•When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-Weight: should not exceed 90 g/m2 otherwise; jams may occur.
-Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and should not
contain air.
•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.
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 about 170°C (338 °F). 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.
-Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.
-Temperature: should resist 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, selfadhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.
2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup

Media and tray
Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in
laser printers.
•Must withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.
•To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the printed
sheets stack up as they are being printed out.
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
printers.
•Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
•Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long. 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 transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.
•Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature
about 170°C (338°F).
-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: Must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.
2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup
55
Media and tray
-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/ Custom-sized paper
Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn
the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
•In the software application, set the margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches)
away from the edges of the material.
•Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).
•Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely
affect machine rollers.

Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature
and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these recommendations to
ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new
Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used.
This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The toner
cartridge should remain in its original and 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, follow the instructions below to store the toner cartridge
properly.
•Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
•Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it
were installed in the machine.
-An environment with salty air.
1
Handling instructions
•Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive 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.
2
Toner cartridge usage
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.
•Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
-Humidity range less than 20% or 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.
Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused
by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner
cartridges.

Storing the toner cartridge

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 yield may vary
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or
media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the
toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more often.
3. Maintenance
93
Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
•White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side.
•The Status LED blinks red. The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on the display.
•The computer’s Samsung Printing Status program window appears on the computer telling you which cartridge is low on toner (see "Using Samsung Printer
Status" on page 324).
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still
occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
IlIllustrations in this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on the model and options installed. Check your machine type (see "Front view" on page
21).
•To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.
•Do not touch the green area of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
•Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.
•If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
