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.

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.

•

Use designated print media (see "Print media specifications" on page 76).

The use of flammable media or foreign materials left in the printer may lead to overheating of the unit and, in rare cases may cause a fire.

• The type, size, and weight of the print media for your machine are described in print media specifications (see "Print media specifications" on page 76).

• 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.

you print a page and load only one type, size and weight of print media at a time on the manual tray.

• 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 76).

• 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 32).

• When papers overlap when printing using the manual feeder, open tray 1 and remove the overlapping papers then try printing again.
