Guidelines for special print media
Media typeGuidelines
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. 
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.

Cleaning your machine
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below each time 
the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality problems occur.
Caution
• Cleaning the machine cabinet with cleaning materials that 
contain large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong 
substances can discolor or damage the cabinet.
• If your machine or its surrounding is contaminated with toner, 
we recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with 
water to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in 
the air and might be harmful for you. 
• After cleaning, wipe the cabinet to remove any moisture.
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.
1Press the top cover lever, completely open the top cover.   
2Grasp the handles on the toner cartridge and pull to remove the

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:
• Inside the protective bag from the original package 
• Correct side up in a horizontal position (not standing on end)
• Do not store consumables in; 
- Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F). 
- Humidity range less than 20% and not greater than 80%.
- An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
- Direct sunlight or room light.
- Dusty places.
- A car for a long period of time.
- An environment where corrosive gases are present.
• An environment with salty air.
Handling instructions
• Do not touch the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge. 
• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
• Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; 
this can cause internal damage and toner spillage.
Use of non-Samsung and refilled toner cartridge
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of non-
Samsung brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store 
brand, refilled, or remanufactured toner cartridges. 
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.
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.
Redistributing toner
When small amount of toner is left in the cartridge, 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.
