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
2
• 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 , they may damage your machine. This damage is not covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.
19
Chapter 2
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. 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
• with windows, holes, cut-outs or perforations
• with glue on surface as shown in figure below
with double flaps
• with each side folded as shown in figure below
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

IMPORTANT
Labels 2
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.
Types of labels to avoid 2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.
2
• DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The exposed carrier sheet will damage your machine.
• Label sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in this User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this specification may not feed or print correctly 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.
