loading originals and print media This chapter introduces you to how to load originals and print media into your machine. This chapter includes: • • Loading originals Selecting print media LOADING ORIGINALS You can use the scanner glass or DADF to load an original for copying, scanning, and sending a fax. On the scanner glass Make sure that no originals are in the DADF. If an original is detected in the DADF, the machine gives it priority over the original on the scanner glass.
2. Adjust the document width guides to the paper size. SELECTING PRINT MEDIA You can print on a variety of print media, such as plain paper, envelopes, labels, and transparencies. 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.
Specification on print media TYPE Plain paper Envelope Transparency SIZE CAPACITYB WEIGHTA DIMENSIONS Letter 216 x 279 mm (8.5 x 11 inches) • Legal 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches) • Folio 216 x 330 mm (8.5 x 13 inches) A4 210 x 297 mm (8.26 x 11.69 inches) Oficio 216 x 343 mm (8.5 x 13.5 inches) JIS B5 182 x 257 mm (7.16 x 10.11 inches) ISO B5 176 x 250 mm (6.93 x 9.84 inches) Executive 184 x 267 mm (7.25 x 10.5 inches) A5 148 x 210 mm (5.82 x 8.

MEDIA TYPE Transparencies GUIDELINES • • • • • • • Labels • • • • Card stock or custom-sized materials • • To avoid damaging the machine, use only transparencies designed for use in laser printers. Transparencies used in the machine must be able to withstand 180 °C, the machine’s fusing temperature. 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.
2. After inserting paper into the tray, while pinching the paper width guide as shown, move it toward the stack of paper until it lightly touches the side of the stack. Do not press the guide too tightly to the edge of the paper; the guide may bend the paper. 1. To load paper, pull and open the paper tray and place paper with the side you want to print facing down. 1 Full 2 Empty Place the side to be printed facing up. When you use legal-sized paper, you need to extend the length of the tray. 3.
In the multi-purpose tray 3. Load the paper. The multi-purpose tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper. Tips on using the multi-purpose tray • • Load only one size of print media at a time in the multi-purpose tray. To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the multi-purpose tray. This also applies to other types of print media.
4. Squeeze the multi-purpose tray paper width guides and adjust them to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent, which will result in a paper jam or skew. Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines: • Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side. • Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the machine first. • Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the machine first.

SOLVING OTHER PROBLEMS The following chart lists some conditions that may occur and the recommended solutions. Follow the suggested solutions until the problem is corrected. If the problem persists, please call for service. CONDITION The paper keeps jamming. Touch screen problem CONDITION The touch screen does not show anything. SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS Turn the machine off and turn it on again. If the problem persists, please call for service.
Printing problems CONDITION The machine does not print. POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS The machine is not receiving power. Check the power cord connections. Check the power switch and the power source. The machine is not selected as the default printer. Select Samsung SCX-6x55 Series PCL 6 or Samsung SCX-6x55 Series PS as your default printer in your Windows. Check the machine for the following: • The side cover is not closed. Close the side cover. • Paper is jammed. Clear the paper jam.
CONDITION Pages print, but they are blank. POSSIBLE CAUSE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. Redistribute the toner, if necessary. If necessary, replace the toner cartridge. The file may have blank pages. Check the file to ensure that it does not contain blank pages. Some parts, such as the controller or the board, may be defective. Contact a service representative. The printer does not print PDF file correctly.
CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS White Spots White spots appears on the page: • The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from a paper falls to the inner devices within the machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. (See "Cleaning the transfer unit" on page 79.) Contact a service representative. • The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.
CONDITION Curl or wave SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS • • • Wrinkles or creases • • • Back of printouts are dirty Solid Color or Black pages Ensure that the paper is loaded properly. Check the paper type and quality. (See "Specification on print media" on page 33.) Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray. Character Voids A • • The imaging unit may not be installed properly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.
CONDITION Copy image is skewed. SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS • • Ensure that the original is face down on the scanner glass or face up in the DADF. Check that the copy paper is loaded correctly. Blank copies print out. Ensure that the original is face down on the scanner glass or face up in the DADF. Image rubs off the copy easily. • • Frequent copy paper jams occur. • • • Toner cartridge produces fewer copies than expected before running out of toner. • • • The scanner does not work.
Fax problems CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS The machine is not working, there is no display and the buttons are not working. • • Unplug the power cord and plug it in again. Ensure that there is power being supplied to the electrical outlet. No dial tone sounds. • Check that the phone line is properly connected. Check that the phone socket on the wall is working by plugging in another phone. • The numbers stored in memory do not dial correctly.
POSSIBLE CAUSE PROBLEM The machine does not staple correctly when printing more than one copy from Acrobat Reader with a collate option. (only in Window/ Macintosh) It might take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image. The machine does not staple correctly when printing more than one copy with a collate option. (only in Linux) Turning off collation options on applications (including CUPS pstops collation option) may solve this problem.
CONDITION Some color images come out in unexpected color. SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until GNU Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the base color space of the document is indexed RGB color space and it is converted through CIE color space. Because Postscript uses CIE color space for Color Matching System, you should upgrade Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU Ghostscript version 8.xx or later. You can find recent Ghostscript versions at www.ghostscript.com.
CONDITION The machine does not scan. SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS • • • Check if a document is loaded into the machine. Check if your machine is connected to the computer. Make sure if it is connected properly if I/O error is reported while scanning. Check if the port is not busy. Since functional components of MFP (printer and scanner) share the same I/O interface (port), the situation of simultaneous access of different “consumer” application to the same port is possible.
