• Loading originals 45

• Selecting print media 49

• Loading paper in the tray 50

• Printing on special media 55

• Setting the paper size and type 59

• Selecting an output location 61

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

Using the scanner glass, you can copy or scan originals. You can get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images. Make sure that no originals are in the document feeder. If an original is detected in the document feeder, the machine gives it priority over the original on 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.

Close the DSDF.

• 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.

Preparing originals

• Do not load paper smaller than 105 x 148 mm (4.13 x 5.8 inches) or larger than 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).

• Do not attempt to load the following types of paper, in order to prevent paper jam, low print quality, and machine damage.

- Carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper

- Coated paper

- Onion skin or thin paper

- Wrinkled or creased paper

- Curled or rolled paper

Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before

loading originals.

Load the originals face up into the DSDF. Make sure that the bottom of

the original stack matches the paper size marked on the document input tray.

- 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 with other unusual characteristics.

Using the document feeder, you can load up to 50 sheets of paper (75 g/m2, 20 lb bond) for one job.

2. Media and Tray

Loading originals

Adjust the document width guides to the paper size.

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 249).

• 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 249).

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

• Using flammable print media can cause a fire.

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

249).

The use of flammable 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 249).

2. Media and Tray

Loading paper in the tray

Tray 1 / optional tray

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs into the standard tray. The standard tray can hold a maximum of 550 sheets of plain paper (75 g/

m2, 20 lb bond).

• Paper quantity indicator shows the amount of paper in the tray.

Insert the tray back into the machine.

When you print a document, set the paper type and size for the tray.

• See "Setting the paper size and type" on page 59.

If you experience problems with paper feeding, check whether the paper meets the media specification (see "Print media specifications" on page

249), and then try placing one sheet at a time in the multi-purpose tray (see "Printing on special media" on page 55).

Multi-purpose tray

The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes.

Tips on using the multi-purpose tray

• Load only one type, size, and weight of print media at a time in the multipurpose tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other types of print

1 Full 2 Empty

media.

• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.

2. Media and Tray

Loading paper in the tray

• Always load only the specified print media to avoid paper jams and print quality problems (see "Print media specifications" on page 249).

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the multi-purpose tray.

Open the multi-purpose tray and open the extension if necessary.

Flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before

loading originals.

Load the paper.

Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust them to

the width of the paper. Do not force too much, otherwise the paper will bend resulting in a paper jam or skew.

2. Media and Tray

Printing on special media

Envelope

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

To print an envelope, place it flap side down with the stamp area on the top left side.

• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

• 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.

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

- 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.

• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp-and well-creased folds.

• 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

Card stock/ Custom-sized paper

• Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm (3.8 inches) wide or 148 mm (5.8 inches) long.

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 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.

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

2. Media and Tray

Setting the paper size and type

The paper setting in the machine and driver should match to print without a paper mismatch error.

To change the paper setting set in the machine, from SyncThru™ Web Service click Settings tab > Machine Settings > System > Input Tray (see "Settings tab" on page 162).

Or, you can set it from the control panel.

Then, set the paper type from the Printing preferences window > Paper tab > Paper Type (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 66).

After loading paper in the paper tray, set the paper size and type using the display screen.

Tray Settings

• Paper Type: Allows you to change the paper type.

Options

Scroll through the options by swiping up and down.

• Auto Tray Switch: Determine whether or not the machine continues

printing when it detects the paper does not match. For example, if both tray 1 and tray 2 are filled with the same size paper, the machine automatically prints from tray 2 after the tray 1 runs out of paper.

• Auto Continue: This option allows you to continue printing when the paper

size you have set is mismatched with the paper in the tray. When this option is activated, the machine continues printing using similar or large size paper. If this option is inactivated, the machine waits until the required size paper is loaded in the tray.

• 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.

• Paper Substitution: When the requested paper for a print job is not

available in the tray, this feature allows you to substitute similar paper size, For example, if the requested letter sized paper is not available in the tray, this machine substitutes A4 for the requested paper.

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

2. Media and Tray

Selecting an output location

The surface of the center tray may become hot if you print a large number of pages at once. Make sure that you do not touch the surface, and do not allow children near it.

The machine sends output to the output tray by default. The printed pages stack on the output support, and the output support will help the printed pages to align. Open the output support.

If paper coming out of the output try has problems, such as excessive curl, try printing to the rear cover. The rear cover can only hold one piece of paper at a time, do not let the papers stack on the rear cover.
