Selecting Print Media
The type of media you select affects the performance and print quality.
Selecting Media Types
Most photocopy paper, postcards, index cards, transparencies, envelopes,
and labels will work your printer, particularly paper that is marked for
use in laser printers. For the best results, use one of the papers
developed especially for an laser printer.
What to Consider
•
Desired outcome.
The paper you choose should be appropriate for
the project. For example, use greeting card paper when making party
invitations.
•
Size.
Choose any size paper that fits easily within the paper adjusters
of the printer.
•
Weight.
Use 20~24-pound or 75~90 g/m
2
plain paper for
multipurpose, everyday use.
•
Brightness.
Some papers are whiter than others and produce sharper,
more vibrant colors. Use premium photo paper for documents with
photographs. Use white paper for documents with any other pictures.
•
Surface smoothness.
The smoothness of the paper affects how crisp
the printing looks on the paper. Glossy, coated paper works well for
pictures and charts where you want crisp lines.
Get the Right Paper
Your Samsung SF-530 series is designed to work well on most common
office paper types and with quality 25% cotton bond paper. Because your
printer uses toner to produce an image, paper that accepts toner
produces the best results. Be sure to test a variety of paper types before
buying large quantities.
