Before Using Your Machine

Before attempting any printing operation, confirm the following:
• Make sure you have installed the Brother software and drivers.
• For USB or network cable users: Make sure the interface cable is physically secure.
Selecting the correct type of paper
For high quality printing, it is important to select the correct type of paper. Be sure to read the information about acceptable paper before buying paper, and to determine the printable area depending on the settings in the printer driver.
Simultaneous printing, scanning and faxing
Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax into memory or while scanning a document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during printing from your computer. However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the printing operation, and then continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.
DCP models do not support the fax feature.
Firewall (Windows®)
If your computer is protected by a firewall and you are unable to network print, network scan, or PC-FAX, you may need to configure the firewall settings. If you are using the Windows® Firewall and you installed the drivers
using the steps in the installer, the necessary firewall settings have been already set. If you are using any other personal firewall software, see the User's Guide for your software or contact the software manufacturer.

Acceptable Paper and Other Print Media

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.
To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.
You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, recycled paper and envelopes.
We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.
For best results, use Brother paper.
• When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper) and glossy paper, be sure to choose the proper print media in the Basic tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting on the machine.
• When you print on Brother Photo paper, load one extra sheet of the same photo paper in the paper tray.
• When using photo paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.
• Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

About Envelopes
• Use envelopes that weigh from 80 to 95 gsm.
• Some envelope sizes require that you set margins in the application. Make sure you do a test print first before printing many envelopes.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use envelopes that:
• Are loosely constructed
• Have windows
• Are embossed (have raised writing on them)
• Have clasps or staples
• Are pre-printed on the inside
• Are self-adhesive
• Have double flaps
Self-adhesive
You may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.
• Before loading envelopes in the tray, press the flaps, edges and corners to make them as flat as possible, as shown in the illustrations.
Double flaps
Fan the stack of envelopes well to avoid paper jams and misfeeds.

Basic Tab
1. Media Type
Select the type of media you want to use. To achieve the best print results, the machine automatically adjusts its print settings according to the selected media type.
Slow Drying Paper
Select this option if you use a type of plain paper on which ink dries slowly. This option may cause slight blurring of the text.
2. Print Quality
Select the print resolution you want. Because print quality and speed are related, the higher the quality, the longer it will take to print the document.
3. Paper Size
Select the size of the paper you want to use. You can either choose from standard paper sizes or create a custom paper size.
Borderless
Select this option to print photos without borders. Because the image data is created slightly larger than the paper size you are using, this will cause some cropping of the photo edges.
You may not be able to select the Borderless option for some combinations of media type and quality, or from some applications.
