fit the paper size you are loading in the 
tray. Make sure that the guides are 
firmly in the slots.
 
cFan the stack of paper well to avoid 
paper jams and misfeeds.
 
dPut paper in the tray and make sure:
The paper is below the maximum 
paper mark (b b b) (1).
Overfilling the paper tray will cause 
paper jams.
The side to be printed on must be 
face down.
The paper guides touch the sides of 
the paper so it will feed properly.
 
ePut the paper tray firmly back in the 
machine. Make sure that it is completely 
inserted into the machine.

Note
• Put the paper into the manual feed slot 
with the side to be printed face up.
• Make sure that the print media is straight 
and in the correct position on the manual 
feed slot. If it is not, the paper may not be 
fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout 
or a paper jam.
• Do not put more than one sheet of paper 
in the manual feed slot at any one time, as 
it may cause a jam.
• If you put any print media in the manual 
feed slot before the machine is in Ready 
mode, the print media may be ejected 
without being printed on.• To easily remove a small printout from the 
output tray, lift up the scanner cover by 
using both hands as shown in the 
illustration.
 
• You can still use the machine while the 
scanner cover is up. To close the scanner 
cover, push it down with both hands.

Print quality may vary according to the type of 
paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print 
media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, 
bond paper, recycled paper, labels or 
envelopes.
For best results, follow the instructions below:
DO NOT put different types of paper in the 
paper tray at the same time because it 
may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
For correct printing, you must choose the 
same paper size from your software 
application as the paper in the tray.
Avoid touching the printed surface of the 
paper immediately after printing.
Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small 
quantity to make sure the paper is 
suitable.

2 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:
DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may 
cause a paper jam or damage your 
machine.
Preprinted paper must use ink that can 
withstand the temperature of the 
machine’s fusing process 392 degrees 
Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade).
If you use bond paper, paper having a 
rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or 
creased, the paper may exhibit degraded 
performance.
Types of paper to avoid2
IMPORTANT
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 A curl of 2 mm or greater may cause 
jams to occur.
• 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 
, they may damage your machine. This 
damage is not covered under any Brother 
warranty or service agreement.

Envelopes2
Most envelopes designed for laser printers 
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 be fed from the manual feed 
slot one at a time. 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.
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 are not folded 
down when purchased
•
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 may not be 
covered under any Brother warranty or 
service agreement.
