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

Page 8

Printing Methods

Note

Types of envelopes 1

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.

• 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.

 Print Quality

Note

You can choose the following print quality settings.

•Normal

Driver and Software

600 dpi class. Recommended for ordinary printing. Good print quality with good print speeds.

•Fine

2400 dpi class. The finest print mode. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since the print data is much larger than in normal mode, processing time, data transfer time and printing time will be longer.

• The print speed will change depending on what print quality setting you choose. Higher print quality takes longer to print, while lower print quality takes less time to print.

 Color/Mono

You can change the Color/Mono settings as follows:

• Color

When your document contains color and you want to print it in color, select this mode.

• Mono

Select this mode if your document has only black and grayscale text and/or objects. Mono mode makes the print processing speed faster than color mode. If your document contains color, selecting Mono mode prints your document in 256 levels of gray.

•Auto

If the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life, choosing Mono will allow you to keep printing as long as the Black toner does not reach the end of its life.

 Toner Save Mode

You can conserve toner use with this feature. When you set Toner Save Mode to On, print appears lighter. The default setting is Off.

We do not recommend Toner Save for printing Photo or Gray Scale images.

 Reverse Printing (Mac OS X 10.4.x only)

Check Reverse Print to rotate the data by 180 degrees.

This operation make the temperature of the printer’s fusing process lower.

• Improve Toner Fixing

If you choose this setting, the toner fixing on paper may be improved. If this selection does not provide enough improvement, select Thicker paper in Media type settings.

This operation make the temperature of the printer’s fusing process upper.

 Sleep Time

When the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time, it enters sleep mode. In sleep mode, the printer acts as though it were turned off. When you choose Printer Default the timeout setting has been set to a specific time set at the factory, this can be altered in the driver or at the printer. If you want to change the sleep time, choose Manual and then enter the time in the text box on the driver.
