Media and tray
This chapter provides information on how to load print media into your
machine.

•

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.

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.

• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this user’s guide and
still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the result of the sheets
characteristics, improper handling, unacceptable temperature and
humidity levels, or other variables over which cannot be controlled.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that it meets
the requirements specified in this user’s guide.

Guidelines for select the print media
Print media that does not meet the guidelines outlined in this user’s 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 machine’s 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
in print media specifications (see "Print media specifications" on page 118).

•

Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate for
your project.

• Using print media that does not meet these specifications may cause
problems or require repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s
warranty or service agreements.
• The amount of paper put into the tray may differ according to media
type used (see "Print media specifications" on page 118).
• Make sure not to use the inkjet photo paper with this machine. It could
cause damage to the machine.
• Using flammable print media can cause a fire.
• Use designated print media (see "Print media specifications" on page
118).

Loading in manual feeder
The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes (see "Print media specifications" on page 118).

Tips on using the manual feeder
• Load only one type, size and weight of print media at time in the manual feeder.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the manual feeder.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 118).
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.
• When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 45).
• When papers overlap when printing using the manual feeder, open tray and remove the papers then try printing again.
• When paper does not feed well while printing, push the paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically.
• When the machine is in a power save mode, the machine does not feed paper from the manual feeder. Wake up the machine by pressing the power button before
using the manual feeder.

your printer system. The following section is a general overview of
considerations while operating a wireless device.
Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in
the specific country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in
your system are only qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio
Approval Marks on the system rating label. If the country you will be using the
wireless device in, is not listed, contact your local Radio Approval agency for
requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use may not be
allowed.

No limitations at this time

5. Appendix

136

Regulatory information
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in
your printer is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because
the wireless devices (which may be embedded into your printer) emit less
energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety standards and
recommendations, manufacturer believes these devices are safe for use.
Regardless of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact
during normal operation.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8 inches) between the wireless
device and the body, for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not
include extremities) is typical. This device should be used more than 20 cm (8
inches) from the body when wireless devices are on and transmitting.
This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of
common restrictions are listed below:
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with
equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation regulations
require wireless devices to be turned off while traveling in an airplane.
IEEE 802.11 (also known as wireless Ethernet) and Bluetooth
communication devices are examples of devices that provide wireless
communication.

In environments where the risk of interference to other devices or
services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the option to use a wireless
device may be restricted or eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and
Oxygen or flammable gas laden atmospheres are limited examples
where use of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When in
environments where you are uncertain of the sanction to use wireless
devices, ask the applicable authority for authorization prior to use or
turning on the wireless device.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices.
Since your system is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling
between countries with your system, check with the local Radio
Approval authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on
the use of a wireless device in the destination country.
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded wireless
device, do not operate the wireless device unless all covers and shields
are in place and the system is fully assembled.
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify them in any
way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to
use it. Contact manufacturer for service.
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be
used. See the manufacturer System Restoration Kit, or contact
manufacturer Technical Support for additional information.

• If the IPv6 network seems to not be working, set all the network settings
to the factory defaults and try again using Clear Setting.

Wireless network name and network password
Wireless networks require higher security, so when an access point is first set up,
a network name (SSID), the type of security used, and a Network Password are
created for the network. Ask your network administrator about this information
before proceeding with the machine installation.

Getting started

Understanding your network type
Typically, you can only have one connection between your computer and the
machine at a time.
Infrastructure mode
This is an environment generally used for homes and SOHOs
(Small Office/ Home Office). This mode uses an access point to
communicate with the wireless machine.
Ad hoc mode
This mode does not use an access point. The wireless
computer and wireless machine communicate directly.

Wireless network setup
Connect to a network printer. Then reconnect the IP address.

•

Check the wireless reception around the machine. If the router is far from
the machine or there is an obstacle, you might have difficulty receiving the
signal.

•

Cycle the power for the access point (or wireless router), machine, and
computer. Sometimes cycling the power can recover network
communication.

•

Check whether firewall software (V3 or Norton) is blocking the
communication.

For a Static network environment
The machine uses the static address when the computer is configured
to static address.
For example,
If the computer’s network information is as shown below:
▪

IP address: 169.254.133.42

▪

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0

If the computer and the machine are connected on the same network and it
cannot be found when searching, firewall software might be blocking the
communication. Refer to the user's guide for the software to turn it off and
try searching for the machine again.

Then the machine’s network information should be as below:
▪

IP address: 169.254.133.43

▪

Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 (Use the computer’s subnet mask.)

▪

Gateway: 169.254.133.1

•

Check whether the machine's IP address is allocated correctly. You can
check the IP address by printing the network configuration report.

•

Check whether the access point (or wireless router) has a configured
security (password). If it has a password, refer to the access point (or wireless
router) administrator.

•

Check the machine's IP address. Reinstall the machine driver and change the
settings to connect to the machine on the network. Due to the
characteristics of DHCP, the allocated IP address could change if the
machine is not used for a long time or if the access point has been reset.

Other problems
If problems occur while using the machine on a network, check the following:

For information on the access point (or wireless router), refer to its own
user's guide.

•

You cannot enable wired and wireless networks at the same time.

•

Your computer, access point (or wireless router), or machine may not be
turned on.

Register the product's MAC address when you configure the DHCP server on
the access point (or wireless router). Then you can always use the IP address
that is set with the MAC address. You can identify the MAC address of your
machine by printing a network configuration report (see "Printing a network
configuration report" on page 150).

Overlaya

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 letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing
exactly the 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 machine: just print the letterhead overlay on your document.
To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image.

• The overlay document size must be the same as the document you print with the overlay. Do not create an overlay with a watermark.
• The resolution of the overlay document must be the same as that of the document you will print with the overlay.
