Loading in manual feeder
The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes (see "Print media specifications" on page 116).
Tips on using the manual feeder
•Load only one type, size and weight of print media at time in the manual feeder.
•To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the manual feeder.
•Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.
•To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 116).
•Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.
•When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 42).
•When papers overlap when printing using the manual feeder, open tray and remove the papers then try printing again.
•When paper does not feed well while printing, push the paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically.
•When the machine is in a power save mode, the machine does not feed paper from the manual feeder. Wake up the machine by pressing the power button before
using the manual feeder.

Transparency
To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in
laser printers.
•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 for 0.1 second about 170°C (338 °F). The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams, and may even damage the fuser
unit.
•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.
•Must withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.
•Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
•Do not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long. 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.
2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup

Media and tray
•Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.
•To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the printed
sheets stack up as they are being printed out.
•Recommended media: Transparency for a color laser printer by Xerox, such
as 3R 91331(A4), 3R 2780 (Letter).
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
printers.
•When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.
Check your machine’s specifications to view the fusing temperature
(about 170°C (338°F)).
-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: Must lie flat with no more than 13 mm of curl in any direction.
2. Menu Overview and Basic Setup
45
Media and tray
-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.

used, computing performance, application software, connecting method, paper type, paper size, and job complexity.
3. Maintenance
71
Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature
and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these recommendations to
ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new
Samsung toner cartridge.
Store the cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used.
This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The toner
cartridge should remain in their original and unopened package until
installation – if original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the
cartridge with paper and store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf
and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is removed
from the printer, follow the instructions below to store the toner cartridge
properly.
•Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
•Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it
were installed in the machine.
•Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
-Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
-Humidity range less than 20% or greater than 80%.
1
Handling instructions
•Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge.
•Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
•Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can
cause internal damage and toner spillage.
2
Toner cartridge usage
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of non-Samsung
brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand, refilled, or
remanufactured toner cartridges.
Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused
by the use of refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner
cartridges.
-An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
-Direct sunlight or room light.
-Dusty places.
-A car for a long period of time.
-An environment where corrosive gases are present.
-An environment with salty air.
3. Maintenance
72
Storing the toner cartridge

Estimated cartridge life
Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge yield) depends on the
amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield may vary
depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or
media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the
toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more often.
3. Maintenance
73
Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
•White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density varies from side to side.
•The Status LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still
occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
•Illustrations on this user’s guide may differ from your machine depending on its options or models. Check your machine type (see "Machine overview" on page
20).
•If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water: hot water sets toner into fabric.
•To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper, if necessary.
•Do not touch the green area of the toner cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.
•Do not use sharp objects such as a knife or scissors to open the toner cartridge package. They might scratch the drum of the cartridge.
•If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.

Tips for avoiding paper jams
By selecting the correct medias, most paper jams can be avoided. To avoid paper jams, refer to the following guidelines:
•Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (see "Tray overview" on page 37).
•Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
•Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
•Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
•Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
•Do not mix paper type and size in a tray.
•Use only recommended print media (see "Print media specifications" on page 116).
