Get the Right Paper

Your Samsung SF-4700 is designed to work well on most common office paper types and with quality 25% cotton bond paper. Because your printer uses ink to produce an image, paper that accepts ink produces the best results. Be sure to test a variety of paper types before buying large quantities.

Paper that Might Not Work

Highly textured stock, such as linen, may not print evenly because the ink can bleed.

Extremely smooth, shiny, or coated papers not specifically designed for inkjet printers can jam the printer and repel ink.

Multi-part forms, such as duplicate or triplicate forms can wrinkle and jam; the ink is also more likely to smear.

Paper in poor condition — with tears, dust, wrinkles, curled or bent edges, or that doesn’t lie flat can jam the printer.

Envelopes with thick or crooked edges; envelopes that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped; envelopes that are shiny or embossed; or envelopes with clasps or windows.

Selecting Media Sizes

The paper input tray can hold up to 150 sheets of 20 Ib (75 g/m2) paper. The single-sheet manual input slot is designed to hold one sheet. Both can be adjusted to hold media measuring from 3 by 5 inches (76.2 by 127 mm) to 8.5 by 17 inches (216 by 432 mm). This includes, but is not limited to, the following paper and envelope sizes:

•Letter:8.5 by 11 in; 216 by 279 mm

•A4:8.25 by 11.75 in; 210 by 297 mm

•Legal:8.5 by 14 in; 216 by 356 mm

•Executive: 7.25 by 10.5 in; 184 by 267 mm

•COM10 Envelopes: 4.125 by 9.5 in; 105 by 241 mm

•Monarch Envelopes: 3.875 by 7.5 in; 98.5 by 190.5 mm

•Other Custom Size

Note: Insert all media vertically (portrait orientation) into the paper input tray or single-sheet manual input slot. To print horizontally (landscape orientation), make this selection through software. Do not print on paper smaller than 3 by 5 inches (76.2 by 127 mm).
