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

1

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.

Note

Put the paper into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up.

Make sure that the paper is straight and in the correct position on the manual feed slot. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.

Pull the paper out completely when you retry putting the paper into the manual feed slot.

Do not put more than one piece of paper in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it may cause a jam.

If you put paper or other print media in the manual feed slot before the printer is in the Ready state, an error may occur and the printer will stop printing.

When the back output tray is pulled down, the printer has a straight paper path from the manual feed slot

 

through to the back of the printer. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on thick

 

paper, labels or envelopes. (For the recommended paper to use, see About paper on page 1 and Types of

 

envelopes on page 3.)

 

a Open the back cover (back output tray).

b Open the manual feed slot cover.

c <For printing envelopes only>

Pull down the two gray levers, one on the left-hand side and one on the right-hand side, toward you as shown in the illustration below.

• To use the BR-Script printer driver for Windows® you must install the driver using the Custom Install

from the CD-ROM.

When you use Envelope #10, choose Com-10 for the Paper Size.

For other envelopes which are not listed in the printer driver, such as Envelope #9 or Envelope C6, choose User Defined... (for Windows® printer driver), PostScript Custom Page Size (for BR-Script printer driver for Windows®) or Custom Page Sizes (for Macintosh printer driver). For more information on envelope sizes, see Paper size on page 171.

g Send the print data to the printer.

h After the LCD shows Manual Feed, put in the next sheet of paper or envelope as shown in step e. Repeat for each page that you want to print.

i <For printing envelopes only>

When you have finished printing, reset the two gray levers which are pulled down at step c back to the original position.

Note

The LCD will show Manual Feed until a sheet of paper or an envelope is put in the manual feed slot.

Remove each sheet or envelope at once after printing. Stacking the sheets or envelopes may cause the paper to jam or curl.

16

Printing Methods

Note

• If envelopes get smudged during printing set the Media Type to Thick Paper or Thicker Paper to 1 increase the fixing temperature.

If the envelopes are creased after they are printed, see Improving the print quality on page 153.

(For Windows® users) If DL size double flap envelopes are creased after printing, choose DL Long Edge in Paper Size, from the Basic tab. Put a new DL size double-flap envelope in the manual feed slot with the longest edge of the envelope in first, then print again.

Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.

All sides of the envelope should be properly folded without wrinkles or creases.

17

Printing Methods

Duplex printing

1

The supplied printer drivers all enable 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

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 146. If you have a print quality problem, see Improving the print quality on page 153.)

Note

The screens in this section are from Windows® XP. The screens on your computer may vary depending on your operating system.

Make sure that the paper tray is completely inserted into the printer.
