When you put paper into the paper tray, note the following: „If your application software supports paper size selection on the print menu, you can choose it through the software. If your application software does not support it, you can set the paper size in the printer driver or by using the control panel buttons. „Before using paper that has holes in it, such as organizer sheets, you must ‘fan’ the stack to avoid paper jams and misfeeds. Loading paper in the paper tray2 Printing on plain paper, recycled paper or transparencies from the paper tray 2 aPull the paper tray completely out of the machine. bWhile pressing the green paper guide release lever, slide the paper guides to fit the paper size.

Loading paper and documents 11 2 Acceptable paper and other print media 2 Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using. You can use the following types of print media: plain paper, bond paper, recycled paper, transparencies, labels or envelopes. For best results, follow the steps below: „Use paper made for plain paper copying. „Use paper that is 75 to 90 g/m 2. „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%. Recommended paper and print media2 To get the best print quality, we suggest using the following paper. Type and size of paper2 The machine loads paper from the installed standard paper tray or manual feed slot. Standard paper tray2 Since the standard paper tray is a universal type, you can use any of the paper sizes (one paper type and size at a time) listed in the table in Paper capacity of the paper trays on page 12. The standard paper tray can hold up to 250 sheets of Letter/A4 size paper (80 g/m 2). Paper can be loaded up to the maximum paper mark on the sliding paper width guide. Manual feed slot2 The manual feed slot can hold a sheet with a size of 76.2 to 220 mm wide and 116 to 406.4 mm long. You can use the manual feed slot if you are using special paper, envelopes or labels. Paper TypeItem Plain Paper APP Blue Flagship 70 g/m 2 APP Gold Flagship 80 g/m2 Advanced Agro Double A 80 g/m2
Chapter 2 12 Paper capacity of the paper trays2 Recommended paper specifications2 The following paper specifications are suitable for this machine. 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.

DO NOT use paper: • that is highly textured • that is extremely smooth or shiny • that is curled or warped 12mm • 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 If you use any of the types of paper listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage is not covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement. 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 be fed from 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. 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. 1 Feeding direction „We recommend that you do not print within 15 mm of the edges of envelopes. „Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure. 11 1 1
Chapter 2 14 Types of envelopes to avoid2 CAUTION 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 • with double flaps as shown in figure below • 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 is not 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.
