• Blue: Neutral
• Brown: Live
If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter “E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or
green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N” or colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L” or colored red.
You must have a 13 amp fuse in the plug, adaptor, or at the distribution board.

This chapter introduces you how to load originals and print media into your machine.
• Selecting print media • Printing on special print medias
• Loading paper • Setting the paper size and type
SELECTING PRINT MEDIA

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meets the
guidelines for use with your machine. Print media that does not meet the
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are
important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are
described later in this section.
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of
improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels,
or other variables over which Samsung has no control.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it
meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause
problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by
Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Using photographic paper or coated paper may cause problems,

requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s
warranty or service agreements.
Because the machine is very light, it may be moved when you use it;
for example, when opening/closing the tray or installing/removing the
toner cartridge. Be careful not to move the machine.
2. Prepare a stack of paper for loading by flexing or fanning them back and
forth. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
3. Load paper with the print side facing up. Make sure that all four corners
are flat in the tray.

printing on letterhead or colored paper.
Feeding the print material manually
• Load only one size of print media at a time in the tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in
the tray. This also applies to other types of print media.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the side you want to print,
and the top edge going into the tray first. Place print materials in the
center of the tray.
• Always load only the specified print media to avoid paper jams and
print quality problems. (See "Selecting print media" on page 18.)
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading
them into the tray.
1. Grasp the paper input tray and pull it toward you to open. Pinch the rear
guide and pull it out to extend the tray.
• Do not push the width guide far enough to cause the material to
warp.
• If you do not adjust the width guide, it may cause paper jam.

CLEANING YOUR MACHINE 3. Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the machine.
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time
the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.
• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong
substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.
• If your machine or its surrounding is contaminated with toner, we
recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water to
clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blown into the air may
be harmful.
Cleaning the outside

Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen
the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or
into the machine.
Cleaning the inside Because the machine is very light, it may be moved when you use it;

recommendations to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality, and
longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment as the printer it will be used in;
this should be in controlled office temperature and humidity conditions. The
toner cartridge should remain in its original, unopened package until
installation – If original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of
the cartridge with paper and store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful
shelf and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is
removed from the printer, always store the cartridge:
• Inside the protective bag from the original package

• Correct side up in a horizontal position (not standing on end)
• Do not store consumables in; For ML-2240 Series, if you have installed the dust cover, remove the
