•See What kind of paper can I use? on page 1-4.

Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes will 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 pieces 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 printer. Before you print a lot of envelopes, test one to make sure that the print results are what you want.

Note

Brother will not recommend a particular envelope because envelope manufacturers may change the envelope specifications. You are responsible for the quality and performance of the envelopes you use.

About this printer

Duplex Printing

The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows® 2000/XP all allow manual duplex printing. For more information about how to choose the settings, see the Help text in the printer driver.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper

■ If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

■ If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the manual feed slot.

■ If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.

■ When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.

If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams and how to clear them on page 6-5.

Printing on both sides of the paper (manual duplex printing)

Note

You should use plain paper and recycled paper. Do not use bond paper.

Manual duplex printing from the paper tray

1 From the Advanced tab choose the Manual Duplex printing mode, and from the Basic tab choose the

Paper Source to be Auto Select or Tray1.

2 The printer will automatically print all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. 3 Remove the printed even-numbered pages from the output tray and put them back in the paper tray,

placing the paper with the side that is going to be printed on (blank side) face down. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.

About this printer

4 The printer will now automatically print all the odd-numbered pages on the other side of the paper.

Note

When you put paper in the paper tray, first empty the tray then put the printed pages in the tray, with the printed side face up. (Do not add the printed pages to the top of a stack of unprinted paper.)

Manual duplex printing from the manual feed slot

Note

You should not use very thin or very thick paper.

1 From the Advanced tab choose the Manual Duplex printing mode, and from the Basic tab choose the

Paper Source to be Manual feed.

2 Using both hands put the paper in the manual feed slot with the side that is going to be printed on first

facing up. Follow the instructions on the computer screen. Repeat this step until you have printed all the even-numbered pages.

3 Remove the printed even-numbered pages from the output tray and put them back into the manual feed

slot in the same order one by one. Place the paper with the side that is going to be printed on (the blank side) face up. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.

4 Repeat Step 3 until you have printed all the odd-numbered pages on the other side of the paper.

About this printer

Paper orientation for manual duplex printing

The printer prints the second page first. If you print 10 pages on 5 sheets of paper, it will print page 2 then page 1 on the first sheet of paper. It will print page 4 then page 3 on the second sheet of paper. It will print page 6 then page 5 on the third sheet of paper, and so on.

When doing manual duplex printing, the paper must be put in the paper tray in the following way:

■ For the manual feed slot:

Put the side to be printed on first, face-up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first. To print the second side, put the paper face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first. If letterhead paper is used, this would be put in with the heading face down, and in first. To print the second side, put the heading face up and in first.

■ For the paper tray:

Put the side to be printed on first, face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of the tray.

To print the second side, put the paper face up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of the tray.

If letterhead paper is used, this would be put in the paper tray with the heading face up, and at the front of the tray.

To print the second page, put the heading face down and at the front of the tray.

Routine maintenance

Toner cartridge

The life of the original toner cartridge that came with the printer may be either a starter*1 or standard*2 toner cartridge, and depends on the model and country you bought the printer in.

The starter toner cartridge will print up to 1,500 A4 or Letter-size single-sided pages at 5% coverage.

Standard and replacement toner cartridges print up to 2,500 A4 or Letter-size single-sided pages at 5% coverage.

Note

• The amount of toner used varies according to what is printed on the page and the print density setting.

• If you change the print density setting for lighter or darker printing, the amount of toner that is used will change.

• Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it in the printer.

Toner Low message

The Toner LED alternates turning on for 2 seconds and off for 3 seconds.

If the LED shows this message, the toner cartridge has nearly run out of toner. Buy a new toner cartridge and have it ready before you get a Toner Life End message. To put in the toner cartridge, see Replacing the toner cartridge on page 5-3.

Note

The Toner LED will blink continuously if the toner cartridge is nearly empty.

5 - 2

Routine maintenance

Toner Life End message

If the LED shows the message below, the printer has run out of toner or the toner is not evenly distributed inside the cartridge.

Replacing the toner cartridge

Note

• To ensure high quality printing, make sure you use quality Brother toner cartridges. When you want to buy toner cartridges, call the dealer you bought the printer from or Brother Customer Service.

• We recommend that you clean the printer when you replace the toner cartridge. See Cleaning on page 5-11.

1 Open the front cover of the printer.

2 Pull out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.

5 - 3

CAUTION

• We recommend that you place the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly on a piece of disposable paper or cloth in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.

• To prevent damage to the printer from static electricity, do not touch the electrodes shown in the illustrations.

3 Push down the blue lock lever and take the toner

cartridge out of the drum unit.

CAUTION

Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, immediately wipe or wash it off with cold water.

Routine maintenance

Note

• Be sure to seal up the toner cartridge tightly in a bag so that toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge.

• Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office.

4 Unpack the new toner cartridge. Hold the cartridge level

with both hands and gently rock it from side to side five or six times to spread the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

5 - 4

CAUTION

• Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you put it in the printer. If toner cartridges are left unpacked for a long time the toner life will be shortened.

• If an unpacked drum unit is put in direct sunlight or room light, the unit may be damaged.

• Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the toner cartridge provided with your printer. We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only Genuine Brother Brand replacement toner cartridges. Using or attempting to use potentially incompatible toner and/or toner cartridges in your printer may cause damage to the printer itself and/or it may result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that was caused by the use of unauthorized third party toner and toner cartridges. To protect your investment and guarantee your print quality please continue to replace consumed toner cartridges with only Genuine Brother Branded Supplies.

• Printing with a third-party toner or third-party toner cartridge may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the printer itself. It may also cause serious damage to the performance and life of a drum unit. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by the use of third-party toner or third-party toner cartridges.

• Put the toner cartridge in the drum unit immediately after you have removed the protective cover. Do not touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations to prevent any degradation to the print quality.

Drum unit

This printer can print up to 12,000 pages* with one drum unit.

Routine maintenance

At 5% print coverage (A4 or Letter size). The actual number of printed pages will vary depending on the average type

of print job and paper.

Note

• There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as the temperature, humidity, type of paper, type of toner used, number of pages per print job and so on. Under ideal conditions, the average drum life is estimated at up to 12,000 pages. The actual number of pages that your drum will print may be significantly less than this estimate. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.

• For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner. The printer should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.

• Printing with a third-party drum unit may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the printer itself. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by the use of third-party drum unit.

Change Drum message

If the LED shows the message below, it means the drum unit is near the end of its life. We recommend that you replace the drum unit with a new one before there is a noticeable deterioration in the print quality.

CAUTION

• While removing the drum unit, handle it carefully because it may contain toner.

• Every time you replace the drum unit, you should clean the inside of the printer. See Cleaning on page 5-11.

Important information for choosing your paper

This section provides information to help you choose paper to use with this printer.

Note

If you use paper other than the ones recommended, a paper jam or misfeeding may occur in the printer. See Recommended paper on page 1-5.

Before you purchase a large quantity of paper

Make sure the paper is suitable for the printer.

Paper for plain paper copies

Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying. The usage is usually specified on the paper’s package. Check the package to see whether it is suitable for laser printers. Use paper that is suitable for laser printers.

Basis weight

The basis weight of the paper in general use varies in different countries. We recommend that you use paper

that weighs between 75 and 90 g/m

(20 and 24 lb), although this printer is able to cope with thinner or thicker

paper than these weights.

Unit Europe USA

g/m

80 to 90 75 to 90

lb 20 to 24

Long grain and short grain

The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacturing. What we call long grain paper is paper where the fiber is parallel to the paper carriage direction of the paper.

Paper can be classified into two types, long grain and short grain. Long grain paper’s fiber direction is parallel to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Short grain paper’s fiber direction is vertical to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain. We recommend that you use long grain paper for this printer. Short grain paper is too weak for the paper carriage of the printer.

Acid paper and neutralized paper

Paper can be classified as either acid paper or neutralized paper. Though modern paper manufacture methods started with acid paper, recently neutralized paper is taking the

place of acid paper because of environment or preservation issues. However, many forms of acid paper can be found in recycled paper. We recommend that you use neutralized

paper for this printer. You can use an acid paper check pen to distinguish acid paper from neutral paper.

Print surface

The characteristics may differ a little between the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper. Usually, the opening side of the ream of paper package is the print side. Follow any indication of the print side

on the paper package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow.

Moisture content

Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although usually paper contains about 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of water can sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water increases, the characteristic of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For storage of the paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding environment is between 50% and 60%.
