Page 61: Available Maintenance Parts
Available maintenance parts To purchase maintenance parts, contact the source where you bought the machine. Replacing maintenance parts can be performed only by an authorized service provider, dealer, or the retailer where you bought the machine.

Page 62: Storing The Toner Cartridge
Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can cause internal damage and toner spillage. Toner cartridge usage 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.
Page 63 Storing the 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 yield may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or media size.
Page 64: Redistributing Toner
Redistributing toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life: • White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side. • The Status LED blinks red. If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
Page 65 Redistributing toner • Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge. • 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. 3.
