    selecting and loading print media
    This chapter introduces you how to load originals and print media into your machine.
    This chapter includes:
    • Selecting print media
    • Loading paper• Printing on special print medias
    • Setting the paper size and type
    SELECTING PRINT MEDIA
    You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, 
    labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meets 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.
    The illustrations of the machine are based on ML-2240 series. ML-1640 series does not have a manual tray.
    • 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. 
    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.

    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.
    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 for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s 
    specification to view the fusing temperature, see 
    page 40. 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 40.
    - 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 
    127 mm long.
    • In the software application, set margins at least 
    6.4 mm away from the edges of the material.
    Transparencies• To avoid damaging the machine, use only 
    transparencies designed for use in laser printers.
    • Transparencies used in the machine must be able 
    to withstand 180 °C, the machine’s fusing 
    temperature.
    • 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.
    • Do not use transparencies that separates from the 
    backing sheet.
    • To prevent trancsparencies from sticking to each 
    other, do not leave the printed sheets stack up as 
    they are printed out.
