Replace the roller in reverse order, and then close the front panelfirmly until it clicks into place.
6.7MaintenanceCaring for the Toner CartridgeExpected Cartridge LifeThe life of your toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner used ineach print job. For instance, when you print a typical business letter withabout 5% page coverage, you can expect a toner cartridge life ofapproximately 2,500 pages (1,000 pages only for the toner cartridgeshipped with your machine). The actual number may vary according tothe print density of the page you print. If you print a lot of graphics, youmay need to change the cartridge more often.You can extend the life of your toner cartridge by using Toner Save Mode on the printer properties (page 5.11) or on the front panel (page 1.24).The Toner Save Mode uses less toner than normal printing. The printedimage is much lighter, and is adequate for printing drafts or proofs.Replacing the Toner CartridgeWhen the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks or huechanges will occur. You can temporarily re-establish the print quality byre-distributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.1. Open the cover and remove the toner cartridge.2. Gently shake the cartridge to distribute the toner evenly inside thecartridge.3. Reinstall the cartridge and close the cover.This is typically successful one time only. When the toner eventually runsout, only blank pages will print when a print job is sent, or when a fax is received. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced.See the following page.
6.8Maintenance2. Remove the old toner cartridge. Follow the instructions printed on thecartridge box to recycle the used cartridge.3. Unpack a new toner cartridge from its plastic bag, and then removethe paper rolled the cartridge. Take the following steps to replace the toner cartridge:1. Pulling the cover release buttons toward you, open the cover.
6.9Maintenance5. Find the cartridge slots inside the machine, one on each side. Graspthe handle and slide the cartridge down between the cartridge slotsuntil it drops into place.4. Shake the cartridge from side to side 5 or 6 times to distribute thetoner evenly inside the cartridge.6. Close the cover firmly until it snaps closed.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.In Case of InterferenceIn normal operation, your SAMSUNG fax machine produces and uses radio-frequency energy. In some cases, this can cause interference to other electronicequipment. Part 15 of the FCC rules establishes guidelines limiting the amountof radio-frequency energy which may be produced by electronic equipment.Tests have proven that your Samsung FAX machine meets or exceeds theseguidelines, and is classified a “Class B Digital Device” for operation in aresidential environment. When installed and operated according to instructions,your SAMSUNG fax machine should not cause interference to the types ofequipment expected to be found in a normal residential environment.Unauthorized changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to operatethe equipment.
A.8 AppendixFax BrandingThe Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for anyperson to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via atelephone facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a marginat the top or bottom of each transmitted pageor 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 themessage; and(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, businessentity or individual.See pages 1.22 to 1.23 for instructions on how to enter this information intoyour Samsung FAX machine’s memory.The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,equipment operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably requiredin the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules andregulations in FCC Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected torender any customer terminal equipment incompatible with telephone companycommunications facilities, or require modification or alteration of such terminalequipment, or otherwise materially affect its use or performance, the customershall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the customer an opportunityto maintain uninterrupted service.In the event your SAMSUNG fax machine appears to cause interference to otherelectronic equipment, it can often be easily remedied. First determine if thesource of interference really is your FAX machine. To do this, turn its power offand on while observing the equipment experiencing the interference. If theinterference disappears when you turn the FAX machine off, the following stepscan be very effective in correcting interference problems:• Connect the FAX machine to an AC outlet which is on a different circuitbreaker from the equipment experiencing interference.• Increase the distance between the FAX machine and the equipmentexperiencing interference.• Cable TV amplifiers and splitters are extremely prone to interference. Becertain that they are as far as possible from the FAX machine and its ACpower and telephone cords.• Replace “twin lead” antenna wire with shielded coaxial cable, and use properconnectors and adaptors.• Turn or relocate the receiving antenna. In most cases this is easily done bysim-ply moving a radio. A TV antenna may need to be re-oriented or installedin another area of the building.• Consult your dealer, a reputable radio/TV technician, or an Amateur RadioOperator for help.* To locate an Amateur Radio Operator in your area, contact The AmericanRadio Relay League, 610 Main St., Newington, CT 06111.
A.9AppendixTelephone Company InformationFCC IDENTIFICATION NUMBERThe Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this equipmentmay be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In someinstances you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.RINGER EQUIVALENCE NUMBERThe Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed onthe telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded”the line. Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line mayresult in problems making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing whenyour line is called. The sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment onyour telephone line should be less than five in order to assure proper service fromthe telephone company. In some cases, a sum of five may not be usable on yourline. If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you shouldimmediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to thetelephone network.WARNING:FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment notexpressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operatethis equipment. In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to thetelephone network, the telephone company should notify the customer that servicemay be stopped. However, where prior notice is impractical, the company maytemporarily 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 FederalCommunication Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules andRegulations Subpart E of Part 68.You should also know that:• Your Samsung FAX machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBXsystem.• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line asyour FAX machine, you may experience transmission and reception problems withall the equipment. It is recommended that no other equipment, except for aregular telephone, share the line with your FAX machine.• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, werecommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and thetelephone lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer ortelephone and electronic specialty stores.• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergencynumbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency servicedispatcher of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions onhow to actually test the emergency number.• This equipment may not be used on coin service or party lines.• This telephone provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.• You may safely connect this equipment to the telephone network by means of astandard modular jack, USOC RJ-11C.
