please remember the following: |
|
■The side to be printed on must be face up.
■Put the leading edge (top of the paper) in first and push it gently into the slot.
■Make sure that the paper 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 or envelope in the manual feed slot at a time, or you may cause the machine to jam.
■You can remove smaller sizes of printed paper from the output paper tray more easily if you lift the scanner cover, using both hands, as shown in the illustration.

How can I load envelopes? |
You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your application software must |
|
be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page |
|
Setup or Document Setup menu of your software. You should refer to the manual |
|
provided with your software application. |
|
|
What paper can I use? |
You can use plain paper, recycled paper, envelopes, transparencies and labels |
|
that are made for laser machines. (For information on paper you can use, see |

|
How can I clear paper jams? |
See Paper jams on page 6-4. |

Print Quality Difficulties |
|

|
Printed pages are curled. |
Low quality thin or thick paper can cause this problem. Make sure you select the |
|
Paper Type that suits the media type you use. (See About paper on page 1-6.) |
|
|
Printed pages are smeared. |
The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are |

using—OR—The print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. |
|
(See About paper on page 1-6 and Basic tab in the Software User’s Guide on the |

CD-ROM.) |
|
|
Printouts are too light. |
If your machine is not connected to a computer, turn off Toner Save mode in the |

machine’s menu setting. (See Toner Save on page 2-2.) |
|
Set Toner Save mode to off in the Advanced tab in the printer driver. |
|
(See Advanced tab in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.) |

4When you find the substance on the drum surface that matches the print sample, gently dab the surface of the OPC drum with a cotton swab that is lightly dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
Do not use a scrubbing or wiping motion because this might damage the drum.
Do not try to clean the surface of the OPC drum with a sharp object, such as a ball-point pen, because this might cause permanent damage to the drum unit.
If the print quality still has not improved you need to install a new drum. (See Replacing the drum unit (DR-2000) on page 6-23.)

Recommendation
Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications. (See About paper on page 1-6.)
If you use label sheets for laser printers, the glue from the sheets may sometimes stick to the OPC drum surface. Clean the drum unit. (See Cleaning the drum unit on page 6-12.)
Do not use paper that has clips or staples because they will scratch the surface of the drum.
If the unpacked drum unit is in direct sunlight or room light, the unit may be damaged.
The drum unit may be damaged. Put in a new drum unit. (See Replacing the drum unit (DR-2000) on page 6-23.)
Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications. A rough surfaced paper or thick print media can cause the problem. (See About paper on page 1-6.)

The toner cartridge can print up to 2,500 pages. When the toner cartridge is running low, the LCD shows Toner Low. The machine is supplied with a starter toner cartridge that must be replaced after approximately 1,500 pages. Actual page count will vary depending on your average type of document (i.e., standard letter, detailed graphics).
Note
It is a good idea to keep a new toner cartridge ready for use when you see the Toner Low warning.
Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste. You can also check our ecology website www.brothergreen.co.uk for recycling information. Be sure to seal the toner cartridge tightly so toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office.
We recommend that you clean the machine and drum unit when you replace the toner cartridge. (See Cleaning the laser scanner window on page 6-18 and Cleaning the corona wire on page 6-19.)
WARNING
Just after you use the machine, some internal parts of the machine will be extremely HOT! Never touch the shaded parts shown in the illustration.
1Open the front cover and pull out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
CAUTION

2Hold down the lock lever on the left and pull the toner cartridge out of the drum unit.
CAUTION
■Place the drum unit on a drop cloth or large piece of disposable paper to avoid spilling and scattering the toner.
■Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, immediately wipe it off or wash it with cold water.
3Unpack the new toner cartridge. Place the used toner cartridge into the aluminium bag and discard it according to local regulations.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance
CAUTION
■Brother printers are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and work to a level of optimum
performance when used with genuine |
|
Brother toner cartridges (TN-2000). |
|
Brother cannot guarantee this optimum |
|
performance if toner or toner cartridges |
|
of other specifications are used. |
|
Brother does not therefore recommend |
|
the use of cartridges other than Brother |
|
cartridges with this printer, or the |
|
refilling of empty cartridges with toner |
|
from other sources. If damage is |
|
caused to the drum unit or other part of |
6 |
this machine as a result of the use of |
|
toner or toner cartridges other than |
|
genuine Brother products due to the |
|
incompatibility or lack of suitability of |
|
those products with this machine, any |
|
repairs required as a result may not be |
|
covered by the warranty. |
|
■Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it in the machine. If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long period of time, the toner life is shortened.
6 - 21
Chapter 6
CAUTION
Do not touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations to prevent any degradation to the print quality.
5 Remove the protective cover.
6Insert the new toner cartridge in the drum unit until it clicks into place. If you put it in properly, the lock lever will lift automatically.
4Gently rock the toner cartridge from side to side five or six times to distribute the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
7Clean the primary corona wire inside the drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab from right to left several times. Return the blue tab to the Home position (▼) before reinstalling the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
8Install the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly into the machine.
9 Close the front cover.

The machine uses a drum unit to create print images on paper. If the LCD shows Change Drum Soon, the drum unit is near the end of its life and it is time to buy a new one.
Even if the LCD shows Change Drum Soon, you may be able to continue printing without having to replace the drum unit for a while.
However, if there is a noticeable deterioration in the output print quality (even before Change Drum Soon appears), then the drum unit should be replaced. You should clean the machine when you replace the drum unit. (See Cleaning the laser scanner window on page 6-18.)
CAUTION
When removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it contains toner. If toner scatters and your hands or clothes get dirty, immediately wipe or wash with cold water.
Note
The drum unit is a consumable item, and it is necessary to replace it periodically. There are many factors that determine the drum life, such as temperature, humidity, type of paper and how much toner you use for the number of pages per print job. The estimated drum life is up to 12,000 pages. The actual number of pages your drum will print may be significantly less than these estimates. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.
