4 Loading originals and print 
media
This chapter introduces you how to load originals and print media into 
your machine.
This chapter includes:
• Loading originals
• Selecting print media
• Changing the size of the paper in the paper tray
• Loading paper
• Setting the paper size and type
Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass or DADF to load an original for copying, 
scanning, and sending a fax.
On the scanner glass
Make sure that no originals are in the  DADF. If an original is detected in 
the DADF, the machine gives it priority  over the original on the scanner 
glass. To get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled 
images, use the scanner glass.
1 Lift and open the scanner lid.
2Place the original  face down on the scanner glass and align it with 
the registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.
3 Close the scanner lid.
In the DADF
Using the DADF, you can load up to 100 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) 
paper for one job.
When you use the DADF:
• Do not load paper smaller than 69(W) x 145(L) mm (2.7 x 5.7 inches)  or larger than 216(W) x 356(L) mm (8.5 x 14 inches).
• Do not attempt to load the following types of paper: -  carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper
- coated paper
-  onion skin or thin paper
-  wrinkled or creased paper
-  curled or rolled paper
- torn paper 
• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.
• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely  dry before loading.
• Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.
• Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents  having other unusual characteristics.
Note
• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy quality and toner consumption.
• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the  printout. Always keep it clean. (Page 11.2)
• If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the  scanner lid until its hinges are  caught by the stopper and then 
close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm, 
start copying with the lid open.

4.2   
To load an original into the DADF:
1 Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before 
loading originals.
2 Load the originals  face up into the DADF. Make sure that the bottom 
of the original stack matches the paper size marked on the 
document input tray.
3 Adjust the document width guides to the paper size.
Caution  
Dust on the DADF glass may cause black streaks on the 
printout. Always keep it clean.
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 wei ght, 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.
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 and storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, 
keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform  with the specifications listed on 
page 4.3.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause  paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use on ly high quality copier grade paper 
specifically recommended for use in laser printers. 
• Avoid using the following media types: -  Paper with embossed lettering, perfora tions, 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 transparencies and label sheets, from  sticking together, remove them as they print out.

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 (20 to 24 lb bond) 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, se lf-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.
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with  more than one flap that folds over to seal must 
use adhesives compatible with the printer’s 
fusing temperature for  0.1 second. Check your 
machine’s specification to view the fusing 
temperature, see page 15.1. 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.

4.5   
Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only 
transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
• Transparencies used in the printer must be able 
to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature. 
Check your machine’s specification to view the 
fusing temperature, see page 15.1.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them  from the machine.
• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long 
periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate 
on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, 
handle them carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed  transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
• Ensure that transparen cies are not wrinkled, 
curled, or have any torn edges.
Caution
• Recommended media: Transparency for  a Color Laser Printers produced by HP, 
Xerox and 3M.
• It is not recommended to use  paperbacked transparencies such as 
Xerox 3R91334, which can cause a jam 
or be scratched.
Media typeGuidelines
Note 
Using photographic paper or coated paper may cause 
problems, requiring repairs. Su ch repairs are not covered by 
Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.
Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels 
designed for use in laser printers.
• 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 
15.1.
-  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 ( 5 inches) 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 98 mm (3.86 
inches) wide or 148 mm (5.83 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least 
6.4 mm (0.25 inches) 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 spec ification to view the 
fusing temperature, see page 15.1.
• 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.
