Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Choosing Paper and Other Materials  
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper,  
envelopes, labels, transparencies and so on. See “Paper  
Specifications” on page 6.3. To get the best possible print  
quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.  
When you choose print materials, consider the followings:  
Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be  
appropriate for the project.  
Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the  
paper adjusters of the paper feeder.  
Weight: Your printer supports paper weight as follows:  
2
• 16~24 lbs (60~90 g/m ) bond for the tray  
2
• 16~43 lbs (60~163 g/m ) bond for the manual feed  
Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and produce  
sharper, more vibrant images.  
Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects  
how crisp the printing looks on the paper.  
Caution: Using a material that does not conform to the  
specification listed in the paper specification can cause problems  
that may require service. This service is not covered by the  
warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials  
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special  
material, keep these guidelines in mind:  
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper  
can cause paper jams and the poor print quality.  
• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print  
quality.  
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a  
texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may  
occur.  
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use.  
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 moisture, or  
other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.  
• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15 oC and  
30 oC (59 oF to 86 oF). The relative humidity should be  
between 10 % and 70 %.  
• During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as  
any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture  
from contaminating your paper.  
• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.  
• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser  
printers.  
To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and label  
sheets from sticking together, remove them as they prints  
out.  
USING PRINT MATERIALS 3.3

• For envelopes:  
- Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well  
creased folds.  
- Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.  
- Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-  
adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.  
- Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.  
- Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before  
loading envelopes in the tray, make sure that they are  
undamaged and are not stuck together.  
- Do not feed stamped envelopes.  
• For transparencies:  
- Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the  
printer.  
- 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 and  
coated paper carefully.  
- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to  
prolonged sunlight.  
- Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser  
printers.  
- Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have  
any torn edges.  
• For labels:  
- Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate fusing  
temperature of 180 oC (356o F) for 0.1 second.  
- Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material  
between them. 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 load a sheet of them through the printer more than  
once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass  
through the machine.  
- Do not use labels that are separating from the backing  
sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.  
- Only use labels recommended for laser printers.

minimum size is 76 by 127mm(3.0 by 5.0 in.) and the  
maximum size is 216 by 356mm(8.5 by 14 in.)  
- Always insert the short-edge into the Manual Feed first. If  
you want to print in landscape mode, make this selection  
through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first may  
cause a paper jam.  
- Do not print on media smaller than 76mm (3.0 in.) wide or  
127mm(5.0 in.) long.

• For preprinted paper:  
- Letterheads must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will  
not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when  
subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 205 °C  
(400 °F) for 0.1 second.  
- Ink on letterheads must be non-flammable and should not  
adversely affect any printer rollers.  
- Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof  
wrapping to prevent changes during storage.  
- Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads,  
verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing  
process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.  
• Do not use Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. Use of  
these types of paper could result in chemical smells and could  
damage your printer.

Verifying the Output Location  
The printer has the paper output tray that collects paper face-  
down, in correct order.  
Notes:  
• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the output  
tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and  
especially keep children away from the surface.  
• The front output tray can hold up to 50 sheets of paper. Remove  
the pages so that the tray is not overloaded.  
Loading Paper  
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure  
trouble-free printing. Do not remove the paper in the tray while  
a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. See “Type,  
size and capacity for the tray.  
Using the Tray  
The tray holds 150 sheets of paper. See “Type, Input Sources  
and Capacities” on page 3.3 for acceptable paper size and  
capacity of the tray.  
Load a stack of paper into the tray and print. For details about  
loading paper in the tray, see “Loading Paper” on page 2.7.

This chapter provides suggestions for maintaining the toner  
cartridge and the printer.  
This chapter includes:  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Maintaining the Toner Cartridge  
Toner cartridge storage  
To get the maximum results from the toner cartridge, keep the  
following guidelines in mind.  
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until  
ready for use.  
• Do not refill the toner cartridge. The printer warranty does  
not cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.  
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the  
printer.  
To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to  
light for more than few minute.  
Toner cartridge life expectancy  
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner  
that print jobs require. When printing text at 5% coverage, a  
new toner cartridge lasts an average of 2,000 pages. (The  
original toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an  
average of 1,000 pages.)  
4
Saving toner  
To save toner, press the Cancel button on the printer control  
panel. The Toner Save LED will be lit. You can also enable the  
Toner Save mode in the printer properties. For details, see  
Software User’s Guide. Selecting this option will extend the  
life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will  
reduce the print quality.  
MAINTAINING YOUR PRINTER 4.2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
Redistributing Toner  
When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed  
page. You may be able to temporarily improve the print quality  
by redistributing the toner. The following procedures may allow  
you to finish the current print job before replacing the toner  
cartridge.  
1
Open the front door.  
2
Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the printer.  
Cautions:  
• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fusing area may be  
hot.  
To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to  
light for more than few minutes.

3
Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six  
times to redistribute the toner.  
Note: If the toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry  
cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into  
fabric.  
4
Reinsert the toner cartridge into the printer. Ensure that the  
toner cartridge snaps into place.

5
Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely  
closed. If it is not firmly closed, printing errors may occur  
when you print.

Replacing the Toner Cartridge  
If the print remains light after redistributing toner (see  
page 4.3), replace the toner cartridge.  
Remove the old cartridge and install a new toner cartridge. See  
Using the Toner Save Mode  
The Toner Save mode allows the printer to use less toner on  
each page. Selecting this option will extend the life of your toner  
cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but will reduce print  
quality.  
There are two ways to enable the Toner Save mode:  
From the Control Panel  
Press the Cancel button on the control panel. The printer must  
be in Ready mode (On Line/Error green LED is on).  
• If the Toner Save LED is on, the mode is enabled and the  
printer uses less toner to print a page.  
• If the Toner Save LED is off, the mode is disabled and the  
printer prints in the normal mode.  
From the Printer Properties  
You can also enable the Toner Save mode in the Graphic tab of  
the printer properties. For details, see Software User’s Guide  
.

Cleaning the Printer  
To maintain the print quality, follow the cleaning procedures  
below each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality  
problems occur.  
Note: While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to  
touch the transfer roller (located underneath the toner cartridge).  
Oil from your fingers can cause print quality problems.  
Caution: Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with surfactants  
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvent or other strong  
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.  
Cleaning the Outside  
4
Wipe the outside surface of the printer with a soft, clean, lint-  
free cloth. You can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be  
careful not to let any water drip onto the printer or inside of it.  
Cleaning the Inside  
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can  
accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print  
quality problems, such as toner specs or smearing. Cleaning the  
inside of the printer will eliminate or reduce these problems.

Background  
scatter  
Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on  
the printed page.  
• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different  
batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until  
necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much  
moisture.  
• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the  
printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have  
overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams  
can cause problems.  
• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a  
printed page, adjust the print resolution through your  
software application or the printer properties.  
Misformed

• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow  
images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different

LPRng, especially on recent RedHat systems that use the  
‘printconf’ database of queues.  
• When using printconf, the /etc/printcap file is  
automatically refreshed from the database of printers  
managed by the system (usually through the ‘printtool’  
command), and the queues in /etc/printcap.local are  
appended to the resulting file. since the default queue in  
LPRng is defined as the first queue in /etc/printcap  
,
therefore it is not possible for the Samsung Printer  
Package to change the default when some queues have  
otherwise been defined using printtool.  
• LPD systems identify the default queue as the one  
named ‘lp. Thus if there is already a queue by this  
name, and if it doesn’t have any alias, then you won’t be  
able to change the default. To work around this, you can  
either delete the queue, or rename it by manually editing  
the /etc/printcap file.

have a bug preventing them from being processed  
correctly. When going through LLPR to print, the Printer  
Package will work around this issue by converting the data  
to regular PostScript. However, if your application  
bypasses LLPR and feeds EPS data to CUPS, the document  
may not print correctly.

I can’t print to a SMB  
(Windows) printer.  
To be able to configure and use SMB-shared printers (such  
as printers shared on a Windows machine), you need to  
have a correct installation of the SAMBA package that  
enables that feature. The “smbclient” command should be  
available and usable on your system.  
My application seems to  
be frozen while LLPR is  
running.  
Most Unix applications will expect a command like the  
regular “lpr” command to be non-interactive and thus  
return immediately. Since LLPR is waiting for user input  
before passing the job on to the print spooler, very often  
the application will wait for the process to return, and thus  
will appear to be frozen (its windows won’t refresh). This is  
normal and the application should resume functioning  
correctly after the user exits LLPR.

Problem  
Possible Cause and Solution  
How do I specify the IP  
address of my SMB  
server?  
It can be specified in the “Add Printer” dialog of the  
configuration tool, if you don’t use the CUPS printing  
system. Unfortunately, CUPS currently doesn’t allow to  
specify the IP address of SMB printers, so you will have to  
be able to browse the resource with Samba in order to be  
able to print.  
Some documents come  
out as white pages when  
printing.  
Some versions of CUPS, especially those shipped with  
Mandrake Linux before the 8.1 release, have some known  
bugs when processing the PostScript output from some  
applications. Try upgrading to the latest version of CUPS  
(at least 1.1.14). Some RPM packages for most popular  
distributions are provided as a convenience with this Linux  
Printing Package.  
I have CUPS and some  
options (such as N-up)  
seem to be always  
enabled even though I  
don’t pick them in LLPR.  
There may be some local options defined in your ~/  
.lpoptions file, which is manipulated by the lpoptions  
command. These options will always be used if not  
overridden by LLPR settings. To get rid of all options for a  
printer, run the following command, replacing “printer”  
with the name of the queue: lpoptions -x printer.  
I configured a printer to  
print to a file, but I get  
“Permission denied”  
errors.  
Most printing systems will not run as the super-user but as  
a special user (usually “lp”). Therefore, make sure that the  
file you have chosen to print to is accessible to the user  
owning the spooler daemon.  
On my PCL (or SPL)  
Unfortunately, some Unix applications may generate non-  
compliant PostScript output that may not be supported by  
Ghostscript, or even the printer itself in PostScript mode.  
You can try to capture the output to a file and view the  
results with Ghostscript (gv or ghostview will allow you to  
do so interactively) and see if you get error messages.  
However, since the application is at probably fault, contact  
your software vendor to inform them of the issue.

Paper Specifications  
Overview  
Your printer accepts a variety of print materials, such as cut-  
sheet paper (including up to 100% recycled fiber content  
paper), envelopes, labels, transparencies and custom-size  
paper. Properties, such as weight, composition, grain and  
moisture content, are important factors affecting the printer’s  
performance and the output quality. Paper that does not meet  
the guidelines outlined in this User’s Guide can cause the  
following problems:  
• Poor print quality  
• Increased paper jams  
• Premature wear on the printer.  
Notes:  
• Some paper may meet all of the guidelines in this guide 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 paper, ensure the paper  
meets the requirements specified in this User’s Guide.  
Caution: Using paper that does not meet these specifications  
may cause problems, requiring repairs. These repairs are not  
covered by the Samsung warranty or service agreements.

Notes:  
• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks,  
such as those used in some types of thermography.  
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.  
• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper.  
Ensure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that  
are compatible with this fusing temperature (180 °C or 372 °F

Printer and Paper Storage Environment  
Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed  
operation.  
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at  
or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember  
that paper is hygroscopic; it absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.  
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the  
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense  
on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove  
most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used,  
it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging. Humid  
weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in  
a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess  
moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses  
and gains moisture it can become distorted. This can cause  
paper jams.  
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be  
used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long  
periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can  
cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to  
large supplies of paper.  
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several  
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more  
potential for environment damage, especially if they are not  
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.  
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained  
to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition  
is 20° to 24°C (68° to 75°F), with a relative humidity of 45% to  
55%. The following guidelines should be considered when  
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:  
6
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.  
• The air should not be too dry or too humid.  
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it  
tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer  
environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount  
of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent  
unwanted moisture changes.

Using Overlays  
What is an Overlay?  
An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard  
disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on  
any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of  
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using  
preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the  
exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To  
print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you do not need  
to load preprinted letterhead paper in the printer. You need only  
tell the printer to print the letterhead overlay on your  
document.
