Setting up the hardware
This section shows the steps to set up the hardware, as is explained in the
Quick Install Guide. Make sure you read the Quick Install Guide first and
follow the steps below:

Location

1. Select a stable location.
Select a level, stable place with adequate space for air circulation. Allow
extra space for opening cover(s) and tray(s).
The area should be well ventilated and away from direct sunlight or
sources of heat, cold, and humidity. Do not set the machine close to the
edge of your desk or table.
Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft).
Place the machine on a flat, stable surface so that there is no incline
greater than 2 mm (0.08 inch). Otherwise, printing quality may be
affected.
2. Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.
3. Remove tape holding the machine securely.
4. Install the toner cartridge.
5. Load paper. (See "Loading paper in the tray" on page 29.)
6. Make sure that all cables are connected to the machine.
7. Turn the machine on. (See "Turning on the machine" on page 21.)
This machine will not operate when the power main fails.
Printing a configuration sheet
Print a configuration page to make sure that the machine is operating
properly.
To print a configuration page:
In the ready mode, press and hold for about 10 seconds until the green
LED blinks slowly, and release.

must install the printer software. If you are a Windows or Macintosh OS
user, install the software from the supplied CD and if you are a Linux OS
user, download the software from the Samsung website
(www.samsung.com/printer) and install.
Machine software is occasionally updated for reasons like the release
of new operating system and etc. If needed, download the latest
version from the Samsung website (www.samsung.com/printer).
