Understanding the control panel

Status/ Toner LEDs

The color of the LEDs indicates the machine's current status.

LED	Status	Toner LEDs	Description
Online/Error ()	Off	All LEDs off	The machine is off-line.
	Solid green	All LEDs off	The machine is online and can receive data from a computer.
	Slowly blinking green	All LEDs off	When the Status LED blinks green slowly, the machine is receiving data from a computer.
	Quickly blinking green	All LEDs off	When the Status LED blinks green quickly, the machine is printing data.
	Solid green	Corresponding LED blinks red	Each toner cartridge is near the end of its life.
	Solid green	Corresponding LED blinks red successively	The machine is warming up.
	Solid red	All LEDs off	The cover is open. Close the cover. There is no paper in the tray. Load paper in the tray. The machine has stopped due to a major error. The machine is experiencing system problems requiring service, such as LSU error, fuser error, or ITB error. Contact the service representative.
	Solid red	Corresponding LED is solid red	A toner cartridge has almost reached its estimated cartridge life^[a]. It is recommended to replace the toner cartridge (See Replacing the toner cartridge). The machine cannot recognize the status of toner cartriges and the supplies information. Open and close the cover and check if the machie can operate properly. If the problem persists, turn the power off and on.
	Blinks red	Corresponding LED is solid red	A minor error has occurred and the machine is waiting for the error to be cleared. When the problem is cleared, the machine resumes. A small amount of toner is left in the cartridge. The estimated cartridge life^[a] of toner is close. Prepare a new cartridge for replacement. You may temporarily increase the printing quality by redistributing the toner in the cartridge (See Redistributing toner).
Jam ()	Lights orange	All LEDs off	A paper jam has occurred (See Clearing paper jams).
^[a]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/IEC 19798. The number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, graphics, media type and media size. Some amount of toner may remain in the cartridge even when red LED is on and the printer stops printing.


	Samsung does not recommend using non-genuine Samsung toner cartridge such as one that is refilled or remanufactured. Samsung cannot guarantee a 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.


	All printing errors will be appear in the Smart Panel program window. If the problem persists, call for service (See Using the Smart Panel program).

Wireless LED

Wireless LED status		Description
Blue	Off ()	Wireless network is disconnected.
	On ()	Wireless network is connected.
	Slowly blinks ()	The machine starts connecting to a wireless network.
	Quickly blinks ()	The machine is connecting to access point (or wireless router). Wireless network connection is being disconnected.
