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, se lf-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.
Acceptable
Unacceptable
• 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.
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 76 mm wide 
or 356 mm long.
• In the software application, set margins at least  6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.

Caution  
Using photographic paper or coated paper may cause 
problems, requiring repairs. Su ch repairs are not covered by 
Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.
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.
Media typeGuidelinesLoading paper
In the tray
Load the print media you use for the majo rity of your print jobs in tray 1.

In the multi-purpose tray
The multi-purpose tray can hold specia l sizes and types of print material, 
such as postcards, note ca rds, and envelopes. It is useful for single page 
printing on letterhead or colored paper.
Tips on using the multi-purpose tray
• Load only one size of print media at a time in the multi-purpose tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper 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 Selecting print media on page 4.1.)
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading  them into the multi-purpose tray.
To load paper in the multi-purpose tray:
1 Hold the handle of multi-purpose tray and pull it down to open.
2 If you are using paper, flex or fan the edge of the paper stack to 
separate the pages before loading.
3Load the paper.
Note 
If you want to load the used paper which one side has been 
printed already, place the paper with the used side facing 
up.
4 Squeeze the multi-purpose tray pape r width guides and adjust them 
to the width of the paper. Do not  force too much, or the paper will be 
bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew.

Cleaning your machine
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time 
the toner cartridge is replaced.
Caution
• Cleaning the machine cabinet with cleaning materials that 
contain large amounts of alco hol, solvent, or other strong 
substances can discolor or damage the cabinet.
• If your machine or its surround ing is contaminated with toner, 
we recommend you to use a cloth or tissue dampened with 
water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blown 
into the air may be harmful to you. 
Cleaning the outside
Clean the machine cabinet with a soft,  lint-free cloth. You can dampen the 
cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or into 
the machine.
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.
1 Power off the machine and unplug the power cable.

2 Using the handle, completely open the front cover.
Caution
• Do not touch the green surface,  the OPC drum or the front of 
the toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material. 
Use the handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching 
this area.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer  belt.
• If you leave the front cover open for more than a few minutes,  the OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause 
damage to the OPC drum. Cove r the toner cartridge’s OPC 
drum with the some paper could  avoid damaging it from the 
light while you clean the inside.
3 Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the 
cartridge from the machine.
Caution
If you open the front door, be careful not to touch the 
underneath of the control panel (the lower part of the fuser unit). 
The temperature of the fuser unit might be high and could 
damage your skin.
Note
When you open the front door and work inside the machine, it is 
highly recommend that you remove the paper transfer belt first. 
Because the work you do could  contaminate the paper transfer 
belt.
4 Press the green release handle to release the paper transfer belt. 
Holding the handle on the paper transfer belt, lift it out of the 
machine.
5 Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the cartridge

6 With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from 
the toner cartridges area and their cavities. 
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.
7 Reinstall all the compartments into  the machine, and close the front 
door.
Maintaining the cartridge
toner cartridge storage
To get the most from the toner cartri dge, keep the following guidelines in 
mind:
• Do not remove the toner cartridge fr om its package until ready for use. 
• Do not refill the toner cartridge.  The machine warranty does not cover 
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the sa me environment as your machine.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridg e, do not expose it to light for 
more than a few minutes.
Expected cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that 
print jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on 
the print density of the pages you pr int on, and the number of pages may 
be affected by operating environment,  printing interval, media type, and 
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the 
cartridge more often.
Redistributing toner
When a toner is low, faded or light areas may appear. It is possible that 
colored images may be printed with incorrect colors due to flawed mixing 
of toner colors when one of the colore d toner cartridges is low on toner. 
You can temporarily improve print q uality by redistributing the toner.
• The toner-related message saying th at the toner is low may appear on 
the display.
• The SmartPanel program window appears on the computer telling you  which color cartridge is low on toner.
1 Using the handle, completely open the front cover.
Caution
• Do not touch the green surface,  the OPC drum or the front of 
the toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material. 
Use the handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching 
this area.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the paper transfer  belt.
• If you leave the front cover open for more than a few minutes,  the OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause 
damage to the OPC drum. Close the front cover should the 
installation need to be halted for any reason.
