Check the display message, and solve the problem referring to "Understanding display messages" on page 76. • Small amount of toner is left in the cartridge. The estimated cartridge life of toner is close. You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. (See "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 68.) On • A problem has occurred such as a paper jam, cover is open or no paper in the tray, so that the machine cannot continue the job. Check the message on the display, and refer to "Understanding display messages" on page 76 to solve the problem. • A toner cartridge has reached its estimated cartridge life. (See "Understanding display messages" on page 76.) Always check the message on the display to solve the problem. The instruction in the Troubleshooting section will guide you to operate the machine properly. See "Understanding display messages" on page 76 for more information. ACKNOWLEDGING THE STATUS OF THE TONER CARTRIDGE The status of toner cartridges is indicated by the Status LED and the LCD display. If the toner cartridge is low or needs to be replaced, the Status LED turns red and the display shows the message. However the arrow mark shows which color toner is of concern or may be installed with a new cartridge. Example: The above example shows the yellow cartridge status indicated by the arrow. Check the message to find out what the problem is and how to solve it. See "Understanding display messages" on page 76 to browse the detailed information on error messages. Estimated cartridge life means the expected or estimated toner cartridge life, which indicates the average capacity of print-outs and is designed pursuant to ISO/OEC 19798. (See "Specifications" on page 88) The number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. Some amount of toner may remain in the cartridge even when "Toner Exhausted" appears and the printer stops printing. Samsung does not recommend using non-genuine Samsung toner cartridge such as refilled or remanufactured. Samsung cannot guarantee non-genuine Samsung toner cartridge's quality. Service or repair required as a result of using non-genuine Samsung toner cartridges will not be covered under the machine warranty. 20 _Introduction
