Guidelines for special print media MEDIA TYPE Envelopes MEDIA TYPE GUIDELINES • • • • • • Labels Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following factors: - Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed 90 g/m2 or jamming may occur. - Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm curl, and should not contain air.
MEDIA TYPE Preprinted paper GUIDELINES • • • • Letterhead must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt, vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second. Check your machine’s specification to view the fusing temperature, see page 40. 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.
4. Pinch the rear guide to adjust for the paper length and pinch the side guide and slide it to the left flush against the paper. PRINTING ON SPECIAL PRINT MEDIAS The machine can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes. Especially, it is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper. Feeding the print material manually • • • • Do not push the width guide far enough to cause the material to warp.
3. Load the paper in the manual tray. (For ML-1640 Series, load paper in the paper input tray. Envelope Preprinted paper Transparency SETTING THE PAPER SIZE AND TYPE After loading paper in the paper tray, you need to set the paper size and type using the printer driver. Follow these steps to make your changes permanent. The following procedure is for Windows XP. For other Windows OS, refer to the corresponding Windows User's Guide or online help. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
basic printing This chapter explains common printing tasks. This chapter includes: • Printing a document • Canceling a print job PRINTING A DOCUMENT Your machine allows you to print from various Windows, Macintosh, or Linux applications. The exact steps for printing a document may vary depending on the application you use. For details about printing, see the Software section.
maintenance This chapter provides information for maintaining your machine and the toner cartridge. This chapter includes: • • Cleaning your machine Maintaining the cartridge • Replacing the toner cartridge The illustrations of the machine are based on ML-2240 series. ML-1640 series does not have a manual tray. CLEANING YOUR MACHINE 3. Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the machine.
5. With a dry, lint-free cloth, wipe away any dust and spilled toner from the toner cartidge area and the toner cartridge cavity. 7. After inserting the manual tray and the toner cartridge, close the cover. Make sure that the cover is securely closed. If it is not firmly closed, printing errors may occur when you print. If it is not firmly closed, printing errors may occur when you print. To prevent damage to the toner cartridge, do not expose it to light for more than few minute.
MAINTAINING THE CARTRIDGE Redistributing toner Toner cartridge storage Small amount of toner is left in the cartridge. You can temporarily improve print quality by redistributing the toner. 1. Open the front cover. Toner cartridges contain components that are sensitive to light, temperature, and humidity. Samsung suggests users follow the recommendations to ensure the optimum performance, highest quality, and longest life from your new Samsung toner cartridge.
3. Gently shake the toner cartridge from side to side five or six times to redistribute the toner. REPLACING THE TONER CARTRIDGE When the toner LED lights red, a toner cartridge has reached its estimated cartridge life. Your machine stops printing. Also, the Smart Panel program window appears on the computer telling you to replace the cartridge. At this stage, the toner cartridge needs to be replaced. Check the type of toner cartridge for your machine. (See "Supply" on page 39.) 1.
4. Holding both handles on the toner cartridge, thoroughly rock it from side to side to evenly distribute the toner. 6. Unfold the toner cartridge handle and grasp it. Insert the cartridge in the machine until it snaps into place. If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash it in cold water. Hot water sets toner into fabric. • • Don't use sharp objects, such as a knife or scissors, to open the toner cartridge package. You could damage the surface of the toner cartridge.
troubleshooting This chapter gives helpful information for what to do if you encounter an error. This chapter includes: • • Tips for avoiding paper jams Clearing paper jams • Solving other problems The illustrations of the machine are based on ML-2240 series. ML-1640 series does not have a manual tray. TIPS FOR AVOIDING PAPER JAMS By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided. When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined on page 30. • Follow the procedures on page 21.
2. Open the top cover and the inner cover. 4. Close the inner cover and the top cover. Printing resumes automatically. Failed pages will not reprint. Try printing the pages. • • When removing the jammed paper, be careful not to touch the heat roller (located underneath the inner cover). It is hot and could cause burns! The top and inner cover themselves may also be hot due to the heat roller. Allow the machine to cool before opening the covers. In the paper feed area 1.
Around the toner cartridge 3. Gently pull the paper toward you. 1. Open the front cover. For ML-2240 Series, if you have installed the dust cover, remove the dust cover before opening the front cover. 4. Check that there is no other paper in the machine. 5. Reinstall the toner cartridge and close the front cover. Your machine resumes printing the document from failed pages. 2. Pull the toner cartridge out and remove it from the machine.
CONDITION The paper keeps jamming. SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS • • • Envelopes skew or fail to feed correctly. There is too much paper in the tray. Remove excess paper from the tray. If you are printing on special materials, load only one size of print media at a time in the tray. An incorrect type of paper is being used. Use only paper that meets the specifications required by the machine. See page 19. There may be debris inside the machine. Open the front cover and remove the debris.
CONDITION The machine selects print materials from the wrong paper source. POSSIBLE CAUSE The paper source selection in the printer properties may be incorrect. CONDITION For many software applications, the paper source selection is found under the Paper tab within the printer properties. Select the correct paper source. See the printer driver help screen. The machine does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing.
Printing quality problems If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem. CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS Light or faded print If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page: • The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See page 27. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge.
CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS Background scatter Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page. • The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture. • If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.
CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS If the printed paper is curled or paper does not feed into the machine: • Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray. • Change the printer option and try again. Go to printer properties, click Paper tab, and set type to Thin. Refer to the Software section for details. Curl An unknown image repetitively appears on a next few sheets or loose toner, light print, or contamination occurs.
Common Macintosh problems CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS The machine does not print PDF file correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing. Incompatibility between the PDF file and the Acrobat products: Printing the PDF file as an image may solve this problem. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options. It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image. The document has printed, but the print job has not disappeared from the spooler in Mac OS 10.3.2.
