3 Getting Started
This chapter gives you step-by-st ep instructions for setting up the 
machine.
This chapter includes:
• Setting up the hardware
• Setting up the network
• Installing the software
• Printers basic settings
Setting up the hardware
This section shows the steps to set up the hardware which is explained 
in the Quick Install Guide. Make sure you read Quick Install Guide and 
complete following steps.
1 Select a stable location. 
Select a level, stable place with  adequate space for air circulation. 
Allow extra space to open covers and trays. 
The area should be well-ventilated and  away from direct sunlight or 
sources of heat, cold, and humidity.  Do not set the machine close to 
the edge of your desk or table. 
Printing is suitable for altitudes under 1,000 m (3,281 ft). Refer to 
the altitude setting to optimize your printing. See page 3.4 for more 
information.
Place the machine on a flat and stable  surface, not letting it tilt more 
than 2 mm (0.08 inches). Otherwise,  it may affect the print quality. 
2 Unpack the machine and check all the enclosed items.
3 Remove the tape holding the machine tightly.
4 Install all four of  the toner cartridges.
5 Load paper. (See Loading paper on page 4.4.)
6 Make sure that all the cables are connected to the machine. 
7 Turn the machine on. 
Caution
When you move the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside 
down. Otherwise, the inside of the machine may be 
contaminated by toner, which can cause damage to the 
machine or bad print quality.
Setting up the network
You need to set up the network protocols on the machine to use it as your 
network printer. You can set up the basic network settings with the 
machine’s control panel.
Note
• If you want to use the USB cable, connect between a computer 
and your machine. Then, refer to the software installation in 
Software section.

4 Selecting and loading print 
media
This chapter introduces you how select and load print media for your 
machine.
This chapter includes:
• Selecting print media
• 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, 
and labels. 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, composit ion, 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 smoothne ss of the print media affects how 
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Caution  
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.
Note
• 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. 
Guidelines for selecting a nd storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, 
keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conforms  with the specifications listed on 
page 4.2.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause  paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper  specifically recommended for use in laser machines. 
• Avoid using the following media types: -  Paper with embossed lettering, perfo rations, or a texture that is too 
smooth or too rough
-  Erasable bond paper
- Multi-paged paper
-  Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
-  Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. 
Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical 
smells, and damage to your machine.
• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.  Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place 
heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or 
unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can 
cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C.  The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic  container or bag, to prevent dust  and moisture from contaminating 
your paper.
• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multi- purpose tray to avoid paper jams.
• To prevent print media, such as la bel sheets, from sticking together, 
remove them as they print out.
