Important Precautions and Safety Information

When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to people:

1 Read and understand all instructions.

2 Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.

3 Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the literature

accompanying the machine.

4 If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information, heed the

safety information. You may have misunderstood the operating instruction. If you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your sales or service representative for assistance.

5 Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket before cleaning. Do not use liquid or

aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.

6 Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall, causing

serious damage.

7 Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator, heater, air

conditioner or ventilation duct.

8 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Do not locate your machine

where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.

9 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish performance,

and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.

10 Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power or PC interface cords.

11 Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or cabinet

openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a risk of fire or shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the machine.

12 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine. Take it to a

qualified service technician when repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

13 Unplug the machine from the PC and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

• When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is damaged or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into the machine.

• If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been followed.

• If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.

• If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.

14 Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions. Improper

adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the machine to normal operation.

15 Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a remote risk of

electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC power for the duration of the lightning storm.

16 If you continuously print multiple pages, the surface of the output tray may become

hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and keep children away from the surface.

17 The Power cord supplied with your machine should be used for safe operation. If

you are using a cord which is longer than 2 m with 110 V machine, then it should

be 16 AWG

or bigger.

5 Loading print media

This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you can use with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays for the best print quality.

This chapter includes:

• Selecting print media

• Loading paper

• Knowing an output location

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 printer. 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 printer

Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are important factors that affect the printer’s performance and the output quality. When you choose print media, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project.

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

• Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows:

- 16 to 43 lb (60 to 163 g/m

) for the standard tray and manual tray

- 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m

) for the manual duplex printing

• 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.

Notes

• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section 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 print media, ensure that it meets the requirements specified in this user ’s guide.

Caution

• Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for selecting and storing 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.

Guidelines for special print media

Typ e 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.

• 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 of 180° C (356° 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.

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

Acceptable

Unacceptable

CAUTION

: If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface

of the top cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.

5.4 <

Loading print media>

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

• 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.

Card stock or custom-sized materials

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

• In the software application, set margins at least

6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of the material.

Typ e Guidelines

Loading paper

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray. The tray can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb) plain paper.

Using the standard tray

To load paper, open the tray and load paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

You can load letterhead paper with the design side face up. The top edge of the sheet with the logo should be entered into the printer first.

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 of 180° C (356° F) for 0.1 second.

• 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.

Notes

• If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in the manual tray.

• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing down with an uncurled edge enter the printer first. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the print quality is not guaranteed.

Typ e Guidelines

Loading print media>

Using the manual tray

The manual tray can hold special sizes and types of print media, such as transparency, postcard, note card, and envelope. It is useful for single page printing on special print media.

To load paper in the manual tray:

1 Load one sheet of paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

Depending on the print media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines:

• Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.

• Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first.

• Labels: Print side up and the top short edge entering the printer first.

• Preprinted paper: Design side up and the top edge entering the printer first.

• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer first.

• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down and an uncurled edge entering the printer first.

Note

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

2 Adjust the manual tray paper width guides to the width of the paper.

Do not force too much, or the paper will bend, which could result in a paper jam or skew.

3 When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the

software application. See the Software Section.

Tips on using the manual tray

• Load only one sheet of print media at a time in the manual tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the manual tray. This also applies to the standard tray.

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

• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.2 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.

Using manual feed mode

You can manually load a sheet of print media in the manual tray if you select Manual Feeder in the Source option from the Paper tab when you change print settings to print a document. See the Software Section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.

Load paper sheet-by-sheet in the manual tray, send print data to print the first page, and press the Cancel button on the control panel to print each following page.
