is accessible to the user owning the spooler daemon. On my PCL (or SPL) printer, I sometimes get error messages printing instead of my document. Unfortunately, some Unix applications may generate non-
compliant PostScript output that may not be supported by Ghostscript, or even the printer itself in PostScript mode. You can try to capture the output to a file and view the results with Ghostscript (gv or ghostview will allow you to do so interactively) and see if you get error messages. However, since the application is at probably fault, contact your software vendor to inform them of the issue. Common DOS problem Problem Possible Cause and Solution Change the emulation to EPSON in the Config tab in the Remote Control Panel. For detailed information about selecting printer settings in the Remote Control Panel, see page 7.22. When using the printer in EPSON Dot Printer Environment, sometimes I can not get the output I want. 6.22 SOLVING PROBLEMS Appendix 7 This chapter includes:

APPENDIX 7.19 Printing from DOS Applications While your printer is primarily a Windows printer, you can also print from a DOS software program using the Remote Control Panel utility provided in the supplied software CD-ROM. About the Remote Control Panel DOS users have access to many printer features through specific DOS printer drivers; however, many software manufactures do not develop printer drivers for their software programs. The printer provides the software control panel for improved printer control when DOS printer drivers are not available or when certain print settings are not available through DOS software programs. Note: The printers Remote Control Panel is not a printer driver. It should be used to set print settings that are not available through DOS software programs. Printer drivers are supplied by the manufacturers of your DOS software programs. If your DOS software program does not include a printer driver for your printer, contact the manufacturer of the software program or use one of the alternate printer drivers. Installing the Remote Control Panel The Remote Control Panel utility is provided on the printer software CD-ROM. 1 Place the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. Installation will start automatically. If the CD-ROM drive does not automatically run:
Select Run from the Start menu, and type x:\cdsetup.exe in the Open box (where x is the drive letter for the CD-ROM drive), and click OK. 7.20 APPENDIX 2 When the language selection window appears, select the appropriate language.

PRINTING In this tab, you can configure general settings for printing. Paper Size sets the paper size. Orientation determines how the output is printed on the page. Paper Tray sets the default paper source. Auto CR sets how the printer performs a carriage return. Copies sets the number of copies printed for each page. Quality specifies the print quality. Margins sets the top and left margin of the print material. 7 APPENDIX 7.23 CONFIG You can configure various printer features. Emulation selects the emulation for printing a document. The factory default is Auto. Power Save determines the length of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it goes to a reduced power state. If the printer is used frequently, select OFF which keeps the printer ready to print with the minimum warm-up time. This uses more power to keep the printer warm and ready to print. Auto Continue determines what action the printer should take when a manual feed print job is sent to the printer. If it is checked, the printer will pick up the paper from the tray after fifteen seconds. Otherwise, the printer will wait for you to load paper in the manual feeder. Jam Recovery determines what action the printer should take when a paper jam occurs. If it is unchecked, the printer does not reprint a page that has jammed. If it is check, the printer keeps the image in memory for a printed page until the printer signals that the page has successfully printed. The printer reprints all jammed pages. Economode determines the toner quantity the printer should use when printing. If it is checked, the printer conserves toner when printing. The default value is unchecked, which provides 100% usage. Altitude: helps the printer optimize its output for a low pressure area, such as a high mountain area. 7.24 APPENDIX Dark Text: allows all text in your document to be printed darker than a normal document. JOB You can set options for improving the quality of your print job. 7 Toner Density determines the toner density of page. The default value is Medium. Paper Type provides the printer with information about the type of paper to be used for a print job. For the best result, set this to the paper type you loaded in the tray of the printer. When using the plain paper, set this to Plain paper. Image Quality improves the print quality of your text and image and make the characters and images appear smoother. It is preset to None at the factory. Time out determins the amount of time (in seconds) the printer will wait before printing the last pag of a print job that does not end with a command to print the page or a formfeed character. You can set from 0 to 300 seconds. APPENDIX 7.25 TEST This tab allows you to print a resident page to test your printers performance. Self Test prints a configuration sheet. A list of the user default settings and the amout of printer memory available prints. Demo Page prints a demonstration page. It shows the printer features and specifications. 7.26 APPENDIX PCL In this tab, you can configure various settings for PCL emulation. 7 Typeface allows you to select the desired typeface. This setting is ignored when the software application specifies a font. Symbol Set determines the symbol set. A symbol set is a set of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special symbols used when printing with a selected font. Pitch sets the font pitch (only if you have selected a scalable monospaced font). Pitch refers to the number of fixed-space characters in a horizontal inch of type. Point Size sets the font point size (only if you have selected a scalable typographic font). Point size refers to the height of the characters in the font. One point equals approximately 1/72 of an inch. You can select point sizes from 4.0 to 999.75 in increments of 0.25 points. Lines Per Page sets the number of lines that print on each page. The setting can range from 5 to 128 lines per page. Courier determines the courier font type: Regular or Dark. Font List prints a font list showing all the fonts available for PCL emulation. APPENDIX 7.27 EPSON You can configure various settings for EPSON emulation. Font allows you to select the desired font. International character set allows you to select a character set of the desired language. Character Table selects the character sets. Pitch sets the font pitch. Pitch refers to the number of fixed-
space characters in a horizontal inch of type. LPI sets the number of lines printed a vertical inch. You can select 6 or 8 lines. Form Lines sets the number of lines that print on each page. Top Margin allows you to set the top margin of the print material. Auto Wrap determines whether or not the printer automatically performs line feed when the data overflows the printable area of the print material.

sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and moisture content, are important factors affecting the printers performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this Users Guide can cause the following problems:
Poor print quality Increased paper jams Premature wear on the printer. Notes:
Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide 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, insure the paper meets the requirements specified in this Users Guide. CAUTION: Using paper that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. These repairs are not covered by the Samsung warranty or service agreements. 7.30 APPENDIX Supported Sizes of Paper Paper Dimensionsa Weight Capacityb Letter A4 Executive Legal B5 (JIS) Folio Minimum size

mental conditions. Note: You may experience jams when using print materials with a length of less than 127 mm (5 in.). For optimum performance, ensure that you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to Printer and Paper Storage Environment on page 7.34. APPENDIX 7.31 Guidelines for Using Paper For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading (such as, bond or recycled), check the label on the package. The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage to the printer. Symptom Problem with Paper Solution Poor print quality or toner adhesion, problems with feeding Too moist, too rough, too smooth or embossed;
faulty paper lot Try another kind of paper, between 100 ~

moisture content. Dropout, jamming, curl Increased gray background shading/printer wear Excessive curl problems with feeding Stored improperly Store paper flat in its moisture-proof wrapping. Too heavy Use lighter paper, open the rear output tray. Too moist, wrong grain direction or short-grain construction Open the rear output tray. Use long-grain paper. Jamming, damage to printer Cutouts or perforations Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations. Problems with feeding Ragged edges Use good quality paper. Notes:
Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. Do not use raised or embossed letterhead. The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200 C or 392 F for 0.1 second). 7.32 APPENDIX Paper Specifications Category Specifications Acid Content 5.5 ~ 8.0 pH Caliper 0.094 ~ 0.18 mm (3.0 ~ 7.0 mils) Curl in Ream Flat within 5 mm (0.02 in.)

Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly. Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams. Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper. Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier. The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition is 20 to 24C (68 to 75F), with a relative humidity of 45% to 55%. The following guidelines should be considered when evaluating the papers storage environment:
Paper should be stored at or near room temperature. The air should not be too dry or too humid. The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the days operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes. 7.34 APPENDIX INDEX C cancel, print 4.4 clean, printer 5.5 cleaning sheet, print 5.7 connect parallel cable 2.9 power cord 2.11 USB cable 2.10 control panel,use 1.6 D demo page, print 2.12 document, print 4.2 E error, solve 6.17 I install software 2.15 toner 2.4 USB driver 2.18 L language, change 2.17 load paper 3.7 O output tray, select 3.5 overlay create 4.22 delete 4.25 print 4.24 P paper jams, clear 6.7 paper load in manual feeder 3.8 in tray 2.6, 3.7 paper size 3.3 paper, capacity 3.3 paper, guidelines 3.4 print cleaning sheet 5.7 demo page 2.12 document 4.2 fit to page 4.13 N-up 4.10 overlay 4.22 poster 4.14 scale 4.12 watermark 4.19 printer cable, connect 2.9 printer, clean 5.5 printer, sharing 4.28 problem DOS 6.22 Linux 6.20 Macintosh 6.19 windows 6.18 S setting darkness 4.16 favorite 4.5 image mode 4.16 paper size 4.6 paper source 4.6 paper type 4.6 resolution 4.16 toner save 4.16 true-type option 4.16 1 software DOS 7.20 install 2.15 Linux 7.10 Macintosh 7.2 overview 2.13 reinstall 2.16 system requirements 2.15 uninstall 2.17 specification paper 7.30 printer 7.29 status monitor, use 4.26 T toner install 2.4 life 5.2 redistribute 5.3 replace 5.4 toner save 4.8 W watermark create 4.20 delete 4.21 edit 4.21 print 4.19 2 Visit us at:
