Selecting print materials
You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain
paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. Always use print
materials that meet the guidelines for use with your machine.
Paper 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 on 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:
• 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 input tray.
• Weight: Your machine supports paper weights as follows:
- 16 to 24 lb (60 to 90 g/m
2
) bond for the paper input tray
- 16 to 43 lb (60 to 165 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.
N
OTES
:
• Some paper 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 paper, ensure that the
paper meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide.
C
AUTION
: Using paper that does not meet these specifications
may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not
covered by the Samsung warranty or service agreements.
