Safety precautions

To use the printer safely

WARNING

There are high voltage electrodes inside the printer. Before you clean the inside of the printer or replace parts, make sure that you have turned off the power switch and unplugged the printer from the AC power outlet.

DO NOT handle the plug with wet hands. Doing this might cause an electrical shock.

The fuser unit becomes extremely hot during operation. Wait until it has cooled down sufficiently before replacing consumable items. DO NOT remove or damage the caution label located on or around the fuser.

DO NOT use a vacuum cleaner to clean up scattered toner. Doing this might cause the toner dust to ignite inside the vacuum cleaner, potentially starting a fire. Carefully clean the toner dust with a dry, lint-free cloth and dispose of it according to local regulations.

DO NOT use flammable substances or any type of spray to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Doing this may cause a fire or electrical shock.

If the printer becomes hot, blows smoke, or generates an obscure odor, immediately turn off the power switch and unplug the printer from the AC power outlet. Call your Brother dealer or Brother Customer Service.

If metal objects, water or other liquids get inside the printer, immediately turn off the power switch and unplug the printer from the AC power outlet. Call your Brother dealer or Brother Customer Service.

This printer is heavy and weighs approximately 64.2 lb (29.1 kg). To prevent injuries when moving or lifting this printer, make sure to use at least two people. Be careful not to pinch your fingers when you set the printer back down.

 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.

(To help you choose which paper to use with this printer, see Important information for choosing your paper on page 177.)

Printing Methods

Types of envelopes 2

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 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.

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 MP tray.

 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.

• The screens in this section are from Windows

2003/Windows Server® 2003 x64 Edition and Mac OS® X 10.2.4 or greater all enable duplex printing.

(If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams and how to clear them on page 147. If you have a print quality problem, see Improving the print quality on page 160.)

Note

XP. The screens on your computer may vary depending

on your operating system.

• Use Letter, Legal or Folio size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function.

• Make sure that the back cover is closed.

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

• If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.

• You should use plain paper, recycled paper or thin paper. Do not use bond paper.

Manual duplex printing 2

 The BR-Script printer driver (PostScript® 3™ emulation) does not support manual duplex printing.

 If you are using the Macintosh

Printer Driver, see Duplex Printing on page 56.

Manual duplex printing from the paper tray 2

a In the printer driver choose the Advanced tab, click the Duplex icon, and then choose the

Manual Duplex printing mode, and from the Basic tab choose the Paper Source to be Tray1.

b Send the data to the printer.

The printer will automatically print all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first.

Printing Methods

c Remove the printed even-numbered pages from the output tray and put them back in the paper tray with

the side to be printed on (blank side) face down. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.

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

Note

• If you choose the Paper Source to be Auto Select, put the printed even-numbered pages in the MP tray.

• When you put paper in the paper tray, first empty the tray. Next, 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 MP tray 2

Note

Before putting the sheets back in the MP tray, you will have to straighten them, or you may get paper jams.

a In the printer driver choose the Advanced tab, click the Duplex icon, then choose the Manual Duplex

printing mode, and then from the Basic tab choose the Paper Source to be MP Tray.

b Put the paper in the MP tray with the side 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.

Printing Methods

c Remove the printed even-numbered pages from the output tray and then, in the same order, put them

back into the MP tray. Put the paper with the side to be printed on (the blank side) face up. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.

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

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 and then page 1 on the first sheet of paper. It will print page 4 and then page 3 on the second sheet of paper. It will print page 6 and 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 paper tray:

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

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

• If letterhead paper is used, put the paper in the tray with the heading face up at the front of the tray.

• To print on the second side, put the heading face down at the front of the tray.

 For the multi-purpose tray (MP tray):

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

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

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

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