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 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 avoid2
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
• that is curled or warped
 
1 A curl of 0.08 in. (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 
above, they may damage your machine. 
This damage is not covered under any 
Brother warranty or service agreement.

Envelopes2
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.
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 avoid2
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
 
• with double flaps as shown in figure 
below
 
• with sealing flaps that are not folded 
down when purchased
• with sealing flaps as shown in figure 
below
 
• with each side folded as shown in 
figure below
 
 
						

							Chapter 2
20
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.
 
Labels2
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 avoid2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, 
wrinkled or an unusual shape.
 
IMPORTANT
• Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet 
exposed because your machine will be 
damaged.
• Label sheets should not exceed the paper 
weight specifications described in this 
User’s Guide. Labels exceeding this 
specification may not feed or print properly 
and may cause damage to your machine.
• DO NOT insert labels that have previously 
been used or that have labels missing 
from the sheet.

You can make copies and scan from the 
ADF* (Automatic Document Feeder) (*For 
DCP-7065DN) and the scanner glass.
Using the automatic 
document feeder (ADF)
(For DCP-7065DN)3
The ADF can hold up to 35 pages and feeds 
each sheet individually. Use standard 
20 lb (80 g/m
2) paper and always fan the 
pages before putting them in the ADF.
