10 2 Acceptable paper and other media 2 Recommended paper2 To get the best print quality, we suggest using the following paper. Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using. You can use the following types of media: plain paper, labels or envelopes. For best results, follow the steps below: „Use paper made for plain paper copying. „Use paper that is 75 to 90 g/m 2. „Use labels which are designed for use in laser printers. „Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing. „Use long grain paper with a neutral Ph value, and a moisture content of approx 5%. CAUTION DO NOT load envelopes, labels or thick paper (more than 105 g/m 2) into the paper tray or optional lower tray. It may cause paper jams. Type and size of paper2 The machine loads paper from the installed standard paper tray, or multi-purpose tray, or optional lower tray. Standard paper tray2 Since the standard paper tray is a universal type, you can use any of the paper sizes (one paper type and size at a time) listed in the table in Paper capacity of the paper trayson page 11. The standard paper tray can hold up to 250 sheets of Letter/A4, legal and folio size paper (80 g/m 2). Paper can be loaded up to the maximum paper mark on the sliding paper width guide. Multi-purpose tray (MP tray)2 The MP tray can hold up to 50 sheets of paper (80 g/m 2) or up to 3 envelopes. Paper can be loaded up to the maximum paper mark on the sliding paper width guide. Optional lower tray (LT-100CL)2 The optional lower tray can hold up to 500 sheets of Letter/A4, legal and folio size paper (80 g/m 2). Paper can be loaded up to the top line of the maximum paper mark on the sliding paper width guide.

Chapter 2 12 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: „Your supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be used in a colour laser machine. „Preprinted paper must use inks that can withstand the temperature of the machine’s fusing process (200 degrees centigrade for a period of 0.1 seconds). „If you have selected a cotton bond paper, paper having a rough surface, such as cockle or laid finished paper or paper that is wrinkled or puckered, the paper may exhibit degraded performance. Types of paper to avoid2 CAUTION 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 2 mm or greater • 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 will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have 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 pieces 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. Before you put envelopes in the tray, 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 have two layers of paper in the area circled below. 11
