Note
•Put the paper into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up.
•Make sure that the print media is straight and in the proper 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.
•Do not put more than one sheet of paper in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it may cause a jam.
•If you put any print media in the manual feed slot before the machine is in Ready mode, the print media may be ejected without being printed on.

paper you are using. |
You can use the following types of print media: thin paper, plain paper, thick 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 the paper is suitable.

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 degrees Fahrenheit (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.

Chapter 2
Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and printquality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two sheets 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 machine.
Envelopes can be fed from the manual feed slot one at a time. We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want before you print or purchase a large quantity of envelopes.
IMPORTANT
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
20
•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
•with sealing flaps as shown in figure below
•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.
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 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for a period of 0.1 seconds.
Do not feed a label sheet through the machine more than one time.
Loading paper
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.
2
IMPORTANT
•Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed because your machine will be damaged.
•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 few labels on the sheet.

You can send a fax, make copies, and scan from the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) and the scanner glass.
The ADF can hold up to 35 pages and feeds each sheet individually. Use standard
80 g/m2 paper and always fan the pages before putting them in the ADF.

IMPORTANT
•DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paperclipped, pasted or taped.
•DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or fabric.
•To avoid damaging your machine while using the ADF, DO NOT pull on the document while it is feeding.
Note
•To scan documents that are not suitable for the ADF, see Using the scanner glass on page 23.
•It is easier to use the ADF if you are loading a multiple page document.
