CAUTION
Recommended media2
To get the best print quality, we suggest using
the following paper.
keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and
away from moisture, direct sunlight and
heat.
Avoid touching either side of
transparencies, as this can decrease the
print quality.
Only use transparencies recommended
for laser printing.
Only use sharply creased envelopes.
Improper Setup
Do not use any of the following paper, as
they will cause paper feed problems:
damaged, coated, curled, wrinkled, highly
textured, irregularly shaped, or paper that

Paper Handling Difficulties
DifficultiesSuggestions
The machine does not load paper.
The LCD shows No Paper or a
Paper Jam message.
The machine does not feed paper
from the MP tray.
I need to know how to load
envelopes.
I need to know which paper is good
to use.
There is a paper jam.See Paper jams on page 60.
If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.
If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,
you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the
stack over and put it back into the paper tray.
Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
Check that the MP tray mode is not selected in the printer driver.
If the LCD shows a Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see
Paper jams on page 60.
Fan the paper well and put it back in the tray firmly.
Make sure that MP tray mode is chosen in the printer driver.
You can load envelopes from the MP tray. Your application 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 application. See your application’s manual for
more information.
You can use plain paper, recycled paper, envelopes, transparencies and labels
that are made for laser machines. (For details, see Acceptable paper and other media on page 9.)

Troubleshooting and routine maintenance
Print Quality Difficulties
DifficultiesSuggestions
Printed pages are curled. Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the
paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the
paper tray.
Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the media type you are
using. (See Acceptable paper and other media on page 9.)
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 Acceptable
paper and other media on page 9 and Basic tab in the Software User’s Guide on
the CD-ROM.)
Printouts are too light. If this problem occurs when making copies turn Toner Save mode to off in the
machine menu setting. (See Toner save on page 17.)
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.)
Network Difficulties (DCP–8065DN only)
DifficultiesSuggestions
Cannot print over a wired Network. Make sure your machine is powered on and is on-line and in Ready mode.
The network scanning feature
does not work.
Your computer cannot find your
machine.
Print the Network Configuration list to see your current Network settings.
Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to verify that the cabling and network
connections are good. If possible, try connecting the machine to a different
port on your hub using a different cable. If the connections are good, the
upper LED of the back panel of the machine will be green.

Replacing the toner cartridge
(TN-3130/TN-3170)C
The TN-3170 toner cartridge can print
approximately 7,000 pages using a high yield
toner cartridge. When the toner cartridge is
running low, the LCD shows Toner Low.
The machine is supplied with a standard TN3130 toner cartridge that must be replaced
after approximately 3,500 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 up the
toner cartridge tightly so that toner powder
does not spill out of the cartridge. If you have
questions, call your local waste disposal
office.
Replacing the toner cartridge C
After you have just used the machine, some
internal parts of the machine will be
extremely hot. When you open the front or
back cover of the machine, DO NOT touch
the shaded parts shown in the illustration.
HOT SURFACE
a Open the front cover and take out the
drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
We recommend that you clean the machine
and corona wire of the drum unit when you
replace the toner cartridge. (See Cleaning the
laser scanner window on page 66 and
Cleaning the corona wire on page 68.)
70
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the machine from
static electricity, DO NOT touch the
electrodes shown in the illustration.
b Hold down the lock lever on the right and
take the toner cartridge out of the drum
unit.
DO NOT put a toner cartridge into a fire. It
could explode, resulting in injuries.
WARNING
CAUTION
Put 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, wipe or
wash it off with cold water at once.
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–3130/TN–3170). 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 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.
Unpack the toner cartridge just before you
put it in the machine. If a toner cartridge is
left unpacked for a long time, the toner life
will be shortened.
DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in
the illustrations to prevent any degradation
to the print quality.
71
c Unpack the new toner cartridge. Put the
used toner cartridge into the aluminium
bag and discard it according to local
regulations.
d Gently rock the toner cartridge from side
to side five or six times to spread the
toner evenly inside the cartridge.
e Pull off the protective cover.
g Clean the primary corona wire inside the
drum unit by gently sliding the blue tab
from left to right and right to left several
times. Be sure to return the blue tab to
the home position (b).
h Put the drum unit and toner cartridge
assembly back in the machine.
i Close the front cover.
f Put the new toner cartridge firmly into
the drum unit until you hear it lock into
place. If you put it in properly, the lock
lever will lift automatically.
72
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance
Replacing the drum unit
(DR-3100)C
The machine uses a drum unit to create print
images on paper. If the LCD shows Drum Near End, the drum unit is near the end of its
life and it is time to buy a new one.
Even if the LCD shows Drum Near End, 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 Drum Near End 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 66.)
While removing the drum unit, handle it
carefully because it may contain toner. If
toner scatters on your hands or clothes,
wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.
CAUTION
HOT SURFACE
After you have just used the machine, some
internal parts of the machine will be
extremely hot. When you open the front or
back cover of the machine, DO NOT touch
the shaded parts shown in the illustration.
a Open the front cover and take out the
drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
Note
The drum unit is a consumable item, and
it is necessary to replace it periodically.
There are many factors that determine the
actual 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
approximately 25,000 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.
73
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the printer from static
electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes
shown in the illustration.
b Hold down the lock lever on the right and
take the toner cartridge out of the drum
unit.
CAUTION
Unpack the drum unit just before you put it
in the machine. Put the old drum unit into
the plastic bag.
c Unpack the new drum unit.
d Put the toner cartridge firmly into the
new drum unit until you hear it lock into
place. If you put it in properly, the lock
lever will lift automatically.
e Put the drum unit and toner cartridge
assembly back in the machine.
Do not close the front cover.
Note
Discard the used drum unit according to
local regulations, keeping it separate from
domestic waste. Be sure to seal up the
drum unit tightly so that toner powder does
not spill out of the unit. If you have
questions, call your local waste disposal
office.
