Printing Methods

Acceptable paper and other print media 1

Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.

You can use the following types of print media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper, glossy paper, labels or envelopes.

For best results, follow the instructions below:

 DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams

or misfeeds.

 For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in

the tray.

 Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing.

 Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable.

Page 28

Printing Methods

IMPORTANT

Handling and using special paper 1

The machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Store paper in its original packaging and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:

 DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may cause a paper jam or damage your machine.

 Preprinted paper must use ink that can withstand the temperature of the machine’s fusing process

200 degrees centigrade (392 degrees Fahrenheit).

 If you use bond paper, paper having a rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or creased, the paper may

exhibit degraded performance.

 When you are using glossy paper, put only one sheet at a time in the MP tray to avoid a paper jam.

Types of paper to avoid 1

Some types of paper may not perform well or may cause damage to your machine.

DO NOT use paper:

• that is highly textured

• that is extremely smooth or shiny

• that is curled or warped

1 A curl of 2 mm (0.08 in.) or greater may cause jams to occur.

• that is coated or has a chemical finish

• that is damaged, creased or folded

• that exceeds the recommended weight specification in this guide

• with tabs and staples

• with letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography

• that is multipart or carbonless

• that is designed for inkjet printing

If you use any of the types of paper listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage is not covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.

Page 29

Printing Methods

IMPORTANT

Envelopes 1

Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and print-quality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two sheets of paper. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. You should buy quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser machine.

We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want.

Types of envelopes to avoid 1

DO NOT use envelopes:

If you use any of the types of envelopes listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage may not be covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.

Labels 1

The machine will print on most types of labels designed for use with a laser machine. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based since this material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the machine, because the label stock may stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire length and width of the sheet. Using labels with spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jams or print problems.

All labels used in this machine must be able to withstand a temperature of 200 degrees centigrade (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for a period of 0.1 seconds.

Types of labels to avoid 1

Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.

• Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed because your machine will be damaged.

• Label sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in this User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and may cause damage to your machine.

• DO NOT reuse or insert labels that have previously been used or is missing few labels on the sheet.

Note

Print Quality 2

You can choose the following print quality settings.

 Normal (600 x 600 dpi)

600×600 dpi. Recommended for ordinary printing. Good print quality with reasonable print speeds.

 Fine (2400 dpi class)

2400 dpi class. The finest print mode. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since the print data is much larger than in normal mode, processing time / data transfer time and printing time will be longer.

The print speed will change depending on what print quality setting you choose. Higher print quality takes longer to print, while lower print quality takes less time to print.

Color/Mono 2

You can change the Color/Mono settings as follows:

 Auto

The machine checks the content of your documents for color. If color is detected, it prints in color. If no color content is detected, it prints in monochrome. The total printing speed may become slower.

 Color

When your document contains color and you want to print it in color, select this mode.

 Mono

Select this mode if your document has only black and gray scale text and/or objects. If your document contains color, selecting Mono mode prints your document in 256 levels of gray.

• Sometimes a document can contain color information even if it appears to be monochrome (for example, gray areas can actually be made from a combination of colors).

• If either the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a color document, the print job cannot be completed. You can choose to start the print job again in Mono mode, as long as black toner is available.

 Skip Blank Page

Color Calibration 2

The output density of each color may vary depending on the temperature and humidity of the environment the machine is in. This setting helps you to improve color density by letting the printer driver use the color calibration data stored in your machine.

 Use Calibration Data

If you check this box, the printer driver will use the calibration data retrieved from the machine to set color matching in the printer driver to ensure consistent print quality.

 Start Color Calibration...

If you click this button, your machine will start color calibration and then the printer driver will attempt to get the calibration data from your machine.

 Get Device Data Automatically

If you check this box, the printer driver will automatically get the color calibration data from your machine.

If you print by using the Direct Print feature or BR-Script printer driver, you need to perform the calibration from the control panel. See Color Calibration on page 83.

Use Reprint 2

The machine keeps the print job sent to it in memory. You can reprint the last job without sending the data again from your computer. For more information about the Reprint function, see Reprinting documents on page 69.

If you want to prevent other people from printing your data using the reprint function, uncheck the

Sleep Time 2

When the machine does not receive data for a certain period of time, it enters sleep mode. In sleep mode, the machine acts as though it were turned off. When you choose Printer Default, the timeout setting will be reset to the specific time set at the factory; this can be altered in the driver or at the machine. Intelligent Sleep Mode automatically adjusts to the most suitable timeout setting depending on the frequency of your machine use.

While the machine is in sleep mode, the Back light is off and the LCD shows Sleep, but the machine can still receive data. Receiving a print file or document or pressing Go will automatically wake up the machine to start printing.

Improve Print Output 2

This feature allows you to improve a print quality problem.

 Reduce Paper Curl

If you choose this setting, the paper curl may be reduced.

If you are printing only a few pages, you do not need to choose this setting. We recommend that you change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thin setting.

This operation makes the temperature of the machine’s fusing process lower.

 Improve Toner Fixing

If you choose this setting, the toner fixing on paper may be improved. If this selection does not provide enough improvement, change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thick setting.

This operation makes the temperature of the machine’s fusing process higher.

Skip Blank Page 2
