Safety precautions
WARNING
To use the printer safely
If you DO NOT follow these safety instructions, there is a possibility of a fire, electrical shock, burn or
suffocation. Please keep these instructions for later reference and read them before attempting any
maintenance.
There are high voltage electrodes inside the printer. Before you clean the inside of the printer, 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.
Always make sure the plug is fully inserted.
This product must be installed near an AC power outlet that is easily accessible. In case of an emergency,
you must disconnect the power cord from the AC power outlet to shut off the power completely.
Lightning and power surges can damage this product! We recommend that you use a quality surge
protection device on the AC power line, or unplug the cords during a lightning storm.
Avoid using this product during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from
lightning.
iii
DO NOT use this product to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Use only the power cord provided with the machine.
Plastic bags are used in the packaging of your machine. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep these bags
away from babies and children.
DO NOT use flammable substances, any type of spray or an organic solvent/liquid containing alcohol or
ammonia to clean the inside or outside of the machine. Doing this may cause a fire or electrical shock. See
Cleaning on page 105 for how to clean the machine.
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.
Cleaning the outside of the printer:
Make sure that you have unplugged the printer from the AC power outlet.
Use neutral detergents. Cleaning with volatile liquids such as thinner or benzine will damage the outside
surface of the printer.
DO NOT use cleaning materials that contain ammonia.

To get the best print quality, we suggest using paper that meets the conditions mentioned below.
Paper that is made for plain-paper copying
Paper that is 70 to 90g/m
2
(20 to 24lb)
Neutral paper. Do not use acidic or alkaline paper
Long-grain paper
Use paper with a moisture content of approximately 5%.
We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on transparencies.
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.
DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams
or misfeeds.
2
Especially when paper that satisties the conditions mentioned above is not available in your country, we
recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities.
To help you choose which paper to use with this printer, see Important information for choosing your paper
on page 144.
Should you need further information on recommended paper, please contact local Brother office in your
country.

Printing Methods
Note
Types of envelopes2
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.
2
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 print envelopes using duplex printing.
• You must choose the same paper size from your application as the paper in the tray.
