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 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.
When you are using glossy paper, put only
one sheet at a time in the MP tray to avoid
a paper jam.
Types of paper to avoid2
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
• that is designed for inkjet printing
2
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
Envelopes2
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.
We recommend that you print a test envelope
to make sure the print results are what you
want.
Types of envelopes to avoid2
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
• 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
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.
• 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
22
Labels2
IMPORTANT
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.
Loading paper
2
Types of labels to avoid2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,
wrinkled or an unusual shape.
• 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 a few
labels on the sheet.

Telephone and external devices 6
Connecting an external
TAD
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.
If you have problems receiving faxes,
reduce the ring delay setting on your
external TAD to one or two rings.

• You need to turn the Remote Codes

• We recommend beginning your OGM with
an initial 5 second silence because the
machine cannot hear fax tones over a loud

but if your machine has trouble receiving
faxes, then you should re-record the OGM
to include it.

Multi-line connections (PABX)6
Most offices use a central telephone system.
Brother recommends that all our Fax/MFC
machines are connected to a discreet
(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.

• If you choose not to return your used consumable, please discard used consumable items
according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste. If you have questions,
call your local waste disposal office. Be sure to reseal the consumable items tightly so that the
material inside does not spill.
• We recommend placing used consumable items on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally
spilling or scattering the material inside.
• If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the recommended paper, the life of
consumable items and machine parts may be reduced.
• The projected life of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19798. Frequency of
