Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Choosing Paper and Other Media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper,
envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks and so on. See
“Paper Specifications” on page A.2. To get the best possible
print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.
When you choose print media, 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 tray.
• Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:
• 16~28 lbs bond for Tray 1 or optional Tray 2
• 16~53 lbs bond for Multi-Purpose Tray
• 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.
• Opacity: Opacity refers to the degree to which printing on
one side of the paper shows through the other side. Use
paper high in opacity (or thicker paper) for two-sided
(duplex) printing.
Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large
quantities.
CAUTION: Using media 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.

Choosing Paper and Other Media
Paper Guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special
media, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper
can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper.
• Do not use paper that has been already printed on or that
has been fed through a photocopier.
• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or
staples.
• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing and never
overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.
• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or
texture that is too smooth or too rough.
• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white
photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s
fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without
deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that
was added after the paper was produced.
• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-
resistant ink that do not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subject to the printer’s
approximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1
second.
• Store paper in its ream wrapper until 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other
conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
PRINT MEDIA 4.3

Selecting the Output Tray
The printer has two output locations: the rear output tray and the top output tray.
To use the top output tray, be sure the rear output tray is closed. To use the rear output tray,
open it.
• If paper coming out of the top output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, try
printing to the rear output tray.
• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear output tray while the printer is
printing.
Printing to the Top Output Tray (Face down)
The top output tray collects paper face-down, in
correct order. The top output tray should be used
for most print jobs and is recommended for printing
the following:
• over 250 sheets of paper, continuously
" Top output tray
Printing to the Rear Output Tray (Face up)
The printer always prints to the rear output tray if it
is open. Paper comes out of the printer face-up,
with the last page on top.
Printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray to the rear
output tray provides the straight paper path.
Opening the rear output tray might improve output

Loading Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensure
trouble-free printing. Do not remove paper tray(s) while a job
is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam.
The paper level indicator on the front of the paper tray(s)
shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the
tray is empty, the indicator turns red.

Loading Paper
Using the Multi-Purpose Tray
The Multi-Purpose Tray is located in the front of your printer.
It can be closed when you are not using it, making the printer
more compact. The Multi-Purpose Tray can hold several sizes
and types of paper, such as transparencies, cards, and
envelopes. You may also want to use the Multi-Purpose Tray
for single page print jobs on letterheads, colored paper for use
as separator sheets, or other special paper that you do not
normally keep in the paper tray.
You can load approximately 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes,
20 transparencies, 10 card stocks or 25 labels at a time.
When you print from the Multi-Purpose Tray, you must select
Multi-Purpose Tray for Paper Source from your software
application, and then select the paper size and type from the
software application for the paper you have loaded. See page
5.3.
• Load only one size of print media at a time in the Multi-
Purpose Tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still
paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. This also applies to other
types of print materials.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top of the
print media going into the Multi-Purpose Tray first and be
placed against the left edge of the tray.
• Do not place objects on the Multi-Purpose Tray. Also avoid
pressing down or applying excessive force on it.

Printing on Labels
Guidelines
• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.
• Do not load more than 25 labels into the Multi-Purpose Tray at a time.
• Verify that the labels’ adhesive material can tolerate fusing temperature of 200°C
(392°F) for 0.1 second.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material between the labels. Exposed areas
can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed
adhesive can also cause damage to printer components.
• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing
is designed for one pass through the printer.
• Do not use labels that are seperating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
otherwise damaged.

Printing on Preprinted Paper
Preprinted paper is a form with some type of printing on them before they are sent through
the printer, such as a letterhead having a preprinted logo or text located at the top of the
page.
Guidelines
• 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 400°F
(205°C) 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.

Using Toner Save Mode
Toner Save mode allows the printer to use less toner on each
page. Selecting this option will extend the life of your toner

Printing on Both Sides of the Paper
(Manual Duplexing)
To print on both sides of the paper (manual duplexing), you
must run the paper through the printer twice. You can print
using the top output tray (face down tray) or the rear output
tray (face up tray). Samsung recommends using the top
output tray for light-weight paper. Use the rear output tray for
any heavy media or media that tends to curl when printed,
such as envelopes and card stock.
Note: To print on both sides of the paper, you must use the
Multi-Purpose Tray for the paper input source. Load paper in
the Multi-Purpose Tray.

Setting Graphic Properties
This option can be used for configuring the printer to process
graphics as raster or vector images. Setting this option tells
Windows how to send graphic images to the printer. All
graphics can be printed as raster images, however some
geometric shapes or patterns print faster if they are printed as
vector graphics.
Graphic Mode
• Vector – If you select the Vector setting, Windows will send
graphics to the printer as a mixture of vector and
raster images.
• Raster – When you select the Raster setting, Windows will
send all graphics to the printer as bit map raster
images.
Note: Not all graphic images can print using the Vector
setting. If you are using the Vector setting, and your graphic
images do not print as they appear on your computer screen,
select the Raster setting and reprint your graphic.
This option can be used for configuring the halftone of the
printed illustration. The best way to choose a Halftoning setting
for your graphic image is to experiment. Print a graphic image
at each setting and choose the one you like best.
Halftoning
• Device – Choose this setting for printed graphic image that
printer provides.
• Fine – Choose this setting for printed images that you want
to have a smooth, realistic and photographic
appearance. This setting provides soft contrasts
between various shades of gray. This setting also
works well for images originally designed with color.
• Coarse – Choose this setting if your graphic images were
originally scanned in through a scanner.
• Line art – Choose this setting for graphic images with
intricate lines and fine detail, like clip art graphics.
This setting provides solid lines and sharp
contrasts between shaded areas.

as a special file format that can be printed on any document
you choose. Overlays are often used to take the place of
preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using
preprinted letterhead, for example, you can create an overlay
containing the exact same information as is currently on your
letterhead. Then when you want to print a letter with your

letterhead paper in the printer. You need only to tell the

Maintaining Toner Cartridge
To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following
guidelines in your mind.
Toner cartridge storage
• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until you
are ready to use. The shelf life of a cartridge in an unopened
package is approximately 2 years. The shelf life of a cartridge
in an opened package is approximately 6 months.
• Do not refill toner cartridges. The printer warranty does not
cover damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as the printer.
• Do not remove a toner cartridge from the printer except to
replace it, clean it or clear a paper jam. Replace the cartridge
immediately.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to
light for more than a few minutes.
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of the
toner that print jobs require. When printing text at 5 %
coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 6,000 pages.
(But, the toner cartridge supplied with the printer lasts an
average of 3,000 pages.)
Toner cartridge life
expectancy
After you install a new toner cartridge (see page 2.2), follow the
instructions included in the toner cartridge box to recycle the old
cartridge.
Recycling toner
cartridge
To save toner, press the Toner Save button on the printer
control panel. The button will be lit. You can also enable the
Toner Save Mode in your printer properties. Refer to “Using
Toner Save Mode” on page 5.6. Selecting this option will expand
the life of the toner cartridge and reduce your cost per page, but
will reduce print quality.

Toner Cartridge
Redistributing Toner
When toner is low, faded or light areas may appear on a printed page. You may be able to
temporarily improve 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 top cover.
2
Remove the toner cartridge 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 a few minutes.
3
Gently shake the toner cartridge from
side to side 5 or 6 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.

Cleaning the Printer
To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below every time the toner cartridge
is replaced or whenever print quality problems occur. As much as possible, keep the printer
free from dust and debris.
Notes:
• Do not use ammonia-based cleaners or volatile solvents such as thinner, on or around the
printer. These can damage the printer.
• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to touch the transfer roller (located
underneath the toner cartridge ). The oil from your hands on the roller can cause print quality
problems.
Cleaning the Outside
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 be 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. Over time, this buildup can
cause print quality problems such as toner specks or smearing.
Cleaning inside the printer will eliminate or reduce these
problems.
Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord, then wait for
the printer to cool.

Cleaning inside the printer
Open the top cover and remove the toner cartridge.

Note: To prevent damage
to the toner cartridge, do
not expose it to light for
more than a few minute.
Cover it with a piece of
paper, if necessary. Also,
do not touch the black
transfer roller inside the
printer. By doing so, you
can damage the printer.
With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner
from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.

Cleaning the Printer
Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the
4
cartridge compartment, and touch the glass to see if there is
dirt and debris on the glass. If dirty, gently clean it with a dry
cotton swab.
Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the top cover. Then,
turn the printer on.
5
Printing a cleaning sheet cleans the drum inside the toner
cartridge. Use this process if you are experiencing blurred,
faded or smeared printouts. This process will produce a page
with toner debris, which should be discarded.
Printing a cleaning sheet
Make sure the printer is turned on and in the ready state and
there is paper loaded in the paper tray.

Clearing Paper Jams
Occasionally, paper can become jammed during a print job. Some of the causes include:
• The paper tray is loaded improperly or overfilled.
• The paper tray has been pulled out during a print job.
• The top cover has been opened during a print job.
• Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used. See “Paper Specifications” on
page A.2.
• Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been used. See “Paper Specifications”.
If a paper jam occurs, the Paper and the Error lights remains lit on the control panel. Find
and remove the jammed paper. If the location of the paper jam is not obvious, look inside the
printer.

Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By selecting correct paper types and loading them properly,
you should be able to avoid most paper jams. If paper jams
occur, follow the steps outlined in “Clearing Paper Jams” on
page 7.7. If jams occur frequently, make sure you are
following these tips to avoid jams.
• Follow the procedures in “Load Paper” on page 2.4 to load
the paper properly. Make sure the adjustable guides are
positioned correctly.
• Do not overload the paper tray. Make sure the paper is under
the paper capacity mark on the inside of the paper tray.
• Do not pull out the paper tray while print jobs are in process.
• Flex, fan and straighten the paper before loading it.
• Do not load stacks of labels or transparencies in Tray 1.
Labels or transparencies must be fed using the Multi-Purpose
Tray.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in the paper tray.
• Use only recommended print media. See “Paper
Specifications” on page A.2.
• Make sure that the recommended print side is facing down
when loading the paper into Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 and
facing up into the Multi-Purpose Tray.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.

Paper Specifications
Printer and Paper Storage Environment
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 distort. This can cause
paper jams.
As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as
the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental
conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be
easily 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 supply 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 helpful when
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid (due to the
hygroscopic properties of paper).
• 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.

Envelopes
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within
a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with
less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) 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.
• Size: You should use only envelopes within the following size
ranges.

Notes:
• Use only the Multi-Purpose Tray to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any
media with a length less than 148 mm (5.83 in.). This may be
caused by paper that has been affected by environmental
conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are
storing and handling the paper correctly. Please refer to
“Printer and Paper Storage Environment” on page A.6.
SPECIFICATIONS A.7

Paper Specifications
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends
of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be
more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Envelopes with Double
Side Seams
Correct
Incorrect
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one
flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with
the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even
damage the fuser.

Notes:
• For best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm
(0.6 in.) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams
meet.
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during
printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.12.

Labels
CAUTIONS:
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels
recommended for laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-Purpose Tray
to print labels and always use the rear output tray.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once or
print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces
between the labels, causing serious jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than
13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.14.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only
transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.15.

Frequently Asked Questions About USB
Q
What is USB?
Universal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices to
your computer without having to open your PC. USB uses a
standard port and plug combination for connecting devices like
printers, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offers
the benefit of being able to easily add, remove, and move
devices.
A
Because USB is a relatively new technology, we recommended
using a parallel printing connection. However, USB is an option
to customers who want to print from Windows 98 across the
USB cable. If your computer’s USB port is enabled and properly
setup, you can connect your printer to it or to a chain of USB
devices via a USB cable.
How can I determine if my computer’s USB port is enabled?

Controller item.
If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, USB
is properly enabled. If you have multiple hubs on the USB chain,
try connecting your printer to a different hub or to another USB
device. Also, make sure the cable connections are firm. (USB
hubs are hardware devices into which you can plug multiple USB
cables.)
If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computer’s
documentation or contact the manufacturer for more
information on enabling and setting up USB. Remember, you can
always use a parallel cable to connect your printer’s parallel port
to your computer. (If you decide to switch to a parallel cable
connection, you may need to remove and reinstall the printer
software. )

About Remote Control Panel for DOS
DOS users have access to many printer features through
specific DOS printer drivers; however, many software
manufactures do not develop printer drivers for their software
programs. The Samsung ML-6060 series printer provides the
DOS software control panel for improved printer control when
DOS printer drivers are not available or when certain print
settings are not available through DOS software programs.
Notes:
• ML-6060 series printer’s Remote Control Panel for DOS can be
used when the printer is connected via the parallel interface.
• The ML-6060 series printer’s Remote Control Panel is not a
printer driver. It should be used to set print settings that are not
available through DOS software programs. Printer drivers are
supplied by the manufacturers of your DOS software programs.
If your DOS software program does not include a printer driver
for your Samsung printer, contact the manufacturer of the
software program or use one of the alternate printer drivers.

Selecting Print Settings
CONFIG
• Power Save determines the length of time the printer waits after
a job is printed before it goes to a reduced power state. If the
printer is used frequently, select OFF which keeps the printer
ready to print with the minimum warm-up time. This uses more
electricity to keep the printer warm and ready to print.
• Econo Mode determines the toner quantity the printer should use
when printing. If set to ON, the printer conserves toner when
printing. The default value is OFF, which provides 100% usage.
• Auto Continue determines what action the printer should take
when a manual feed print job is sent to the printer and there is no
paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. If set to ON, the printer will pick
up the paper from the standard Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 after
fifteen seconds. Otherwise, the printer will wait for you to load
paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray.
• Jam Recovery determines what action the printer should take
when a paper jam occurs. When set to OFF, the printer does not
reprint a page that has jammed. When set to ON, the printer
keeps the image in memory for a printed page until the printer
signals that the page has successfully printed. The printer reprints
all jammed pages.
JOB
• Timeout determines the amount of time (in seconds) the printer
will wait before printing the last page of a print job that does not
end with a command to print the page or a formfeed character.
Valid range is 0 to 300 seconds.
• Paper Type provides the printer with information about the type
of paper to be used for a print job. For the best result, set this to
the paper type you loaded in the paper tray in the printer. When
using the plain paper, set this to Default.
• SRT Mode makes the printer optimize the print quality to 1200
dpi image quality.

• Symbol Set determines the symbol set. A symbol set is a set
of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special
symbols used when printing with a selected font.
• Pitch sets the font pitch (only if you have selected a scalable
monospaced font). Pitch refers to the number of fixed-space
characters in a horizontal inch of type.
• Lines Per Page sets the number of lines that print on each
page. The setting can range from 5 to 128 lines per page.
• Point Size sets the font point size (only if you have selected
a scalable typographic font). Point size refers to the height of
the characters in the font. One point equals approximately
1/72 of an inch. You can select point sizes from 4.0 to 999.75
in increments of 0.25 points.
• Courier determines the courier font type: Regular or Dark.
• Font List prints the font list showing all the fonts available for
PCL emulation.

Precautions
DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD:
Never remove the printer control board while the printer is
plugged in.
To avoid the possibility of electrical shock, always disconnect the
power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external
printer option.
DISCHARGE STATIC ELECTRICITY:
The control board and internal printer options (Memory SIMM,
PS SIMM, Network interface) are sensitive to static electricity.
Before installing or removing an internal option, discharge static
electricity from your body by touching something metal, such as
the metal back plate on any device plugged into a grounded
power source. If you walk round before finishing the installation,
discharge any static electricity once again.

Memory and PostScript SIMMs
Additional printer memory and the PostScript option are provided on SIMMs (single in-line
memory modules). This procedure is applicable to either option.
Notes:
• Since PostScript setting requires 12 MB of printer memory and the ML-6060 comes with
4 MB standard, installation of the PS SIMM requires installation of a 8 MB SIMM memory as
well.
• ML-6060S comes with the PS SIMM and 16 MB RAM standard.
• ML-6060N has 16 MB RAM standard, so additional memory is not required to install option PS
SIMM.
Turn the printer power off and unplug
all cables from the printer.
