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.  
Types of paper to avoid  
2
IMPORTANT  
Some types of paper may not perform well  
or may cause damage to your machine.  
DO NOT use paper:  
• that is highly textured  
Some important guidelines when selecting  
paper are:  
• that is extremely smooth or shiny  
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 any of the types of paper listed,  
they may damage your machine. This  
damage is not covered under any Brother  
warranty or service agreement.

more than the paper weight  
specifications for the machine  
• with edges that are not straight or  
consistently square  
Envelopes  
2
• with windows, holes, cut-outs or  
perforations  
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.  
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  
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.

Types of labels to avoid  
2
• with each side folded as shown in  
figure below  
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.  
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.  
• 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.  
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.  
• DO NOT insert labels that have previously  
been used, or have any labels missing  
from the sheet.  
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.  
Do not feed a label sheet through the  
machine more than one time.

Error and maintenance messages

As with any sophisticated office product, errors may occur and consumable items may need to be  
replaced. If this happens, your machine identifies the error or required routine maintenance and  
shows the appropriate message. The most common error and maintenance messages are shown  
below.  
You can clear most errors and perform routine maintenance messages by yourself. If you need

If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.  
The LCD shows No Paperor a  
Paper Jam message.  
If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,  
you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the  
stack over and put it back into the paper tray.  
Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.  
Make sure that manual feed mode is not chosen in the printer driver.  
Clean the paper pick-up roller. See Cleaning the paper pick-up rollers

What paper can I use?  
You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your application must be set  
up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup

Print quality difficulties  
Difficulties  
Suggestions  
Printed pages are curled.  
Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the  
paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the  
paper tray.  
Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the print media type you  
Printed pages are smeared.  
Printouts are too light.  
The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using,  
or the print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See Acceptable  
paper and other print media on page 15 and Basic tab in the Software User's  
Guide.)  
If this problem occurs when making copies or printing, set Toner Save mode  
to Off in the machine menu settings. (See Toner Save in Chapter 1 of the  
Advanced User's Guide.)  
Set Toner Save mode to Off in the Advanced tab in the printer driver. (See  
Advanced tab in the Software User's Guide.)  
Other  
Difficulties  
Suggestions  
The machine will not turn on.  
Adverse conditions on the power connection (such as lightning or a power surge)  
may have triggered the machine’s internal safety mechanisms. Turn the machine  
off and unplug the power cord. Wait for ten minutes, then plug in the power cord  
and turn the machine on.  
If the problem is not solved, turn off the machine. Plug the power cord into a  
different known working outlet and turn on the machine.

Improving the print quality  
B
If you have a print quality problem, make a copy first (put a document on the scanner glass and  
press Start). 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.  
a To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. Check that you use  
paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other print media  
b Check that the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly are installed correctly.  
Examples of poor print quality  
Recommendation  
Take out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly. Hold the  
assembly level with both hands and gently shake it from side to  
side several times to spread the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
