Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable.

Use paper that is made for plain-paper copying.

Use paper that is 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb).

Use neutral paper. Do not use acidic or alkaline paper.

Use long-grain paper.

Use paper with a moisture content of approximately 5%.

This printer can use recycled paper that meets DIN 19309 specifications.

IMPORTANT

•DO NOT use ink jet paper because it may cause a paper jam or damage your printer.

•If you use paper that is not recommended, a paper jam or misfeed may occur in the printer.

Note

•Preprinted paper must use ink that can withstand the temperature of the printer's fusing process (200 degrees centigrade).

•If you use bond paper, paper having a rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or creased, the paper may exhibit degraded performance.

(To help you choose which paper to use with this printer, see Important information for choosing your paper on page 169.)

Printing Methods

Types of envelopes

Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes may have feed and print quality

problems due to the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, wellcreased 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.

Brother does 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.

Do not use damaged, curled, wrinkled, irregularly shaped, extremely shiny or textured envelopes.

Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, tie strings, self-adhesive components, windows, holes, cutouts or perforations.

Do not use envelopes that are of a baggy construction, not sharply creased, embossed (have raised writing on them) or pre-printed on the inside.

Do not use envelopes that were previously printed by a laser / LED printer.

Do not use envelopes that cannot be arranged when put in a pile.

Do not use envelopes that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the printer.

Do not use envelopes that have been badly made, with edges that are not straight or consistently square.

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.

•You must choose the same paper size from your application as the paper in the tray.
