To print an envelope, place it as shown in the following figure.
Media and tray • Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, windows, coated lining, selfadhesive seals, or other synthetic materials. • Do not use damaged or poorly made envelopes. • Be sure the seam at both ends of the envelope extends all the way to the corner of the envelope. Transparency In case of color printing using transparencies, the picture quality would be lower than mono printing when the printouts are used on the overhead projector.
Media and tray • To avoid fading, do not expose printed transparencies to prolonged sunlight. Labels • Ensure that transparencies are not wrinkled, curled, or have any torn edges. • Do not use transparencies that separate from the backing sheet. To avoid damaging the machine, use only labels designed for use in laser printers. • To prevent transparencies from sticking to each other, do not let the printed sheets stack up as they are being printed out.
Media and tray • 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.

Available consumables Depending on the options, percentage of image area and job mode used, the toner cartridge’s lifespan may differ. When purchasing new toner cartridges or other consumables, these must be purchased in the same country as the machine you are using. Otherwise, new toner cartridges or other consumables will be incompatible with your machine due to different configurations of toner cartridges and other consumables according to the specific country conditions.

Available maintenance parts To purchase maintenance parts, contact the source where you bought the machine. Replacing maintenance parts can be performed only by an authorized service provider, dealer, or the retailer where you bought the machine. The warranty does not cover the replacement of any maintenance parts once it has reached its “Average yield”. Maintenance parts are replaced at specific intervals to avoid print quality and paper feed problems resulting from worn parts, see table below.
Storing the toner cartridge Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow these recommendations to ensure optimal performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge. Store this cartridge in the same environment in which the printer will be used. This should be in controlled temperature and humidity conditions.
Storing the toner cartridge 3 Estimated cartridge life Estimated cartridge life (the life of the toner cartridge 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. 3.
Redistributing toner When the toner cartridge is near the end of its life: • White streaks or light printing occurs and/or density variation side to side. • The Status LED blinks red. The toner-related message saying that the toner is low may appear on the display. • The computers’s Samsung Printing Status program window appears on the computer telling you which color cartridge is low on tonerG(see "Using Samsung Printer Status" on page 235).
