  Loading in manual feeder

The manual feeder can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes.

Tips on using the manual feeder

Load only one type, size and weight of print media at time in the manual feeder.
If you select Manual Feeder for the paper source in your software application, you need to press Print screen or Demo page, or WPS
button each time you print a page and load only one type, size and weight of print media at a time on the manual tray.
To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still paper in the manual feeder.
Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.
To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 68).
Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.
When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 32).
When papers overlap when printing using the manual feeder, open tray 1 and remove the overlapping papers then try printing again.
When paper does not feed well while printing, push the paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically.
When the machine is in a power save mode, the machine does not feed paper from the manual feeder. Wake up the machine by
pressing the power button before using the manual feeder.

The table below shows the special media usable in each tray.
The media types are shown in the Printing Preferences. To get the higest printing quality, select the proper media type from the Printing
Preferences window > Paper tab > Paper Type (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 40).
For example, if you want to print on labels, select Labels for Paper Type.

When using special media, we recommend you feed one sheet at a time (see "Print media specifications" on page 68).

If this happens, you can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the remaining toner in the cartridge. In some cases, white streaks
or light printing will still occur even after you have redistributed the toner.

 Cleaning the machine 3. Maintenance 50

If printing quality problems occur or if you use your machine in a dusty environment, you need to clean your machine regularly to keep it in
the best printing condition and use your machine longer.

Cleaning the cabinet of the machine with cleaning materials containing large amounts of alcohol, solvents, or other strong substances
can discolor or distort the cabinet.
If your machine or the surrounding area is contaminated with toner, we recommend you use a cloth or tissue dampened with water
to clean it. If you use a vacuum cleaner, toner blows in the air and might be harmful to you.

Cleaning the outside

Clean the machine cabinet with a soft, lint-free cloth. Dampen the cloth slightly with water, but be careful not to let any water drip onto or
into the machine.

Cleaning the inside

During the printing process, paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the machine. This buildup can cause print quality
problems, such as toner specks or smearing. Cleaning the inside of the machine clears and reduces these problems.

Use a dry lint-free cloth to clean the machine.

If your machine has a power switch, turn the power switch off before cleaning the machine.
Before opening the front cover, close the output support first.

By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided. To avoid paper jams, refer to the following guidelines:
Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (see "Tray overview" on page 26).
Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
Do not mix paper types in a tray.
Use only recommended print media (see "Print media specifications" on page 68).

Samsungs printer warranty does not cover damage to the

machine caused by the use of a refilled, remanufactured, or
non-Samsung brand toner cartridges.

Estimated cartridge life

Estimated cartridge life the life of the toner cartridge (or imaging
unit) yield depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require.
The actual print yield may vary depending on the print density of the
pages you print on, operating environment, percentage of image
area, printing interval, media type and/or media size. For example, if
you print a lot of graphics, the consumption of the toner is higher
and you may need to change the cartridge more often.

When moving the machine, do not tilt or turn it upside down.

quality.
When moving the machine, make sure at least two people are
