    selecting and loading print media
    This chapter introduces you how to load originals and print media into your machine.
    This chapter includes:
    • Selecting print media
    • Changing the size of the paper in the paper tray
    • Printing on special print materials• Adjusting the output support
    • 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 meet 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.
    Make sure not to use the inkjet photo paper with this machine. It could 
    cause damage to the machine.

    Guidelines for special print media
    MEDIA TYPEGUIDELINES
    Envelopes• Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the 
    quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, 
    consider the following factors:
    - Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should 
    not exceed 90 g/m
    2 or jamming may occur.
    - Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should 
    lie flat with less than 6 mm curl, and should not 
    contain air.
    - Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, 
    nicked, or otherwise damaged.
    - Temperature: You should use envelopes that are 
    compatible with the heat and pressure of the 
    machine during operation.
    • Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp and 
    well creased folds.
    • Do not use stamped envelopes.
    • Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, 
    coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic 
    materials.
    • Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.
    • Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope 
    extends all the way to the corner of the envelope.
    1Acceptable
    2Unacceptable
    • Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with 
    more than one flap that folds over to seal must use 
    adhesives compatible with the machine’s fusing 
    temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s 
    specification to view the fusing temperature, see 
    page 55. The extra flaps and strips might cause 
    wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage 
    the fuser.
    • For the best print quality, position margins no closer 
    than 15 mm from the edges of the envelope.
    • Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s 
    seams meet.
    Labels• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels 
    designed for use in laser machines.
    - When selecting labels, consider the following 
    factors:
    - Adhesives: The adhesive material should be 
    stable at your machine’s fusing temperature. 
    Check your machine’s specification to view the 
    fusing temperature, see page 55.
    - Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed 
    backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets 
    that have spaces between the labels, causing 
    serious jams.
    - Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no 
    more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.
    - Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, 
    bubbles, or other indications of separation.
    • Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive 
    material between labels. Exposed areas can cause 
    labels to peel off during printing, which can cause 
    paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause 
    damage to machine components.
    • Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine 
    more than once. The adhesive backing is designed 
    for only a single pass through the machine.
    • Do not use labels that are separating from the 
    backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise 
    damaged.
    Card stock or 
    custom-sized 
    materials• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm wide or 
    356 mm long.
    • In the software application, set margins at least 
    6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.
    Preprinted 
    paper• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink 
    that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous 
    emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing 
    temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s 
    specification to view the fusing temperature, see 
    page 55.
    • Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should 
    not adversely affect printer rollers.
    • Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a 
    moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during 
    storage.
    • Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms 
    and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is 
    dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off 
    preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
    Using photographic paper or coated paper may cause problems, 
    requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s 
    warranty or service agreements.

    CHANGING THE SIZE OF THE PAPER IN THE 
    PAPER TRAY
    To load different sizes of paper, such as Legal-sized paper, you need to 
    adjust the paper guides to extend the paper tray.
    To change the tray size to other size, you must adjust the paper length 
    guide properly.
    1.Pull the tray out of the machine. Open the paper cover and remove 
    paper from the tray if necessary. 
    2.Pressing and unlatching the guide lock in the top of the tray, pull the tray 
    out manually.3.Load paper into the tray.
    4.Slide the paper length guide until it lightly touches the end of the paper 
    stack. Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the 
    paper stack without causing it to bend.
    For paper smaller than Letter-sized, return the paper guides to their 
    original positions and adjust the paper length guide and paper width 
    guide.
    If the paper that you need to print is shorter than length 222 mm (8.74 
    inches), press and unlatch the guide lock in the tray, push the tray in

    manually. Adjust the paper length guide and paper width guide.        
       
    5.Close the paper cover.
    6.Slide the tray back into the machine until it clicks.
    7.After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the tray. See Setting 
    the paper size and type on page 36.The tray is preset to Letter or A4 size, depending on your country. To 
    change the size to A4 or Letter, you must adjust the lever and paper width 
    guide properly.
    1 Pull the tray out of the machine. Open the paper cover and remove 
    paper from the tray if necessary.
    2 If you want to change the size to Letter, hold the lever at the back of the 
    tray, and rotate the lever clockwise.
    3 Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the lever.
    • Do not push the paper width guides far enough to cause the 
    materials to warp.
    • If you do not adjust the paper width guides, it may cause paper 
    jams.
    • If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a 
    time in the tray.
    • You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be 
    facing up with an uncurled edge at the rear. If you experience 
    problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that print 
    quality is not guaranteed. 
    If you want to change the size to A4, first move the paper width guide 
    to left and rotate the lever counterclockwise. If you force the lever, it 
    could damage the tray.

    PRINTING ON SPECIAL PRINT MATERIALS
    The machine can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as 
    postcards, note cards, and envelopes. Especially, it is useful for single page 
    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 31.)
    • Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading 
    them into the tray.
    1.Load the paper. (See Changing the size of the paper in the paper

    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
    During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate 
    inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as 
    toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears or 
    reduces these problems.

    MAINTAINING THE CARTRIDGE
    Toner cartridge storage
    Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, 
    temperature, and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the 
    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; 
    - Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F). 
    - Humidity range less than 20% and not greater than 80%.
    - An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
    - Direct sunlight or room light.
    - Dusty places.
    - A car for a long period of time.
    - An environment where corrosive gases are present.
    - An environment with salty air.
    Handling instructions
    • Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge. 
    • Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
    • Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this 
    can cause internal damage and toner spillage.
    Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge
    Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of non-
    Samsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store 
    brand, refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges. 
    Estimated cartridge life
    Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the 
    amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print-out number may 
    vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating 
    environment, printing interval, media type, and/or media size. For example, 
    if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you 
    may need to change the cartridge more often.
    Redistributing toner
    It is possible that colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to 
    flawed mixing of toner colors when one of the colored toner cartridges is low 
    on toner. You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the 
    toner.
    • The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you 
    which color cartridge is low on toner.1.Press the release button, completely open the front cover.
    2.Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the 
    cartridge from the machine.
    3.Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side 
    to side to evenly distribute the toner. 
    • Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the 
    machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-
    Samsung brand toner cartridge.
    If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry
    cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into
    fabric.
