2PAPER HANDLING

This chapter introduces you to the basics of selecting

print materials and loading them into your machine.

This chapter includes:

• Selecting Print Materials

• Selecting an Output Location

• Loading Paper in the Paper Tray

• Using the Manual Feeder

P

APER

H

ANDLING

2.2

Selecting Print Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain paper,

envelopes, labels, transparencies, and so on. Always use print

materials that meet the guidelines for use with this machine.

See “Paper Specifications” on page A.5. To get the best possible

print quality, use only high-quality copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be

appropriate for your project.

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the

paper adjusters of the paper tray.

• Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:

- 16 ~ 24 lbs (60 ~ 90 g/m

2

) bond for the paper tray

- 16 ~ 43 lbs (60 ~ 163 g/m

2

) bond for the manual feeder

• 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.

C

AUTION

: Using print materials that does not conform to the

specifications listed “Paper Specifications” on page A.5 may

cause problems that may require service. This service is not

covered by the warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for Paper and Special Materials

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special

material, keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use paper and other materials that conform with the

specifications listed under “Paper Specifications” on page A.5.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper

can cause paper jams and the poor print quality.

• Use only high quality copier grade paper for the best print

quality.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a

texture that is too smooth or too rough. Paper jams may

occur.

• Store paper in its ream wrapper until you are 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 it away from moisture, or

other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused materials at temperatures between 15

o

C and

30

o

C (59

o

F to 86

o

F). The relative humidity should be

between 10 % and 70 %.

• During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as

any plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture

from contaminating your paper.

• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.

• Only use materials specifically recommended for use in laser

printers.

• To prevent special materials, such as transparencies and

label sheets from sticking together, remove them as they

prints out.

•For envelopes:

- Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp, well

creased folds.

- Do not use envelopes with clasps and snaps.

- Do not use envelopes with windows, coated lining, self-

adhesive seals, or other synthetic materials.

- Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes.

• For transparencies:

- Place them on a flat surface after removing them from the

machine.

- Do not leave them in the paper tray for long periods of time.

Dust and dirt may accumulate on them resulting in spotty

printing.

P

APER

H

ANDLING

2.4

- To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints, handle them and

coated paper carefully.

- To avoid fading, do not expose the printed transparencies to

prolonged sunlight.

•For labels:

- Verify that their adhesive material can tolerate fusing

temperature of 208

o

C (406.4

o

F) for 0.1 second.

- Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive material

between them. 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 load a sheet of them through the machine more than

once. The adhesive backing is designed for one pass

through the machine.

- Do not use labels that are separating from the backing

sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or otherwise damaged.

• Do not use

Carbonless

paper and

Tracing

paper. Use of

these types of paper could result in chemical smells and could

damage your printer.

Selecting an Output Location

The machine has two output locations; the rear output slot (face

up) and the front output tray (face down).

To use the front output tray, make sure that the rear cover is

closed. To use the rear output slot, open the rear cover.

N

OTES

:

• If paper coming out of the front output tray has problems, such

as excessive curl, try printing to the rear output slot.

• To avoid paper jams, do not open or close the rear cover while

the machine is printing.

P

APER

H

ANDLING

2.5

2

Printing to the Front Output Tray

(Face down)

The front output tray collects printed paper face-down in the

order in which it was printed. The tray should be used for most

print jobs.

If you use paper which is not long enough to reach the front

output tray, use the jam cover.

To u se the jam c over :

1

Lift the jam cover. A tab automatically springs up to

support the cover.

2

Take the paper out manually.

Close the jam cover. In order to close the cover, push the

tab to the left and hold it down. Then lower the cover

carefully until the cover is holding down the tab. Then you

can move your hand and finish lowering the cover.

Be careful not to pinch your fingers!

N

OTE

:

• If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the output

tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and

especially keep children away from the surface.

• The front output tray can hold up to 50 sheets of paper. Remove

the pages so that the tray is not overloaded.

Printing to the Rear Output Slot

(Face up)

Using the rear output slot, paper comes out of the machine face

up.

Printing from the manual feeder to the rear output slot provides

a

straight paper path

. Using the rear output slot might

improve the output quality with the following:

• envelopes • labels

• small custom-sized paper • postcards

• transparencies

Paper” on page 1.8.

N

OTES

:

• If you experience problems with paper feed, place the paper in

the manual feeder.

• You can load previously printed paper. The printed side should

be facing up with an uncurled edge on top. If you experience

problems with paper feed, turn the paper around. Note that the

print quality is not guaranteed.

Using the Manual Feeder

Use the manual feeder to print transparencies, labels, envelopes

or postcards in addition to making quick runs of paper types or

sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray.

Postcards, 3.5 by 5.83 in.(index) cards and other custom-sized

materials can be printed with this printer. The minimum size is

76 by 127 mm (3.0 by 5.0 in.) and the maximum size is 216 by

356 mm (8.5 by 14 in.).

Acceptable print materials are plain paper with sizes ranging

Using Overlays

What is an Overlay?

An overlay is text and/or images stored on the computer hard

disk drive (HDD) as a special file format that can be printed on

any document. Overlays are often used to take the place of pre-

printed forms and letterhead paper. Rather than using

preprinted letterhead, you can create an overlay containing the

exact same information that is currently on your letterhead. To

print a letter with your company’s letterhead, you need only tell

the machine to print the letterhead overlay on your document.

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 text or an image for

use in a new 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

To change the print settings from your software

application, access the printer’s Properties. See page 3.2.

Getting Started

The supplied CD-ROM provides you with Samsung’s MFP driver

package for using your machine with a Linux computer.

Samsung’s MFP driver package contains printer and scanner

drivers, providing the ability to print documents and scan

images. The package also delivers powerful applications for

configuring your machine and further processing of the scanned

documents.

After the driver is installed on your Linux system, the driver

package allows you to monitor a number of MFP devices. The

acquired documents can then be edited, printed on the same

local MFP or network printers, sent by e-mail, uploaded to a FTP

site or transferred to an external OCR system.

The MFP driver package is supplied with a smart and flexible

installation program. You don't need to search for additional

components that might be necessary for the MFP software: all

required packages will be carried onto your system and installed

automatically; this is possible on a wide set of the most popular

Linux clones.

Using the MFP Configurator

MFP Configurator is a tool primarily intended for configuring MFP

devices. Since an MFP device combines the printer and scanner,

the MFP Configurator provides options logically grouped for

printer and scanner functions. There is also a special MFP port

option responsible for the regulation of access to an MFP printer

and scanner via a single I/O channel.

After installing the MFP driver (see page 6.3), the MFP

Configurator icon will automatically be created on your desktop.

MFP Ports Configuration

In this window, you can view the list of available MFP ports,

check the status of each port and release a port that is stalled

in busy state when its owner is terminated for any reason.

Sharing Ports Between Printers and Scanners

Your machine may be connected to a host computer via the USB

port. Since the MFP device contains more than one device

(printer and scanner), it is necessary to organize proper access

of “consumer” applications to these devices via the single I/O

port.

The Samsung MFP driver package provides an appropriate port

sharing mechanism that is used by Samsung printer and

scanner drivers. The drivers address their devices via so-called

MFP ports. The current status of any MFP port can be viewed via

the MFP Ports Configuration. The port sharing prevents you from

accessing one functional block of the MFP device, while another

block is in use.

When you install a new MFP printer onto your system, it is

strongly recommended you do this with the assistance of an MFP

Configurator. In this case you will be asked to choose I/O port

for the new device. This choice will provide the most suitable

configuration for MFP’s functionality. For MFP scanners I/O ports

are being chosen by scanner drivers automatically, so proper

settings are applied by default.

Cleaning Your Machine

To maintain print quality, follow the cleaning procedures below

each time the toner cartridge is replaced or if print quality

problems occur.

N

OTES

:

• While cleaning the inside of the machine, be careful not to touch

the transfer roller, located underneath the toner cartridge. Oil

from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

• Cleaning the cabinet of your machine with products containing

large amounts of alcohol, solvent, or other strong substances

can discolor or crack the cabinet.

Cleaning the Outside

Clean the cabinet of the machine with a soft lint-free cloth. You

can dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to

let any water drip onto or inside the machine.

Cleaning the Inside

During the printing process, paper, toner and dust particles can

accumulate inside the machine. This build-up can cause print

quality problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning

the inside of the machine clears or reduces these problems.

1

Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for

the machine to cool down.

2

Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out,

lightly pushing it down.

M

AINTENANCE

7.4

3

With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled

toner from the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge

cavity.

C

AUTION

: To preve

nt damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose

it to light for more than a few minutes. Cover it with a piece of paper,

if necessary. Do not touch the black transfer roller inside the machine.

4

Locate the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the

cartridge compartment, and gently swab the glass to see if

dirt turns the white cotton black.

5

Reinsert the toner cartridge and close the cover.

6

Plug in the power cord and turn the machine on.

M

AINTENANCE

7.5

7

Cleaning the Document Glass

Keeping the document glass clean helps ensure the best

possible copies. We suggest that you clean the document glass

at the start of each day and during the day, as needed.

1

Slightly dampen a soft lint-free cloth or paper towel with

water.

2

Lift the document glass.

3

Wipe the surface of the document glass until it is clean and

dry.

4

Wipe the underside of the white document cover until it is

clean and dry.

5

Close the document cover.

M

7.6

Maintaining the Toner Cartridge

Toner Cartridge Storage

To get the most from the toner cartridge, keep the following

guidelines in mind:

• Do not remove the toner cartridge from its package until

ready for use.

• Do not refill the toner cartridge.

The machine warranty

does not cover damage caused by using a refilled

cartridge.

• Store toner cartridges in the same environment as your

machine.

• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to

light for more than a few minutes.

Saving Toner

To save toner, use the Toner Save feature; see page 1.27. Using

this feature extends the life of the toner cartridge and reduces

your cost per page, but it also reduces the print quality.

Expected Cartridge Life

The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner

that print jobs require. When printing text at ISO 19752 5%

coverage, a new toner cartridge lasts an average of 3,000

pages. (The original toner cartridge supplied with the machine

lasts an average of 1,000 pages.) The actual number may be

different depending on the print density of the page you print.

If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the

cartridge more often.

N

OTE

: The 1,000 pages and 3,000 pages toner cartridges have

different shapes.

M

AINTENANCE

7.7

7

Redistributing Toner

When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life, white streaks

or light print occurs. You can temporarily re-establish the print

quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge.

1

Open the front cover.

2

Pull the toner cartridge out and gently roll the cartridge 5 or

6 times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

N

OTE

: If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth

and wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets the toner into

fabric.

3

Reinstall the cartridge and close the front cover.

M

AINTENANCE

7.8

Replacing the Toner Cartridge

When the toner eventually runs out, only blank pages print when a

print job is sent. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be

replaced. The machine stops printing.

1

Open the front cover.

2

Lightly pushing the used cartridge down, pull it out.

3

Unpack the new toner cartridge and gently roll it

horizontally four or five times to distribute the toner evenly

inside the cartridge.

Save the box and the Plastic bag for shipping.

4

Slide the new toner cartridge in until it locks into place.

5

Close the front cover.

M

Consumables and Replacement

Parts

From time to time, you needs to replace the toner cartridge,

roller, and fuser unit to maintain top performance and to avoid

print quality problems and paper feed problems resulting from

worn parts.

The following items should be replaced after you have printed a

specified number of pages:

To purchase consumables and replacement parts, contact your

Samsung dealer or the retailer where you bought your machine.

We strongly recommend that items be installed by trained

service professional, except for the toner cartridge.

Printing Quality Problems

If the inside of the printer is dirty, or paper is improperly loaded, print quality maybe

reduced. See the table below to clear the problem.

Condition Suggested solutions

Light or faded

print

If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:

• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily

extend the toner cartridge life. See “Redistributing Toner” on

page 7.7. If this does not improve the print quality, install a

new toner cartridge.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example,

the paper is too moist or too rough. See “Paper

Specifications” on page A.5.

• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too

low or Toner Save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and

turn Toner Save mode off. See page 3.8 and page 1.27

respectively.

• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that

the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the Drum”

on page 7.9.

• The surface of the document glass may be dirty. Clean the

document glass. See page 7.5.

• The surface of the LSU may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See

page 7.4.

Toner specks

• The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the

paper is too moist or too rough. See “Paper Specifications” on

page A.5.

• The transfer roller or paper path may be dirty. Clean the

inside of your machine and the drum. See page 7.3 and

page 7.9.

Dropouts

If generally rounded faded areas, occur randomly on the

page:

• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the

job.

• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has

moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper. See

“Paper Specifications” on page A.5.

• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing process can cause

some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of

paper.

• The toner cartridge may be defective.

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty.

Clean the LSU (Clean the LSU. See page 7.4.

Gray background

If the amount of background shading becomes

unacceptable:

• Change to a lighter weight pages. See “Paper Specifications”

on page A.5.

• Check the machine’s environment; very dry (low humidity) or

high humidity (higher than 80% RH) conditions can increase

the amount of background shading.

• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one. See

“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 7.8.

Toner smear

• Clean the inside of the machine. See page 7.3.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper Specifications”

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See

“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 7.8.

Vertical repetitive

defects

If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page

at even intervals:

• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive mark

occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet several times to

clean the cartridge; see “Cleaning the Drum” on page 7.9.

After the printout, if you still have the same problems,

remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See

“Replacing the Toner Cartridge” on page 7.8

.

• Parts of the machine may have toner on them. If the

defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will

likely correct itself after a few more pages.

• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service

representative.

Background

scatter

Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on

the printed page.

• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different

batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until

necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much

moisture.

• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the

printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have

overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can

cause problems.

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a

printed page, adjust the print resolution through your

software application or the printer properties.

Miss-formed

characters

• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow

images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different

paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.5.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy

effect, the scanner unit may need service. For service,

contact a service representative.

Page skew

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper Specifications”

on page A.5.

• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly

and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the

paper stack.

Scanning Problems

Condition Suggested solutions

The scanner does not work.

• Make sure that you place the document to be scanned

face down on the document glass.

• There may not be enough available memory to hold

the document you want to scan. Try the Prescan

function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan

resolution rate.

• Check that the USB or parallel cable is connected

properly.

• Make sure that the USB or parallel cable is not

defective. Switch the cable with a known good cable.

If necessary, replace the cable.

• If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it is

compliant with the IEEE 1284 standard.

• Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check

scan setting in the SmarThru Configuration or the

application you want to use to make certain that the

scanner job is being sent to the correct port, for

example, LPT1.

The unit scans very slowly.

• Check if the machine is printing received data. Scan

the document after the current job is completed.

• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.

• Communication speed becomes slow in scan mode

because of the large amount of memory required to

analyze and reproduce the scanned image. Set your

computer to the ECP printer mode through BIOS

setting. It will help to increase the speed. For details

about how to set BIOS, refer to your computer user’s

guide.

Message appears on your

computer screen:

• “Device can't be set to the

H/W mode you want.”

• “Port is being used by

current job is completed,

try again.”

• “Invalid handle.”

• “Scanning has failed.”

• There may be a copying or printing job in progress.

When the current job is complete, try the job again.

• The selected port is currently being used. Restart your

computer and try again.

• The printer cable may be improperly connected or the

power may be off. You must use a USB 1.1 compliant

cable or a parallel cable that supports IEEE-1284 bi-

directional communications.

• The scanner driver is not installed or an operating

environment is not set up properly.

• Ensure that port is properly connected and power is

Common Linux Problems

Problem Possible Cause and Solution

The machine doesn't print

• Check if the printer driver is installed in your system.

Open MFP configurator and switch to the Printers tab in

Printers configuration window to look at the list of

available printers. Make sure that your machine is

displayed on the list. If not, please, invoke Add new

printer wizard to set up your device.

• Check if the printer is started. Open Printers

configuration and select your machine on the printers list.

Look at the description in the Selected printer pane. If its

status contains "(stopped)" string, please, press the Start

button. After that normal operation of the printer should

be restored. The "stopped" status might be activated

when some problems in printing occurred. For instance,

this could be an attempt to print document when MFP

port is claimed by a scanning application.

• Check if the MFP port is not busy. Since functional

components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same

I/O interface (MFP port), the situation of simultaneous

access of different "consumer" application to the same

MFP port is possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one

of them at a time is allowed to gain control over the

device. The other "consumer" will encounter "device

busy" response. You should open MFP ports configuration

and select the port assigned to your printer. In the

Selected port pane you can see if the port is occupied by

some other application. If this is the case, you should

wait for completion of the current job or should press

Release port button, if you are sure that the present

owner is not functioning properly.

• Check if your application has special print option such as

"-oraw". If "-oraw" is specified in the command line

parameter then remove it to print properly. For Gimp

front-end, select "print" -> "Setup printer" and edit

command line parameter in the command item.

simultaneously.

• Since both Linux Printer Package and MFP driver make

a symbolic link to "lpr" printing command, which is

commonly used on Unix clones, it is not recommended

to use both package on the same machine.

• If you still want to use both packages simultaneously,

please install the LPP first.

• If you want to uninstall only one of them, please

uninstall both packages and install that one you want

to use again.

• If you don't want to uninstall MFP driver and install it

Known versions of CUPS server break the print job

whenever print options are changed and then try to

restart the job from the beginning. Since Linux MFP

driver locks MFP port while printing, the abrupt

termination of the driver keeps the port locked and

therefore unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this

situation occurred, please, try to release the MFP port.

Guidelines for Using Paper

For the best result, use conventional 75 g/m

2

(20 lb) paper. Ensure that the paper is

of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles,

voids, and curled or bent edges.

If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading, such as bond or recycled

paper, check the label on the package.

The following problems may cause print quality deviations, jamming, or even damage

to the machine:

N

OTES

:

• Do not use letterhead paper printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in

some types of thermography.

• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.

• The machine uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Insure that any

colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing

temperature (189 °C or 372.2 °F for 0.1 second).

Symptom Problem with Paper Solution

Poor print quality or toner

adhesion, problems with

feeding

Too moist, too rough, too

smooth, or embossed;

faulty paper lot

Try another kind of paper,

between 100 ~ 400 Sheffield, 4

~ 5 % moisture content.

Dropout, jamming, curl Stored improperly Store paper flat in its moisture-

proof wrapping.

Increased gray background

shading/machine wear

Too heavy Use lighter paper, use the rear

output slot.

Excessive curl problems

with feeding

Too moist, wrong grai n

direction, or short-grain

construction

• Use the rear output slot.

• Use long-grain paper.

Jamming, damage to

Paper Storage Environment

Paper storage environment conditions directly affect the feed operation.

Ideally, the machine and paper storage environment should be at or near room

temperature, and not too dry or humid. Remember that paper is hygroscopic; it

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 become distorted. This can cause paper jams.

Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be 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

large supplies 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

performance. The optimum condition is 20 to 24 °C (68 to 75 °F), with a relative

humidity of 45 % to 55 %. The following guidelines should be considered 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.

•

The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-

proof wrapping. If the machine environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the

amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture

changes.

A.10

Envelopes

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 90g/m

2

(24lb) or

jamming may occur.

•

Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6mm (0.25in.)

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 machine.

•

Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges

N

OTES

:

• Use only the manual feeder to print envelopes.

• You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than

140 mm

(

5.5 in.). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by

environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and

handling the paper correctly. Please refer to “Paper Storage Environment” on page A.9.

Envelopes with Double Side Seams

Double side-seam 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.

Correct

Incorrect

A.11

A

Envelopes with Adhesive Strips or Flaps

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 machine. The

extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing or even jams and may even

damage the fuser.

Envelope Margins

The following gives typical address margins for a commercial #10 or DL envelope.

N

OTES

:

• For the best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in.) from the

edges of the envelope.

• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.

Envelope Storage

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.

Type of Address Minimum Maximum

Return address 15 mm (0.6 in.) 51 mm (2 in.)

Delivery address 51 mm (2 in.) 90 mm (3.5 in.)

A.12

Labels

C

AUTIONS

:

• To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels recommended for laser printers.

• To prevent serious jams, always use the manual feeder 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.

When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:

•

Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at 208°C (406.4°F), the machine’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 13mm (5in.) of curl in

any direction.

•

Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles or other indications of separation.

Transparencies

Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 165°C (329°F), the

machine’s fusing temperature.

C

AUTION

: To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies recommended for

use in laser printers.
