Loading envelopes and post cards
About envelopes

Use envelopes that weigh between 75 to 95 gsm.

Some envelopes need margin settings to be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first before printing many envelopes.

CAUTION

DO NOT use any of the following types of envelopes, as they will cause paper feed problems:

If they are of a baggy construction.

That are embossed (have raised writing on them).

That have clasps or staples.

That are pre-printed on the inside.

Glue

Double flap

 

 

Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.

Brother DCP-145C, DCP-185C User Manual

How to load envelopes and postcards

a Before loading, press the corners and sides of envelopes or post cards to make them as flat as possible.

Note

If envelopes or post cards are ‘doublefeeding’, put one envelope in the paper tray at a time.

b Put envelopes or post cards into the paper tray with the address side down and the leading edge (top of the envelopes) in first. With both hands, gently press and slide the paper side guides (1) and paper length guide (2) to fit the size of the envelopes or post cards.

the envelope or to the back edge of the

 

envelope when printing.

Acceptable paper and other print media

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use the Brother paper.

When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to choose the correct print media in the ‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu.

When you print on Brother Photo paper, load one extra sheets of the same photo paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package for this purpose.

When you use transparencies or photo paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

Loading documents and paper

Recommended print media

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.)

If Brother paper is not available in your

2

country, we recommend testing various

papers before purchasing large quantities.

 

We recommend using ‘3M Transparency

 

Film’ when you print on transparencies.

Chapter 2

Handling and using print media

Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of photo paper. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down.

Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

You can only print on both sides of the paper with PC printing. See Printing for Windows® in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

Improper Setup

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 2 mm or greater

Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

Paper made with a short grain

14

Paper capacity of the output paper tray

Up to 50 sheets of 20 lb Letter or 80 gsm A4 paper.

Transparencies or photo paper must be picked up from the output paper tray one page at a time to avoid smudging.
