Replacing Supplies

From time to time, you need to replace the following items to
maintain top performance and to avoid print quality problems

and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts.

The following items should be replaced after you have printed
the specified number of pages or when the life span of each

item has expired. The SmartPanel program window will appear
on the computer, indicating which item needs to be replaced.
The display on the control panel will also show an error

message, indicating which item needs to be replaced. See
below.

To purchase replacement parts, contact your Samsung dealer

or the retailer where you bought your printer. We strongly
recommend that items be installed by a trained service
professional, except for the toner cartridges (see 6.4), the

paper transfer belt (see 6.5), and the fuser unit (see 6.7).

Managing Toner Cartridges

Toner Cartridge Storage

To get the maximum results from a toner cartridge, keep the
following guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove toner cartridges from their packages until

you are ready to use them.

• Do not refill toner cartridges. 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 toner cartridges, do not expose them

to light for more than a few minutes.

Toner Cartridge Life Expectancy

The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner

that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5%
coverage, the toner cartridges last an average of 4,000 pages
for black and each color.

Redistributing Toner

When a toner cartridge is low on toner, faded or light areas may
appear. It is also possible that colored images may be printed
with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing of toner colors when

one of the colored toner cartridges is low on toner. The
SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling
you which color cartridge is low on toner. Also, the display on

the control panel shows the error message, “Ready [Color] Low
Toner”.

The printer is able to continue to print using the current toner

cartridge until the SmartPanel program window appears on the
computer telling you to replace the cartridge, or the control
panel displays that message.

You may be able to temporarily improve print quality by
redistributing the toner. When the ‘[Color] Toner Empty’ message
appears, the printer will stop printing until a new toner cartridge

put into the printer.
