Printing Methods

Acceptable paper and other print media 1

Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.

You can use the following types of print media: plain paper, thin paper, thick paper, thicker paper, bond paper, recycled paper, labels or envelopes.

For best results, follow the instructions below:

 DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams

or misfeeds.

 For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in

the tray.

 Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing.

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

Printing Methods

Important

Handling and using special paper 1

The machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Store paper in its original packaging and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:

 DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may cause a paper jam or damage your machine.

 Preprinted paper must use ink that can withstand the temperature of the machine’s fusing process 392 °F

(200 °C).

 If you use bond paper, paper having a rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or creased, the paper may

exhibit degraded performance.

Types of paper to avoid 1

Some types of paper may not perform well or may cause damage to your machine.

DO NOT use paper:

• that is highly textured

• that is extremely smooth or shiny

• that is curled or warped

1 A curl of 0.08 in. (2 mm) or greater may cause jams to occur.

• that is coated or has a chemical finish

• that is damaged, creased or folded

• that exceeds the recommended weight specification in this guide

• with tabs and staples

• with letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography

• that is multipart or carbonless

• that is designed for inkjet printing

If you use any of the types of paper listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage is not covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.

Page 11

Printing Methods

Important

Envelopes 1

Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and print-quality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds. 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 machine.

We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want.

Types of envelopes to avoid 1

DO NOT use envelopes:

• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape

• that are extremely shiny or textured

• with clasps, staples, snaps or tie strings

• with self-adhesive closures

• that are of a baggy construction

• that are not sharply creased

• that are embossed (have raised writing on them)

• that were previously printed by a laser machine

• that are pre-printed on the inside

• that cannot be arranged neatly when stacked

• that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the machine

• with edges that are not straight or consistently square

• with windows, holes, cut-outs or perforations

• with glue on surface as shown in figure below

• with double flaps as shown in figure below

• with sealing flaps that are not folded down when purchased

Page 12

Printing Methods

Important

• with each side folded as shown in figure below

If you use any of the types of envelopes listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage may not be covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.

Labels 1

The machine will print on most types of labels designed for use with a laser machine. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-based since this material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the machine, because the label stock may stick to the drum unit or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire length and width of the sheet. Using labels with spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jams or print problems.

All labels used in this machine must be able to withstand a temperature of 392 °F (200 °C) for a period of 0.1 seconds.

Types of labels to avoid 1

Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.

• Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed because your machine will be damaged. DO NOT feed partially used carrier sheets.

• Label sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in this User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and may cause damage to your machine.

• DO NOT reuse or insert labels that have previously been used or are missing a few labels on the sheet.

Note

 Improve Print Output

This feature allows you to improve a print quality problem.

• Reduce Paper Curl

If you choose this setting, the paper curl may be reduced.

If you are printing only a few pages, you do not need to choose this setting. We recommend that you change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thin setting.

This operation will decrease the temperature of the machine's fusing process.

• Improve Toner Fixing

If you choose this setting, the toner fixing capabilities may be improved. If this selection does not provide enough improvement, change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thick setting.

This operation will increase the temperature of the machine's fusing process.

• Reduce Ghosting

If you are using the machine in a high humidity environment this setting may reduce ghosting on the paper. Do not use this setting if the ambient humidity is below 30% or ghosting may increase.

This feature may not reduce ghosting for all types of paper. Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable.

 Density Adjustment

Increase or decrease the print density.

 Sleep Time

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

While the machine is in Sleep Mode, the LCD shows Sleep, but the machine can still receive data. Receiving a print job will automatically wake up the machine to start printing.

 Other Print Options

• Skip Blank Page

If Skip Blank Page is checked, the printer driver automatically detects blank pages and excludes them from printing.
