Using toner save mode
Toner save mode allows the printer to use less toner on each page. 
Activating this mode extends the life of your toner cartridge and reduces 
your cost per page beyond what one would experience in the normal 
mode, but it reduces print quality. This setting is not available with the 
1200 dpi setting.
There are two ways to enable this mode:
Using the control panel button
Press  Toner Save  on the control panel. The printer must be in Standby 
mode; the Status LED lights green and 
Ready is shown on the display, if 
you use the ML-3051N or  ML-3051ND.
•  If the button backlight is on, the mode is enabled and the printer uses  less toner to print a page.
•  If the button backlight is off, the mode is disabled and the printer prints  in normal mode.
From the software application
You can set toner save mode from the printer properties window on your 
printer driver. See the  Software Section.

Introduction
Once you have connected your printer to a network with an RJ-45 
Ethernet cable, you can share the printer with other network users.
You need to set up the network protocols on the printer to use it as your 
network printer. Protocols can be set up by the following two methods: 
Via network administration programs
You can configure your printer’s print server settings and manage the 
printer via the following programs that came with your printer:
•   SyncThru™ Web Admin Service :Web-based printer management 
solution for network administrators.  SyncThru™ Web Admin 
Service  provides you with an efficient way of manageing network 
devices and lets you remotely monitor and troubleshoot network 
machines from any sith with corporate internet access. Download this 
program from http://solution.sa msungprinter.com.
•   SyncThru™ Web Service : A web server embedded to your network 
print server, which allows you to configure the network parameters 
necessary for the printer to connect to various network environments.
•   SetIP : Utility program allowing you to select a network interface and 
manually configure the IP addresses for use with the TCP/IP protocol. 
See Using SetIP program on page 4.3
Via the control panel
You can set up the following basic network parameters through the 
printer’s control panel:
•  Configure TCP/IP
•  Configure IPX frame types for NetWare
•  Configure EtherTalk
Supported operating systems
The following table shows the network environments supported by the 
printer: 
• IPX/SPX: Internet Packet eXchange/Sequenced Packet eXchange
• TCP/IP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
• BOOTP: Bootstrap Protocol
Configuring TCP/IP
Your printer can be set up with a variety of TCP/IP network information, 
such as an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and DNS addresses. 
There are several ways in which your printer can be assigned a TCP/IP 
address, depending on your network.
•  Static addressing: A TCP/IP address is assigned manually by the  system administrator.
•  Dynamic addressing via BOOTP/DHCP (default): A TCP/IP address  is assigned automatically by the server.
Note 
Before configuring TCP/IP, you need to set the network 
protocol to TCP/IP.

5 Loading print media
This chapter will help you understand types of paper you can use with 
your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper trays 
for the best print quality. 
This chapter includes:
• Selecting print media
• Loading paper
• Selecting an output location
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 meet the 
guidelines for use with your printer.  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 printer.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content, 
are important factors that affect th e printer’s performance and the output 
quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
•  Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate  for your project.
•  Size: You can use any size media that fits easily within the paper  adjusters of the paper tray.
•  Weight: Your printer supports print media weights as follows: -  16 to 24 lb bond (60 to 90 g/m
2) for the tray 1 and optional tray 2
-  16 to 43 lb bond (60 to 163 g/m2)  for the mult i-purpose tray 
-  20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2) for the duplex printing (ML-3051ND only)
•  Brightness: Some print media  are whiter than others and produce 
sharper, more vibrant images.
•  Surface smoothness: The smoothne ss of the print media affects how 
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Notes
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce sati sfactory results. This may be 
the result of improper handlin g, 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 specif ied in this user’s guide. 
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.

Guidelines for selecting  and storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, env elopes, or other print materials, 
keep these guidelines in mind:
•  Always use print media that confo rm with the specifications listed on 
page 5.3.
•  Attempting to print on damp, curl ed, 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 printers.
•  Avoid using the following media types: -  Paper with embossed lettering, perfo rations, 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 coul d result in paper jams, chemical 
smells, and damage to your printer.
•  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 moistu re or other conditions that can 
cause it to wrinkle or curl.
•  Store unused print media  at temperatures between 15
o C and 30o C 
(59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 
70%.
•  Store unused print media in a mois ture-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 transparencies and 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 (24 lb) or jamming 
may occur.
-  Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes  should lie flat with less than 6 mm 
(0.25 inches) 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 printer 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 printer’s 
fusing temperature of 200° C (392° F) for 
0.1 second. 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 (0.6 inches) from the edges 
of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the 
envelope’s seams meet.
