3 Using Print Materials This chapter will help you understand types of paper you can use with this printer and how to properly load paper in the tray for the best print quality.
Choosing Paper and Other Materials You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Paper Specifications” on page 7.30. To get the best possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper. When you choose print materials, consider the followings: • Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project. • Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters of the paper feeder.
Sizes and Capacities Input Source/Capacitya Size Tray Manual Feeder Letter (8.5 x 11 in.) 250 1 Plain Paper Legal (8.5 x 14 in.) 250 1 Executive (7.25 x 10.5 in.) 250 1 Folio (8.5 x 13 in.) 250 1 A4 (210 x 297 mm) 250 1 B5 (182 x 257 mm) 250 1 A5 (148 x 210 mm) 250 1 A6 (105 x 148 mm) 250 1 - 1 1 1 1 1 1 - 1 1 Letter (8.5 x 11 in.) A4 (210 x 297 mm) - 1 1 Card stocksb - 1 3 Envelopesb No. 10 (4.12 x 9.5 in.) Monarch (3.87 x 7.5 in.
Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special materials, keep these guidelines in mind: • Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality. • Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper. • Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print quality. • Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that has been fed through a photocopier.
Selecting the Output Location The printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray. ❷ Top output tray ❷ Rear output tray 3 To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray, open it. Notes: • If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output tray. • To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer is printing.
Printing to the Rear Output Tray (Face up) The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it is open. Paper comes out of the printer face-up, and each time a sheet of paper comes out, it falls down from the printer. Printing from the Manual Feeder to the rear output tray provides the straight paper path. Opening the rear output tray might improve the output quality with the following: • envelopes • labels • transparencies To open the rear output tray: 1 Open the rear door by pulling it down.
2 If you do not want to print to the rear output tray then close the tray. The pages will stack on the top output tray. 3 Loading Paper Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove the tray while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and Capacities” on page 3.3 for acceptable paper size and capacities for each tray. The paper level bar on the front of the paper tray shows the amount of paper currently in the tray.
Using the Manual Feeder If you select Manual Feed in the Source option, you can manually load paper in the manual feeder. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed. If you experience a paper jam from the tray, load one sheet of paper at a time into the manual feeder. 1 Load the print material in the manual feeder with the print side up. Adjust the paper guide against the print material without bending the paper.
In Manual Feed mode, you can’t cancel a print job by pressing the Cancel button. To cancel a print job in Manual Feed mode: 1 Turn the printer off. 2 Double-click the icon at right bottom of the window. 3 Double-click this icon to view the queue of the print jobs. 3 Select a job you want to cancel. 4 For Windows 9x/Me, select Cancel Printing from Document menu. For Windows NT/2000/XP, select Cancel from Document menu. 5 When the jobs are removed from the list. Turn the printer on.
Printing on Envelopes Guidelines • Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before loading envelopes in the manual feeder, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together. • Do not feed stamped envelopes. • Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer. 1 Open the rear output tray. Load the envelopes into the manual feeder with the flap side down.
3 When you print on envelopes, you must select Manual Feed for Source from the software application, and then select the correct paper size and type. For details, see page 4.6. 4 Press the Cancel button to start feeding. Note: Please be careful when you open the rear cover. The inside of the printer maybe hot. 5 Printing is started.

5 Maintaining Your Printer This chapter provides suggestions for maintaining the toner cartridge and the printer.
Maintaining the Toner Cartridge Toner cartridge storage To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind. • Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use. • Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge. • Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer. • To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minute.
Redistributing Toner When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to temporarily improve the print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge. 1 Grasp the front cover and pull it toward you to open. 5 2 Push the toner cartridge down and remove it from the printer. Caution: • Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be hot.
3 Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six times to redistribute the toner. Note: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. 4 Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer. Ensure that the toner cartridge snaps into place. 5 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed. If it is not firmly closed, printing errors may occur when you print.
Cleaning the Printer To maintain the print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur. Notes: • Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents, such as thinner, on or around the printer. These can damage the printer. • While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge). Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.
3 With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity. Note: To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minute. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. Also, do not touch the black transfer roller inside the printer. 4 Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed. If it is not firmly closed, printing errors may occur when you print.
Printing a cleaning sheet If you are experiencing blurred, faded or smeared printouts. Printing a cleaning sheet cleans the drum inside the toner cartridge. This process will produce a page with toner debris, which should be discarded. 1 Ensure that the printer is turned on and in the Ready mode with paper loaded in the tray. 2 Press and hold down the Cancel button on the control panel for about 10 seconds.
Consumables and Replacement Parts From time to time, you will need to replace the roller and fuser unit to maintain top performance and avoid print quality problems and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts. The following items should be replaced after you have printed a specified number of pages. See the table below.
6 Solving Problems This chapter provides helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error while using your printer.
Troubleshooting Checklist If the printer is not working properly, consult the following checklist. If the printer does not pass a step, follow the corresponding troubleshooting suggestions. Check Solution Check the power cord and the power switch. Check the power source by plugging into another outlet. Make sure that the On Line/Error LED is on. In the Ready mode, the On Line/Error LED lights green. If the On Line/Error LED lights red or blinks, go to “Troubleshooting Error Messages” on page 6.18.
Solving General Printing Problems For problems with the operation of your printer, refer to the table for suggested solutions. Problem The Printer does not print Possible Cause Solution The printer is not receiving power. Check the power cord connections. Check the power switch and the power source. The printer is not selected as the default printer. Select Samsung ML-1750 Series in the Printer folder in Windows as your default printer.
Problem Possible Cause The printer does not print. (continued) The printer driver may be incorrectly installed. Reinstall the printer driver; see page 2.16. Try printing a demo page. The printer is malfunctioning. Check the LEDs on the control panel to determine if the printer is indicating a system error. Printer selects materials from the wrong paper source. The paper source selection in the printer properties may be incorrect.
Problem The paper keeps jamming. The printer prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete. Possible Cause Solution There is too much paper in the paper tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. If printing on special materials, use the manual feeder. An incorrect type of paper is being used. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the printer. An incorrect output method is being used.
Problem Possible Cause Pages print, but are blank. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. Solution Redistribute the toner, if necessary. See page 5.3. If necessary, replace the toner cartridge. The illustrations print incorrectly in Adobe Illustrator. The file may have blank pages. Check the file to ensure it does not contain blank pages. Some parts, such as the controller or the board, may be defective. Contact a service representative. The setting in the software application is wrong.
Clearing Paper Jams Occasionally, paper can be jammed during a print job. Some of causes include: • The tray is loaded improperly or overfilled. • The tray has been pulled out during a print job. • The front cover has been opened during a print job. • Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on page 7.30. • Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on page 7.30.
2 Open the rear output tray. 3 Loosen the paper if it is caught in the feed rollers. Then pull the paper gently out. Note: Please be careful when you open the rear cover. The inside of the printer is still hot. 4 Close the rear output tray. 5 Open and close the front cover. Printing can be resumed. 6.
In the Paper Feed Area 1 Slide out the tray to expose the jammed paper. 2 Remove any missfeed paper by pulling it out by the visible edge from the tray. Make sure that all of the paper is properly aligned in the tray. 6 3 Slide the tray back into the printer. 4 Open and close the front cover. Printing can be resumed. SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.
Around the Toner Cartridge 1 Open the front cover. 2 Push the toner cartridge down and remove it from the printer. 3 Gently pull the paper toward you. 4 Check that there is no other paper in the printer. 5 Reinstall the toner cartridge, and then close the cover. Printing can be resumed. 6.
Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams When Printing on the A5-sized Paper If paper jams frequently occur when you print on the A5-sized paper: 1 Open the input tray and load paper into the tray as shown below. 2 Open the Samsung ML-1750 Series Properties window, set the paper size to A5(5.8x8.3 in.) from the Paper tab. 3 From the Orientation option of the Layout tab, set the Rotate option to 90º. 6 Select 90 degrees. Click. 4 Click OK to start printing. SOLVING PROBLEMS 6.
Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be avoided. If a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in “Clearing Paper Jams” on page 6.7. • Follow the procedures in “Loading Paper” on page 2.6. Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly. • Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper is below the paper capacity mark on the right inside of the tray. • Do not remove the paper from the tray while printing.
Solving Print Quality Problems Problem Solution Light or faded print If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page: • The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See “Redistributing Toner” on page 5.3. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge. • The paper may not meet paper specifications (for example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See “Paper Specifications” on page 7.30.
Problem Vertical lines Solution If black vertical streaks appear on the page: • The drum inside the toner cartridge has probably been scratched. Install a new toner cartridge. Gray background If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the problem. • Change to a lighter weight pages. See “Paper Specifications” on page 7.30.
Problem Solution Background scatter Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on the printed page. • The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture. • If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.
Problem Wrinkles or creases Solution Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. • Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper Specifications” on page 7.30. • Open the rear cover and try printing to the rear output tray (face-up). • Turn over the stack of paper in the input tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the feeder. Back of printouts are dirty • The transfer roller may be dirty. See “Cleaning the Inside” on page 5.5. • Check for leaking toner. Clean the inside of the printer.
Problem Character Voids Solution Character voids are white areas within the parts of characters that should be solid black: • If you are using transparencies, try another type of transparency. Because of the composition of the transparency, some character voids are normal. • You may be printing on the wrong surface on the paper. Remove the paper and turn it around. • The paper may not meet paper specifications. See “Paper Specifications” on page 7.30.
Troubleshooting Error Messages When the printer experiences an error, the control panel will indicate an error message with the indicator lights. Find the light pattern below that matches the printer light pattern and follow the solutions to clear the error. LED status legend symbol for “light off” symbol for “light on” symbol for “light blinking” LED pattern Possible Problems and Solutions Your system has some problems. If this problem occurs, contact your service representative. • Paper jam occurs.
Common Windows Problems Problem Possible Cause and Solution “File in Use” message appears during installation. Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer software. “Error Writing to LPTx” message appears. • Ensure that the cables are connected correctly and the printer is on. • If bi-directional communication is not turned on in the driver, it will also cause this message.
Common Macintosh Problems Problems in the Chooser Problem Possible Cause and Solution The printer driver icon does not appear in Chooser. Software is not installed correctly. • The LaserWriter driver should be present as a part of the Macintosh OS. Make sure that the LaserWriter driver is in the Extensions folder within the Systems folder. If not, install the LaserWriter driver component from the Macintosh OS CD. • Make sure that you are using a high-quality cable.
Common Linux Problems Problem Possible Cause and Solution I can’t change settings in the configuration tool. You need to have administrator privileges to be able to affect global settings. I am using the KDE desktop but the configuration tool and LLPR won’t start. Maybe you do not have the GTK libraries installed. These usually come with most Linux distributions, but you may have to install them manually.
Problem Possible Cause and Solution The N-up setting does not work correctly for some of my documents. The N-up feature is achieved through post-processing of the PostScript data that is being sent to the printing system. However, such post-processing can only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data conforms to the Adobe Document Structing Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up and other features relying on postprocessing if the document being printed isn’t compliant.
Problem Possible Cause and Solution How do I specify the IP address of my SMB server? It can be specified in the “Add Printer” dialog of the configuration tool, if you don’t use the CUPS printing system. Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn’t allow to specify the IP address of SMB printers, so you will have to be able to browse the resource with Samba in order to be able to print. Some documents come out as white pages when printing.
Common DOS problem Problem Possible Cause and Solution When using the printer in EPSON Dot Printer Environment, sometimes I can not get the output I want. Change the emulation to EPSON in the Config tab in the Remote Control Panel. For detailed information about selecting printer settings in the Remote Control Panel, see page 7.22. 6.

Guidelines for Using Paper For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m2 (20 lb) paper. Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges. If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading (such as, bond or recycled), check the label on the package. The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming or even damage to the printer.
Paper Specifications Category Specifications Acid Content 5.5 ~ 8.0 pH Caliper 0.094 ~ 0.18 mm (3.0 ~ 7.0 mils) Curl in Ream Flat within 5 mm (0.02 in.) Cut Edge Conditions Cut with sharp blades with no visible fray. Fusing Compatibility Must not scorch, melt, offset, or release hazardous emissions when heated to 200 °C (392 °F) for 0.1 second.
Printer and Paper Storage Environment Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation. Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly. Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets.
