FAXING (SCX-4720F ONLY)7.177Receiving Faxes Using the DRPD Mode“Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. The particular number someone uses to call you is identified by different ringing patterns, which consist of various combinations of long and short ringing sounds. This feature is often used by answering services who answer telephones for many different clients and need to know which number someone is calling in on to properly answer the phone.Using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection feature, your fax machine can “learn” the ring pattern you designate to be answered by the fax machine. Unless you change it, this ringing pattern will continue to be recognized and answered as a fax call, and all other ringing patterns will be forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT jack. You can easily suspend or change Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection at any time.Before using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection option, Distinctive Ring service must be installed on your telephone line by the telephone company. To set up Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection, you will need another telephone line at your location, or someone available to dial your fax number from outside. To set up the DRPD mode:1Press Menu until “Fax Setup” appears on the top line of the display.The first available menu item, “Receive Mode,” displays on the bottom line.2Press the scroll button ( or ) until you see “DRPD Mode” on the bottom line and press Enter.3When “Set” displays on the bottom line, press Enter. “Waiting Ring” appears on the display.4Call your fax number from another telephone.

Press Enter when “DRPD Mode” displays and retry from step 3.6To return to Standby mode, press Stop/Clear.When the DRPD feature is set up, the DRPD option is available in the Receive Mode menu. To receive faxes in the DRPD mode, you need to set the menu to DRPD; see page 7.5.NOTES:• DRPD must be set up again if you re-assign your fax number, or connect the machine to another telephone line.• After DRPD has been set up, call your fax number again to verify that the machine answers with a fax tone. Then have a call placed to a different number assigned to that same line to be sure the call is forwarded to the extension telephone or answering machine plugged into the EXT jack. Receiving Faxes in the MemorySince your machine is a multi-tasking device, it can receive faxes while you are making copies or printing. If you receive a fax while you are copying or printing, your machine stores incoming faxes in memory. Then, as soon as you finish copying or printing, the machine automatically prints the fax.

MAINTENANCE8.38Cleaning Your MachineTo maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.CAUTIONS: • Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with surfactants containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to touch the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge. Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.Cleaning the OutsideClean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the machine.Cleaning the InsideDuring 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 the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems.1Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the machine to cool down.2Open the front door and pull the toner cartridge out, lightly pushing it down. Set it on a clean flat surface.
MAINTENANCE8.4CAUTIONS: • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. • Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.3With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.CAUTION: Do not touch the black transfer roller inside the machine. 4Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if dirt turns the white cotton black.5Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the door.6Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.
MAINTENANCE8.58Cleaning the Scan UnitKeeping 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.1Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with water.2Open the document cover.3Wipe the surface of the document glass and ADF glass until it is clean and dry.4Wipe the underside of the white document cover and white sheet until it is clean and dry.5Close the document cover.Document coverDocument glassWhite sheetADF glass
MAINTENANCE8.6Maintaining the Toner CartridgeToner cartridge storageTo 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 machine warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes.Saving tonerTo save toner, press the Toner Save button on the control panel; see page 2.23. The button backlight turns on. Using this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page, but it also reduces print quality. Expected Cartridge LifeThe life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 5,000 pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine lasts an average of 3,000 pages.) The actual number may be different depending on the print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.
MAINTENANCE8.78Redistributing TonerWhen the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or light print occurs. The LCD displays the warning message, “Toner Low.” You can temporarily reestablish the print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.NOTE: Your machine can print received faxes when the toner is nearly empty. For details, see page 8.11.1Open the front door.2Pull the toner cartridge out and gently roll the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area. 3Reinstall the cartridge and close the front door.
MAINTENANCE8.8Replacing the Toner CartridgeWhen the display on the control panel shows the warning message, “Toner Empty Replace Toner,” the machine stops printing. At this stage, the toner cartridges needs to be replaced. 1Open the front door.2Lightly pushing the used cartridge down, pull it out.
MAINTENANCE8.983Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently roll it horizontally 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.Save the box and the plastic bag for shipping.NOTE: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.CAUTION: Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area. 4Hold the toner cartridge by the handle. Slowly insert the cartridge into the opening in the machine. Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the machine will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.GrooveTab

TROUBLESHOOTING9.28Common Linux ProblemsProblem Possible Cause and SolutionThe machine doesn’t print• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open MFP 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 Start button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The "stopped" status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred. For instance, this could be an attempt to print document when MFP port is claimed by a scanning application.• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the device. The other “consumer” will encounter “device busy” response. You should open MFP ports configuration and select the port assigned to your printer. In the Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by some other application. If this is the case, you should wait for completion of the current job or should press Release port button, if you are sure that the present owner is not functioning properly.Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter in the command item.The machine does not appear on the scanners list• Check if your machine is attached to your computer. Make sure that it is connected properly via the USB port and is turned on.• Check if the scanner driver for you machine is installed in your system. Open MFP Configurator, switch to Scanners configuration, then press Drivers. Make sure that driver with a name corresponding to your machine's name is listed in the window.

TROUBLESHOOTING9.30I can’t print when I installed both Linux Print Package (LPP) and MFP driver on the same machine simultaneously.• Since both Linux Printer Package and MFP driver make a symbolic link to “lpr” printing command, which is commonly used on Unix clones, it is not recommended to use both package on the same machine. • If you still want to use both packages simultaneously, please install the LPP first. • If you want to uninstall only one of them, please uninstall both packages and install that one you want to use again. • If you don’t want to uninstall MFP driver and install it again, you may make the necessary symbolic link yourself. Please, log in as root user and invoke the following command: ln -sf /usr/local/bin/samsung/slpr /usr/bin/lprCan’t scan via Gimp Front-end.• Check if Gimp Front-end has “Xsane:Device dialog..” on the “Acquire” menu. If not, you should install Xsane plug-in for Gimp on the your computer. You can find Xsane plug-in package for Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp home page. For the detail information, refer to the Help for Linux distribution CD or Gimp Front-end application. If you wish to use other kind of scan application, refer to the Help for application.I encounter error “Cannot open MFP port device file” when printing a document.Please avoid changing print job parameters (via SLPR utility, 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 Linux MFP 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. Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The package also delivers powerful applications for configuring your machine and further processing of the scanned documents.After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver package allows you to monitor a number of MFP devices via fast ECP parallel ports and USB simultaneously. The acquired documents can then be edited, printed on the same local MFP or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to an FTP site, or transferred to an external OCR system.The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible installation program. You don't need to search for additional components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all required packages will be carried onto your system and installed automatically; this is possible on a wide set of the most popular Linux clones.

USING YOUR MACHINE IN LINUXA.7AUsing the MFP ConfiguratorMFP Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring MFP devices. Since an MFP device combines the printer and scanner, the MFP Configurator provides options logically grouped for printer and scanner functions. There is also a special MFP port option responsible for the regulation of access to an MFP printer and scanner via a single I/O channel.After installing the MFP driver (see page A.3), the MFP Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.Opening the MFP Configurator1Double-click MFP Configurator on the desktop.You can also click the Startup Menu icon and select Samsung MFP and then MFP Configurator.2Press each button on the Modules pane to switch to the corresponding configuration window.You can use the onscreen help by clicking Help.3After changing the configurations, click Exit to close the MFP Configurator.Printers Configuration buttonScanners Configuration buttonMFP Ports Configuration button

USING YOUR MACHINE IN LINUXA.10MFP Ports ConfigurationIn this window, you can view the list of available MFP ports, check the status of each port and release a port that is stalled in busy state when its owner is terminated for any reason.Sharing Ports Between Printers and ScannersYour machine may be connected to a host computer via the parallel port or USB port. Since the MFP 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 Samsung MFP driver package provides an appropriate port sharing mechanism that is used by Samsung printer and scanner drivers. The drivers address their devices via so-called MFP ports. The current status of any MFP port can be viewed via the MFP Ports Configuration. The port sharing prevents you from accessing one functional block of the MFP device, while another block is in use.When you install a new MFP printer onto your system, it is strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an MFP 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 MFP’s functionality. For MFP scanners I/O ports are being chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so proper settings are applied by default.Releases the selected port.Renews the available ports list.Switches toMPF portsconfiguration.Shows the port type,device connected tothe port and statusShows all of the available ports.

SPECIFICATIONSD.8NOTES: • 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 machine 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).Paper SpecificationsPaper Output CapacityJamming, damage to machine Cutouts or perforations Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations.Problems with feeding Ragged edges Use good quality paper.Category SpecificationsAcid content 5.5 pH or lowerCaliper 0.094 ~ 0.18 mm (3.0 ~ 7.0 mils)Curl in ream Flat within 5 mm (0.02 in.)Cut edge conditions Cut with sharp blades with no visible fray.Fusing compatibilityMust not scorch, melt, offset or release hazardous emissions when heated to 200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.Grain Long grainMoisture content 4 % ~ 6 % by weightSmoothness 100 ~ 400 SheffieldOutput Location CapacityFace-down output tray 150 sheets of 75 g/m2 bond (20 lb) paperFace-up output slot 1 sheet of 75 g/m2 bond (20 lb) paperSymptom Problem with Paper Solution
SPECIFICATIONSD.9DPaper Storage EnvironmentPaper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.Ideally, the machine 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 performance. The required condition is 20 to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of 45 % to 55 %. The following guidelines should be considered when evaluating the paper’s 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 machine environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.EnvelopesEnvelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90g/m2 (24lb) or jamming may occur.• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6mm (0.25in.) 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.
SPECIFICATIONSD.10• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges.NOTES:• Use only the manual feeder to print envelopes.• You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than 140 mm (5.5 in.). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page D.9.Envelopes with Double Side SeamsDouble side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or FlapsEnvelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the machine. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even damage the fuser.Envelope MarginsThe following gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope.Minimum MaximumMultipurpose tray 76 X 127 mm(3 X 5 in.)216 X 356 mm(8.5 X 14 in.)Type of Address Minimum MaximumReturn address 15 mm (0.6 in.) 51 mm (2 in.)Delivery address 51 mm (2 in.) 90 mm (3.5 in.)CorrectIncorrect
SPECIFICATIONSD.11DNOTES:• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in.) from the edges of the envelope.• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.Envelope StorageProper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during printing.LabelsCAUTIONS: • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels recommended for laser printers.• To prevent serious jams, always use the manual feeder to print labels and always use the rear output tray.• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial sheet of labels.When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13mm (5in.) of curl in any direction.• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or other indications of separation.TransparenciesTransparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180°C (356°F), the machine’s fusing temperature.CAUTION: To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
