• Loading originals 46

• Selecting print media 50

• Loading paper in the tray 51

• Printing on special media 58

• Setting the paper size and type 63

• Selecting an output location 65

Loading originals

You can use the scanner glass or the Dual scan document feeder (DSDF) to load an original for copying, scanning, and sending a fax.

On the scanner glass

Make sure that no originals are in the DSDF. If an original is detected in the DSDF, 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.

Preparing originals

• Do not load paper larger than 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).

• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry before loading.

Open the DSDF.

2. Media and tray

Loading originals

Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with the

registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.

• Leaving the DSDF 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.

• If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the DSDF until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm (1 inch), start copying with the lid open.

• Be careful not to break the scanner glass. You may get hurt.

• Do not put hands on the scanner glass while closing the DSDF. The DSDF may fall on your hands and cause injury.

• Do not look at the light inside of the scanner while copying or scanning. It is harmful to eyes.

Close the DSDF.

Dust on the DSDF glass may cause black lines on the printout. Always keep the glass clean.

2. Media and tray

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.

Guidelines for select the print media

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 in print media specifications (see "Print media specifications" on page 285).

• 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 user’s guide and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of the sheets characteristics, improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which cannot be controlled.

• 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 or require repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

• The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media type used (see "Print media specifications" on page 285).

• Make sure not to use the inkjet photo paper with this machine. It could cause damage to the machine.

• Using inflammable print media can cause a fire.

• Use designated print media (see "Print media specifications" on page

285).

The use of inflammable media or foreign materials left in the printer may lead to overheating of the unit and, in rare cases may cause a fire.

The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media type used (see "Print media specifications" on page 285).

2. Media and tray

2. Media and tray

Printing on special media

Envelope

Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.

To print an envelope, insert it with the flap facing up.

• 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.

• 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 about 170 °C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser.

• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2

(16 lb) otherwise, a jam may occur.

- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than

6 mm (0.25 inches) curl, and should not contain air.

- Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or damaged.

- Temperature: Use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and

pressure of the machine during operation.

• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges of the envelope.

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

2. Media and tray

Printing on special media

Labels

Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing down.

To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser machines.

- 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 damaged.

• Do not load paper that does not have space between labels running the same direction as the paper is being fed. Otherwise, it could cause paper jams.

• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s

fusing temperature about 170 °C (338 °F) for 0.1 second.

- 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 (0.5

inches) of curl in any direction.

2. Media and tray

Printing on special media

• In the software application, set margins to at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material.

• Preprinted paper must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature about 170 °C (338 °F) for 0.1 second.

2. Media and tray

Printing on special media

• Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine rollers.

• Forms should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.

• Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink used is compatible with Laser printers.

When the paper is substituted, some image loss may occur.

• Tray Confirmation Message: When you load paper into a tray, you can set

the confirmation message to appear automatically. This machine can detect some paper sizes and types automatically. If you want to set the paper size and type, or the machine cannot detect them, you can set the size and type directly in the confirmation window.

• Tray Protection: If you set tray 1 to On, for example, then tray 1 is excluded

during tray switching.

This setting works for copy or print jobs: It doesn't affect fax jobs.

• Tray Priority Settings: You can set the tray priority. If first setting is tray 1,

the machine automatically prints from tray 1 after the second setting tray runs out of paper.
