Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special materials, keep these guidelines in mind:

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

• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.

• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print quality.

• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or a staples.

• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing, and never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or too rough.

• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must be able to withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 383°F (195°C) for 0.1 seconds without deteriorating. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced.

4.1

Using Print Materials

• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s approximately 383°F (195°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 seconds.

• Store paper 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight, or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

OTE

: Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. They are unstable at the fusing temperature and can give of fumes, or cause damage to the printer.

Loading Paper

Using the Tray 1 or the Optional Tray

Use the print material you use for the majority of your print jobs in the Tray 1. The Tray 1 can hold a maximum of 500 sheets of 20lb paper.

You can purchase an optional Tray 2 and attach it below the Tray 1 to load an additional 50 0 sheets of paper. See page 9.7 for more information about installing the optional Tray 2.

Tray 1

Optional Tra y 2

Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper tr ay while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Sizes and Capacities” on page 4.1 for acceptable paper size and capacities for each tray.

The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lo wered.

Paper full

Paper empty

T o load paper, pull open the paper tray and load paper with the print side down. For details about loading paper in the T r ay 1 or optional Tray 2, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.4.

Using the Multi-Purpose Tray

The Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer. It can be closed when not in use, making the printer more compact.

Multi-Purpose Tray

The Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes and types of material, such as transparencies, cards, and envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray for single page print jobs on letterheads, colored paper for use as separ a tor sheets, or other special materials that you do not normally keep in the tray. You can load approximately 100 sheets of plain paper, 10 envelopes, 50 transparencies, 10 card stocks, or 25 labels at a time.

• Load only one size of print material at a time in the Multi-Purpose Tray.

4.2

Using Print Materials

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. This also applies to other types of print materials.

• Print materials should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the Multi-Purpose Tray first, and be placed on the center of the tray.

• Do not place objects on the Multi-Purpose T ray. Also avoid pressing down or applying excessive force on it. The Multi-Purpose Tray may fall apart from the printer.

To load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray:

Pull the Multi-Purpose Tray down towards you.

Load the print material on the center of the tray

If you want to print on previously printed paper from the Multi-Purpose T ra y , the printe d side should be facing down with an uncurled edge to the printer. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn the paper around.

with the

Pull the extender to extend the Multi-Purpose Tray to hold longer paper.

If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to separate the pages before loading.

OTE

: Make sure that you have not loaded too much print material. The print material buckles if you load a stack that is too deep or if you push it in too far.

Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the print material without causing it to bend.

For transparencies, hold them by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

Guidelines

• Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before loading envelopes in the Multi-Purpose Tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together.

• Load envelopes into the Multi-Purpose Tray only.

• Do not feed stamped envelopes.

• Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, or self-stick adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the printer.

Open the Multi-Purpose Tray and pull the extender.

If you do not want to stack the printed pages on the rear cover, slide the extender to its place and close the tray. The pages will stack on the output tray.

Printing on Labels

Guidelines

• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 195°C (383°F) for 0.1 second.

• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the 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.

• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once, or print on a partial sheet of labels.

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

• To prevent labels from sticking together, do not let the printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out.

• To preven t transparencies from sticking, do not let the printed sheets stack up as they are printed out.

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

4.8

Using Print Materials

Printing on Preprinted Paper

Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example).

Guidelines

• Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 383 °F (195 °C) for 0.1 second.

• Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect printer rollers.

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

• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper , reducing print quality.

Load letterheads into the tray you want to use, as shown in the figures below. Adjust the guides to fit the width of the paper stack.

Load with the design face down, bottom edge towards the printer.

Printing on Card Stock or Customsized Materials

Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in. (index) cards, and other customsized materials can be printed with your printer . The minimum size is 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.) and the maximum size is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.).

Guidelines

• Always insert the short-edge into the Multi-Purpose Tray first. If you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may cause a paper jam.

• Do not load more than 10 cards into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time.

• Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3 in.) wide or 127 mm (5 in.) long.

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

• Store toner cartridges 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 minute.

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of a toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that your print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 12,000 pages or 6,000 pages depending on its type. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an average of 6,000 pages.)

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 “Paper Specifications” on page 10.2.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it also occurs on a demo page (see page 2.7). For service, contact a service representative.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.2.

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

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. See “Paper Specifications” on page 10.2.

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

• T ry printing to the face up output slot.

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

I can’t change settings in the configuration tool.

I am using the KDE desktop but the configuration tool and LLPR won’t start.

I just installed this package but can’t find entries in the KDE/Gnome menus.

I get a “Some options are not selected” error message while editing the printer settings.

I can’t make a printer the system default.

You need to have administrator privileges to be able to affect global settin g s.

Maybe you do not have the GTK libraries installed. These usually come with most Linux distributions, but you may have to install them manually. Refer to your distribution’s installation manual for more details about installing additional packages.

Some versions of the KDE or GNOME desktop environments may require that you restart your session for the changes to take effect.

Some printers have conflicting settings, meaning that some settings for two options can’t be selected at the same time. When you change a setting and the Printer Package detects such a conflict, the conflicting option is changed to a “No Choice” value, and you have to choose an option that does not conflict before being able to submit the changes.

In some conditions, it may not be possible to change the default queue. This happens with some variants of LPRng, especially on recent RedHat systems that use the “printconf” database of queues. When using printconf, the /etc/printcap file is automatically refreshed from the database of printers managed by the system (usually through the “printtool” command), and the queues in /etc/ printcap.local are appended to the resulting file. Since the default queue in LPRng is defined as the first queue in /etc/printcap, therefore it is not possible for the Linux Printer Package to change the default when some queues have otherwise been defined using printtool. LPD systems identify the default queue as the one named “lp”. Thus, if there is already a queue by this name, and if it doesn’t have an alias, then you won’t be able to change the default. To work around this, you can either delete the queue or rename it by manually editing the /etc/printcap file.

The N-up setting does not work correctly for some of my documents.

7.13

Solving Problems

The N-up feature is achieved through post-processing of the PostScript data that is being sent to the printing system. However, such post-processing can only be adequately achieved if the PostScript data conforms to the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions. Problems may arise when using N-up and other features relying on post-processing if the document being printed isn’t compliant.

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

I am using BSD lpr (Slackware, Debian, older distributions) and some options chosen in LLPR don’t seem to take effect.

I am trying to print a document in Landscape mode, but it prints rotated and cropped.

Some pages come out all white (nothing is printed), and I am using CUPS.

I can’t print to an SMB (Windows) printer.

My application seems to be frozen while LLPR is running.

Legacy BSD lpr systems have a hard limitation on the length of the option string that can be passed to the printing system. As su ch , if you selected a numb er of different options, the length of the options may have exceeded and some of your choices won’t be passed to the programmes responsible for implementing them. Try to select fewer options that deviate from the defaults, to save on memory usage.

Most Unix applications that offer a Landscape orientation option in their printing options will generate correct PostScript code that should be printed as is. In that case, you need to make sure that you leave the LLPR option set to its default Portrait setting, to avoid unwanted rotations of the page that would result in cropped output.

If the data being sent is in Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) format, some earlier versions of CUPS (1.1.10 and before) have a bug preventing them from being processed correctly. When going through LLPR to print, the Printer Package will work around this issue by converting the data to regular PostScript. However, if your application bypasses LLPR and feeds EPS data to CUPS, the document may not print correctly.

To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers (such as printers shared on a Windows machine), you need to have a correct installation of the SAMBA package that enables that feature. The “smbclient” command should be available and usable on your system.

Most Unix applications will expect a command like the regular “lpr” command to be non-interactive and thus return immediately. Since LLPR is waiting for user input before passing the job on to the print spooler, very often the application will wait for the process to return, and thus will appear to be frozen (its windows won’t refresh). This is normal and the application should resume functioning correctly after the user exits LLPR.

I have CUPS and some options (such as N-up) seem to be always enabled even though I don’t pick them in LLPR.

I configured a printer to print to a file, but I get “Permission denied” errors.

On my PCL (or SPL) printer , I sometimes get error messages printing instead of my document.

Some color images come out all black.

There may be some local options defined in your ~/ .lpoptions file, which is manipulated by the lpoptions command. These options will always be used if not overridden by LLPR settings. To get rid of all options for a printer, run the following command, replacing “printer” with the name of the queue: lpoptions -x printer

Most printing systems will not run as the super-user but as a special user (usually “lp”). Therefore, make sure that the file you have chosen to print to is accessible to the user owning the spooler daemon.

Unfortunately, some Unix applications may generate non-compliant PostScript output that may not be supported by Ghostscript, or even the printer itself in PostScript mode. You can try to capture the output to a file and view the results with Ghostscript (gv or ghostview will allow you to do so interactively) and see if you get error messages. However, since the application is fault at probably , contact your software vendor to inform them of the issue.

This a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.05) when the base color space of the document is indexed color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript. com.

How do I specify the IP address of my SMB server?

Some documents come out as white pages when printing.

It can be specified in the “Add Printer” dialogue of the configuration tool, if you don’t use the CUPS printing system. Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn’t allow to specify the IP address of SMB printers, so you will have to be able to browse the resource with SAMBA in order to be able to print.

Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with Mandrake Linux before the 8.1 release, have some known bugs when processing PostScript output from some applications. T ry upg rading to the latest version of CUPS (at least 1.1.14). Some RPM packages for most popular distributions are provided as a convenience with this Linux Printing Package.

Precaution When Installing

Options

Your printe r is a full-featured laser printer that has been optimized to meet most of your printing needs. R ecognizing that each user may have different requirements, however, Samsung makes several options av ailable to enhance the printer’s capabilities.

This chapter includes:

• Precaution When Installing Printer Options

• Installing Memory DIMM

• Installing a Network Card

• Using the Hard Disk

• Installing an Optional Tray 2

• Installing a Duplex Unit

Printer Options

DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD:

Never remove the printer contro l board while the printer is plugged in.

T o avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external printer option.

DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY:

The control board and internal printer options (Memory DIMM, Network Card and Hard Disk) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or removing an internal option, 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 round before finishing installation, discharge any static electricity once again.

Installing Memory DIMM

Your printe r has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot. Use this DIMM slot to install more memory for the printer.

OTE

: Your printer has 32 MB of memory which can be expanded to 288 MB. Use only the Samsung-approved DIMM. Contact your Samsung dealer.

Turn the printer power off and unplug all cables from th e printer.

Remove the duplex -slot cover from the back of the printer. If you installed an optional duplex unit, remove it from the

printer.

9.1

Installing Printer Options

Hold the control board cover and remove it.

Completely open the latches on each side of the DIMM slot.

Remove the memory DIMM from its antistatic package. Locate the alignment notches on the bottom edge of the

DIMM.

Notches

Connection

Points

Push the DIMM straight into the DIMM slot until it snaps into place. Make sure the latches fit over the notches located on either side of the DIMM.

Installing Printer Options

Removing the Memory DIMM

Follow steps 1 and 3 on page 9.1 to access the control board.

Push the latches at both ends of the DIMM slot away from the DIMM. Pull out the DIMM.

Place the DIMM in its original package or wrap it with a sheet of thin metal, such as aluminium foil, and store it i n

a box.

Follow from step 8 on page 9.2.

• When you purchase a wired/wireless network interface

card, the antenna connected to the card may not be separated from the card, depending on your country.

Review the precaution on page 9.1 and then follow this procedure to install the network in your printer.

Turn the printer power off and unplug all cables from th e printer.

Remove the duplex-slot cover from the back of the printe r.

If you installed an optional duplex unit, remove it from the printer.

Hold the control board cover and remove it.

If you are replacing an existing network interface card with a new one, remove the two screws and the old card.

Paper Specifications

Overview

Your printer accepts a variety of print materials, such as cutsheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies, and custom-size paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors affecting the printer’s performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this User’s Guide can cause the following problems:

• Poor print quality

• Increased paper jams

• Premature wear on the printer.

OTES

• Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which Samsung has no control.

• Before purchasing large quantities of paper, ensure that the paper meets the requirements specified in this User’s Guide.

Problems with feeding

OTES

• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.

• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.

• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (195 °C or 383 °F for 0.1 second).

Ragged edges

Use good quality paper.

Care should be taken not to purchase more pa per than can be used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to large supplies of paper.

Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have m o re potential for environment damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.

The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45% to 55%. The following guidelines should be co nsidered when evaluating the paper’s storage environment:

• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.

• The air should not be too dry or too humid.

• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Printer and Paper Storage Environment

Paper storage environm ental conditions directly affect the feed operation.

Ideally , the printer and paper storage environment should b e at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.

Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause paper jams.

Envelopes

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:

• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m

• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in) 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.

• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges.

Multi-Purpose Tray

OTES

• Use only the Multi-Purpose Tray to print envelopes.

• You may experience some paper jams when using any m edia with a length less than 127 mm (5.0 in). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Printer and Paper Stor age Environment” on page 10.4.

(24 lb) or jamming may occur.

Minimum Maximum

216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 in)

10.4

Specifications

Envelopes with Double Side Seams

Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustr ated below.

Labels

CAUTION

• To avoid damaging the printer , use only labels recommended for laser printers.

• To preve n t serious jams, always use the Multi-Purpose Tray to print labels and always use the rear output tray.

• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial sheet of labels.

Correct

Incorrect

Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps

Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even damage the fuser.

Envelope Margins

The following gives typical address m a rgins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope.

Type of Address Minimum Maximum

Return address 15 mm (0.6 in.) 51 mm (2 in.) Delivery address 51 mm (2 in.) 89 mm (3.5 in.)

OTES

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

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

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 195 °C (383 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.

• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.

• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5 in) of curl in any direction.

• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.

See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.7.

Transparencies

Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand 140 °C (284 °F), the printer’s fusing temperatur e.

AUTION

transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.8.

To avoid damaging the printer, use only

Envelope Storage

Proper storage of envelopes help s contribute to print qualit y. Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle d u ring printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.6.

Use Printer Fonts

Because downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time. When u sing Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fon ts used in your document to those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in your document that are very differen t from those resident in the printer, your printed output will appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.
