2. Learning the Basic Usage
Labels
To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser
printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following factors:
-Adhesives: Should be stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.
Check your machine’s specifications to view the fusing temperature
(about 170°C (338°F)).
-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: Must lie flat with no more than \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.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled,
bubbled, or otherwise damaged.
Card stock/ Custom-sized paper
• In the software application, set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away
from the edges of the material.
Media and tray
32
2. Learning the Basic Usage
Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up with an
uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with paper feeding, turn
the paper around. Note that print quality is not guaranteed.
• Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or
release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing
temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C (338°F)).
• Preprinted paper ink must be non-flammable and should not adversely
affect machine rollers.
• Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper is dry.
During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper, reducing
print quality.
4
Setting the paper size and type
After loading paper in the paper tray, set the paper size and type.
Open the Printing Preferences (see "Opening printing preferences" on page
34) and set the paper size and type in the Paper tab.
If you want to use special-sized paper such as billing paper, select Custom
in the Paper tab in the Printing Preferences (see "Opening printing
preferences" on page 34).

Result simulator
Result Simulator shows the results of reduced emission of carbon dioxide, used
electricity, and the amount of saved paper in accordance with the settings you
selected.
• The results are calculated on the basis that the total number of printed
paper is one hundred without a blank page when the Eco mode is disabled.
• Refers to the calculation coefficient about CO2, energy, and paper from IEA,
the index of Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication of Japan and
www.remanufacturing.org.uk. Each model has a different index.
• The power consumption in printing mode refers to the average printing
power consumption of this machine.
• The actual amount displayed is only an estimate as the actual amount may
differ depending on the operating system used, computing performance,
application software, connection method, media type [thickness], media
size, job complexity, etc.

Storing the toner cartridge
Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these recommendations to ensure
optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.
Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used. This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions. The toner cartridge
should remain in its original and unopened package until installation – if original packaging is not available, cover the top opening of the cartridge with paper and
store in a dark cabinet.
Opening the cartridge package prior to use dramatically shortens its useful shelf and operating life. Do not store on the floor. If the toner cartridge is removed from
the printer, follow the instructions below to store the toner cartridge properly.
• Store the cartridge inside the protective bag from the original package.
• Store lying flat (not standing on end) with the same side facing up as if it were installed in the machine.
• Do not store consumables in any of the following conditions:
- Temperature greater than 40°C (104°F).
- Humidity range less than 20% and greater than 80%.
- An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
- Direct sunlight or room light.
- Dusty places.
- A car for a long period of time.
- An environment where corrosive gases are present.
- An environment with salty air.

Handling instructions
• Do not touch the surface of the photoconductive drum in the cartridge.
• Do not expose the cartridge to unnecessary vibrations or shock.
• Never manually rotate the drum, especially in the reverse direction; this can
cause internal damage and toner spillage.

Toner cartridge usage
Samsung Electronics does not recommend or approve the use of non-Samsung
brand toner cartridges in your printer including generic, store brand, refilled, or
remanufactured toner cartridges.
Samsung’s printer warranty does not cover damage to the machine caused
by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or non-Samsung brand toner
cartridges.

Estimated cartridge life
Estimated cartridge life the life of the toner cartridge (or imaging unit) yield
depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. The actual print yield
may vary depending on the print density of the pages you print on, operating
environment, percentage of image area, printing interval, media type and/or
media size. For example, if you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the
toner is higher and you may need to change the cartridge more often.
45
3. Maintenance
Redistributing toner
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life:
• White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side.
• The Toner LED blinks orange.
If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks or light printing will still
occur even after you have redistributed the toner.
• Before opening the top cover, close the output support first.
• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
• Printing even after the toner empty status can cause serious damage to your machine.
