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 machine. Print medi a 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.
Dust on the ADF glass may cause black lines on the printout. Always 
keep it clean.
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section and still not produce satisfactory resu lts. 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 specif ied in this user’s guide. 
Using print media that does not me et these specifications may cause 
problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by 
Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

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 83. 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 spec ification to view the 
fusing temperature, see page 83.
- 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 cu rl 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.
Preprinted 
paper • Letterhead must be printe
d 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 83.
• 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.
