Acceptable paper and
other print media2
Print quality may vary according to the type of
paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print
media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper,
bond paper, recycled paper, transparencies,
labels or envelopes.
For best results, follow the instructions below:
Use paper made for plain paper copying.
Use paper that is 60 to 105 gsm.
Use labels and transparencies which are
designed for use in laser machines.
DO NOT put different types of paper in the
paper tray at the same time because it
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
For correct 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.
When you use transparencies remove
each sheet immediately to prevent
smudging or paper jams.
Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph
value, and a moisture content of approx.
5%.
Type and size of paper2
The machine loads paper from the installed
standard paper tray, optional lower tray
(MFC-8380DN) or multi-purpose tray.
Standard paper tray2

Chapter 2
Handling and using special
paper2
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 (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 avoid2
IMPORTANT
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
1
1 2mm or greater curl 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
16
• 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 may not be covered under
any Brother warranty or service
agreement.
Loading paper and documents
Envelopes2
Most envelopes 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 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 only be fed from the MP tray.
Do not print envelopes using duplex printing.
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.
Check the following:
Envelopes should have a lengthwise
sealing flap.
The sealing flaps should be folded crisply
and correctly (irregularly cut or folded
envelopes may cause paper jams).
Envelopes should consist of two layers of
paper in the area circled in figure below.
Types of envelopes to avoid2
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
• 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
2
1
1 Feeding direction
Envelope joints that are sealed by the
manufacturer should be secure.
We recommend that you do not print
within 15 mm of the edges of envelopes.

• with double flaps as shown in figure
below
17
Chapter 2
• with sealing flaps that have not been
folded at purchase
• 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.
Occasionally you may experience paper
feed problems caused by the thickness,
size and flap shape of the envelopes you
are using.
Labels2
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.
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.
Labels can be fed from the MP Tray.
Types of labels to avoid2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,
wrinkled or an unusual shape.
18
IMPORTANT
DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The
exposed carrier sheet will damage your
machine.
Loading paper and documents
Loading documents2
Using the automatic
document feeder (ADF)2
The ADF can hold up to 20 pages of A4 size
paper and feeds each sheet individually. Use
standard 80 gsm paper and always fan the
pages before putting them in the ADF.
IMPORTANT
• DO NOT leave thick documents on the
scanner glass. If you do this, the ADF may
jam.
• DO NOT use paper that is curled,
wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paperclipped, pasted or taped.
• DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or
fabric.
a Unfold the ADF output tray (1).
b Fan the pages well.

What is the Advantage of using
®
Telstra
Using Telstra® FaxStream® Duet® is the
most efficient way to receive both fax and
telephone calls on the same line. When the
voice call comes in, all telephones (extension
and external) and the fax machine will ring to
alert you to pick it up. If a fax call comes in,
the fax machine will answer automatically
without ringing, whereas the extension and
external telephones will ring twice with a
distinctive ring pattern. It is also a more
efficient way of operating a Fax machine with
an extension telephone as you do not have to
use the remote activation codes. It gives you
two independent numbers without the higher
cost of a second line.
FaxStream® Duet® Function?7
How does Telstra® FaxStream® Duet®
Work?
Incoming calls to the voice number, will have
the standard ring pattern of long, long tone,
followed by a pause, repeated, while the new
fax number will have a different ring pattern of
three short bursts of ring, repeated at regular
intervals.
When FaxStream
receive a voice call all extension and external
telephones will ring with a standard ring
pattern. The fax machine will ring on the third
ring with a standard ring pattern. All external
and the extension telephones will continue to
ring, until you or a telephone answering
device can answer the voice number.
When FaxStream
receive a fax call on the Duet
Fax machine will answer and automatically
receive the fax message without ringing. On
the other hand, all extension and external
telephones will ring twice with a distinctive

FaxAbility7
FaxAbility is a service offered by Telecom
that allows you to have an additional number
on one telephone line, with its own distinctive
ring pattern. This way, when you get an
incoming call, you can identify the number
being called by its ring.
How Will the Fax Machine Treat All
Other Numbers?
FaxAbility mode ensures that the machine
will answer calls to the FaxAbility (secondary)
number. When a call comes in to your main
number, all the telephones will ring. You can
set an external answering device (TAD) to
answer calls on the other number(s). (See the
chart in the following page.)
What is the Advantage of Using the
FaxAbility Function?
Using FaxAbility is the most efficient way to
receive both fax and telephone calls on the
same line. It is much easier for your callers
who dial manually. The fax machine will
answer with receiving tones so they will not
have to press an activation code. And the
people who call to talk on your main number
will not have to talk to your fax machine.
Basically, it gives you two independent
numbers without the higher cost of a second
line.
How Does FaxAbility Work?7
Your telephone number will have the
standard ring pattern of long, long tone, while
the new number will have a ring pattern of
long, silence, long, etc. When FaxAbility is
On, you will not hear the first ring of all
incoming calls on the fax machine. Extension
telephones will ring as usual. If the fax
machine recognizes the ring pattern, all
ringing will stop and the fax machine will
answer and automatically receive the fax
message. Otherwise, you will hear the
extension telephones and the fax machine
continue to ring. The fax machine always
listens to the ring pattern before it answers,
7
so do not pick up the telephone during that
time. You will quickly learn to recognize the
ring pattern for faxes, so you will not be
tempted to answer that number. Either you or
a telephone answering device can answer
the main number(s).

Connecting an external
TAD 7
You can connect an external Telephone
Answering Device (TAD) to the same line as
your machine. When the TAD answers a call,
your machine will “listen” for the CNG (fax
calling) tones sent by a sending fax machine.
If it hears them it will take over the call and
receive the fax. If it does not hear them, it will
let your TAD take a voice message and the
display will show Telephone.
The external TAD must answer within four
rings (we recommend you set it to two rings).
This is because your machine cannot hear
the CNG tones until the external TAD has
picked up the call. The sending machine will
send CNG tones for only eight to ten seconds
longer. We do not recommend using the toll
saver feature on your external TAD if it needs
more than four rings to activate it.
Note
If you have problems receiving faxes,
reduce the ring delay setting on your
external TAD to one or two rings.

(dedicated) line. Although a particular PABX
may appear to work with a particular model of
fax machine, we cannot guarantee that the
unit will operate correctly.
While it is often relatively simple to connect a
fax machine to a PABX, (Private Automatic
Branch Exchange), we suggest that you
contact the company that installed your
telephone system and ask them to connect
the fax machine for you.
Brother does not recommend the use of a
PABX line. PABX limitations in general can
cause some functions of the fax machine not
to work correctly.
Note
• You need to turn the Remote Codes
setting to on to use the Fax Receive Code
l51 (l91 for New Zealand). (See Using
Remote Codes on page 60.)
• We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud
voice. You may try leaving out this pause,
but if your machine has trouble receiving
faxes, then you should re-record the OGM
to include it.

Operating from external and
extension telephones7
If you answer a fax call at an extension
telephone, or an external telephone that is
correctly connected to the machine into the
correct socket on the machine, you can make
your machine take the call by using the
Remote Activation code. When you press the
Remote Activation code l51 (l91 for New
Zealand) the machine starts to receive the
fax.
For Fax/Tel mode only7
When the machine is in Fax/Tel mode, it will
use the F/T Ring Time (pseudo/doubleringing) to alert you to pick up a voice call.
Lift the external telephone’s handset, and
then press Hook to answer.
If you are at an extension telephone, you will
need to lift the handset during the F/T Ring
Time and then press #51 (#91 for New
Zealand) between the pseudo/double rings. If
no one is on the line, or if someone wants to
send you a fax, send the call back to the
machine by pressing l51(l91 for New
Zealand).

Using a non-Brother cordless
external handset7
If your non-Brother cordless telephone is
connected to the telephone line cord (see
page 59) and you typically carry the cordless
handset elsewhere, it is easier to answer
calls during the Ring Delay.
If you let the machine answer first, you will
have to go to the machine so you can press
Hook to transfer the call to the cordless
handset.
Note
• If you are always disconnected when
accessing your external TAD remotely, try
changing the Fax Receive Code and

you can turn the F/T ring off by pressing #51
(#91 for New Zealand) (make sure you press
this between the rings).
If the machine answers a voice call and
pseudo/double-rings for you to take over, you
can take the call at the external telephone by
