Loading paper and print media 2

The machine can feed paper from the standard paper tray or manual feed slot.
When you put paper into the paper tray, note the following:
If your application software supports
paper size selection on the print menu, you can select it through the software. If your application software does not support it, you can set the paper size in the printer driver or by using the control panel buttons.

Loading paper in the standard paper tray 2

You can load up to 250 sheets. Paper can be loaded up to the maximum paper mark (b b b) on the sliding paper with guide. (For recommended paper to use, see Paper capacity of the paper trays on page 18.)

• Put the paper into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up.
• Make sure that the print media is straight and in the proper position on the manual feed slot. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
• Do not put more than one sheet of paper in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it may cause a jam.
• If you put any print media in the manual feed slot before the machine is in Ready mode, the print media may be ejected without being printed on.

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 the paper is suitable.

Handling and using special paper 2

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 392 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade).
If you use bond paper, paper having a
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or creased, the paper may exhibit degraded performance.
Types of paper to avoid 2
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 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
2
• 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.
19
Chapter 2
IMPORTANT
Envelopes 2
Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and print­quality 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.
Envelopes can be fed from the manual feed slot one at a time. We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want before you print or purchase a large quantity of envelopes.
Types of envelopes to avoid 2
• with edges that are not straight or consistently square
• with windows, holes, cut-outs or perforations
• with glue on surface as shown in figure below
• with double flaps as shown in figure below
DO NOT use envelopes:
• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape
• that are extremely shiny or textured
• with clasps, staples, snaps or tie strings
• with self-adhesive closures
• that are of a baggy construction
• that are not sharply creased
• that are embossed (have raised writing on them)
• that were previously printed by a laser machine
• that are pre-printed on the inside
• that cannot be arranged neatly when stacked
• that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the machine
• with sealing flaps that are not folded down when purchased
• with sealing flaps as shown in figure below
• with each side folded as shown in figure below
