Guidelines for Using Paper
For best results, use conventional 90 g/m 2 (24 lb) paper. Make sure the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, and curled or bent edges.
If you are unsure of what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of the paper.
The following problems with paper can cause print quality deviations, jamming, or even damage to the printer.
Symptom
Poor print quality or toner adhesion
Problems with feeding
Dropout, jamming, curl
Increased gray background shading
/printer wear
Excessive curl problems with feeding
Problem with Paper
Too moist, too rough, too smooth, or embossed; faulty paper lot
Stored improperly
Too heavy
Too moist, wrong grain direction or short-grain construction
Cutouts or perforations Jamming, damage to printer
Problems with feeding Ragged edges
Solution
Try another kind of paper, between 100 ~ 250 Sheffield,
4 ~ 5 % moisture content.
Store paper flat in its moistureproof wrapping.
Use lighter paper, open the rear output tray.
• Open the rear output tray.
• Use long-grain paper.
Do not use paper with cutouts or perforations.
Use good quality paper
Notes:
• Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography.
• Do not use raised or embossed letterhead.
• The printer uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200 °C or 392 °F for 0.1 second).

Printer and Paper Storage Environment
Ideally, the printer and paper storage environment should be at or near room temperature, and not too dry or humid.
Remember that paper absorbs and loses moisture rapidly.
Heat works with humidity to damage paper. Heat causes the moisture in paper to evaporate, while cold causes it to condense on the sheets. Heating systems and air conditioners remove most of the humidity from a room. As paper is opened and used, it loses moisture, causing streaks and smudging.
Humid weather or water coolers can cause the humidity to increase in a room. As paper is opened and used it absorbs any excess moisture, causing light print and dropouts. Also, as paper loses and gains moisture it can distort. This can cause paper jams.
As a result, paper storage and handling are as important as the paper-making process itself. Paper storage environmental conditions directly affect the feed operation.
Care should be taken not to purchase more paper than can be easily used in a short time (about 3 months). Paper stored for long periods may experience heat and moisture extremes, which can cause damage. Planning is important to prevent damage to a large supply of paper.
Unopened paper in sealed reams can remain stable for several months before use. Opened packages of paper have more potential for environment damage, especially if they are not wrapped with a moisture-proof barrier.
The paper storage environment should be properly maintained to ensure optimum printer performance. The required condition is 20 ° to 24 °C (68° to 75 °F), with a relative humidity of
45 % to 55 %. The following guidelines should be helpful when evaluating the paper’s storage environment:
• Paper should be stored at or near room temperature.
• The air should not be too dry or too humid (due to the hygroscopic properties of paper).
• The best way to store an opened ream of paper is to rewrap it tightly in its moisture-proof wrapping. If the printer environment is subject to extremes, unwrap only the amount of paper to be used during the day’s operation to prevent unwanted moisture changes.

Envelopes
Paper Specifications
Envelope construction is critical. Envelope fold lines can vary considerably, not only between manufacturers, but also within a box from the same manufacturer. Successful printing on envelopes depends upon the quality of the envelopes. When selecting envelopes, consider the following components:
• Weight: The weight of the envelope paper should not exceed
90 g/m 2 (24 lb) or jamming may occur.
• Construction: Prior to printing, envelopes should lie flat with less than 6 mm (0.25 in.) curl, and should not contain air.
• Condition: Envelopes should not be wrinkled, nicked, or otherwise damaged.
• Temperature: You should use envelopes that are compatible with the heat and pressure of the printer.
• Size: You should only use envelopes within the following size ranges.
Multi-Purpose
Tray
Minimum
90 X 148 mm
(3.5 X 5.83 in.)
Maximum
216 X 356 mm
(8.5 X 14 in.)
Notes:
• Use only the Multi-Purpose Tray to print envelopes.
• You may experience some paper jams when using any media with a length less than 148 mm (5.83 in.). This may be caused by paper that has been affected by environmental conditions. For optimum performance, make sure you are storing and handling the paper correctly.
Please refer to “Printer and Paper Storage Environment” on page A.6.

Paper Specifications
Envelopes with
Double Side Seams
Double side-seams construction has vertical seams at both ends of the envelope rather than diagonal seams. This style may be more likely to wrinkle. Be sure the seam extends all the way to the corner of the envelope as illustrated below.
Correct
Incorrect
Envelopes with
Adhesive Strips or
Flaps
Envelopes with a peel-off adhesive strip or with more than one flap that folds over to seal must use adhesives compatible with the heat and pressure in the printer. The extra flaps and strips might cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even damage the fuser.
Envelope Margins
The following gives typical address margins for a commercial
#10 or DL envelope.
Type of Address
Return address
Delivery address
Minimum
15 mm (0.6 in.)
51 mm (2 in.)
Maximum
15 mm (0.6 in.)
89 mm (3.5 in.)
Notes:
• For best print quality, position margins no closer than 15 mm (0.6 in.) from the edges of the envelope.
• Avoid printing over the area where the envelope’s seams meet.
Envelope Storage
Proper storage of envelopes helps contribute to print quality.
Envelopes should be stored flat. If air is trapped in an envelope, creating an air bubble, then the envelope may wrinkle during printing. See “Printing on Envelopes” on page 4.12.

Labels
CAUTIONS:
• To avoid damaging the printer, use only labels recommended for laser printers.
• To prevent serious jams, always use the Multi-Purpose Tray to print labels and always use the rear output tray.
• Never print on the same sheet of labels more than once and never print on a partial sheet of labels.
When selecting labels, consider the quality of each component:
• Adhesives: The adhesive material should be stable at
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
• Arrangement: Only use labels with no exposed backing between them. Labels can peel off sheets with spaces between the labels, causing serious jams.
• Curl: Prior to printing, labels must lie flat with no more than
13 mm (.5 in.) of curl in any direction.
• Condition: Do not use labels with wrinkles, bubbles, or other indications of separation.
See “Printing on Labels” on page 4.14.
Transparencies
Transparencies used in the printer must be able to withstand
200 °C (392 °F), the printer’s fusing temperature.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the printer, use only transparencies recommended for use in laser printers.
See “Printing on Transparencies” on page 4.15.

Frequently Asked Questions About USB
Universal Serial Bus (USB) makes it easy to connect devices to your computer without having to open your PC. USB uses a standard port and plug combination for connecting devices like printers, modems, scanners, and digital cameras. It also offers the benefit of being able to easily add, remove, and move devices.
Because USB is a relatively new technology, we recommended using a parallel printing connection. However, USB is an option to customers who want to print from Windows 98, Macintosh using a USB cable. If your computer’s USB port is enabled and properly setup, you can connect your printer to it or to a chain of USB devices via a USB cable.
1 In Windows 98, select Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel .
2 Double-click the System icon.
3 Click the Device Manager tab.
4 Click the plus (+) icon before the Universal Serial Bus
Controller item.
If you see a USB host controller and a USB root hub listed, USB is properly enabled. If you have multiple hubs on the USB chain, try connecting your printer to a different hub or to another USB device. Also, make sure the cable connections are firm. (USB hubs are hardware devices into which you can plug multiple USB cables.)
If you do not see these devices listed, refer to your computer’s documentation or contact the manufacturer for more information on enabling and setting up USB. Remember, you can always use a parallel cable to connect your printer’s parallel port to your computer. (If you decide to switch to a parallel cable connection, you may need to remove and reinstall the printer software.)

Frequently Asked Questions About USB
Q
Can other users on my USB chain print to my ML-1650 series printer?
Yes. Windows 98 allows you to “share” your printer using software settings on your computer. After others on the USB chain have installed the printer software for your specific printer, they can print to your shared printer.
After I install my printer, why isn’t my ML-1650 series printer assigned to an LPT printer port in the Print dialog box of my software application?
USB uses a different naming convention for USB devices. After the printer has been installed, you see SSUSB:(your printer name) instead of LPT .
How can I increase printing speed and quality?
When operated on a USB chain, your printer may become slower if other USB devices are being used while you’re printing.
For optimal print performance, avoid using other devices in the
USB chain while printing.

About Remote Control Panel for DOS
DOS users have access to many printer features through specific DOS printer drivers; however, many software manufactures do not develop printer drivers for their software programs. The Samsung ML-1650 series printer provides the
DOS software control panel for improved printer control when
DOS printer drivers are not available or when certain print settings are not available through DOS software programs.
Notes:
• ML-1650 series printer’s Remote Control Panel for DOS can be used when the printer is connected via the parallel interface.
• The ML-1650 series printer’s Remote Control Panel is not a printer driver. It should be used to set print settings that are not available through DOS sof tware programs. Printer drivers are supplied by the manufacturers of your DOS sof tware programs.
If your DOS sof tware program does not include a printer driver for your Samsung printer, contact the manufacturer of the sof tware program or use one of the alternate printer drivers.

Selecting Print Settings
CONFIG
• Power Save determines the length of time the printer waits after a job is printed before it goes to a reduced power state. If the printer is used frequently, select OFF which keeps the printer ready to print with the minimum warm-up time. This uses more electricity to keep the printer warm and ready to print.
• Econo Mode determines the toner quantity the printer should use when printing. If set to ON , the printer conserves toner when printing. The default value is OFF , which provides 100% usage.
• Auto Continue determines what action the printer should take when a manual feed print job is sent to the printer and there is no paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray. If set to ON , the printer will pick up the paper from the standard Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 after fifteen seconds. Otherwise, the printer will wait for you to load paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray.
• Jam Recovery determines what action the printer should take when a paper jam occurs. When set to OFF , the printer does not reprint a page that has jammed. When set to ON , the printer keeps the image in memory for a printed page until the printer signals that the page has successfully printed. The printer reprints all jammed pages.
JOB
