Handling and using special
paper
2
IMPORTANT
Some types of paper may not perform well
or may cause damage to your machine.
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
DO NOT use paper:
• that is highly textured
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.
• that is extremely smooth or shiny
• that is curled or warped
1
Some important guidelines when selecting
paper are:
DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may
cause a paper jam or damage your
machine.
1

A curl of 2 mm or greater may cause
jams to occur.
Preprinted paper must use ink that can
withstand the temperature of the
• that is coated or has a chemical finish
• that is damaged, creased or folded
machine’s fusing process 392 degrees
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade).
• that exceeds the recommended weight
specification in this guide
If you use bond paper, paper having a
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded
performance.
• with tabs and staples
• with letterheads using low temperature
dyes or thermography
When you are using glossy paper, put only
one sheet at a time in the MP tray to avoid
a paper jam.
• that is multipart or carbonless
• that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listed,
they may damage your machine. This
damage may not be covered under any
Brother warranty or service agreement.
22
Loading paper
• with windows, holes, cut-outs or
perforations
Envelopes
2
Most envelopes designed for laser printers
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.
• with glue on surface as shown in figure
below
2
• with double flaps as shown in figure
below
We recommend that you print a test envelope
to make sure the print results are what you
want.
Types of envelopes to avoid
2
• with sealing flaps that are not folded
down when purchased
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use envelopes:
• with sealing flaps as shown in figure
below
• 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
• with each side folded as shown in
figure below
• that are embossed (have raised writing
on them)
• that were previously printed by a laser
machine
• that are pre-printed on the inside
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 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
23
Chapter 2
Labels
2
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.
Types of labels to avoid
2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,
wrinkled or an unusual shape.
IMPORTANT
• 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.

Troubleshooting
Improving the print quality
B
If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 3, 2, 3). If the printout looks good,
the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections or try printing a
different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem,
check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a print quality problem, check the chart
below and follow the recommendations.
Note
Brother does not recommend the use of cartridges other than Brother Original cartridges or the
refilling of used cartridges with toner from other sources.

paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other print media
