Guidelines for special print media

MEDIA TYPE GUIDELINES

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/m2 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, self-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.

Labels • To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels

Card stock or custom-sized materials

designed for use in laser machines.

- 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 40.

- 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 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.

• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm wide or 127 mm long.

• In the software application, set margins at least

6.4 mm away from the edges 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 specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 40. 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.

Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180 °C, the machine’s fusing temperature.

• 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 transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges.

• Do not use transparencies that separates from the backing sheet.

• To prevent trancsparencies from sticking to each other, do not leave the printed sheets stack up as they are printed out.

20 _Selecting and loading print media

MEDIA TYPE GUIDELINES

Preprinted paper • Letterhead 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. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 40.

• 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.

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

LOADING PAPER

Loading paper in the tray

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray. The tray can hold a maximum of 150 sheets of 75 g/m

paper.

1. Grasp the paper input tray and pull it toward you to open. Pinch the rear

guide and pull it out to extend the tray

Because the machine is very light, it may be moved when you use it; for example, when opening/closing the tray or installing/removing the toner cartridge. Be careful not to move the machine.

maintenance

This chapter provides information for maintaining your machine and the toner cartridge.

This chapter includes:

• Cleaning your machine

• Maintaining the cartridge

The illustrations of the machine are based on ML-2240 series. ML-1640 series does not have a manual tray.

• Replacing the toner cartridge

CLEANING YOUR MACHINE

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.

• Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances can discolor or distort the cabinet.

• If your machine or its surrounding is contaminated with toner, we recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blown into the air may be harmful.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into the machine.

Cleaning the inside

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems.

1. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord, then wait for the

machine to cool down.

2. Open the front cover.

3. Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the machine.

Because the machine is very light, it may be moved when you use it; for example, when opening/closing the tray or installing/removing the toner cartridge. Be careful not to move the machine.

4. Remove the manual tray by pulling it out.

ML-1640 series does not have a manual tray, go to step 5.

For ML-2240 Series, if you have installed the dust cover, remove the dust cover before opening the front cover.

25 _Maintenance

5. With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the

toner cartidge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than few minute. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary. Also, do not touch the black transfer roller inside the machine.

6. Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the cartridge

compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if dirt turns the white cotton black.

7. After inserting the manual tray and the toner cartridge, close the cover.

Make sure that the cover is securely closed. If it is not firmly closed,

printing errors may occur when you print.

If it is not firmly closed, printing errors may occur when you print.

8. Plug in the power cord, and turn the machine on.

26 _Maintenance

MAINTAINING THE CARTRIDGE

Toner cartridge storage

Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the recommendations to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.

Store this cartridge in the same environment as the printer it will be used in; this should be in controlled office temperature and humidity conditions. The toner cartridge should remain in its original, 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, always store the cartridge:

• Inside the protective bag from the original package

• Correct side up in a horizontal position (not standing on end)

• Do not store consumables in;

- Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).

- Humidity range less than 20% and not 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.

- An environment with salty air.

Redistributing toner

Small amount of toner is left in the cartridge. You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner.

1. Open the front cover.

For ML-2240 Series, if you have installed the dust cover, remove the dust cover before opening the front cover.

2. Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the machine.

Handling instructions

• Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive 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.

Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge

Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of nonSamsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store

brand, refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges.

• Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or nonSamsung brand 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-out number may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating environment, printing interval, media type, and/or media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you may need to change the cartridge more often.

• Avoid reaching too far into the machine. The fusing area may be hot.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than few minutes.

• Do not touch the green surface (or sky blue), the OPC drum, with your hands or any other material. Use the handle on the cartidge to avoid touching this area.

• Be careful not to expose the green surface (or sky blue), the OPC drum, into light. This will cause damage to the OPC drum. Cover the toner cartridge’s OPC drum with paper to avoid damaging it from the light.

• Do not turn the toner cartridge over.

Because the machine is very light, it may be moved when you use it; for example, when opening/closing the tray or installing/removing the toner cartridge. Be careful not to move the machine.

Maintenance_27

3. Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six times to

redistribute the toner.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

4. Reinsert the toner cartridge into the machine. Ensure that the toner

cartridge snaps into place.

REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE

When the toner LED lights red, a toner cartridge has reached its estimated cartridge life. Your machine stops printing. Also, the Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling you to replace the cartridge. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Check the type of toner cartridge for your machine. (See "Supply" on page 39.)

1. Turn the machine off, then wait a few minutes for the machine to cool.

2. Grasp the front cover and pull it toward you to open.

For ML-2240 Series, if you have installed the dust cover, remove the dust cover before opening the front cover.

5. Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed. If it is

not firmly closed, printing errors may occur when you print.

Because the machine is very light, it may be moved when you use it; for example, when opening/closing the tray or installing/ removing the toner cartridge. Be careful not to move the machine.

3. Remove the toner cartridge from its bag and remove the paper

protecting the cartridge by pulling the packing tape.

• Do not touch the green surface (or sky blue), the OPC drum,

with your hands or any other material. Use the handle on the cartidge to avoid touching this area.

• Be careful not to expose the green surface (or sky blue), the

OPC drum, into light. This will cause damage to the OPC drum. Cover the toner cartridge’s OPC drum with paper to avoid damaging it from the light.

• Do not turn the toner cartridge over.

28 _Maintenance

4. Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side

to side to evenly distribute the toner.

If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

• Don't use sharp objects, such as a knife or scissors, to open the toner cartridge package. You could damage the surface of the toner cartridge.

• To prevent damage, do not expose the toner cartridge to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper to protect it if necessary.

5. Locate the cartridge slots inside the machine, one on each side.

6. Unfold the toner cartridge handle and grasp it. Insert the cartridge in the

machine until it snaps into place.

Carefully insert or pull out the toner cartridge not to scratch against the machine.

• Do not touch the green surface (or sky blue), the OPC drum, with your hands or any other material. Use the handle on the cartidge to avoid touching this area.

• Be careful not to expose the green surface (or sky blue), the OPC drum, into light. This will cause damage to the OPC drum. Cover the toner cartridge’s OPC drum with paper to

avoid damaging it from the light.

• Do not turn the toner cartridge over.

7. Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed. If the

cover is not firmly closed, printing errors may occur when you print.

• Tips for avoiding paper jams

• Clearing paper jams

The illustrations of the machine are based on ML-2240 series. ML-1640 series does not have a manual tray.

• Solving other problems

TIPS FOR AVOIDING PAPER JAMS

By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided. When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined on page 30.

• Follow the procedures on page 21. Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.

• Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray.

• Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.

• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.

• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.

• Do not mix paper types in a tray.

• Use only recommended print media. (See "Setting the paper size and type" on page 23.)

• Ensure that the recommended side of the print media is facing up in the tray.

If a paper jam occurs, the error LED on the control panel lights orange. Find and remove the jammed paper. To resume printing after clearing paper jams, you must open and close the front cover.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS

In the paper exit area

Paper jams in this area may result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water as hot water will set the toner into the fabric.

1. If the paper jams as it exits to the output tray and a long portion of the

paper is visible, pull the paper straight out.

When you pull the jammed paper, if there is resistance and the paper does not move immediately, stop pulling. Continue with the next step.

Troubleshooting_30

2. Open the top cover and the inner cover.

• When removing the jammed paper, be careful not to touch the heat roller (located underneath the inner cover). It is hot and could cause burns!

• The top and inner cover themselves may also be hot due to the heat roller. Allow the machine to cool before opening the covers.

3. Loosen the paper if it is caught in the heat rollers. Then pull the paper

gently out.

4. Close the inner cover and the top cover. Printing resumes automatically.

Failed pages will not reprint. Try printing the pages.

In the paper feed area

1. Remove any misfeed paper by pulling it out by the visible edge from the

tray. Make sure that all of the paper is properly aligned in the tray.

31 _Troubleshooting

2. Open

and close the front or top cover to resume printing the

document from failed pages.

Troubleshooting_36

CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

Curl

An unknown image repetitively appears on a next few sheets or loose toner, light print, or contamination occurs.

If the printed paper is curled or paper does not feed into the machine:

• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

• Change the printer option and try again. Go to

printer properties, click Paper tab, and set type to Thin. Refer to the Software section for

details.

Your machine is probably being used at an altitude of 1,000 m (3,281 ft) or above.

The high altitude may affect the print quality such as loose toner or light imaging. You can set this

option through Paper or Printer tab in printer

driver’s properties.

Common Windows problems

CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

“File in Use” message appears during installation.

“General Protection Fault”, “Exception OE”, “Spool32”, or “Illegal Operation” messages appear.

“Fail To Print”, “A printer timeout error occurred.” messages appear.

Refer to the Microsoft Windows documentation that came with your computer for further information on Windows error messages.

Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the printer driver.

Close all other applications, reboot Windows and try printing again.

These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine finishes printing. If the message appears in ready mode or after printing has been completed, check the connection and/or whether an error has occurred.

Common Linux problems

CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

The machine does not print.

The machine does not print whole pages and its output is half page printed.

I encounter error “Unable to open mfp port device file!” when printing a document.

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available printers. Make sure that your machine is displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new printer wizard to set up your device.

• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains

“(stopped)” string, please, press the Start

button. After that normal operation of the printer should be restored. The "stopped" status might be activated when some problems in printing occurred.

• Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter in the command item.

The problem is solved in AFPL Ghostscript v.

8.52 or above. Download the latest version of AFPL Ghostscript from http://sourceforge.net/ projects/ghostscript/ and install it to solve this problem.

Please avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks mfp port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps the port locked and therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurred, please, try to release the mfp port.

37 _Troubleshooting

Refer to Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Linux error messages.

Common Macintosh problems

CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS

The machine does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing.

The document has printed, but the print job has not disappeared from the spooler in Mac OS 10.3.2.

Some letters are not displayed normally during the Cover page printing.

Refer to Mac OS User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Mac OS error messages.

Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products:

Printing the PDF file as an image may

solve this problem. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options.

It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image.

Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3. or higher.

This problem is caused because Mac OS cannot create the font during the Cover page printing. English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally at the Cover page.

glossary

The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing as well as mentioned in this user's guide.

ADF

An Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a mechanism that will automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can scan some amount of the paper at once.

AppleTalk

AppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for computer networking. It was included in the original Macintosh (1984) and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.

BIT Depth

A computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits increases, the number of possible colors becomes impractically large for a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black and white.

BMP

A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file format on that platform.

BOOTP

Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to each client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP address prior to loading any advanced operating system.

CCD

Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to prevent any damage when you move the machine.

Collation

Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When collation is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing additional copies.

Control Panel

A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of the machine.

Coverage

It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing. For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a toner usage will be as much as the coverage.

CSV

Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is used in Microsoft Excel, has become a pseudo standard throughout the industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.

DADF

A Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a mechanism that will automatically feed and flip over an original sheet of paper so that the machine can scan on both sides of the paper.

Default

The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its box state, reset, or initialized.

DHCP

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information required by the client host to participate on an IP network. DHCP also provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to client hosts.

A dot matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print head that runs back and forth on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a typewriter.

DPI

Dots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for scanning and printing. Generally, higher DPI results in a higher resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.

DRPD

Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers.

Duplex

A mechanism that will automatically flip over a sheet of paper so that the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer equipped with a Duplex can print double-sided of paper.

Duty Cycle

Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages a day.

ECM

Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into Class 1 fax machines or fax modems. It automatically detects and corrects errors in the fax transmission process that are sometimes caused by telephone line noise.

Emulation

Emulation is a technique of one machine obtaining the same results as another.

Glossary_42

An emulator duplicates the functions of one system with a different system, so that the second system behaves like the first system. Emulation focuses on exact reproduction of external behavior, which is in contrast to simulation, which concerns an abstract model of the system being simulated, often considering its internal state.

Ethernet

Ethernet is a frame-based computer networking technology for local area networks (LANs). It defines wiring and signaling for the physical layer, and frame formats and protocols for the media access control (MAC)/data link layer of the OSI model. Ethernet is mostly standardized as IEEE 802.3. It has become the most widespread LAN technology in use during the 1990s to the present.

EtherTalk

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overla y containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’ s letterhead, you d o not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

Creating a New Page Overlay

To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new page overlay. Position the items exactly as

you wish them to appear when printed as an overla y.

To save the document as an ov erlay, access printer properties. See “Printing a Document” on page 7.
