This chapter introduces you how select and load print media for your 
machine.

This chapter includes:

Loading paper

•

Setting the paper size and type

Selecting print media

You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, 
and labels. Always use print media that meet the guidelines for use with 
your machine. Print media 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:

• The type, size and weight of the print media for your machine are 

described later in this section.

• Desired outcome: The print media you choose should be appropriate 

for your project.

• Brightness: Some print media are whiter than others and produce 

sharper, more vibrant images.

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media affects how 

crisp the printing looks on the paper.

Caution

Using print media that does not meet these specifications may 
cause problems, requiring repairs. Such repairs are not covered 
by Samsung’s warranty or service agreements.

Note

• Some print media 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 print media, ensure that it 

meets the requirements specified in this user’s guide. 

Guidelines for selecting and storing print media

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other print materials, 
keep these guidelines in mind:

• Always use print media that conform with the specifications listed on 

page 4.2.

• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause 

paper jams and poor print quality.

• For the best print quality, use only high quality copier grade paper 

specifically recommended for use in laser machines. 

• Avoid using the following media types:

-  Paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too 

smooth or too rough

-  Erasable bond paper
- Multi-paged paper
-  Synthetic paper and thermally reactive paper
-  Carbonless paper and Tracing paper. 

Use of these types of paper could result in paper jams, chemical 
smells, and damage to your machine.

• Store print media in its ream wrapper until you are ready to use it. 

Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor. Do not place 
heavy objects on top of the paper, whether it is packaged or 
unpackaged. Keep it away from moisture or other conditions that can 
cause it to wrinkle or curl.

• Store unused print media at temperatures between 15 °C and 30 °C. 

The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.

• Store unused print media in a moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic 

container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating 
your paper.

• Load special media types one sheet at a time through the multi-

purpose tray to avoid paper jams.

• To prevent print media, such as label sheets, from sticking together, 

remove them as they print out.
