Understanding the status LED

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

[Note]

Some LEDs may not be available depending on model or country (see Control panel overview).
To resolve the error, look at the error message and its instructions from the troubleshooting part (see Troubleshooting).
You also can resolve the error with the guideline from the computer’s Samsung Printing Status program window (see Using Samsung Printer Status).
If the problem persists, call a service representative.

Status LED

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

Status			Description
(Status LED)	Off		The machine is off-line. The machine is in power saver mode. When data is received, or any button is pressed, it switches to on-line automatically.
	Blue	On	The machine is on-line and can be used.
	Blue	Blinking	When the status LED slowly blinks, the machine is receiving data from the computer. When the status LED blinks rapidly, the machine is printing data.
	Orange	On	The toner cartridge life^[a] is totally empty. Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. A paper jam has occurred (see Clearing paper jams). The door is open. Close the door. There is no paper in the tray. Load paper in the tray (see Loading paper in the tray). The machine has stopped due to a major error. The waste toner container is not installed in the machine, or the waste toner container is full (see Replacing the waste toner container). An imaging unit has almost reached its estimated cartridge life. It is recommended to replace the imaging unit.
	Orange	Blinking	A minor error has occurred and the machine is waiting for the error to be cleared. When the problem is cleared, the machine resumes its original task. Small amount of toner is left in the cartridge. The estimated cartridge lifea of toner is close. Prepare a new cartridge for replacement. You may temporarily increase the printing quality by redistributing the toner (see Redistributing toner).^[b]
^[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, media type, and media size. Some amount of toner may remain in the cartridge even when the orange LED is on and the printer stops printing. ^[b] Some LEDs may not be available depending on model or country(see Control panel overview).
