Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

Guidelines for special print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on the next column.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper specifically recommended for use in laser printers.

• Avoid using the following print media types:

- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too

smooth or too rough

- Erasable bond paper

- Multi-paged paper

- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper

- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.

• Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical smells, and damage to your printer.

• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15

C and 30o C (59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating your paper.

• Load special print media types one sheet at a time through the manual tray to avoid paper jams.

• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from sticking together, remove them as they print out.

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/m

(24 lb) or jamming

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 otherwise damaged.

- Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer 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.

Acceptable

Caution

• If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface of the top cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.

5.3 <

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 printer’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 11.1. 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.

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

Loading print media>

Page 23

Type Guidelines

Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only

transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

• Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 11.1.

• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the printer.

• 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.

Labels • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels

designed for use in laser printers.

• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be

stable at 180° C (356° F), the printer’s fusing temperature.

- 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 (5 inches) 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 printer components.

• Do not run a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for only a single pass through the printer.

• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

Preprinted paper

• 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 11.1.

• 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.

Loading paper

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray

1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb plain paper.

You can purchase an optional tray (tray 2) and attach it below the standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. For order information for an optional tray, see 7.1.

The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the optional tray 2 shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.

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

This chapter includes:

• Cleaning the printer

• Maintaining the toner cartridge

• Printing a configuration page

• Maintenance parts

Cleaning the printer

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing.

Caution

• Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.

• If your machine or its around 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 blows in the air and might be harmful for you.

Cleaning the outside of the printer

Clean the cabinet of the printer 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 printer.

Cleaning the inside of the printer

1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer

to cool down.

2 Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a

clean flat surface.

Caution

• 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 surface underside of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

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

the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

8.1 <

Caution

• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to reach too far into the printer. The fuser area may be hot.

Maintenance>

Page 30

4 Gently swab the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the

cartridge and check for dirt or dust.

Note

• The long strip of glass is hard to locate.

5 Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the

cartridge into the opening in the printer.

Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position until it locks into place completely.

Maintaining the toner cartridge

Toner cartridge storage

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until ready for use.

• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

• Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.

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

Expected cartridge life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the cartridge more often.

Redistributing toner cartridge

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life span:

• White streaks and light printing occur.

• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer.

•The Error LED blinks red.

If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish 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.

6 Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.

7 Plug in the power cord and turn the printer on.

Vertical repetitive defects

If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the problem.

• Change to lighter weight pages. See page 5.3.

• Check the printer’s environment; low humidity (lower than 20% RH) or high humidity (higher than 80% RH) conditions can increase the amount of background shading.

• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 8.3.

• Check the paper type and quality. See page

5.2.

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See page 8.3.

If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:

• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive mark occurs on the page, install a new toner cartridge. See page 8.3.

• Parts of the printer may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages.

• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.

Background scatter

Misformed characters

Page skew • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

Curl or wave • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on the printed page.

• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or via the printer properties window.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollowed images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See page 5.3.

• Check the paper type and quality. See page

5.2.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded correctly and the adjustable guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.

• Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. See page 5.2.

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

10 Installing accessories

Your machine is a full-featured model that has been optimized to meet most of your printing needs. Recognizing that each user may have different requirements, however, Samsung makes several accessories available to enhance your machine’s capabilities.

This chapter includes:

• Precautions to take when installing accessories

• Installing a memory module

Precautions to take when installing accessories

Disconnect the power cord

Never remove the control board cover while the power is turned on.

To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external accessories.

Discharge static electricity

The control board and internal accessories (network interface card or memory module) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or removing any internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk around before finishing the installation, repeat this procedure to discharge any static electricity again.

2 Open the control board cover.

3 Take out a new memory module from the plastic bag.

4 Holding the memory module by the edges, align the memory

module on the slot at about a 30-degree tilt. Make sure that the notches of the module and the grooves on the slot fit each other.

Installing a memory module

Your machine has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Use this memory module slot to install additional memory.

When you are expanding the memory capacity, you can add a memory module to the vacant memory slot. Your machine has 32 MB memory, and you can add a 128 MB memory module.

Order information is provided for optional memory module. (See "Accessory" on page 7.1.)

1 Turn the machine off and unplug all cables from the machine.

10.1 <

Note

The notches and grooves illustrated above may not match those on an actual memory module and its slot.

5 Press the memory module into the slot with care until you hear a

'click'.

Caution

Do not press the memory module strongly or the module may be damaged. If the module does not seem to fit into the slot properly, carefully try the previous procedure again.
