Guidelines for select the print media

Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user 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:

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

•

Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this user 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 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 76).

• Make sure not to use the inkjet photo paper with this machine. It could cause damage to the machine.

• Using flammable print media can cause a fire.

•

Envelope

Printing successfully on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes.

To print an envelope, place it as shown in the following figure.

- Condition: should not be wrinkled, nicked, nor damaged.

- Temperature: should resist 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.

If envelopes are printed out with wrinkles, crease, or black bold lines, open the rear cover and try printing again. Keep the rear cover opened during printing.

If you select Envelope from the Printing Preferences window, but the printed images get easily erased, select Thick Envelope and try printing again. However, this might cause some noise when printing.

• When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors:

- Weight: should not exceed 90 g/m2 otherwise; jams may occur.

- Construction: should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl and should not

contain air.

1 Acceptable 2 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 for 0.1 second (about 170°C). 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.

2. Basic Setup

Page 34

Media and tray

Transparency

To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers.

• Must withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet.

• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:

- Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature about 170°C, and not have excessive curl. Only use labels that have For

use in Laser Printers on the carton box.

2. Basic Setup

Page 35

Media and tray

- 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.

- 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.

uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.

• Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C).

• Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine rollers.

• Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.

After loading paper in the paper tray, set the paper size and type using the display screen. For computer printing, select the paper size and type in the application program you use on your computer.

The paper setting in the machine and driver should match to print without a paper mismatch error.

• You change the paper setting set in the machine from Samsung Easy Printer Manager program or SyncThru™ Web Service.

- If you machine is connected to the local, you can set the machine’s

setting from Samsung Easy Printer Manager > Advanced Setting > Device Settings (see "Using Samsung Easy Printer Manager" on page

3. Maintenance

Page 47

Storing the toner cartridge

Toner cartridge 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 this 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 its 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 30°C.

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.

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 a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner cartridges.

- Humidity range less than 20% and greater than 80%.

- 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.

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

Page 48

Redistributing toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:

• White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side.

• The Toner LED blinks orange.

• The computer’s Samsung Printing Status program window appears on the computer telling you which cartridge is low on toner

(see "Using Samsung Printer

Status" on page 180).

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.

Before opening the front cover, close the output support first.

• 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.

5. Appendix

Page 91

Regulatory information

As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8 inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.

This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Some require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of common restrictions are listed below:

Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane. IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth communication devices are examples of devices that provide wireless communication.

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling between countries with your system, check with the local Radio Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless device in the destination country.

If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields are in place and the system is fully assembled.

Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it. Contact manufacturer for service.

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.
