REGULATORY COMPLIANCE STATEMENTS

Wireless Guidance

Low power, Radio LAN type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in your printer system. The following section is a general overview of considerations while operating a wireless device.

Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in y our s ystem are onl y qualified for use in the c oun tries identified by the R ad io Ap prov al Ma rks on th e s ys tem rati ng l abe l. If the country you wil l be us in g th e w ire le ss de vic e in, is not listed, c ont act yo ur local Radio Approv al a gency for requirements . Wi r el e ss de vi ces are closely regulated and use may not be allowed.

The power output of th e wi reless devi ce or devic es that m ay be embe dded i n your printer is well below the RF e xposu re limits as known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and recomm endati ons, manu facture r bel ieves the se dev ices are safe for us e. Regardle ss of th e pow er level s, care sh ould be tak en to minimize human contact during normal operation.

As a general guideline, a separation o f 20 c m (8 i nc hes ) b etween the wireless d evic e a nd the body, for use of a w ire les s de vi ce near the body (this does not include extremities) is ty pic al . Th is dev ic e s hou ld be used more than 20 cm (8 i nches) from the body when w irel e ss devices are on and transmitting.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below: Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless

devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or eli mi nat ed. Airp orts , H osp ita ls , and Oxygen or fl am ma ble gas laden atmo sp here s are li mi ted examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Every countr y has differ ent restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between countries w ith you r sy st em , ch eck w ith the l oc al R a dio Appro va l au thorities prior to any m ove or tri p for a ny res tric ti ons o n th e us e of a wireless device in the destination country.

If your system ca me equip ped w ith a n int ernal e mbedd ed wireles s de vice, do not o perate the wirele ss devi ce un less all covers and sh ields are in place and the system is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Contact manufacturer for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

Guidelines for special print media

MEDIA TYPE GUIDELINES

Envelopes • Successful printin g on en velop es de pen ds upo n the

quality of the envelopes. Whe n selecting enve lopes, consider the following factors:

- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m

- 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 operat ion.

• Use only well-co nstructed envelop es with sharp an d well creased folds.

• Do not use stamped envelopes.

• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, sel f-adhes ive s eals, or ot her sy ntheti c 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.

or jamming m ay occur.

Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

designed for use in laser m achines.

- When selecting labels, con si der the fol low i ng 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 48.

- 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 lab els 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 w rinkled, bubb led, or otherw ise damaged.

Card stock or custom-sized materials

• Do not print on media smaller than 7 6 mm wide or 356 mm long.

• In the software application, set margins at least

6.4 mm away from the edg es of the material.

1 Acceptable 2 Unacceptable

• 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 specific ation to view the fusing temperature, see page 48. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasi ng, o r jam s, and m ay even damage the fuser.

• For the best print quality, po sitio n margin s no clo ser than 15 mm from the edges of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Preprinted paper

Using photographic paper or coated paper may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

• 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 48.

• 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 fus ing proces s, wet ink c an com e off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

Selecting and loading print media_27

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.

3. Load paper into the tray.

1 Tray extend lever 2 Paper length guide 3 Paper width guide 4 Paper cover

1. Pull the tray out of the machine. Open the paper cover and remove

paper from the tray if necessary.

2. Pressing and unlatc hing t he g uide l ock in th e top of the tray, pull the tray out manually.

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.

28 _Selecting and loading print media

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.

• 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.

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 si ze to Let ter, hold the lever at th e back of the

tray, and rotate the lever clockwise.

5. Close the paper cover.

6. Slide the tray back into the machine until it clicks.

7. After loading pap er, set the paper typ e and si ze for the tray. See " Setting

the paper size and type" on page 30.

• 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.

3 Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the lever.

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.

Selecting and loading print media_29

PRINTING ON SPECIAL PRINT MATERIALS

The machine can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envel opes. Espec ially, i t i s useful fo r 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 si de you want to pri nt, 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 25.)

• 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 tray" on page28.)

Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines:

• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.
