reduce risk of fire, electric shock and injury to people:
1Read and understand all instructions.
2Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.
3Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the literature
accompanying the machine.
4If 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.
5Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket and/or telephone jack before

Laser Safety Statement
The printer is certified in the U.S. to conform to the requirements of DHHS 21 CFR,
chapter 1 Subchapter J for Class I(1) laser products, and elsewhere is certified as a
Class I laser product conforming to the requirements of IEC 825.
Class I laser products are not considered to be hazardous. The laser system and printer
are designed so there is never any human access to laser radiation above a Class I level
during normal operation, user maintenance or prescribed service condition.
WARNING
Never operate or service the printer with the protective cover removed from Laser/
Scanner assembly. The reflected beam, although invisible, can damage your eyes.
When using this product, these basic safety precautions should always be followed to
reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to persons:
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 Your machine may have a heavy cover for optimal pressure on the document for
the best scanning and/or faxing (usually the flatbed-type machine). In this case,
replace the cover after placing document on the scan glass, by holding and
moving it down slowly until it seats on its location.
13 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.
14 Unplug the machine from the telephone jack, 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.
15 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.
16 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 and telephone cord
for the duration of the lightning storm.
Ozone Safety
During normal operation, this machine produces ozone. The ozone
produced does not present a hazard to the operator. However, it is
advisable that the machine be operated in a well ventilated area.

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to
use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone
facsimile machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom
of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission the following
information:
(1) the date and time of transmission
(2) identification of either business, business entity or individual sending the message;
and
(3) telephone number of either the sending machine, business, business entity or
individual.
The Telephone Company may make changes in its communications facilities,
equipment operations or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the
operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations in FCC
Part 68. If such changes can be reasonably expected to render any customer terminal
equipment incompatible with telephone company communications facilities, or require
modification or alteration of such terminal equipment, or otherwise materially affect its
use or performance, the customer shall be given adequate notice in writing, to allow the
customer an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted service.
Ringer Equivalence Number
The Ringer Equivalence Number and FCC Registration Number for this machine may
be found on the label located on the bottom or rear of the machine. In some instances
you may need to provide these numbers to the telephone company.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is a measure of the electrical load placed on the
telephone line, and is useful for determining whether you have “overloaded” the line.
Installing several types of equipment on the same telephone line may result in problems
making and receiving telephone calls, especially ringing when your line is called. The
sum of all Ringer Equivalence Numbers of the equipment on your telephone line should
be less than five in order to assure proper service from the telephone company. In some
cases, a sum of five may not be usable on your line. If any of your telephone equipment
is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as
it may cause harm to the telephone network.
ii
WARNING:
FCC Regulations state that changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
In the event that terminal equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the
telephone company should notify the customer that service may be stopped. However,
where prior notice is impractical, the company may temporarily cease service, providing
that they:
a) promptly notify the customer.
b) give the customer an opportunity to correct the equipment problem.
c) inform the customer of the right to bring a complaint to the Federal Communication
Commission pursuant to procedures set out in FCC Rules and Regulations Subpart E
of Part 68.
You should also know that:
• Your machine is not designed to be connected to a digital PBX system.
• If you intend to use a computer modem or fax modem on the same phone line as

telephone, share the line with your machine.
• If your area experiences a high incidence of lightning or power surges, we
recommend that you install surge protectors for both the power and the telephone
lines. Surge protectors can be purchased from your dealer or telephone and
electronic specialty stores.
• When programming emergency numbers and/or making test calls to emergency
numbers, use a non-emergency number to advise the emergency service dispatcher
of your intentions. The dispatcher will give you further instructions on how to actually
test the emergency number.
• This machine may not be used on coin service or party lines.
• This machine provides magnetic coupling to hearing aids.

5 Loading originals and print
media
This chapter introduces you to how to load originals and print media into
your machine.
This chapter includes:
•Loading originals
•Selecting print media
•Loading paper
•Setting the paper size and type
•Verifying an output location
Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass or ADF to load an original for copying,
scanning, and sending a fax.
On the scanner glass
Make sure that no originals are in the ADF. If an original is detected in the
ADF, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass.
To get the best scan quality, especially for colored or gray-scaled images,
use the scanner glass.
1Lift and open the scanner lid.
2Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with
the registration guide at the top left corner of the glass.
3Close the scanner lid.
Notes
• Leaving the scanner lid open while copying may affect copy
quality and toner consumption.
• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the
printout. Always keep it clean.
In the ADF
Using the ADF, you can load up to 30 sheets of paper (75 g/m2) for one
job.
When you use the ADF:
• Do not load paper smaller than 142 x 148 mm or larger than
216 x 356 mm.
• Do not attempt to load the following types of paper:
- carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper
- coated paper
- onion skin or thin paper
- wrinkled or creased paper
- curled or rolled paper
- torn paper
• Remove all staples and paper clips before loading.
• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely
dry before loading.
• Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.
• Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents
having other unusual characteristics.
5.1 <
Loading originals and print media>
To load an original into the ADF:
1Load the original face up into the ADF. Make sure that the bottom of
the original stack matches the paper size marked on the document
input tray.
2Adjust the document width guides to the paper size.
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 machine. 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 machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, are
important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the output
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate
for your project.
• Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper
adjusters of the paper tray.
• Weight: Your machine supports print media weights as follows:
- 60 to 90 g/m
- 60 to 165 g/m2 bond for the manual tray
• 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.

bond for the tray
Note
Dust on the ADF glass may cause black lines on the printout.
Always keep it clean.
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 materials,
keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on
page 5.3.
• 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 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 machine.
• 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 30 °C.
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 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.
Caution
If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface of the rear
cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.
Media typeGuidelines
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
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.
Acceptable
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 of 180 °C 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 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.
Labels• To avoid damaging the machine, 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, the machine’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 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.
Card stock or
custom-sized
materials
• Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm wide
or 148 mm long.
• In the software application, set margins at least
6,4 mm away from the edges of the material.
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 of 180 °C 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 at the front. If you
experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around.
Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
In the manual tray
The manual tray can hold special size and type of print material, such as
transparency, postcard, note card, and envelope. The manual tray can
hold 1 sheet of paper.
To load paper in the manual tray:
1Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
Notes
• Do not push the paper width guide far enough to cause
the materials to warp.
• If you do not adjust the paper width guide, it may cause
paper jams.
6After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the tray. See
page 5.7 for copying and faxing or the Software Section for PCprinting.
Notes
Depending on the 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 machine first.
• Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the machine
first.
• Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the
machine.
• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the
machine first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an
uncurled edge toward the machine.
