Handling Instructions; Use Of Non-Samsung And Refilled Toner Cartridge; Estimated Cartridge Life; Redistributing Toner - Samsung SCX-4x26 Series User Manual

Handling instructions

• Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge.
• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
• Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this
can cause internal damage and toner spillage.

Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge

Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of non-
Samsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store
brand, refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges.
Samsung's printer warranty does not cover damage to the
machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-
Samsung brand toner cartridge.

Estimated cartridge life

Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the
amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print-out number may
vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, printing interval, media type, and/or media size. For example,
if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you
may need to change the cartridge more often.

Redistributing toner

When a toner is low, faded or light areas may appear. You can temporarily
improve print quality by redistributing the toner.
• The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on
the display.
• The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you
which cartridge is low on toner.
1. Completely open the front cover.
• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of the
toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material. Use the
handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching this area.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer belt.
• If you leave the front cover open for more than a few minutes, the
OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause damage to the
OPC drum. Close the front cover should the installation need to
be halted for any reason.

2. Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the
cartridge from the machine.
3. Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side
to side to evenly distribute the toner.
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry
cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into
fabric.
4. Slide the toner cartridge back into the machine.
5. Close the front cover. Make sure the cover is securely latched.
If the front cover is not completely closed, the machine will not
operate.
