This chapter will help you understand what kind of paper
you can use with the ML-6060 series printer and how to
properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best
print quality.

Topics included in this chapter are:

◆ Choosing Paper and Other Media

◆ Selecting Output Tray

◆ Loading Paper

◆ Printing on Envelopes

◆ Printing on Labels

◆ Printing on Transparencies

◆ Printing on Preprinted Paper

◆ Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Media

Choosing Paper and Other Media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper,
envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks and so on. See
“Paper Specifications” on page A.2. To get the best possible
print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print media, consider the followings:

• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be
appropriate for the project.

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the
paper adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:

• 16~28 lbs bond for Tray 1 or optional Tray 2

• 16~53 lbs bond for Multi-Purpose Tray

• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and
produce sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

• Opacity: Opacity refers to the degree to which printing on
one side of the paper shows through the other side. Use
paper high in opacity (or thicker paper) for two-sided
(duplex) printing.

Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large
quantities.

CAUTION: Using media that does not conform to the

specification listed in the paper specification can cause
problems that may require service. This service is not covered
by the warranty or service agreements.

Paper Guidelines

Choosing Paper and Other Media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
media, 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.

• Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that
has been fed through a photocopier.

• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or
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
texture that is too smooth or too rough.

• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s
fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without
deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that
was added after the paper was produced.

• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat­resistant ink that do not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s
approximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1
second.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. 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.

The printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray.
To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray,
open it.

• If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try

printing to the rear output tray.

• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer is
printing.

Printing to the Top Output Tray

The top output tray collects paper face-down, in
correct order. The top output tray should be used

for most print jobs and is recommended for printing
the following:

• over 250 sheets of paper, continuously

Using the Multi-Purpose Tray

The Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer.
It can be closed when you are not using it, making the printer
more compact. The Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes
and types of paper, 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 separator sheets, or other special paper that you do not
normally keep in the paper tray.

You can load approximately 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes,
20 transparencies, 10 card stocks or 25 labels at a time.

When you print from the Multi-Purpose Tray, you must select
Multi-Purpose Tray for Paper Source from your software
application, and then select the paper size and type from the
software application for the paper you have loaded. See page

5.3.

Loading Paper

• Load only one size of print media at a time in the Multi­Purpose Tray.

• 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 media should be loaded face up with the top of the
print media going into the Multi-Purpose Tray first and

be

placed against the left edge of the tray.

• Do not place objects on the Multi-Purpose Tray. Also avoid
pressing down or applying excessive force on it.

Printing on Labels

Guidelines

• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

• Do not load more than 25 labels into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time.

• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C
(392°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.

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

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

software application. For details, see
page 5.3.

Note: To prevent them from sticking

together, remove label sheet from the
output tray as they are printed out.

RINT M EDIA

P

Printing on Transparencies

Guidelines

• Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.

• Do not load more than 20 transparencies into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time.

• Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not have
any torn edge.

• Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your
fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.

• Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side.

Printing on Preprinted Paper

XXXXXXXXXX

Preprinted paper is a form with some type of printing on them before they are sent through
the printer, such as a letterhead having a preprinted logo or text located at the top of the
page.

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 400°F
(205°C) for 0.1 second.

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

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

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

1

Load letterheads into the tray you want
to use as shown in the figures. Adjust

Printing on Both Sides of the Paper

To print on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing), you
must run the paper through the printer twice. You can print
using the top output tray (face down tray) or the rear output
tray (face up tray). Samsung recommends using the top
output tray for light-weight paper. Use the rear output tray for
any heavy media or media that tends to curl when printed,
such as envelopes and card stock.

Note: To print on both sides of the paper, you must use the

(Manual Duplexing)

Multi-Purpose Tray for the paper input source. Load paper in
the Multi-Purpose Tray.

When you change the print settings from your software

1

application, access the printer properties. See page 5.2 to
access the printer properties.

From the Paper tab, select the paper orientation, source,
size and type.

Note: If you can not see

What is an Overlay?

Creating a New Page

Overlay

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD
as a special file format that can be printed on any document
you choose. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, for example, you can create an overlay
containing the exact same information as is currently on your
letterhead. Then when you want to print a letter with your
company’s letterhead, you do not need to load preprinted
letterhead paper in the printer. You need only to tell the
printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

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

Create or open a document containing a text or image you

1

want to use for page overlay. Position the items exactly as
you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay. If
needed, save the file for later use.

cartridge and the printer.

Topics included in this chapter are:

◆ Maintaining Toner Cartridge

◆ Cleaning the Printer

Maintaining Toner Cartridge

Toner cartridge storage

Toner cartridge life

expectancy

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

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you
are ready to use. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened
package is approximately 2 years. The shelf life of a cartridge
in an opened package is approximately 6 months.

• Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not

cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.

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

• Do not remove a toner cartridge from the printer except to
replace it, clean it or clear a paper jam. Replace the cartridge
immediately.

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

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of the
toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5 %
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 6,000 pages.
(But, the toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an
average of 3,000 pages.)

Recycling toner

cartridge

Saving toner

After you install a new toner cartridge (see page 2.2), follow the
instructions included in the toner cartridge box to recycle the old
cartridge.

To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer
control panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the
Toner Save Mode in your printer properties. Refer to “Using
Toner Save Mode” on page 5.6. Selecting this option will expand
the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but
will reduce print quality.

Toner Cartridge

Redistributing Toner

When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to
temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may
allow you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner cartridge.

1

Open the top cover.

2

Remove the toner cartridge from the
printer.

CAUTIONS:

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

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

3

Gently shake the toner cartridge from
side to side 5 or 6 times to redistribute
the toner.

Note: If the toner gets on your

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

6.3

Cleaning the Printer

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below every time the toner cartridge
is replaced or whenever print quality problems occur. As much as possible, keep the printer
free from dust and debris.

Notes:

• Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents such as thinner, on or around the
printer. These can damage the printer.

• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located
underneath the toner cartridge ). The oil from your hands on the roller can cause print quality
problems.

Cleaning the Outside

Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lint­free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be
careful not to be let any water drip onto the printer or inside of
it.

Cleaning the Inside

Cleaning inside the printer

Note: To prevent damage

to the toner cartridge, do
not expose it to light for
more than a few minute.
Cover it with a piece of
paper, if necessary. Also,
do not touch the black
transfer roller inside the
printer. By doing so, you
can damage the printer.

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles
can accumulate inside the printer. Over time, this buildup can
cause print quality problems such as toner specks or smearing.
Cleaning inside the printer will eliminate or reduce these
problems.

Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for

1

the printer to cool.

Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge.

2

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

cotton swab.

Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover. Then,

5

turn the printer on.

Printing a cleaning sheet

Printing a cleaning sheet cleans the drum inside the toner
cartridge. Use this process if you are experiencing blurred,
faded or smeared printouts. This process will produce a page
with toner debris, which should be discarded.

Make sure the printer is turned on and in the ready state and

1

there is paper loaded in the paper tray.

Press and hold Demo on the control panel for about 10

Printing Special Pages

Demo

OZONE

There are special pages within the memory of the printer that
will help you to diagnose and learn about problems with your
printer.

Use the Demo button on the printer control panel to print
these special pages. The printer must be in the ready mode.

Demo Page

Printing the demo page will help you check if the printer is
properly working.

Press and hold Demo for about 2 seconds until the control
panel lights blink slowly.

Configuration Sheet

The configuration sheet lists many of the current settings and
properties of the printer.

To print the configuration sheet, press and hold Demo for
about 6 seconds until the control panel lights blink rapidly.

This printing cleans the drum of the toner cartridge. Use this
process if you are experiencing blurred, faded or smeared
printouts.

Press and hold Demo for about 10 seconds until the control
panel lights remain illuminated. Discard the blank page
produced from the cleaning process.

Note: The cartridge cleaning process takes some time. To stop

the printing, turn the power off.

Clearing Paper Jams

Occasionally, paper can become jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include:

• The paper tray is loaded improperly or overfilled.

• The paper tray has been pulled out during a print job.

• The top cover has been opened during a print job.

• Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on
page A.2.

• Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used. See “Paper Specifications”.

If a paper jam occurs, the Paper and the Error lights remains lit on the control panel. Find
and remove the jammed paper. If the location of the paper jam is not obvious, look inside the
printer.

Output Area

Note: 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 because hot water will set the toner into the fabric.
