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 only be fed from the MP tray. 
Do not print envelopes using duplex printing. 
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
„Envelope joints that are sealed by the 
manufacturer should be secure.
„We recommend that you do not print 
within 0.6 in. (15 mm) of the edges 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 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.
 
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.
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.
Labels can be fed from the MP Tray only.
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.

scanner glass. If you do this, the ADF may 
jam.
• DO NOT use paper that is curled, 
wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper-
