Loading originals
You can use the scanner glass or the Dual scan document feeder (DSDF) to load
an original for copying, scanning, and sending a fax.
1
On the scanner glass
Make sure that no originals are in the DSDF. If an original is detected in the DSDF,
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.
Preparing originals
•Do not load paper smaller than 25 x 25 mm (1.0 x 1.0 inch) or larger than 297
x 432 mm (11.7 x 17 inches).
•Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry
before loading.
Open the DSDF.

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.
3
Guidelines to select print media
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:
•Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this user’s guide and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of the sheets
characteristics, improper handling, unacceptable temperature and
humidity levels, or other variables over which cannot be controlled.
•Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets
the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
•Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause
problems or require repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s
warranty or service agreements.
The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media
type used (see "Print media specifications" on page 254).
•Make sure not to use the inkjet photo paper with this machine. It could
cause damage to the machine.
•Using inflammable print media can cause a fire.
Use designated print media (see "Print media specifications" on page 254).
•
•The type, size, and weight of the print media for your machine are described
in print media specifications (see "Print media specifications" on page 254).
•Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.
•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.
The use of inflammable media or foreign materials left in the printer may
lead to overheating of the unit and, in rare cases may cause a fire.
The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media type used
(see "Print media specifications" on page 254).

Envelope
Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.
To print an envelope, place it with the flap side up.
-Temperature: 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, selfadhesive 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.
1 Acceptable
2 Unacceptable
•When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:
-Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2
(16 lb) otherwise, a jam 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 damaged.
•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 about 170°C (338 °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.

Labels
Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing down.
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
machines.
-Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than 13 mm (0.5
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 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 damaged.
•Do not load paper that does not have space between labels running the
same direction as the paper is being fed. Otherwise, it could cause paper
jams.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s
fusing temperature of about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second.
-Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them.
Labels can peel off sheets that have spaces between the labels, causing
serious jams.

Using overlay
This option is available only when you use the PCL printer driver.
What is an overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored on the computer hard drive (HDD) as a
special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used
to take the place of letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead,
you can create an overlay containing exactly the same information that is
currently on your letterhead. To print a letter with your company’s letterhead,
you do not need to load preprinted letterhead paper in the machine just print
the letterhead overlay on your document.
Create or open a document containing text or an image for use in a new
1
page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear
when printed as an overlay.
To save the document as an overlay, access Printing Preferences (see
