Samsung CLX-8540ND Media type, Guidelines, transparencies designed for use in laser printers

Media type	Guidelines
Transparencies •	To avoid damaging the machine, 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 17.1.
• Place them on a flat surface after removing them
	from the machine.
•	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.
•	When you use the color printed transparency on
	a beam projector, due to toner’s characteristics,
	it won’t be reflected in colors.

Caution

• Recommended media: Transparency for a Color Laser Printers produced by HP, Xerox and 3M.

• It is not recommended to use paperbacked transparencies such as Xerox 3R91334, which can cause a jam or be scratched.

Media type			Guidelines
Labels	•	To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels
		designed for use in laser printers.
	•	When selecting labels, consider the following
		factors:
		-	Adhesives: The adhesive material should be
			stable at your machine’s fusing temperature.
			Check your machine’s specification to view the
			fusing temperature, see page 17.1.
		-	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 machine components.
	• Do not run a sheet of labels through the machine
		more than once. The adhesive backing is
		designed for only a single pass through the
		machine.
	•	Do not use labels that are separating from the
		backing sheet or are wrinkled, bubbled, or
		otherwise damaged.
Card stock or	Do not print on media smaller than 98 mm (3.86
custom-sized	inches) wide or 148 mm (5.83 inches) long.
materials	•	In the software application, set margins at least
		6.4 mm (0.25 inches) away from the edges of
		the material.
Preprinted	•	Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant
paper		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 17.1.
	•	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.

Note

Using photographic paper or coated paper may cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.
