Handling and using special
paper 2
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 avoid 2
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.
Envelopes 2
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.

Loading paper and documents

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
media on page 10.
Types of envelopes to avoid 2
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

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.
Labels 2
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 avoid 2
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.

Loading paper and
envelopes 2
The machine can feed paper from the
standard paper tray, optional lower tray or
multi-purpose tray.
When printing on plain paper 60 to 105 g/m
2
use the paper tray.
For printing on other types of media use the
MP tray (multi-purpose tray).
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.
Loading plain paper in the paper tray 2
a Unfold the output paper tray support
flap (1).
b Pull the paper tray completely out of the
machine.
c While pressing the green paper-guide
release lever (1), slide the paper guides

How do I print on envelopes? You can load envelopes from the MP tray. Your application must be set up to print
the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or
Document Setup menu of your application. (See your application’s manual for
more information.)
Which paper can I use? You can use plain paper, recycled paper, envelopes and labels that are made for
laser machines. (For details, see Acceptable paper and other media on page 10.)
There is a paper jam. (See Paper jams on page 85.)
Print quality difficulties
Difficulties Suggestions
Printed pages are curled. Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the
paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the
paper tray.
Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the media type you are
using. (See Acceptable paper and other media on page 10.)

Printed pages are smeared. The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using,
or the print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See Acceptable paper
and other media on page 10 and Basic tab in the Software User’s Guide on the
CD-ROM.)
Printouts are too light. If this problem occurs when making copies, turn Toner Save mode to off in the
machine menu settings. (See Toner save on page 22.)
Set Toner Save mode to off in the Advanced tab in the printer driver. (See
Advanced tab in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.)
Network difficulties
Difficulties Suggestions
Cannot print over a wired Network. Make sure your machine is powered on and is on-line and in Ready mode. Print
the Network Configuration list to see your current Network settings. (See User
Settings List on page 23.) Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to verify that the
cable and network connections are good. If possible, try connecting the machine
to a different port on your hub using a different cable. If the connections are good,
the upper LED of the back panel of the machine will be green.

Improving the print quality C
If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 3, 2, 3). If the printout looks good,
the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable or try the machine on another
computer.
Note
You can resolve a print quality problem by replacing a toner cartridge with a new one when the
LCD shows the Toner Life End message.

o While holding both hands, turn the drum
unit upside down and place on a piece of
disposable paper or cloth. Make sure
that the drum unit gears (1) are on your
left hand side.
p See the print sample to identify the
colour causing the problem. The colour
of the spots or toner stain is the colour of
the drum you should clean. For
example, if the spots are cyan, you
should clean the drum for cyan. Put the
print sample in front of the drum, and
then find the exact position of the poor
print.

q Turn the drum unit gear on the drum that
matches that mark (for example, for a
cyan mark, turn the drum for cyan). You
should see the mark eventually on the
surface of the drum (1).
r When you have found the mark on the
drum that matches the print sample,
wipe the surface of the drum gently with
a cotton swab until the dust or paper
powder on the surface comes off.
CAUTION
The drum is photosensitive so DO NOT
touch it with your fingers.
DO NOT clean the surface of the
photosensitive drum with a sharp object.
DO NOT use excessive force when
cleaning the drum surface.
s Turn the drum unit gear toward you by
hand to return it to the home position.
The home position of each drum can be
identified by matching the number on

Note
Discard used consumable items according to local regulations, keeping it separate from
domestic waste. If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office. Be sure to reseal
the consumable items tightly so that the material inside does not spill.
We recommend placing used consumable items on a piece of paper to prevent accidentally
spilling or scattering the material inside.
If you use paper that is not a direct equivalent for the recommended paper, the life of
consumable items and machine parts may be reduced.
The projected life for toner cartridges and a waste toner box is based on an average 5%
coverage of the printable area using any colour toner cartridge. Frequency of replacement will
vary depending on the complexity of printed pages, percentage of coverage and type of media
used.

CAUTION
Brother machines are designed to work
with toner of a particular specification and
will work to a level of optimum performance
when used with genuine Brother toner
cartridges (TN-130/TN-135). Brother
cannot guarantee this optimum
performance if toner or toner cartridges of
other specifications are used. Brother does
not therefore recommend the use of
cartridges other than genuine Brother
cartridges with this machine, or the refilling
of empty cartridges with toner from other
sources. If damage is caused to the drum
unit or other part of this machine as a result
of the use of toner or toner cartridges other
than genuine Brother products due to the
incompatibility or lack of suitability of those
products with this machine, any repairs
required as a result may not be covered by
the warranty.
Unpack the toner cartridge just before you
put it in the machine. If a toner cartridge is
left unpacked for a long time, the toner life
will be shortened.
Note
Be sure to seal up the toner cartridge
tightly in a suitable bag so that toner
powder does not spill out of the cartridge.
Discard the used toner cartridge
according to local regulations, keeping it
separate from domestic waste. If you have
questions, call your local waste disposal
office.

Change Parts Drum message C
Change Parts
Drum
The machine uses a drum unit to create print
images on paper. If the LCD shows
Change Parts Drum, the drum unit is near
the end of its life and it is time to buy a new
one.
Even if the LCD shows
Change Parts Drum, you may be able to
continue printing without having to replace
the drum unit for a while. However, if there is
a noticeable deterioration in the output print
quality (even before Change Parts Drum
appears), then the drum unit should be
replaced. You should clean the machine
when you replace the drum unit. (See
Cleaning the laser scanner windows
on page 97.)
CAUTION
While removing the drum unit, handle it
carefully because it may contain toner. If
toner scatters on your hands or clothes,
wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.
Note
The drum unit is a consumable item, and
it is necessary to replace it periodically.
There are many factors that determine the
actual drum life, such as temperature,
humidity, type of paper and how much
toner you use for the number of pages per
print job. The estimated drum life is
approximately 17,000 pages. The actual
number of pages your drum will print may
be significantly less than these estimates.
Because we have no control over the
many factors that determine the actual
drum life, we cannot guarantee a
minimum number of pages that will be
printed by your drum.
