CHAPTER 1 ABOUT THIS PRINTER 1-13 Remarks We recommend that you test paper on this printer before purchasing large quantities, especially paper of a special type, size or thickness. Avoid using coated paper, for example, vinyl coated paper. Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper. For optimum print quality, use only the recommended type of paper, especially when using plain paper or transparencies. For more information on paper specifications, consult your nearest Brother authorized sales representative or place of purchase. If the paper has difficulty feeding from the paper cassette, use the manual feed slot and try again. To avoid damage to the printer drum unit, do not use acid paper. Use neutral paper. For optimum print quality, make sure you have selected the appropriate media type in the printer driver. Using the printer for special print jobs (for example, printing name cards) for long periods of time, may degrade the print quality or shorten the life of the drum unit. Cut Sheet For best print quality we recommend you use long-grained. Using short-grained paper may cause a paper jam. If you are using short-grained paper, it may be the cause of paper jams. Labels / Transparencies Do not feed labels with the carrier sheet exposed because it will damage your printer. We recommend you use only labels or transparencies that are designed for use in laser printers.
1-14 Special Paper To avoid paper jams and misfeeds when using paper with punched holes (for example, organizer sheets), fan the paper well. Do not use organizer sheets that are stuck together. The glue that is used may cause damage to the printer. Before using any paper, make sure that it is not curled. If it is curled, straighten the paper as much as possible. Feeding curled paper can cause paper jams and misfeeds. Fig. 1-5 Fan the Paper and Straighten the Paper Do not load different types of paper in the paper cassette at the same time, this may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
