SPECIFICATIONS
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be
at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.
Remember that paper absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the
moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to
condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners
remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened
and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.
Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to
increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs
any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as
paper loses and gains moisture it can distort. This can cause
paper jams.
As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as
the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental
conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be
easily used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for
long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes,
which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent
damage to a large supply of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several
months before use. Opened packages of paper have more
potential for environment damage, especially if they are not
wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained
to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition
is 20 ° to 24 °C (68° to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of
45 % to 55 %. The following guidelines should be helpful when
evaluating the paper’s storage environment:
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid (due to the
hygroscopic properties of paper).
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it
tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer
environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount
of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent
unwanted moisture changes.

Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary
considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within
a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on
envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m
2
(24 lb) or jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with
less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl, and should not contain air.
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or
otherwise damaged.
• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible
with the heat and pressure of the printer.
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size
ranges.

Notes:
• Use only the Multi-Purpose Tray to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any
media with a length less than 148 mm (5.83 in.). This may
be caused by paper that has been af fected by
environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make
sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly.
Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage Environment”
on page A.6.

Envelopes
A.7
SPECIFICATIONS
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends
of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be
more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to
the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Envelopes with
Double Side Seams
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one
flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with
the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips
might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even
damage the fuser.

Adhesive Strips or
Flaps
The following gives typical address margins for a commercial
#10 or DL envelope.
Envelope Margins
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope,
creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during
printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.12.

SPECIFICATIONS
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing
between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces
between the labels, causing serious jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than
13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other
indications of separation.
See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.14.
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.15.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only
transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
CAUTIONS:
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels
recommended for laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-Purpose Tray
to print labels and always use the rear output tray.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once
and never print on a partial sheet of labels.

Frequently Asked Questions About USB
Q
Q
Q
Q
What is USB?
How can I determine if my computer’s USB port is enabled?
A
A
Universal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices to
your computer without having to open your PC. USB uses a
standard port and plug combination for connecting devices like
printers, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offers
the benefit of being able to easily add, remove, and move
devices.
Because USB is a relatively new technology, we recommended
using a parallel printing connection. However, USB is an option
to customers who want to print from Windows 98, Macintosh
using a USB cable. If your computer’s USB port is enabled and
properly setup, you can connect your printer to it or to a chain
of USB devices via a USB cable.
11
In Windows 98, select Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel.
22
Double-click the System icon.
33
Click the Device Manager tab.
44
Click the plus (+) icon before the Universal Serial Bus
Controller item.
If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, USB
is properly enabled. If you have multiple hubs on the USB chain,
try connecting your printer to a different hub or to another USB
device. Also, make sure the cable connections are firm. (USB
hubs are hardware devices into which you can plug multiple USB
cables.)
If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computer’s
documentation or contact the manufacturer for more
information on enabling and setting up USB. Remember, you can
always use a parallel cable to connect your printer’s parallel port
to your computer. (If you decide to switch to a parallel cable
connection, you may need to remove and reinstall the printer
software.)

Q
Q
Q
Can other users on my USB chain print to my ML-1650 series
printer?
Yes. Windows 98 allows you to “share” your printer using
software settings on your computer. After others on the USB
chain have installed the printer software for your specific printer,
they can print to your shared printer.
After I install my printer, why isn’t my ML-1650 series printer
assigned to an LPT printer port in the Print dialog box of my
software application?
USB uses a different naming convention for USB devices. After
the printer has been installed, you see SSUSB:(your printer
name) instead of LPT.
How can I increase printing speed and quality?
When operated on a USB chain, your printer may become
slower if other USB devices are being used while you’re printing.
For optimal print performance, avoid using other devices in the
USB chain while printing.

About Remote Control Panel for DOS
DOS users have access to many printer features through
specific DOS printer drivers; however, many software
manufactures do not develop printer drivers for their software
programs. The Samsung ML-1650 series printer provides the
DOS software control panel for improved printer control when
DOS printer drivers are not available or when certain print
settings are not available through DOS software programs.
Notes:
• ML-1650 series printer’s Remote Control Panel for DOS can be
used when the printer is connected via the parallel interface.
• The ML-1650 series printer’s Remote Control Panel is not a
printer driver. It should be used to set print settings that are not
available through DOS software programs. Printer drivers are
supplied by the manufacturers of your DOS sof tware programs.
If your DOS sof tware program does not include a printer driver
for your Samsung printer, contact the manufacturer of the
software program or use one of the alternate printer drivers.

CONFIG
• Power Save determines the length of time the printer waits
after a job is printed before it goes to a reduced power state. If
the printer is used frequently, select OFF which keeps the
printer ready to print with the minimum warm-up time. This
uses more electricity to keep the printer warm and ready to
print.
• Econo Mode determines the toner quantity the printer should
use when printing. If set to ON, the printer conserves toner
when printing. The default value is OFF, which provides 100%
usage.
• Auto Continue determines what action the printer should take
when a manual feed print job is sent to the printer and there is
no paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. If set to ON, the printer will
pick up the paper from the standard Tray 1 or optional Tray 2
after fifteen seconds. Otherwise, the printer will wait for you to
load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray.
• Jam Recovery determines what action the printer should take
when a paper jam occurs. When set to OFF, the printer does
not reprint a page that has jammed. When set to ON, the
printer keeps the image in memory for a printed page until the
printer signals that the page has successfully printed. The
printer reprints all jammed pages.
JOB
• Timeout determines the amount of time (in seconds) the
printer will wait before printing the last page of a print job that
does not end with a command to print the page or a formfeed
character. Valid range is 0 to 300 seconds.
• Paper Type provides the printer with information about the
type of paper to be used for a print job. For the best result, set
this to the paper type you loaded in the paper tray in the
printer. When using the plain paper, set this to Default.
• SRT Mode makes the printer optimize the print quality to 1200
dpi image quality.

TEST
• Configuration Page prints the configuration sheet. A list of
the user default settings, the installed options, and the amount
of printer memory available prints.
• Demonstration Page prints the demonstration page. It shows
the printer features and specifications.
PCL5e
• Typeface allows you to select the desired typeface. This
setting is ignored when the software application specifies a
font.
• Symbol Set determines the symbol set. A symbol set is a set
of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special
symbols used when printing with a selected font.
• Pitch sets the font pitch (only if you have selected a scalable
monospaced font). Pitch refers to the number of fixed-space
characters in a horizontal inch of type.
• Lines Per Page sets the number of lines that print on each
page. The setting can range from 5 to 128 lines per page.
• Point Size sets the font point size (only if you have selected a
scalable typographic font). Point size refers to the height of the
characters in the font. One point equals approximately 1/72 of
an inch. You can select point sizes from 4.0 to 999.75 in
increments of 0.25 points.
• Courier determines the courier font type: Regular or Dark.
• Font List prints the font list showing all the fonts available for
PCL emulation.
PS3
• Font List prints the font list showing all the fonts available for
PostScript (only available when the PostScript option is
installed).
• PS Error determines what action the printer should take when
an error occurs in PS interpreter. When set to OFF, the printer
does not print error information when error occurs in PS
interpreter. When set to ON, the printer prints error
information when error occurs in PS interpreter.
