Acceptable paper and
other print media2
Print quality may vary according to the type of
paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print
media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper,
bond paper, recycled paper, labels or
envelopes.
For best results, follow the instructions below:
DO NOT put different types of paper in the
paper tray at the same time because it
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
For correct printing, you must choose the
same paper size from your software
application as the paper in the tray.
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.

moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
Some important guidelines when selecting
paper are:
DO NOT use paper:
• that is highly textured
• that is extremely smooth or shiny
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).

• with tabs and staples
• with letterheads using low temperature
dyes or thermography
• that is multipart or carbonless
• that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listed,
they may damage your machine. This
damage is not covered under any Brother
warranty or service agreement.
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.
Types of envelopes to avoid2
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 edges that are not straight or
consistently square
• with windows, holes, cut-outs or
perforations
• with glue on surface as shown in figure
below

Envelopes can be fed from 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.

Chapter 2
IMPORTANT
• with double flaps as shown in figure
below
• 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
Labels2
The machine will print on most types of labels
designed for use with a laser machine. Labels
should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based
since this material is more stable at the high
temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives
should not come in contact with any part of
the machine, because the label stock may
stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause
jams and print quality problems. No adhesive
should be exposed between the labels.
Labels should be arranged so that they cover
the entire length and width of the sheet. Using
labels with spaces may result in labels
peeling off and causing serious jams or print
problems.
All labels used in this machine must be able
to withstand a temperature of 392 degrees
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a
period of 0.1 seconds.
Do not feed a label sheet through the
machine more than one time.
Types of labels to avoid2
If you use any of the types of envelopes
listed above, they may damage your
machine. This damage may not be
covered under any Brother warranty or
service agreement.
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,
wrinkled or an unusual shape.
• DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The
exposed carrier sheet will damage your
machine.
• Label sheets should not exceed the paper
weight specifications described in this
User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this
specification may not feed or print
correctly and may cause damage to your
machine.
• DO NOT insert labels that have previously
been used, or have any labels missing
from the sheet.

Note
b Slowly take out the drum unit and toner
cartridge assembly.
We recommend that you place the drum
unit and toner cartridge assembly on a
clean, flat surface with a sheet of
disposable paper or cloth underneath it in
case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.
Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner
scatters on your hands or clothes, wipe or
wash it off with cold water at once.
To prevent damage to the machine caused
by static electricity, DO NOT touch the
electrodes shown in the illustration.
c Clean the corona wire inside the drum
unit by gently sliding the green tab from
right to left and left to right several times.

Cleaning the drum unitA
If you have print quality problems, the drum
may have foreign material, such as glue from
a label stuck on the drum surface. Follow the
steps below to solve the problem.
a Prepare blank A4 or Letter size paper.
b Make sure the machine is in Ready
mode.
c Open the back cover (face-up output
tray).
f Using both hands, slide the manual feed
paper guides to the width of the paper
that you are going to use.
g Using both hands, put one piece of A4 or
Letter size paper in the manual feed slot
until the top edge of the paper touches
the paper feed roller. When you feel the
machine pull in the paper, let go. The
machine will start the Drum Cleaning
process.
d Open the manual feed slot cover.
e Press Clear and Menu at the same
time. The Drum Cleaning message
will appear on the LCD.
44
Note
• The machine makes a mechanical noise
WARNING
during the Drum Cleaning process
because the machine rotates the OPC
drum in reverse. This noise is not due to a
malfunction of the machine.
• 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 the paper in the manual feed slot is other
than A4 or Letter size, the machine will
stop the Drum Cleaning process and eject
the paper.
• Make sure that the paper is straight and in
the correct position in the manual feed
slot. If it is not, it may not be fed correctly,
resulting in a paper jam.
• DO NOT close the back cover (face-up
output tray) during the Drum Cleaning
process. The machine will stop the Drum
Cleaning process and eject the paper. It
may cause a jam.
• If the machine receives a print job before
you put one piece of paper in the manual
feed slot, the machine stops the Drum
Cleaning process and print the print job.
h When the machine has finished
cleaning, the machine returns to the
Ready mode.

Improving the print qualityB
If you have a print quality problem, make a copy first (put a document on the scanner glass and
press Start). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the
interface cable connections or try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed
from the machine has a quality problem, check the following steps first. And then, if you still have
a print quality problem, check the chart below and follow the recommendations.
Brother does not recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges or the
refilling of used cartridges with toner from other sources.
a To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. Check that you use
paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other print media
on page 17.)
b Check that the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly is installed correctly.
