Test printing on paper, especially envelopes, is recommended before 
making a large purchase.  
The  following types of envelopes are not recommended for use:  
 Envelopes with thick and/or crooked edges 
 Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped envelopes 
 Extremely shiny or highly textured envelopes 
 Envelopes with clasps 
 Envelopes of baggy construction 
 Envelopes not sharply creased 
 Embossed envelopes 
 Envelopes already printed with a laser printer 
 Envelopes that cannot be arranged uniformly when placed in a pile 
 
Note 
 An area 15mm (0.6”) from the edges of the envelope will not be printed. 
 Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed because your printer 
will be damaged. 
 When feeding Transparencies, the use of a recommended type for laser 
printers will ensure optimum printing. For detailed information on the 
specification or purchase, please contact your nearest Brother 
authorized sales representative or the place of purchase.

The printer 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 large quantities to ensure that it provides the desired 
performance. Some important guidelines when selecting paper are: 
 
1. The Supplier should be informed that the paper or envelopes will be 
used in a laser printer. 
 
2. Preprinted paper must use inks that can withstand the temperature of 
the printer’s fusing process. (200 degrees centigrade) 
 
3. 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, be aware that these types of paper may exhibit degraded 
performance. 
 
Note 
The manufacturer does not warrant the use of any particular paper. The 
operator is responsible for the quality of paper used with the printer. 
 
Paper Types to Avoid 
 
Some types of paper might not perform well or may cause damage to your 
printer. 
 
Types of paper to avoid are: 
 
1. Highly textured paper 
2. Smooth or shiny paper 
3. Paper that is coated or has a chemical finish 
4. Damaged, wrinkled or pre-folded paper 
5. Paper exceeding the recommend weight specification specified in the 
manual 
6. Paper with tabs and staples 
7. Letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography 
8. Multi-part or carbonless paper 
 
DAMAGE OR OTHER DEFECTS CAUSED BY THE USE OF PAPER 
LISTED UNDER “PAPER TYPES TO AVOID” WILL NOT BE COVERED 
UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR SERVICE AGREEMENTS.

Most envelopes will perform acceptably on your printer. However, some 
envelopes will have feeding and print quality problems because of their 
construction. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well 
creased folds and should not have more than two thickness of paper along 
the leading edge. The envelope should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy 
construction. Purchase quality envelopes from a supplier who understands 
that the envelopes will be used in a laser printer. All envelopes should be 
tested prior to use to ensure desirable print results. 
 
 
Envelope Types to Avoid 
 
1. Envelopes constructed with paper that exceeds the paper weight 
specifications for the printer 
2. Poorly manufactured envelopes with edges that are not straight or 
consistently square 
3. Envelopes of “baggy” construction or with folds that are not sharply 
creased 
4. Envelopes with transparent windows, holes, cutouts or perforations 
5. Envelopes with clasps, snaps or tie strings 
6. Envelopes made with smooth or shiny paper 
7. Envelopes that are rough, highly textured, or deeply embossed 
8. Envelopes that do not lie flat or that are curled, wrinkled, or irregularly 
shaped 
9. Envelopes having an open flap with an adhesive that seals the 
envelope 
 
USE OF ANY OF THE ENVELOPES LISTED ABOVE MAY CAUSE 
DAMAGE TO YOUR PRINTER.  SUCH DAMAGE IS NOT COVERED 
UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR SERVICE AGREEMENT. 
 
 
Note 
The manufacturer neither warrants nor recommends the use of a particular 
envelope because envelope properties are subject to change by the 
envelope manufacturer. The entire responsibility for the quality and 
performance of envelopes lies with the customer.

The printer will print on most types of labels and transparencies designed 
for use with a laser printer. Labels should have an adhesive that is acrylic-
based since such material is more stable at the high temperatures of the 
fusing unit. Adhesives should not touch any part of the printer because the 
label stock may stick to the drum or rollers, which would cause jams and 
print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels. 
Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire page with the only 
exposed spaces being lengthwise down the sheet. Using labels with 
spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jam or print 
problems.  
 
All labels and transparencies used in this printer must be able to withstand 
a temperature of 200 degrees centigrade  (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for a 
period of 0.1 seconds.  
 
Label and transparency sheets should not exceed the paper-weight 
specifications described in the User’s Guide. Labels and transparencies 
exceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and can cause 
damage to your printer. 
 
The entire responsibility for the quality and performance of labels and 
transparencies lies with the customer. 
 
DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USE OF UNSATISFACTORY LABELS OR 
TRANSPARENCIES IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR 
SERVICE AGREEMENTS.
