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/m2) bond for the paper input tray

- 16 to 43 lb (60 to 165 g/m2) 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.

NOTES:

• 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.

CAUTION: 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.
