Handling and using special paper 2
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.
Types of paper to avoid 2
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 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
2
• that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listed
, they may damage your machine. This
damage is not covered under any Brother
warranty or service agreement.

IMPORTANT
Envelopes 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.
Types of envelopes to avoid 2
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
•
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.
