This chapter includes:

• Loading originals 48

• Selecting print media 53

• Loading paper in the tray 54

• Printing on special media 62

• Tray Settings 69

Loading originals

You can load originals on the scanner glass or in the dual scan document feeder (DSDF) for copying, scanning, and faxing.

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.

When you place an original on the scanner glass, leave a little space between the edge of the scanner glass and the edge of the original. Otherwise, the machine may not scan the entire original.

Open the DSDF.

Place the original face down on the scanner glass and align it with the

registration guide at the top left corner of the 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 the original.

2. Media and Tray

Loading originals

Close the DSDF.

• Leaving the DSDF open while copying may affect copy quality and toner consumption.

In the dual scan document feeder (DSDF)

Preparing originals

• Dust on the scanner glass may cause black spots on the printout. Always keep it clean.

• If you are copying a page from a book or magazine, lift the DSDF until its hinges are caught by the stopper and then close the lid. If the book or magazine is thicker than 30 mm (1 inch), start copying with the lid open.

• Be careful not to break the scanner glass. You may get hurt.

• Do not put your hands on the scanner glass when closing the DSDF. The DSDF may fall on your hands and cause an injury.

• Do not look at the light inside of the scanner while copying or scanning. Doing so may harm your eyes.

• Do not load paper smaller than 148 x 210 mm (5.9 x 8.3 inches) or larger than 297 x 432 mm (11.7 x 17 inches).

• The DSDF can automatically detect A3, A4 LEF, A4 SEF, B4, B5 LEF, B5 SEF, A5 LEF, A5 SEF, Ledger, Legal, Letter LEF, Letter SEF, Statement LEF, and Statement SEF-sized originals.

• Do not load the following types of paper in order to prevent paper jams, low print quality, and machine damage:

- 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 from the original before loading it in the DSDF.

• Make sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry before loading the original.

• Do not load originals that include different sizes or weights of paper.

• Do not load booklets, pamphlets, transparencies, or documents with other unusual characteristics.

2. Media and Tray

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 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:

• The type, size, and weight of the print media for your machine are described in print media specifications (see "Print media specifications" on page 282).

• 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.

• 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 282).

• 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

282).

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.

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

2. Media and Tray

Loading paper in the tray

Standard tray / optional dual cassette feeder

Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs into the standard tray. The standard tray can hold a maximum of 1,040 sheets of plain paper.

You can purchase an optional dual cassette feeder and attach it below the standard tray to load an additional 1,040 sheets of plain paper.

• Standard tray contains two trays. (Tray 1, Tray 2)

• Optional dual cassette feeder contains two trays. (Tray 3, Tray 4)

• The process to load paper in tray 1, tray 2, tray 3, and tray 4 is the same.

Using photographic paper or coated paper may cause problems, that require repairs. Such repairs are not covered by the warranty or service agreements.

Squeeze the handle and pull out the tray.

2. Media and Tray

Loading paper in the tray

Multi-purpose tray

The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on colored paper.

Tips on using the multi-purpose tray

• Load only one type, size, and weight of print media at a time in the multipurpose tray.

• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other types of print media.

• Print media should be loaded face down with the top edge going into the multi-purpose tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.

• Always load only the specified print media to avoid paper jams and print quality problems (see "Print media specifications" on page 282).

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the multi-purpose tray.
