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 select it through the software. If

your application software does not

support it, you can set the paper size in

Loading paper in the standard

paper tray 2

You can load up to 250 sheets. Paper can be

loaded up to the maximum paper mark (b b b)

on the sliding paper width guide. (For

Recommended paper specifications 2

The following paper specifications are suitable for this machine.

Use paper made for plain paper copying.

Use paper that is 70 to 90 g/m2.

Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph value, and a moisture content of approx. 5%.

This machine can use recycled paper that meets DIN 19309 specifications.

Handling and using special

paper 2

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 392 degrees

Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade).

If you use bond paper, paper that has a

rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or

creased, the paper may exhibit degraded

performance.

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

• that is extremely smooth or shiny

Basis weight 70-90 g/m2

Thickness 80-110 m

Roughness Higher than 20 sec.

Stiffness 90-150 cm3/100

Grain direction Long grain

Volume resistivity 10e9-10e11 ohm

Surface resistivity 10e9-10e12 ohm-cm

Filler CaCO3 (Neutral)

Ash content Below 23 wt%

Brightness Higher than 80%

Opacity Higher than 85%

Loading paper

• that is curled or warped

1 A curl of 2 mm or greater may cause

jams to occur.

• 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,

they may damage your machine. This

damage is not covered under any Brother

warranty or service agreement.

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.

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.

Types of envelopes to avoid 2

IMPORTANT

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

Chapter 2

• with double flaps

• 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 may not be

covered under any Brother warranty or

service agreement.

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.

Do not feed a label sheet through the

machine more than one time.

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 insert labels that have previously

been used, or have any labels missing

from the sheet.

Replacing the consumable items A

The machine will indicate when it is time to replace the consumable items. (See Replacing the

toner cartridge on page 29 and Replacing the drum unit on page 35.) To avoid any inconvenience,

you may want to buy spare consumable items before the machine stops printing.

Note

• Discard used consumable items according to local regulations, keeping it separate from

domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office. Be sure to reseal

the consumable items tightly so that the material inside does not spill.

• We recommend placing used consumable items on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally

spilling or scattering the material inside.

• If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the recommended paper, the life of

consumable items and machine parts may be reduced.

• The projected life of the toner cartridges is based on ISO/IEC 19752. Frequency of

replacement will vary depending on the complexity of printed pages, percentage of coverage

and type of media used.

Difficulties Suggestions

Troubleshooting

Paper handling difficulties

Difficulties Suggestions

The machine does not feed paper.

The LCD shows No Paper or a

Paper Jam message.

If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.

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

on page 48.

If the LCD shows the Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see

Error and maintenance messages on page 49.

How do I print on envelopes? 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

or Document Setup menu of your application.

What paper can I use? You can use thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper,

envelopes and labels that are made for laser machines. (For details, see

Acceptable paper and other print media on page 15.)

You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot.

There is a paper jam. Clear the jammed paper. (See Paper Jams on page 52.)

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

are using. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 15.)

Printed pages are smeared. 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.)

Printouts are too light. 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.

aTo 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

on page 15.)

bCheck that the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly are installed correctly.

Examples of poor print quality Recommendation

Faint

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.

Check if the Toner Setting in Replace Toner is set to

Continue (Continue mode). See Toner settings in Chapter 1 of

the Advanced User's Guide.

Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as humidity,

high temperatures, and so on, may cause this print fault. See the

Safety and Legal booklet.

If the whole page is too light, Toner Save mode may be on. Turn

off Toner Save mode in the machine menu settings or Toner

Save mode in the printer Properties of the driver. See Toner save

in Chapter 1 of the Advanced User's Guide or Advanced tab in

Chapter 2 of the Software User's Guide.
