Samsung CLP-300 Series Manual De Usuario

Using Print Materials

3.1

This chapter describes the types of paper you can use with your 
printer and how to properly load paper in the tray for the best 
print quality.

This chapter includes:
• Choosing Paper and Other Materials
• Verifying the Output Location
• Loading Paper
• Printing on Special Print Materials

You can print on a variety of print materials, such as plain 
paper, envelopes, labels, card stock, and so on. See “Printing 

on Special Print Materials” on page 3.3. To get the best possible 
print quality, use only high-quality, copier-grade paper.

When you choose print materials, consider the following:

• Desired outcome: The paper you choose should be 

appropriate for the project.

• Size: You can use any size paper that fits easily within the 

paper adjusters of the tray.

• Weight: Your printer supports paper weights as follows:
             -16~24 lbs bond(60~90 g/m

2

) for the tray

                -16~43 lbs bond(60~163 g/m

2

) for the manual feed

• Brightness: Some papers are whiter than others and 

produce sharper, more vibrant images. 

• Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the paper affects 

how crisp the printing looks on the paper.

: Using a material that does not conform to the 

specifications listed on page 8.3 can cause problems that may 
require service. This service will not be covered by the 

warranty or service agreements.

When selecting or loading paper, envelopes, or other special 
materials, keep these guidelines in mind:
• Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper 

can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

• Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multi-part paper.
• Use only high-quality, copier grade paper for the best print 

quality. 

• Do not use paper with irregularities, such as tabs or staples.
• Do not attempt to load the tray while printing, and never 

overfill the tray. This could cause a paper jam.

• Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a 

texture that is too smooth or too rough.

• Colored paper should be of the same high quality as white 

photocopy paper. The pigments must be able to withstand 
the printer’s fusing temperature of 180 °C (356 °F) for 0.1 

seconds without deteriorating. Do not use paper with a 
colored coating that was added after the paper was 
produced.

• Preprinted forms must be printed with nonflammable, heat-

resistant ink that does not melt, vaporize, or release 

hazardous emissions when subjected to the printer’s fusing 
temperature.

• Load special paper types one sheet at a time.
• Store paper 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 paper away from moisture, direct sunlight, or other 

conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

:

 Do not use carbonless paper or tracing paper. These 

types of paper are unstable at the fusing temperature and can 
give off fumes, or cause damage to the printer.

*  Maximum capacity may be reduced depending on the paper 

thickness.

**  If you load more than one sheet, paper jams will occur. You must 

load only one sheet at a time in the tray.
