Printing Methods

Types of envelopes to avoid 2

Do not use envelopes:

 that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or unusual shape

 that are extremely shiny or textured

 with clasps, 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 printer

 that are pre-printed on the inside

 that cannot be arranged when put in a pile

 that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the printer

 that have been badly made, with edges that are not straight or consistently square

2

 with windows, holes, cutouts or perforations

IF YOU USE ANY OF THE TYPES OF ENVELOPES LISTED ABOVE, THEY MAY DAMAGE YOUR PRINTER. THIS
DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY BROTHER WARRANTY OR SERVICE AGREEMENT.

Note

• Do not put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or
misfeeds.

• Do not print envelopes using duplex printing.

• For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in
the tray.

•See What kind of paper can I use? on page 4.

Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes will have feed and print-quality
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 pieces 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 printer. Before you print a lot of envelopes, test
one to make sure that the print results are what you want.

Note

Brother will not recommend a particular envelope because envelope manufacturers may change the
envelope specifications. You are responsible for the quality and performance of the envelopes you use.

16

Printing Methods

Duplex Printing 2

The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 98/Me, Windows® 2000/XP and Windows Vista® all allow manual
duplex printing. For more information about how to choose the settings, see the Help text in the printer driver.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper 2

 If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

 If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the manual feed slot.

 If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.

 When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.

If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams and how to clear them on page 61.

Printing on both sides of the paper (manual duplex printing) 2

Note

You should use plain paper and recycled paper. Do not use bond paper.

2

Manual duplex printing from the paper tray 2

a From the Advanced tab choose the Manual Duplex printing mode, and from the Basic tab choose the

Paper Source to be Auto Select or Tray1.

b The printer will automatically print all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first.
c Remove the printed even-numbered pages from the output tray and put them back in the paper tray,

placing the paper with the side that is going to be printed on (blank side) face down. Follow the
instructions on the computer screen.

17

Printing Methods

d The printer will now automatically print all the odd-numbered pages on the other side of the paper.

Note

When you put paper in the paper tray, first empty the tray then put the printed pages in the tray, with the
printed side face up. (Do not add the printed pages to the top of a stack of unprinted paper.)

Manual duplex printing from the manual feed slot 2

Note

You should not use very thin or very thick paper.

a From the Advanced tab choose the Manual Duplex printing mode, and from the Basic tab choose the

Paper Source to be Manual feed.

b Using both hands put the paper in the manual feed slot with the side that is going to be printed on first

facing up. Follow the instructions on the computer screen. Repeat this step until you have printed all the
even-numbered pages.

2

c Remove the printed even-numbered pages from the output tray and put them back into the manual feed

Printing Methods

Paper orientation for manual duplex printing 2

The printer prints the second page first.

If you print 10 pages on 5 sheets of paper, it will print page 2 then page 1 on the first sheet of paper.

It will print page 4 then page 3 on the second sheet of paper.

It will print page 6 then page 5 on the third sheet of paper, and so on.

When doing manual duplex printing, the paper must be put in the paper tray in the following way:

 For the manual feed slot:

• Put the side to be printed on first, face-up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.

• To print the second side, put the paper face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.

• If letterhead paper is used, this would be put in with the heading face down, and in first.

• To print the second side, put the heading face up and in first.

 For the paper tray:

2

• Put the side to be printed on first, face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of the
tray.

• To print the second side, put the paper face up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of
the tray.
