Samsung CLP-300 Series Labels, Envelopes with Double Side Seams, Envelope Margins, Transparencies

•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.

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

	Minimum	Maximum
Tray	3 x 5 in	8.5 x 14 in
	(76 x 127 mm)	(216 x 356 mm)

NOTE: You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than 127 mm(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 “Printer and Paper Storage Environment” on page 8.3.

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.

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 printer. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams, and may even damage the fuser.

Specifications

Envelope Margins

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

Type of Address	Minimum	Maximum
Return address	0.6 in (15 mm)	2 in (51 mm)
Delivery address	2 in (51 mm)	3.5 in (90 mm)

NOTES:

•For best print quality, position margins no closer than 0.6 in (15 mm) 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. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 3.3.

Labels

CAUTION:

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

•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 180 °C (356 °F), the printer’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 0.5 in (13 mm) of curl in any direction.

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

See “Printing on Labels” on page 3.3.

Transparencies

Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180 °C (356 °F), the machine’s fusing temperature.

CAUTION: To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
