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 tray2
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.
• To easily remove a small printout from the
output tray, lift up the scanner cover by
using both hands as shown in the

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
paper2
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 avoid2
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.

Chapter 2
IMPORTANT
Envelopes2
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 avoid2
• 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
