This chapter includes: •Selecting print media • Changing the tray size • Loading paper in the tray • Printing on special media • Setting the paper size and type • Using the output support Selecting print media You can print on a variety of print me dia, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meets the guidelines for use with your machi ne and from the appropriate tray. Guidelines for selecting the print media Print media that does not meet the gui delines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following problems: • Poor print qua lity • In creased paper jams •Pre mature wear on the machine. •Permanen t fuser damage, not covered under warranty. Properties, such as weight, compositio n , 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 later in this section. • Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for your project. • Bri ghtness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce sharper, more vibrant images. • Surfa ce 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 section and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of the sheets characteristics, impro per handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity levels, or other variables over which cannot be controlled. • Before purcha sing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets the required specifications in this user’s guide and meets your output requirements. • 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. • Make sure not to use the inkjet photo paper with this machine.

Printing on special media The table below shows the available special media for each tray. When using special media, we recommend you feed one paper at a time. Check the maximum input number of media for each tray (See Print media specifications on page 92 ). TypesTrayManual feeding in the tray Plain ●● Thick ●● Thin ●● Cotton ●● Color ●● Preprinted ●● Recycled ●● Envelope ● Transparency ● Labels ● CardStock ● Bond ● Archive ● Glossy Photo ● Matte Photo ● ( ●: Supported, Blank: Not supported) The following media types are shown in the Prin ting Preferences. This paper type option allows you to set the type of paper to be loaded in the tray. Selecting the appropriate medi a will let you get the best printout quality. Selecting inappropriate medi a can result in poor print quality. • Plain: Normal plain paper. Select this type if your printing on 70 to 90 g/ m2 (19 to 24 lbs bond). • T hick: 90 to 105 g/m2 (24 to 28 lbs bond) thick paper. • Th in: 60 to 70 g/m2 (16 to 19 lbs bond) thin paper. • C otton: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) cotton paper. • Co lor: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) color-backgrounded paper. • Pr eprinted: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) preprinted/letterhead paper. • R ecycled: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) recycled paper. When you use recycled paper, printouts might be wrinkled and/or jamming may occur due to excessive curl. • En velope: 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lbs bond) envelope. • Tr ansparency: 0.104 to 0.124 mm (0.004094 to 0.004882 inches) tran sparency paper. • La bels: 120 to 150 g/m2 (32 to 40 lbs bond) label.

Media and tray_ 57 •CardStock: 105 to 163 g/m2 (28 to 43 lbs bond) cardstock. • Bo nd: 105 to 120 g/m2 (28 to 32 lbs bond) bond. • Arch ive: 70 to 90 g/m2 (19 to 24 lbs bond). If you need to keep the print-out for a long time, such as for archives. • Gl ossy Photo: 111 to 220 g/m2 (30 to 58 lbs bond) glossy photo paper. • M atte Photo: 111 to 220 g/m2 (30 to 58 lbs bond) matte photo paper. Envelopes Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. To print an envelope, place it flap side down with the stamp area on the top left side. • When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors: -Wei ght: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 otherwise, jams may occur. -Co nstruction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.24 inch.) curl, and should not contain air. -Co ndition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, either damaged. -Tem perature: Use envelopes that are com patibl e with the heat and pressure of the machine during operation. • Use only wel l-constructed envelopes wi th sharp-and well-creased folds. • Do not use sta mped envelopes. • Do not use envel opes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials. • Do not use damag ed or poorly made envelopes. • Be su re the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope. 21 1Acceptable 2Unacceptable • 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 about 170°C (338 °F) for 0.1 second. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or jams and may even damage the fuser. • For the best print qual ity, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.59 inch.) from th e edges of the envelope. • Avo id printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet. Transparencies To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for laser printers. In case of color printing using transparencies, the picture quality would be lower than mono printing when the printouts are used on the overhead projector. • Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand machine’s fusing temperature. • Pl ace them on a flat surface afte r removing them from the machine. • D o not leave unused transparencies in the paper tray for long periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate on them, resulting in spotty printing. • T o avoid smudging caused by finge rprints, handle transparencies carefully. • T o avoid fading, do not expose pr inted transparencies to prolonged sunlight. • En sure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges. • D o not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet. •T o prevent transparencies from sticki ng to each other, do not let the printed sheets stack up as they are begin printed out. • R ecommended media: Xerox 3R91331 (A4), Xer ox 3R2780 (Letter) Base type transparency (ex. Xer ox 3R91331) results in better image and paper handling quality than paper backed (ex. Xerox 3R3028) or removable stripe ( 3R3108) ones. •Transparency with static electricity can cause image quality problems. • Depe nding on the selection or storage conditions of the transparency, jam or image scratch might occur. Labels To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser machines. •When selecting labels, consider the following factors: -Ad hesives: The adhesive material should be stable at your machine’s fu sing temperature (about 170°C (338 °F)). - Ar rangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between th em. 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 (0.51 inch.) of curl in any direction. - Cond ition: Do not use labels with wrinkl es, 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. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Media and tray_ 58 •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/Custom-sized paper •Do not print on media smaller than 76 mm (3.00 inches) wide or 152 .4 mm (6.00 inches) long. • In software applications, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edg es of the material. Letterhead/Preprinted paper Single-sideddouble-sided Face up AAAAA Face down AAAAA • Letterhead/ Preprinted paper must be pr inted 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. Check your machine’s specification to view t he fusing temperature about 170°C (338 °F). • Letterhea d/ Preprinted paper ink mu st be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine rollers. • Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes during storage. • Before you loa d letterhead/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. Recycled paper When loading recycled paper, printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the front. If you expe rience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed. • Recycled paper 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. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature about 170°C(338 °F). • Recycled paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine rollers. • Before you loa d recycled paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off recycled paper, reducing print quality.
