4 Selecting and loading print 
media
This chapter introduces you how select and load print media for your 
machine.
This chapter includes:
• Selecting print media
• Verifying the output location
• Loading paper
• Printing on special print materials
• Setting the paper size and type
Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, 
and labels. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with 
your machine. 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 later in this section.
• 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.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how 
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Caution 
Using print media that does not meet these specifications may 
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered 
by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.
Note
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section 
and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result 
of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and humidity 
levels, or other variables over which Samsung has no control.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it 
meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide. 
Guidelines for selecting and storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, 
keep these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on 
page 4.2.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause 
paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper 
specifically recommended for use in laser machines. 
• Avoid using the following media types:
-  Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too 
smooth or too rough
-  Erasable bond paper
- Multi-paged paper
-  Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
-  Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. 
Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical 
smells, and damage to your machine.
• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. 
Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place 
heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or 
unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can 
cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C. 
The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic 
container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating 
your paper.
• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multi-
purpose tray to avoid paper jams.
• To prevent print media, such as label sheets, from sticking together, 
remove them as they print out.

Guidelines for special print media
Media typeGuidelines
Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends upon 
the quality of the envelopes. When selecting 
envelopes, consider the following factors:
-  Weight: The weight of the envelope paper 
should not exceed 90 g/m
2 or jamming may 
occur.
-  Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes 
should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl, and 
should not contain air.
-  Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, 
nicked, or otherwise damaged.
-  Temperature: You should use envelopes that 
are compatible with 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, self-adhesive 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.
• 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. Check your 
machine’s specification to view the fusing 
temperature, see page 10.1. 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.
Acceptable
Unacceptable
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 10.1.
-  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 98 mm wide 
or 148 mm long.
• In the software application, set margins at least 
6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.
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 10.1.
• 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.
