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 through the manual
tray to avoid paper jams.
• 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.

• For Card Stock or Custom-sized materials:
- Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in.(index) cards and other custom-
sized materials can be printed with this printer. The
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 tray 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.
3
• 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 100 sheets of paper. Remove
the pages so that the tray is not overloaded.

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 3,000 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.

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 cover.
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.
• Do not touch the green underside of the toner cartridge. Use the
handle on the cartridge to avoid touching this area.

Clearing Paper Jams
Occasionally, paper can be jammed during a print job. Some of
causes include:
• The tray is overfilled.
• The front cover has been opened during a print job.
• Paper that does not meet paper specifications has been used.
• Paper that is outside of the supported size range has been
used. See “Paper Specifications” on page 6.3.
If a paper jam occurs, the On Line/Error LED on the control
panel lights red. Find and remove the jammed paper. If it is
invisible, look inside the printer.
In the Paper Exit Area
Note: Paper jams in this area may result in loose toner on the
page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold
water as hot water will set the toner into the fabric.
1
If the paper jams as it exits to the output tray and a long
portion of the paper is visible, pull the paper straight out.
When you pull the jammed paper, if there is resistance and
the paper does not move immediately, stop pulling.

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
characters
• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow
images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different
Page skew
• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly
and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the
paper stack.
Curl or wave
• Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature
and humidity can cause paper curl. See “Paper
• Turn over the stack of paper in the input tray. Also try

default queue. This happens with some variants of
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.

format, some earlier versions of CUPS (1.1.10 and before)
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.

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.

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.
