Loading paper and documents 13 2 1 Feeding direction Note • Before you print envelopes, you must ‘fan’ the stack to avoid paper jams and misfeeds. • Before you print a lot of envelopes, test one to make sure that the print results are what you want. • Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure. • DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds. • DO NOT print envelopes using duplex printing. • For correct printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in the tray. • We recommend that you do not print within 15 mm. of the edges of the envelopes. •See Acceptable paper and other mediaon page 10. Types of envelopes to avoid2 CAUTION 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 the surface as shown in the figure below • with double flaps as shown in the figure below • with sealing flaps that have not been folded at purchase • with sealing flaps as shown in the figure below 1 1
Chapter 2 14 • with each side folded as shown in the 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 belt 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. CAUTION DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The exposed carrier sheet will damage your machine.

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 the printer driver or by using the control panel buttons. „Before using paper that has holes in it, such as organizer sheets, you must ‘fan’ the stack to avoid paper jams and misfeeds.
