Chapter 2

Note

IMPORTANT

When you are using Legal size paper, press and hold the universal guide release button (1) as you slide out the front of the paper tray.

e Gently put the paper into the paper tray

print side down and top edge in first. Check that the paper is flat in the tray.

d Fan the stack of paper well to avoid

paper jams and misfeeds.

Always make sure that the paper is not curled or wrinkled.

Be careful that you do not push the paper in too far; it may lift at the back of the tray and cause feed problems.

f Gently adjust the paper side guides (1)

to fit the paper using both hands. Make sure the paper side guides touch the sides of the paper.

Loading paper

IMPORTANT

g Close the output paper tray cover.

h Slowly push the paper tray completely

into the machine.

Loading envelopes and postcards 2

About envelopes 2

 Use envelopes that weigh between 80 to

95 gsm.

 Some envelopes need margin settings to

be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first before printing many envelopes.

DO NOT use any of the following types of envelopes, as they will cause paper feed problems:

• That are of a baggy construction.

• That are embossed (have raised writing on them).

i While holding the paper tray in place,

pull out the paper support ( ) until it clicks and unfold the paper support

flap ( ).

• That have clasps or staples.

• That are pre-printed on the inside.

Glue Double flap

Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.

DO NOT use the paper support flap for Legal size paper.

Chapter 2

IMPORTANT

Loading envelopes and postcards 2

a Before loading, press the corners and

sides of envelopes or postcards to make them as flat as possible.

If envelopes or postcards are “doublefeeding”, put one envelope or postcard in the paper tray at a time.

b Put envelopes or postcards in the paper

tray with the side to be printed on face down, and the shortest edge in first as shown in the illustration. With both hands, gently press and slide the paper side guides (1) and paper length guide (2) to fit the size of the envelopes or postcards.

Loading paper

If you have problems printing on envelopes with the flap on the short edge, try the following:

a Open the envelope flap. b Put the envelope into the paper tray with

the address side down and the flap positioned as shown in the illustration.

Removing small printouts

from the machine 2

When the machine ejects small paper onto the output paper tray cover you may not be able to reach it. Make sure printing has finished, and then pull the tray completely out of the machine.

c Adjust the size and margin in your

application.

Chapter 2

Note

Printable area 2

The printable area depends on the settings in the application you are using. The figures below show the unprintable areas on cut sheet paper and envelopes. The machine can print in the shaded areas of cut sheet paper when the Borderless print feature is available and turned on.

You can use five sizes of paper for printing copies: A4, A5, Letter, Legal and 10  15 cm and three sizes for printing faxes: A4, Legal and Letter. When you change the size of paper you load in the machine, you will need to change the paper size setting at the same time so your machine can fit an incoming fax on the page.

c Press a or b to choose Paper Size.

Press OK.

d Press a or b to choose A4, A5,

Press OK.

e Press Stop/Exit.

The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face up onto the paper tray in front of the machine. When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

Chapter 2

Acceptable paper and other print media

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load.

You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use Brother paper.

 When you print on inkjet paper (coated

paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to choose the correct print media in the Basic tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu. (See Paper Type on page 15.)

Recommended print media 2

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See the table below.)

If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities.

We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on transparencies.

Handling and using print media 2

 When you print on Brother Photo paper,

load one extra sheet of the same photo paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package for this purpose.

 When you use transparencies or photo

paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams.

 Avoid touching the printed surface of the

paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers.

 Store paper in its original packaging, and

keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.

 Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of

photo paper. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down.

 Avoid touching either side of

transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

IMPORTANT

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper.

1 2 mm or greater curl may cause jams

to occur.

• Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

Loading paper

• Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

• Short grain paper

Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover

Up to 50 sheets of 80 gsm A4 paper.

 Transparencies and photo paper must be

picked up from the output paper tray cover one page at a time to avoid smudging.
