############## Guidelines for special print media
|Media type|Guidelines| |---|---| |Transparencies|• To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in laser machines.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 9.1.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the machine.
• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time. 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.
Caution Recommended media: Transparency for a Color Laser Printers produced by HP, Xerox and 3M. It is not recommended to use paperbacked transparencies such as Xerox 3R91334, which can cause a jam or be scratched.
Note If your machine does not feed the transparency print media properly, put a blank sheet of paper under the transparency, and try again.
|
|Media type|Guidelines| |---|---| |Labels|• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser machines.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 9.1.
- 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: Prior to printing, labels 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.
| |Card stock or custom-sized materials|• Do not print on media smaller than 105 mm wide or 148 mm long.
• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.
Note
If you experience jams with card stock feeding, turn the paper around and try again.
| |Preprinted paper|• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 9.1.
• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing print quality.
|
############# Loading paper in the tray
Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray. The tray can hold a maximum of 100 sheets of 75 g/m2 (20 lb bond) plain paper.
Note When the tray does not close properly, pull the tray half way out and try again.
| | | |---|---| | | |
#################### Note
• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the rear. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
############## Changing the paper size in the tray
To load different sizes of paper, such as custom-sized paper, you need to adjust the paper guides.
1 Adjust the paper length guide to the desired paper length. It is
preset to Letter or A4 size depending on the country. To load another size, hold the lever and move the length guide to the corresponding position.
#################### Note
#################### Note
############# Setting the paper size and type
The settings you change remain in effect only while you are using the current program. To make your changes permanent, make them in the Printers folder.

This chapter provides information for maintaining your machine and the toner cartridge.
This chapter includes:
############# Printing a machine report
Press and hold Stop/Clear button for about 4 seconds to print a machine report.
############# Cleaning your machine
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print and scan quality problems occur.
#################### Caution
############## Cleaning the outside
Make sure to brush off the dirt on the cloth provided before cleaning the cabinet. Make sure to spray water 4 to 6 times onto the cloth provided, or another cloth suitable for this purpose before cleaning the cabinet, wiping in on direction.
############## Cleaning the inside
During the printing process, paper, toner and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems. Contact a service representative to clean the parts inside the machine.
#################### Caution
Note If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
Note If the top cover is not completely closed, the machine will not operate.
Caution Be careful not to pinch your fingers, since the top cover is very heavy.
############# Maintaining the cartridge Toner cartridge storage
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the recommendations to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment as the printer it will be used in; this should be in controlled office temperature and humidity conditions. The toner cartridge should remain in its original, 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, always store the cartridge:
############## Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of nonSamsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand, refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges.
#################### Caution
• Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand 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-out number may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating environment, printing interval, media type, and/or media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is high and you may need to change the cartridge more often.
############# Redistributing toner
When a toner is low the toner LED( ) blinks slowly. It may cause faded or light areas on a paper. You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. For detailed information about error message, see page 7.7.
Note In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
Caution
Note If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
5 Hold the top cover and close it slowly and carefully, until the cover is
the cover is securely latched.
Note If the top cover is not completely closed, the machine will not operate.
Caution Be careful not to pinch your fingers, since the top cover is very heavy.

################# Control Panel
A control panel is a flat area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in top or front of the machine.
################# Coverage
This is the printing term used for toner usage measurement on printing and generally used as 5% coverage. 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be over 5% and at the same time, toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
Default The first set values.
################# DPI
This is the measurement of resolution which is used for printing or scanning. Generally, more dots per inch result in a higher resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.
################# Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs, usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000 pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages a day, which is not small amount.
Fuser Unit This is the part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media. It consists of two hot rollers. After toner is transferred onto the paper, the fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that the toner stays on the paper permanently, which is why paper is warm when it comes out of a laser printer. Grayscale Shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image when color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented by various shades of gray. Halftone
This is an image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of dots. Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter areas consist of a smaller number of dots.
################# ISO
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an international standard-setting body composed of representatives from national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and commercial standards.
################# LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the status of a machine.
################# Print Media
Media such as papers, labels, and transparencies which can be used on a printer, a scanner, a fax or, a copier.
################# OPC Drum
A mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam emitted from a laser printer, and it is usually green or gray-colored and cylinder-shaped. An exposing unit of a drum is slowly worn away by its usage of the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately since it becomes scratched from grit in paper.
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing two-dimensional documents in a device-independent and resolution-independent format.
################# PPM
Pages Per Minute. PPM shows the printer's speed, how many pages a printer can actually print per minute.
################# PRN file
An interface for a device driver, this allows software to interact with the device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies many tasks.
################# Resolution
The sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher the dpi, the greater the resolution.
################# Toner cartridge
It is a kind of bottle within a machine like a printer which contains toner. Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers which forms the text and images on the printed paper. Toner can be melted by the heat of the fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in the paper.
################# URL
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates what protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the domain name where the resource is located.
################# USB
Universal serial bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals. Unlike the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a single computer USB port to multiple peripherals.

########### What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the exact 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 printer. You need only tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your document.
########### Creating a New Page Overlay
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.
The file is not printed. Instead it is stored on your computer hard disk drive.
NOTE: The overlay document size must be the same as the documents you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.
########### Using a Page Overlay
After an overlay has been created, it is ready to be printed with your document. To print an overlay with a document:
If you have stored the overlay file you want to use in an external source, you can also load the file when you access the Load Overlay window. After you select the file, click Open. The file appears in the Overlay List box and is available for printing. Select the overlay from the Overlay List box.
If this box is not checked and an overlay has been selected, the overlay automatically prints with your document.
The selected overlay downloads with your print job and prints on your document.
NOTE: The resolution of the overlay document must be the same as that of the document you will print with the overlay.
Deleting a Page Overlay You can delete page overlays that you no longer use.
