This chapter includes: Selecting print media Changing the size of the paper in the paper tray Printing on special print materials Adjusting the output support Setting the paper size and type

SELECTING PRINT MEDIA

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 media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this users 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 machines 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. 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 users guide.

Do not push the paper width guides far enough to cause the materials to warp. If you do not adjust the paper width guides, it may cause paper jams.
5. Close the paper cover.
Squeeze the paper width guide and slide it to the edge of the lever.
6. Slide the tray back into the machine until it clicks. 7. After loading paper, set the paper type and size for the tray. See "Setting the paper size and type" on page 30. If you experience problems with paper feed, place one sheet at a time in the tray. You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should be facing up with an uncurled edge at the rear. If you experience problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
If you want to change the size to A4, first move the paper width guide to left and rotate the lever counterclockwise. If you force the lever, it could damage the tray.

Paper feeding

CONDITION Paper is jammed during printing. Paper sticks together. SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS Clear the paper jam. See page 39. Multiple sheets of paper do not feed. Paper does not feed into the machine. Ensure there is not too much paper in the tray. The tray can hold up to 150 sheets of paper, depending on the thickness of your paper. Make sure that you are using the correct type of paper. See page 30. Remove paper from the tray and flex or fan the paper. Humid conditions may cause some paper to stick together. Different types of paper may be stacked in the tray. Load paper of only one type, size, and weight. If multiple sheets have caused a paper jam, clear the paper jam. See page 39. Remove any obstructions from inside the machine. Paper has not been loaded correctly. Remove paper from the tray and reload it correctly. There is too much paper in the tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. The paper is too thick. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the machine. See page 25. There is too much paper in the tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. If you are printing on special materials, load only one size of print media at a time in the tray. An incorrect type of paper is being used. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the machine. See page 26. There may be debris inside the machine. Open the front cover and remove the debris.

CONDITION The printer does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing. Your machine has an odd smell during initial use. The print quality of photos is not good. Images are not clear. Before printing, the machine emits vapor near the output tray.
POSSIBLE CAUSE Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products.
SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS Printing the PDF file as an image may solve this problem. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options. It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image.
A print job is extremely slow. Half the page is blank.
The job may be very complex. The page orientation setting may be incorrect. The paper size and the paper size settings do not match.
The oil used to protect the fuser is evaporating.
After printing about 100 color pages, there will be no more smell. It is a temporary issue.
The resolution of the photo is very low.
Reduce the photo size. If you increase the photo size in the software application, the resolution will be reduced. This is not a problem. Just keep printing.
Using damp paper can cause vapor during printing.
The machine prints, but the text is wrong, garbled, or incomplete.
The printer cable is loose or defective.
Printing quality problems
If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem. CONDITION Light or faded print SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page: The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See page 35. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge. The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper is too moist or too rough. See page 25. If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low. Adjust the print resolution. See the help screen of the printer driver. A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU by opening and closing the front cover several times and if the problem still occurs call the contact a service representative.
The wrong printer driver was selected.
The software application is malfunctioning. The operating system is malfunctioning. Pages print, but are blank. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. The file may have blank pages. Some parts, such as the controller or the board, may be defective.

Bootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to each client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP address prior to loading any advanced operating system.
Dots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for scanning and printing. Generally, higher DPI results in a higher resolution, more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.
Charge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to prevent any damage when you move the machine.
Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection. Distinctive Ring is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers.

Collation

Collation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When collation is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing additional copies.

Duplex

A mechanism that will automatically flip over a sheet of paper so that the machine can print (or scan) on both sides of the paper. A printer equipped with a Duplex can print double-sided of paper.

Control Panel

A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of the machine.

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.

Coverage

It is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing. For example, 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 higher and at the same time, a toner usage will be as much as the coverage.
Error Correction Mode (ECM) is an optional transmission mode built into Class 1 fax machines or fax modems. It automatically detects and corrects errors in the fax transmission process that are sometimes caused by telephone line noise.
Comma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is used in Microsoft Excel, has become a pseudo standard throughout the industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.

Most Windows applications will override settings you specify in the printer driver. Change all print settings available in the software application first, and change any remaining settings using the printer driver.
