U SING C ONTROL PANEL 3.3 chapter This chapter will help you to understand what kind of paper you can use with the Samsung ML-1250 printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper input trays 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 Stock or Custom-sized Media Choosing Paper and Other Media You 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 possible print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper. When you choose print media, consider the following: • Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be appropriate for the project. • Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the paper 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 and produce sharper, more vibrant images. • Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp the printing looks on the paper. Always test a sample of paper before purchasing large quantities. CAUTION: Using media that does not conform to the specification listed in the paper specification can cause problems that may require service. This service is not covered by the warranty or service agreements.

B5 (182 x 257 mm) * Depending on paper thickness, maximum capacity may be reduced. 4.2 P RINT M EDIA Choosing Paper and Other Media Paper Guidelines When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special media, keep these guidelines in your mind: • Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can 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 that has been fed through a photocopier. • Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples. • Do not attempt to load any tray during printing and never overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam. • Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or texture that is too smooth or too rough. • Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white photocopy paper. The pigments must withstand the printer’s fusing temperature of 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second without deterioration. Do not use paper with a colored coating that was added after the paper was produced. • Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heatresistant inks that do not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s approximately 400°F (205°C) fusing temperature for 0.1 second. • Store paper in its ream wrapper until 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl. P RINT M EDIA 4.3 Selecting the Output Location The printer has two output locations: the face-up output slot and the face-down output tray. You can select the output location by changing the position of the output lever on the front 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, try printing to the face-up output slot. • To avoid paper jams, do not change the position of the output lever while the printer is printing. Printing to the Face-Down Output Tray The face-down output tray collects paper face-down, in correct order. Make sure that the output lever is in the upper position. (If not, push it up) The face-down output tray should be used for most print jobs and is recommended for printing over 100 sheets of paper, continuously. Printing to the Face-Up Output Slot The printer prints to the face-up output slot if it is open. Push the output lever down to open the slot. Paper comes out of the printer face-up. Using the face-up output slot might improve output quality with the following: • envelopes • labels • paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m2) 4.4 P RINT M EDIA Loading Paper Proper paper loading helps to prevent paper jams and ensure trouble-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 Tray The automatic input tray holds 150 sheets of plain paper and 5 sheets of special media. See “Media Sizes and Capacities” on page 4.2 for acceptable paper size and capacities for each input tray. 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 remove paper from the manual input tray. Using the Manual Input Tray When you change the print settings, if you select Manual Feeder in the Paper Source option, you can manually load paper in the manual input tray. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed. If you experience a paper jam from the automatic input tray, load one sheet of paper at a time into the manual input tray. Note: To avoid a paper jam, use the manual tray with the automatic input tray loaded with paper. Load the print media in the manual input tray with the print side up. Adjust the paper guide against the stack of print media without bending. P RINT M EDIA 4.5 Loading Paper Push the output lever down to open the face-up output slot. When you print a document, you must select Manual Feeder for Paper Source from the software application, and then select the correct paper size and type. For details, see page 5.3. Print the document. If you are printing multiple pages, load the next sheet after the first page prints out. Press 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 lever position. After you finish using the face-up output slot, you must change the position of the output lever to the normal position. Push it up. 4.6 P RINT M EDIA Printing on Envelopes Guidelines • Only use envelopes recommended for laser printers. Before you load envelopes in the input tray, make sure that they are undamaged and that they 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. Flex or fan the envelopes to prepare them for loading. Load the envelopes into the input tray you want to use with the flap side down. The stamp area is on the right side and the end of the envelope with the stamp area enters the tray first. Adjust the guide to the edge of the envelope stack. P RINT M EDIA 4.7 Printing on Envelopes Push the output lever down. When you print on envelopes, configure the paper source, type and size properly in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. Print the document. After printing, push the output lever up. 4.8 P RINT M EDIA Printing on Heavy Paper Guidelines • Heavy paper is any paper heavier than 24 lb (90 g/m2). For cotton papers, you can use 24 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 excessive mechanical wear can result. Load paper in the input tray you want to use with print side up. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the labels. Push the output lever down. When you print on heavy paper, select Bond in the Paper Type section, and then configure the paper source, and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. P RINT M EDIA 4.9 Printing on Labels Guidelines • 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 areas can cause labels to peel off during printing, which can cause paper jams. Exposed adhesive can also cause damage to printer components. • Do not feed a sheet of labels through the printer more than once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass through the printer. • Do not use labels that are separating from the backing sheet or that are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged. Load labels in the input tray you want to use with print side up. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the labels. Push the output lever down. When you print on labels, configure the paper source, type and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. Note: To prevent them from sticking together, do not let the printed label sheets stack up as they are printed out. 4.10 P RINT M EDIA Printing on Transparencies Guidelines • Only use transparencies recommended for use in laser printers. • Make sure that the transparencies are not wrinkled or curled, and that they do not have any torn edge. • Hold the transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers that are deposited on the transparency can cause print quality problems. • Be careful not to scratch the printer side or leave fingerprints on it. Load the transparencies in the desired input tray with the print side up and the adhesive strip entering the printer first. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the transparencies. Push the output lever down. When you print on transparencies, configure the paper source, type and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. Notes: • To prevent transparencies from sticking together, do not let the printed sheets stack up as they are printed out. • Place transparencies on a flat surface after removing them from the printer. P RINT M EDIA 4.11 Printing on Preprinted Paper Preprinted paper is paper that has some type of printing placed on it before it is sent through the printer (paper that has a preprinted logo at the top of the page, for example). Guidelines • 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 400°F (205°C) for 0.1 second. • Ink on letterhead 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 such as forms and letterheads, verify that the ink on the paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted paper. Load letter-heads into the input tray you want to use with the design face up, and the bottom edge toward the printer. Adjust the guide to fit the width of the paper stack. When you print on the preprinted paper, configure the paper source, type and size in the software application. For details, see page 5.3. 4.12 P RINT M EDIA Printing on Card Stock or Custom-sized Media Postcards, 3 by 5 in.(index) cards and other custom-sized media can be printed with the ML-1250 printer. Guidelines • Always insert the short edge into the input 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 card stocks that is too small or too large. The minimum size is 76 by 127 mm (3 by 5 in.) for the manual input tray and 95 by 127 mm (3.8 by 5 in.) for the automatic 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 software application. Load print media in the input tray you want to use with the print side up, and the short edge first . Adjust the guide to fit the width of the media. Push the output lever down. Configure the paper source, type in the printer driver’s properties (see page 5.3) and print. Note: If the size of your print media is not listed in the Paper Size box in the Paper tab of the printer driver properties, select Custom Size and set the paper size manually.

Note: When 600 dpi is selected in the Resolution section, selecting Text Enhance or Image Enhance gives you an image quality of 1200 dpi class . • Printer Default - This is determined by the setting on the printer. • Normal - SRT mode is disabled. Choose this setting if graphics, particularly scanned images, are not printing clearly. • Text Enhance - This setting refines the print quality of characters by smoothing out jagged edges that can occur on the angles and curves of each character. • Image Enhance - This setting refines the print quality of a photo image using SRT. 5.12 P RINTING TASKS Setting Graphic Properties Graphic Mode Configure the printer to process graphics as raster or vector images. Setting this option tells Windows how to send graphic images to the printer. All graphics can be printed as raster images, however some geometric shapes or patterns print faster if they are printed as vector graphics. • Vector – The Vector mode represents a graphic as point, lines and other geometric entities. If you select the Vector setting, Windows will send graphics to the printer as a mixture of vector and raster images. • Raster – The Raster mode represents a graphic as a mix of dots. When you select the Raster setting, Windows will send all graphics to the printer as bit map raster images. Note: Not all graphic images can print using the Vector setting. If you are using the Vector setting, and your graphic images do not print as they appear on your computer screen, select the Raster setting and reprint your graphic. Halftoning This option can be used for configuring the halftone of the printed illustration. The best way to choose a Halftoning setting for your graphic image is to experiment. Print a graphic image at each setting and choose the one you like best. • Device - Choose this setting to allow the printer to determine a halftoning setting. What is Halftone? Gray-scale objects (such as photographs) whose gray dots have been converted to a pattern of groups of black dots. These groups, which are of various sizes, along with the white dots (pixels turned off), create illusions of gray shading: larger groups make the image appear black or dark gray, while smaller groups make the image appear light gray. • Fine - Choose this setting when you want printed images to have a smooth, realistic, and photographic appearance. This setting provides soft contrasts between various shades of gray. This setting also works well for images originally designed with color. • Coarse - Choose this setting if your graphic images were originally scanned in through a scanner. • Line art - Choose this setting for graphic images with intricate lines and fine detail, like clip art graphics. This setting provides solid lines and sharp contrasts between shaded areas. P RINTING TASKS 5.13 Printing Watermarks The Watermark option allows you to print text over an existing document. For example, you may want to have large gray letters reading “Draft” or “Confidential” printed diagonally across the first page or all pages of a document.

Dear ABC Regards An overlay is text and/or images stored in the computer HDD as a special file format that can be printed on any document you choose. Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using preprinted letterhead, for example, you can create an overlay containing the exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. Then when you want 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. WORLD BEST Creating a New Page Overlay To use a page overlay, you must create a new page overlay containing your logo or image. 1 Create or open a document containing a text or image you want to use for page overlay. Position the items exactly as you wish them to appear when printed as an overlay. If needed, save the file for later use. 2 Select Print from the File menu.
