• 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.
Note
• 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.
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, or other print materials, keep these
guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, 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 machines.
• Avoid using the following media types:
- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, 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 could result in paper jams, chemical
smells, and damage to your machine.
• 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 moisture or other conditions that can
cause it to wrinkle or curl.
• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C.
The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-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 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
• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels
designed for use in laser machines.
Transparencies • To avoid damaging the machine, use only
transparencies 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
- 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.
• Transparencies used in the machine must be
able to withstand the machine’s fusing
temperature. Check your machine’s specification
• 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.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the
backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
otherwise damaged.
Note
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.
If your machine does not feed the
transparency print media properly, put a
blank sheet of paper under the
transparency, and try again.
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 and scan 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.
Caution
Cleaning the outside
• Do not touch the green surface, the OPC drum or the front of
the toner cartridge, with your hands or any other material.
Use the handle on each cartridge in order to avoid touching
this area.
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.
• If you leave the top cover open for more than a few minutes,
the OPC drum can be exposed to light. This will cause
damage to the OPC drum. Close the top cover should the
installation need to be halted for any reason.
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.

Maintaining the cartridge
Toner cartridge storage
To get the most 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 machine warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your machine.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
Expected cartridge life
The toner cartridge yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs
require. Average yield for a new toner cartridge is 2,000 standard pages
in accordance with the ISO/IEC 19752 standard. (Average yield for the
original toner cartridge supplied with the machine is 1,000 standard
pages.) The actual number may also be different depending on the print
density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be
affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.

10 Glossary
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the
status of a machine.
Control Panel
Print Media
A control panel is a flat area where control or monitoring instruments are
displayed. They are typically found in top or front of the machine.
Media such as papers, labels, and transparencies which can be used on
a printer, a scanner, a fax or, a copier.
Coverage
OPC Drum
This is the printing term used for toner usage measurement on printing
and generally used as 5% coverage. 5% coverage means that an A4
sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original
has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be over 5%
and at the same time, toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
A mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam
emitted from a laser printer, and it is usually green or gray-colored and
cylinder-shaped. An exposing unit of a drum is slowly worn away by its
usage of the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately since it
becomes scratched from grit in paper.
Default
PDF
The first set values.
Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed
by Adobe Systems for representing two-dimensional documents in a
device-independent and resolution-independent format.
DPI
This is the measurement of resolution which is used for printing or
scanning. Generally, more dots per inch result in a higher resolution,
more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.
PPM
Pages Per Minute. PPM shows the printer's speed, how many pages a
printer can actually print per minute.
Duty Cycle
Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance
for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as
pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs,
usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000
pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages
a day, which is not small amount.
PRN file
An interface for a device driver, this allows software to interact with the
device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies
many tasks.
Resolution
Fuser Unit
The sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher
the dpi, the greater the resolution.
This is the part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media.
It consists of two hot rollers. After toner is transferred onto the paper, the
fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that the toner stays on the
paper permanently, which is why paper is warm when it comes out of a
laser printer.
Toner cartridge
It is a kind of bottle within a machine like a printer which contains toner.
Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers which forms the
text and images on the printed paper. Toner can be melted by the heat of
the fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in the paper.
Grayscale
Shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image when
color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented by
various shades of gray.
URL
Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and
resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates what
protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the domain
name where the resource is located.
Halftone
This is an image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of
dots. Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter
areas consist of a smaller number of dots.
USB
Universal serial bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB
Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals. Unlike
the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a single
computer USB port to multiple peripherals.
ISO
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an
international standard-setting body composed of representatives from
national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and
commercial standards.

An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer hard

any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of

Using Your Printer with
a Macintosh
Your printer supports Macintosh systems with a built-in USB
interface or 10/100 Base-TX network interface card. When you
print a file from a Macintosh computer, you can use the CUPS driver
by installing the PPD file.
Installing Software
The CD-ROM that came with your printer provides you with the
PPD file that allows you to use the CUPS driver or Apple
LaserWriter driver (only available when you use a printer
which supports the PostScript driver), for printing on a
Macintosh computer.
