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 115).

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 115).
• 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 41).
• 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.

Regulatory compliance statements

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.

Wireless guidance

This transmitter must not be collocated or operation in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.

Low power, Radio LAN devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication
devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz/5 GHz Band, may be present (embedded) in
your printer system. The following section is a general overview of
considerations while operating a wireless device.

Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices. Examples of
common restrictions are listed below:

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.

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.

5. Appendix

133

Regulatory information
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.

Wireless network setup
-

For a Static network environment

•

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.

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

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

Other problems

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.
•

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.

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 10).

2. Using a Network-Connected Machine

Wireless network setup
•

Check the wireless environment. You might not be able to connect to the
network in the infrastructure environment where you need to type in a
user's information before connecting to the access point (or wireless router).

•

This machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi. Other wireless
communication types (e.g., Bluetooth) are not supported.

•

When using the ad hoc mode, in operating systems such as Windows Vista,
you might need to set the wireless connection setting every time you use
the wireless machine.

•

You cannot use infrastructure mode and ad hoc mode at the same time for
Samsung wireless network machines.

•

The machine is within the range of the wireless network.

•

The machine is located away from obstacles that could block the wireless
signal.

•

If Wi-Fi Direct is ON, this machine only supports IEEE 802.11 b/g.

•

If the access point is set to work with the 802.11n standard only, it may not
connect to your machine.

Remove any large metal objects between the access point (or wireless
router) and the machine.
Make sure the machine and wireless access point (or wireless router) are not
separated by poles, walls, or support columns containing metal or concrete.
•

The machine is located away from other electronic devices that may
interfere with the wireless signal.
Many devices can interfere with the wireless signal, including a microwave
oven and some Bluetooth devices.

•

Whenever the configuration of your access point (or wireless router)
changes, you must do the devices wireless network setup again.

•

The maximum number of device that can be connected via Wi-Fi Direct is 3.

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.
