chapter This chapter will help you understand what kind of paperyou can use with the Samsung ML-1200 Series printer andhow to properly load paper in the different paper inputtrays for the best print quality.Topics included in this chapter are:◆ Choosing Paper and Other Media◆ Selecting the Output Location◆ Loading Paper◆ Printing on Envelopes◆ Printing on Heavy Paper◆ Printing on Labels◆ Printing on Transparencies◆ Printing on Preprinted Paper◆ Printing on Card Stocks44
PRINT MEDIA4.1Choosing Paper and Other MediaYou can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper,envelopes, labels, transparencies, card stocks, and so on. See“Paper Specification” on page A.2. To get the best possibleprint quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.When you choose print media, consider the followings:• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should beappropriate for the project.• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within thepaper adjusters of the paper tray.• Weight : Your printer supports paper weight as follows:• 16~24 lbs bond for the automatic input tray• 16~43 lbs bond for the manual input tray• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others andproduce sharper, more vibrant images. • Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affectshow crisp the printing looks on the paper.Always test a sample of paper before purchasing largequantities.CAUTION:Using media that does not confirm to thespecification listed in the paper specification can causeproblems that may require service. This service is not coveredby the warranty or service agreements.

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other specialmedia, keep these guidelines in your mind:• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn papercan 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 thathas been fed through a photocopier.• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs orstaples.• Do not attempt to load any tray during printing and neveroverfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, ortexture that is too smooth or too rough.• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as whitephotocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’sfusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second withoutdeterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating thatwas added after the paper was produced.• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-resistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or releasehazardous emissions when subject to the printer’sapproximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1second.• Store paper in its ream wrapper until ready to use. Placecartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. • Do not place heavy objects on top of the paper, whether itis packaged or unpackaged. • Keep paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or otherconditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.PRINT MEDIA4.3Choosing Paper and Other MediaPaper Guidelines
PRINT MEDIA4.4Selecting the Output LocationThe printer has two output locations: the face-up output slot and the face-down outputtray. You can select the output location by changing the position of the output lever on thefront of the printer. To use the face-down output tray, be sure the output lever is in upper(normal) position. To use the face-up output slot, push it down to open the slot.• If paper coming out of the face-down output tray has problems, such as excessive curl, tryprinting to the face-up output slot.• To avoid paper jams, do not change the position of the output lever while the printer isprinting.The face-down output tray collects paperface-down, in correct order. Makesure that the output lever is in the upperposition. (If not, push it up)The face-down output tray should beused for most print jobs and isrecommended for printing over 100sheets of paper, continuously.The printer prints to the face-up outputslot if it is open. Push the output leverdown to open the slot. Paper comes outof the printer face-up.Using the face-up output slot mightimprove output quality with the following:• envelopes• labels• paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m2)Printing to the Face-Down Output TrayPrinting to the Face-Up Output Slot
PRINT MEDIA4.5Loading PaperThe automatic input tray holds 150 sheets of plain paper and5 sheets of special media. See “Media Sizes and Capacities” onpage 4.2 for acceptable paper size and capacities for eachinput trays.Load a stack of paper into the automatic input tray and print.For details on loading paper in the automatic input tray, see“Load Paper” on page 2.4.Note: Before using the automatic input tray, you must removepaper from the manual input tray.Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensuretrouble-free printing. Do not remove paper from the tray(s)while a job is printing. Doing so may cause a paper jam. Using the Automatic Input TrayWhen you change the print settings, if you select Manual in the Paper Source option, youcan manually load paper in the manual input tray. Manually loading paper can be helpfulwhen you want to check the print quality after each page is printed. If you experience a paper jam from the automatic input tray,load a sheet of paper at a timeinto the manual input tray.Note: To avoid a paper jam, use the manual tray with the automatic input tray loaded with paper.Using the Manual Input Tray1Load the print media in the manualinput tray with the print side up.Adjust the paper guide against thestack of print media without bending.
PRINT MEDIA4.6Loading Paper4Print the document.3When you print a document, you mustselect Manual for Paper Source fromthe software application, and thenselect the correct paper size and type.For details, see page 5.3.5If you are printing multiple pages, loadnext sheet after the first page printsout.6Press Demo to start feeding.Notes:• The face-up output slot may not hold the printed pages properly.• The printed pages will not stack in the face-down output tray unless you change output leverposition. After you finish using the face-up output slot, you must change the position of theoutput lever to the normal position. Push it up.2Push the output lever down to open theface-up output slot.
PRINT MEDIA4.7Printing on EnvelopesGuidelines• Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before you load envelopes in theinput tray, make sure that they are undamaged and are not stuck together. • Do not feed stamped envelopes.• Never use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, or self-stick adhesives.These envelopes may severely damage the printer.2Load the envelopes into the input trayyou want to use with the flap sidedown. The stamp area is on the right sideand the end of the envelope with thestamp area enters the tray first.1Flex or fanthe envelopes to supply airthrough them for loading.3Adjust the guide to the edge of theenvelope stack.

PRINT MEDIA4.9Printing on Heavy PaperGuidelines• Heavy paper is any paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m2). For cotton papers, you can use24 lb paper. The maximum paper weight available for your printer is 43 lb (163g/m2).• Do not use extremely heavy paper stock (greater than 43 lb, or 163 g/m2 bond).Misfeeds, mis-stacking, media jams, poor toner fusing, poor print quality, and excessivemechanical wear can result.2Push the output lever down.1Load paper in the input tray you wantto use with print side up. Adjust the guide to fit the width of thelabels.3When you print on heavy paper, selectBond in the Paper Type section, andthen configure the paper source, andsize in the software application. Fordetails, see page 5.3.
PRINT MEDIA4.10Printing on LabelsGuidelines• Only use labels recommended for laser printers.• 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 areascan cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposedadhesive can also cause damage to printer components.• Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backingis designed for one pass through the printer.• Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, orotherwise damaged.2Push the output lever down.1 Load labels in the input tray you wantto use with print side up. Adjust the guide to fit the width of thelabels.3When you print on labels, configure thepaper source, type and size in thesoftware application. For details, seepage 5.3.Note: To prevent them from stickingtogether, do not let the printed labelsheets stack up as they are printed out.
PRINT MEDIA4.11Printing on TransparenciesGuidelines• Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.• Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not haveany torn edge.• Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from yourfingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems.• Be careful not to scratch or leave fingerprints on the print side.1Load transparencies in the input trayyou want to use with print side up,and the top with the adhesive stripgoing first. Adjust the guide to fit the width of thetransparencies.3When you print on transparencies,configure the paper source, type andsize in the software application. Fordetails, see page 5.3.Notes:• To prevent transparencies from stickingtogether, do not let the printed sheets stackup as they are printed out.• Place transparencies on a flat surface afterremoving them from the printer.2Push the output lever down.
PRINT MEDIA4.12Printing on Preprinted Paper1Load letter-heads into the input tray you want to use with the design faceup, bottom edge toward theprinter. Adjust the guide to fit the width of thepaper stack. 2When you print on the preprintedpaper, configure the paper source, typeand size in the software application. Fordetails, see page 5.3.Preprinted paper is a form with some type of printing on them before they are sent throughthe printer, such as a letterhead having 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, orrelease hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F(205°C) for 0.1 second.• Ink on letterhead must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect any printerrollers.• Forms and letterheads should be sealed in a moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changesduring storage.• Before you load preprinted paper as forms and letterheads, verify that the ink on thepaper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper.
PRINT MEDIAPrinting on Card Stocks2Push the output lever down.1Load print media in the input tray youwant to use with print side up, shortedge first . Adjust the guide to fit the width of themedia.3Configure the paper source, type in theprinter driver’s properties (see page5.3) and print.Postcards, 3 by 5 in.(index) cards can be printed with the Samsung ML-1200 Series printer. Guidelines• Always insert the short-edge first into the input tray. If you want to print in landscapemode, make this selection through your software. Inserting paper long-edge first maycause a paper jam.• Do not print on the card stocks that is too small or too large. The minimum size is 76 by127 mm (3 by 5 in.) for the manual input tray and 95 by 127 mm (3.8 by 5 in.) for theautomatic input tray, and the maximum size is 216 by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.).• Set margins at least 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) away from the edges of the media in the softwareapplication.4.13
