Paper Specifications
Overview
Your printer accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-
sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content 
paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size 
paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and 
moisture content, are important factors affecting the printer’s 
performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet 
the guidelines outlined in this User’s Guide can cause the 
following problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear on the printer.
NOTES: 
• Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide 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 paper, ensure that the 
paper meets the requirements specified in this User’s Guide. 
CAUTION: Using paper that does not meet these specifications 
may cause problems, requiring repairs. These repairs are not 
covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Supported Sizes of Paper
NOTE: You may experience jams when using print materials with 
a length of less than 140 mm (5.5 in.). For optimum performance, 
ensure that you are storing and handling the paper correctly.

Guidelines for Using Paper
For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m2 (20lb) paper. 
Ensure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, 
tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or 
bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as 
bond or recycled paper, check the label on the package.
The following problems may cause print quality deviations, 
jamming or even damage to the printer.
NOTES: 
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, 
such as those used in some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. 
Ensure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that 
are compatible with this fusing temperature (180°C or 356°F for 
0.1 second).
