Important Precautions and Safety Information
When using this machine, these basic safety precautions should always be
followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, and injury to people:
1 Read and understand all instructions.
2 Use common sense whenever operating electrical appliances.
3 Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the machine and in the
literature accompanying the machine.
4 If an operating instruction appears to conflict with safety information,
heed the safety information. You may have misunderstood the
operating instruction. If you cannot resolve the conflict, contact your
sales or service representative for assistance.
5 Unplug the machine from the AC wall socket before cleaning. Do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning.
6 Do not place the machine on an unstable cart, stand or table. It may fall,
causing serious damage.
7 Your machine should never be placed on, near or over a radiator,
heater, air conditioner or ventilation duct.
8 Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Do not locate your
machine where the cords will be abused by persons walking on them.
9 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords. This can diminish
performance, and may result in the risk of fire or electric shock.
10 Do not allow pets to chew on the AC power or PC interface cords.
11 Never push objects of any kind into the machine through case or
cabinet openings. They may touch dangerous voltage points, creating a
risk of fire or shock. Never spill liquid of any kind onto or into the
machine.
12 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the machine.
Take it to a qualified service technician when repair work is required.
Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or
other risks. Incorrect reassembly could cause electric shock when the
unit is subsequently used.
13 Unplug the machine from the PC and AC wall outlet, and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When any part of the power cord, plug, or connecting cable is
damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the machine.
• If the machine has been exposed to rain or water.
• If the machine does not operate properly after instructions have been
followed.
• If the machine has been dropped, or the cabinet appears damaged.
• If the machine exhibits a sudden and distinct change in performance.
14 Adjust only those controls covered by the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, and may
require extensive work by a qualified service technician to restore the
machine to normal operation.
15 Avoid using this machine during a lightning storm. There may be a
remote risk of electric shock from lightning. If possible, unplug the AC
power for the duration of the lightning storm.
16 If you continuously print multiple pages, the surface of the output tray
may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and keep children
away from the surface.
17 The Power cord supplied with your machine should be used for safe
operation. If you are using a cord which is longer than 2 m with 110 V
machine, then it should be 16 AWG
*
or bigger.
18 SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

cover.
Please contact the people from you purchased the machine.
The 13 amp plug is the most widely used type in the UK and should be
suitable. However, some buildings (mainly old ones) do not have normal 13
amp plug sockets. You need to buy a suitable plug adaptor. Do not remove
the moulded plug.
Warning
If you cut off the moulded plug, get rid of it straight away.
You cannot rewire the plug and you may receive an electric shock if you
plug it into a socket.
Important warning:
You must earth this machine.

If the wires in the mains lead do not match the colors marked in your plug, do
the following:
You must connect the green and yellow wire to the pin marked by the letter
“E” or by the safety ‘Earth symbol’ or colored green and yellow or green.
You must connect the blue wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “N”
or colored black.
You must connect the brown wire to the pin which is marked with the letter “L”
or colored red.

This chapter will help you understand the types of paper you can use
with your printer and how to properly load paper in the different paper
trays for the best print quality.
This chapter includes:
• Selecting print media
• Loading paper
• Printing with a prescribed paper size
• Knowing an output location
Selecting print media
You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes,
labels, and transparencies. Always use print media that meet the
guidelines for use with your printer. Print media that does not meet the
guidelines outlined in this user’s guide may cause the following
problems:
• Poor print quality
• Increased paper jams
• Premature wear output trayn the machine.
Properties, such as weight, composition, grain, and moisture content,
are important factors that affect the machine’s performance and the
output quality. When you choose print materials, consider the following:
• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are
described later in this section.
• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate
for your project.
• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce
sharper, more vibrant images.
• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how
crisp the printing looks on the paper.
Notes
• Some print media may meet all of the guidelines in this section
and still not produce satisfactory results. This may be the
result of improper handling, unacceptable temperature and
humidity levels, or other variables over which Samsung has no
control.
• Before purchasing large quantities of print media, ensure that
it meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
Caution
• Using print media that does not meet these specifications may
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not
covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media
When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print media, keep
these guidelines in mind:
• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on
the next column.
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause
paper jams and poor print quality.
• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper
specifically recommended for use in laser printers.
• Avoid using the following print media types:
- Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too
smooth or too rough
- Erasable bond paper
- Multi-paged paper
- Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
- Carbonless paper and Tracing paper.
• Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical
smells, and damage to your printer.
• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it.
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 print media at temperatures between 15o C and 30o C
(59o F to 86o F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and
70%.
• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic
container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating
your paper.
• Load special print media types one sheet at a time through the
manual tray to avoid paper jams.
• To prevent print media, such as transparencies and label sheets, from
sticking together, remove them as they print out.
Caution
• If you print 20 envelopes in succession, the surface of the top
cover may become hot. Please exercise caution.
Guidelines for special print media
Type Guidelines
Envelopes • Successful printing on envelopes depends
upon the quality of the envelopes. When
selecting envelopes, consider the following
factors:
- Weight: The weight of the envelope paper
should not exceed 90 g/m2 (24 lb) or jamming
may occur.
- Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes
should lie flat with less than 6 mm
(0.25 inches) 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 during operation.
• Use only well-constructed envelopes with sharp
and well creased folds.
• Do not use stamped envelopes.
• Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps,
windows, coated lining, self-adhesive seals, or
other synthetic materials.
• Do not use damaged or poorly made
envelopes.
• Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope
extends all the way to the corner of the
envelope.
• Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with
more than one flap that folds over to seal must
use adhesives compatible with the printer’s
fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your
machine’s specification to view the fusing
temperature, see page 11.1. The extra flaps
and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or
jams, and may even damage the fuser.
• For the best print quality, position margins no
closer than 15 mm (0.6 inches) from the edges
of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the
envelope’s seams meet.
Acceptable
Unacceptable
5.4 <
Loading print media>
Transparencies • To avoid damaging the printer, use only
transparencies designed for use in laser
printers.
• Transparencies used in the printer must be able
to withstand the machine’s fusing temperature.
Check your machine’s specification to view the
fusing temperature, see page 11.1.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing
them from the printer.
• Do not leave them in the paper tray for long
periods of time. Dust and dirt may accumulate
on them, resulting in spotty printing.
• To avoid smudging caused by fingerprints,
handle them carefully.
• To avoid fading, do not expose printed
transparencies to prolonged sunlight.
• Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled,
curled, or have any torn edges.
Labels • To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels
designed for use in laser printers.
• When selecting labels, consider the following
factors:
- Adhesives: The adhesive material should be
stable at 180° C (356° F), the printer’s fusing
temperature.
- Arrangement: Only use labels with no
exposed backing between them. Labels can
peel off sheets that have spaces between the
labels, causing serious jams.
- Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with
no more than 13 mm (5 inches) of curl in any
direction.
- Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles,
bubbles, or other indications of separation.
• Make sure that there is no exposed adhesive
material between 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 run a sheet of labels through the printer
more than once. The adhesive backing is
designed for only a single pass through the
printer.
• Do not use labels that are separating from the
backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
otherwise damaged.
Card stock or
custom-sized
materials
• Do not print on print media smaller than 76 mm
(3 inches) wide or 127 mm (5 inches) long.
• In the software application, set margins at least
6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of
the material.
Type Guidelines
Loading paper
Load the print media you use for the majority of your print jobs in the tray
1. The tray 1 can hold a maximum of 250 sheets of 20 lb plain paper.
You can purchase an optional tray (tray 2) and attach it below the
standard tray to load an additional 250 sheets of paper. For order
information for an optional tray, see 7.1.
The paper level indicator on the front of the tray 1 and the optional tray
2 shows the amount of paper currently left in the tray. When the tray is
empty, the indicator of the bar is completely lowered.
Preprinted
paper
• Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release
hazardous emissions when subjected to the
printer’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second.
Check your machine’s specification to view the
fusing temperature, see page 11.1.
• Letterhead ink must be non-flammable and
should not adversely affect printer rollers.
• Forms and letterhead should be sealed in a
moisture-proof wrapping to prevent changes
during storage.
• Before you load preprinted paper, such as
forms and letterhead, verify that the ink on the
paper is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink
can come off preprinted paper, reducing print
quality.

This chapter provides information for maintaining your printer and the
toner cartridge.
This chapter includes:
• Cleaning the printer
• Maintaining the toner cartridge
• Printing a configuration page
• Maintenance parts
Cleaning the printer
During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can
accumulate inside the printer. This buildup can cause print quality
problems, such as toner specks or smearing.
Cleaning the outside of the printer
Clean the cabinet of the printer 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 into the printer.
Caution
• Cleaning the cabinet of the printer with cleaning materials
containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong
substances can discolor or crack the cabinet.
• If your machine or its around is contaminated with toner, we
recommend you to use cloth or tissue dampened with water to
clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and
might be harmful for you.
Cleaning the inside of the printer
1Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord. Wait for the printer
to cool down.
2Open the front cover and pull the toner cartridge out. Set it on a
clean flat surface.
3With a dry lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from
the toner cartridge area and the toner cartridge cavity.
Caution
• To prevent 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 green surface underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.
Caution
• While cleaning the inside of the printer, be careful not to reach
too far into the printer. The fuser area may be hot.
8.2 <
Maintenance>
4Gently swab the long strip of glass (LSU) inside the top of the
cartridge and check for dirt or dust.
5Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the
cartridge into the opening in the printer.
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves
within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position
until it locks into place completely.
6Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
7Plug in the power cord and turn the printer on.
Note
• The long strip of glass is hard to locate.
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 printer warranty does not cover
damage caused by using a refilled cartridge.
• Store toner cartridge in the same environment as the printer.
• To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
Expected cartridge life
The life of the toner cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print
jobs require. The actual number may also be different depending on the
print density of the pages you print on, and the number of pages may be
affected by operating environment, printing interval, media type, and
media size. If you print a lot of graphics, you may need to change the
cartridge more often.
Redistributing toner cartridge
When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life span:
• White streaks and light printing occur.
• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer.
•The Error LED blinks red.
If this happens, you can temporarily reestablish print quality by
redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white
streaks or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed
the toner.
1Open the front cover.
2Pull the toner cartridge out.
8.3 <
Maintenance>
3Thoroughly shake the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner
evenly inside the cartridge.
4Hold the toner cartridge by the handle and slowly insert the
cartridge into the opening in the printer.
Tabs on the sides of the cartridge and corresponding grooves
within the printer will guide the cartridge into the correct position
until it locks into place completely.
5Close the front cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed.
Caution
• Avoid reaching too far into the printer. The fuser area may be
hot.
• To prevent 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 green surface underside of the toner
cartridge. Use the handle on the cartridge to avoid touching
this area.
Caution
• If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and
wash clothing in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric.
Note
• At this stage, if you need to replace the toner cartridge, see
page 8.4.
Replacing the toner cartridge
When the toner is completely empty or the toner cartridge reached the
end of its life span:
• The printer stops printing.
• The Smart Panel program window appears on the computer.
•The Error LED blinks red.
At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. For toner
cartridge ordering information, see page 7.1.
1Open the front cover.
2Pull the old toner cartridge out.
3Remove the new toner cartridge from its bag.
4Thoroughly shake the cartridge 5 or 6 times to distribute the toner
evenly inside the cartridge.
Thoroughly shake the cartridge to assure maximum copies per
cartridge.

Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions Solving print quality problems
Dirt inside of the printer or improper paper loading may reduce print
quality. See the table below to troubleshoot problems.
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
page 8.2. If this does not improve 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 page 5.3.
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution
setting is too light or toner save mode is on.
Adjust the print resolution and toner save
mode in the printer properties. See the
Software Section.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects
may indicate that the printer needs cleaning.
See page 8.1.
• The surface of LSU may be dirty. Clean the
LSU. See page 8.2.
Toner spots • The paper may not meet specifications (for
example, the paper is too moist or too rough).
See page 5.3.
• The transfer roller or paper path may be dirty.
See page 8.1.
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 page 5.3.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing
processes can cause some areas to reject
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. See
“Vertical repetitive defects” on the next
column.
• If these steps do not correct the problems,
contact a service representative.
9.8 <
Troubleshooting>
Vertical lines If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The drum inside the toner cartridge has
probably been scratched. Install a new toner
cartridge. See page 8.3.
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface of the LSU part inside the printer
may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See page 8.2.
Gray
background
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable, the procedures below may fix the
problem.
• Change to lighter weight pages. See page 5.3.
• Check the printer’s environment; low humidity
(lower than 20% RH) 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 page 8.3.
Toner smear • Clean the inside of the printer. See page 8.1.
• Check the paper type and quality. See page
5.2.
• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new
one. See page 8.3.
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, install a
new toner cartridge. See page 8.3.
• Parts of the printer 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.
Condition Suggested solutions
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
via the printer properties window.
Misformed
characters
• If characters are improperly formed and
producing hollowed images, the paper stock
may be too slick. Try a different paper. See
page 5.3.
Page skew • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. See page
5.2.
• Ensure that the paper is loaded correctly and
the adjustable guides are not too tight or too
loose against the paper stack.
Curl or wave • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. Both high
temperature and humidity can cause paper
curl. See page 5.2.
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also

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.
• 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.
I encounter error
“Unable to open
mfp port device
file!” when printing
a document.
Please avoid changing print job parameters
(via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is
in progress. 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 Unified Linux 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.
When printing a
document over the
network in SuSE
9.2, the printer
does not print.
The CUPS (Common Unix Printing System)
version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2
(cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp
(Internet Printing Protocol) printing. Use the
socket printing instead of ipp or install later
version of CUPS (cups-1.1.22 or higher).

Troubleshooting>
Common Macintosh problems
Condition Suggested solutions
The printer does not
print PDF file correctly.
Some parts of graphics,
text, or illustrations are
missing.
Incompatibility between the PDF file and
the Acrobat products:
Printing the PDF file as an image may
solve this problem. Turn on Print As
Image from the Acrobat printing options.
Note: It will take longer to print when you
print a PDF file as an image.
The document has
printed, but the print job
has not disappeared
from the spooler in Mac
OS 10.3.2.
Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3 or
higher.
Some letters are not
displayed normally
during the cover sheet
printing.
This problem is caused because Mac OS
cannot find the font during the cover
page printing.
Alphanumeric characters, in the Billing
Info field, are only allowed for printing on
the cover page. Other characters will be
broken on the printout.

10 Installing accessories
Your machine is a full-featured model that has been optimized to meet
most of your printing needs. Recognizing that each user may have
different requirements, however, Samsung makes several accessories
available to enhance your machine’s capabilities.
This chapter includes:
• Precautions to take when installing accessories
• Installing a memory module
Precautions to take when installing accessories
Disconnect the power cord
Never remove the control board cover while the power is turned on.
To avoid the possibility of an electrical shock, always disconnect the
power cord when installing or removing ANY internal or external
accessories.
Discharge static electricity
The control board and internal accessories (network interface card or
memory module) are sensitive to static electricity. Before installing or
removing any internal accessories, discharge static electricity from your
body by touching something metal, such as the metal back plate on any
device plugged into a grounded power source. If you walk around before
finishing the installation, repeat this procedure to discharge any static
electricity again.
Installing a memory module
Your machine has a dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Use this
memory module slot to install additional memory.
When you are expanding the memory capacity, you can add a memory
module to the vacant memory slot. Your machine has 32 MB memory,
and you can add a 128 MB memory module.
Order information is provided for optional memory module. (See
"Accessory" on page 7.1.)
1Turn the machine off and unplug all cables from the machine.
2Open the control board cover.
3Take out a new memory module from the plastic bag.
4Holding the memory module by the edges, align the memory
module on the slot at about a 30-degree tilt. Make sure that the
notches of the module and the grooves on the slot fit each other.
Note
The notches and grooves illustrated above may not match
those on an actual memory module and its slot.
5Press the memory module into the slot with care until you hear a
'click'.
Caution
Do not press the memory module strongly or the module
may be damaged. If the module does not seem to fit into
the slot properly, carefully try the previous procedure again.
10.2 <
Installing accessories>
6Replace the control board cover.
7Reconnect the power cord and printer cable, and turn the machine
on.
Note
To release the memory module, pull the two tabs on the
sides of the slot outwards, then the module springs out.
Activating the added memory in the PS printer
properties
After installing the memory module, you need to select it in the printer
properties of the PostScript printer driver in order to use it.
1Make sure that the PostScript printer driver is installed on your
computer. For details about installing the PS printer driver, see
Software section
.

A printer driver is software that lets your computer
communicate with your printer. The procedure to install drivers
may differ depending on the operating system you are using.
All applications should be closed on your PC before beginning
installation.
Installing Software for Local Printing
A local printer is a printer directly attached to your computer

TrueType Options
:
This option determines what the driver
tells the printer about how to image the text in your document.
Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your
document.
-
Download as Outline
: When this option is selected, the
driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your
document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If,
after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print
correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your
print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful
when printing Adobe.
This feature is available only
when you use the PCL printer driver.
-
Download as Bitmap
: When this option is selected, the
driver will download the font data as bitmap images.
Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or
Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.
-
Print as Graphics
:
When this option is selected, the driver
will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents
with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts,
printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this
setting.
•
Print All Text To Black
:
When the
Print All Text To
Black
option
is checked, all text in your document prints solid
black, regardless of the color it appears on the screen.
•
Print All Text To Darken
:
When the
Print All Text To
Darken
option is checked, all text in your document is allowed
to print darker than on a normal document.
Some printers do
not support this feature.
Extras Tab

page of your document.
For details, see
“Using Watermarks” on
page 21.
Overlay
Overlays are often used to take the place of preprinted forms and
letterhead paper.
For details, see
“Using Overlays” on page 22.
Output Options
•
Print Subset
: You can set the sequence in which the pages
print. Select the print order from the drop-down list.

page to the last page.
-
Reverse All Pages (3,2,1)
: Your printer prints all pages
from the last page to the first page.
-
Print Odd Pages
: Your printer prints only the odd numbered
pages of the document.
-
Print Even Pages
: Your printer prints only the even
numbered pages of the document.
•
Use Printer Fonts
: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, the
printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory (resident
fonts) to print your document, rather than downloading the
fonts used in your document. Because downloading fonts takes
time, selecting this option can speed up your printing time.
When using Printer fonts, the printer will try to match the fonts
used in your document to those stored in its memory. If,
however, you use fonts in your document that are very different
from those resident in the printer, your printed output will
appear very different from what it looks like on the screen.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL
printer driver.

Using Overlays
What is an Overlay?
An overlay is text and/or images stored in 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
preprinted 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 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.

odd pages, the last page of the first copy and the first
page of the next copy will be printed on the front and
back of one sheet. In case of "Uncollated copy", the
same page will be printed on the front and back of one
sheet. Therefore, if you need multiple copies of a
document and you want those copies on both sides of
the paper, you must print them one at a time, as
separate print jobs
