Acceptable paper and other print media

Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.

You can use the following types of print media: plain paper, thin paper, thick paper, thicker paper, bond paper, recycled paper, labels, envelopes or glossy paper (see Print media on page 209).

For best results, follow the instructions below:

• DO NOT load 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 in 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 that the paper is appropriate for the machine.
  Use labels that are designed for use in laser machines.

This machine can use recycled paper that meets DIN 19309 specifications.

(Before you load paper in this machine, see Important information for choosing your paper on page 213.)

Handling and using special paper

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 °F (200 °C).
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 avoid

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 0.08 in. (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 above, they may damage your machine. This damage is not covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.

Envelopes

Most envelopes can be used with your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and print-quality problems because of the way they have been made. Envelopes should have edges with straight, well-creased folds. Envelopes should lie flat and not be of baggy or flimsy construction. Use only quality envelopes from a supplier who understands that you will be using the envelopes in a laser machine.

We recommend printing a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want.

Types of envelopes to avoid

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 printer or LED 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 are not folded down when purchased
• 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 may not be 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

Most labels can be used with your 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 drum 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^ (200^) for a period of 0.1 seconds.

Types of labels to avoid

Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.

IMPORTANT

• DO NOT feed partially used label sheets or labels with the carrier sheet exposed because your machine will be damaged.
• DO NOT reuse or insert labels that have been used previously or are missing a few labels on the sheet.
• Label sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in this User's Guide. Labels exceeding this specification may not feed or print correctly and may cause damage to your machine.

Unprintable area when printing from a computer

The figures below show maximum unprintable areas. The unprintable areas may vary depending on the paper size or settings in the application you are using.

Usage	Document Size	Top (1) Bottom (3)	Left (2) Right (4)
Print	Letter	0.16 in. (4.23 mm)	0.16 in. (4.23 mm)
	A4	0.16 in. (4.23 mm)	0.16 in. (4.23 mm)
	Legal	0.16 in. (4.23 mm)	0.16 in. (4.23 mm)

Loading paper

Loading paper and print media

The machine can feed paper from the standard paper tray, multi-purpose tray or optional lower tray.

Print Quality

Choose one of the following print quality settings:

Normal (600 x 600 dpi)

600 × 600 dpi. Recommended for ordinary printing. Use this mode for good print quality with reasonable print speeds.

Fine (2400 dpi class)

2400 dpi class. The finest print mode. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since the print data is much larger than in Normal mode, processing time / data transfer time and print time will be longer.

NOTE

The print speed will change depending on the print quality setting you choose. Higher print quality takes longer to print, while lower print quality takes less time to print.

Color / Mono

You can change the Color/Mono settings in the printer driver as follows:

Auto

The machine checks the content of the document for color. If color is detected anywhere in the document, it will print the whole of the document using all the colors. In other words, it will mix some of the toners to help achieve every shade detected in the document, increasing the density of toner applied to the page. If no color content is detected, it will print the document in monochrome. The default setting on your machine is Auto.

Color

Whether the document contains color or just monochrome, your machine will print the document using all the colors.

Mono

Select Mono if the document has only black and grayscale text and objects. If your document contains color, then selecting Mono means it will print the document in 256 levels of gray using only the black toner.

NOTE

• The machine's color sensor is very sensitive and may perceive faded black text or an off-white background as color. If you know that your document is black and white and you want to conserve color toner, select Mono mode.
• If either the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a color document, the print job cannot be completed. You can cancel your print job and choose to start the print job again in Mono mode, as long as Black toner is available.

Document Type

Use Document Type to select the optimal settings for printing the relevant type of data.

■ Print Quality

Choose one of the following print quality settings:

Normal (600 x 600 dpi)

600 dpi class. Recommended for ordinary printing. Use this mode for good print quality with reasonable print speeds.

• Fine (2400 dpi class)

2400 dpi class. The finest print mode. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since the print data is much larger than in Normal mode, processing time, data transfer time, and print time will be longer.

Media Type

You can use the following types of media in your machine. For the best print quality, select the type of media you are using.

• Plain Paper
  Thin Paper
  Thick Paper
• Thicker Paper
  Bond Paper
• Envelopes

  Env. Thin
  Recycled Paper
  Label
  Glossy Paper

Toner Save Mode

Conserve toner use with this feature. When you set Toner Save Mode to On, print appears lighter. The default setting is Off.

NOTE

We do not recommend Toner Save Mode for printing Photo or grayscale images.

Sleep Time [Min.]

When the machine does not receive data for a certain period of time, it enters Sleep mode. In Sleep mode, the machine acts as though it were turned off. When you choose Printer Default, the timeout setting will be reset to the specific time set at the factory; this can be altered in the driver.

While the machine is in Sleep mode, the Touchscreen's backlight turns off, but the machine can still receive data. Receiving a print job will wake up the machine to start printing.

Color / Mono

You can change the Color/Mono settings in the printer driver as follows:

- Auto

The machine checks the content of the document for color. If color is detected anywhere in the document, it will print the whole of the document using all the colors. In other words, it will mix some of the toners to help achieve every shade detected in the document, increasing the density of toner applied to the page. If no color content is detected, it will print the document in monochrome. The default setting on your machine is Auto.

Color

Whether the document contains color or just monochrome, your machine will print the document using all the colors.

- Mono

Select this mode if the document has only black and grayscale text and objects. If your document contains color, then selecting Mono means it will print the document in 256 levels of gray using only the black toner.

NOTE

• The machine's color sensor is very sensitive and may perceive faded black text or an off-white background as color. If you know that your document is black and white and you want to conserve color toner, select Mono mode.
• If either the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a color document, the print job cannot be completed. You can cancel your print job and choose to start the print job again in Mono mode, as long as Black toner is available.

Color Mode

The following options are available in Color Matching mode:

Normal

This is the Default color mode.

Vivid

The color of all elements are adjusted to become a more vivid color.

• None

Improve Gray Color

Halftone Screen Lock

This lock stops other applications from modifying the Halftone settings. The default setting is On.

High Quality Image Printing

You can get high quality image printing. If you set High Quality Image Printing to On, the print speed will be slower.

Improve Print Output

This feature allows you to improve a print quality problem.

• Reduce Paper Curl

If you choose this setting, the paper curl may be reduced. If you are printing only a few pages, you do not have to choose this setting. We recommend changing the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thin setting.

NOTE

This operation will decrease the temperature of the machine's fusing process.

• Improve Toner Fixing

If you choose this setting, the toner fixing capabilities may be improved. If this selection does not provide enough improvement, change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thick setting.

NOTE

This operation will increase the temperature of the machine's fusing process.

Important information for choosing your paper

The information in this section will help you choose paper to use with this machine.

NOTE

If you use paper that is not recommended, a paper jam or misfeed may occur in the machine.

Before you buy a large quantity of paper

Make sure that the paper is appropriate for the machine.

Paper for plain paper copies

Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying. The usage is usually written on the paper's package. Check the package to see whether it is appropriate for laser printers. Use paper that is appropriate for laser printers.

Basis weight

The basis weight of the paper for general use varies in different countries. We recommend using paper that weighs 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90g / m^2 ), although this machine is able to cope with thinner or thicker paper than these weights.

Long grain and short grain

The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacturing. Paper can be classified into two types, long grain and short grain.

Long grain paper fibers run in the same direction as the long edge of the paper. Short grain paper fibers run perpendicular to the long edge of the paper. Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain. We recommend using long grain paper for this machine. Short grain paper is too weak for the paper transport of the machine.

Acid paper and neutralized paper

Paper can be classified as either acid paper or neutralized paper.

Though modern paper manufacture methods started with acid paper, neutralized paper is recently taking the place of acid paper because of environmental issues.

However, many forms of acid paper can be found in recycled paper. We recommend using neutralized paper for this machine.

Use an acid paper check pen to distinguish acid paper from neutral paper.

Print surface

The characteristics of the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper may vary a little.

Usually, the opening side of the paper ream package is the print side. Follow the instructions on the paper package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow.

Important information for the toner cartridge life

Color/Mono setting in the printer driver

Users can change the Color/Mono settings on the printer driver as follows:

Auto

The machine checks the content of the document for color. If color is detected anywhere in the document, it will print the whole of the document using all the colors. In other words, it will mix some of the toners to help achieve every shade detected in the document, increasing the density of toner applied to the page. If no color content is detected, it will print the document in monochrome.

The default setting on your machine is Auto.

NOTE

The machine's color sensor is very sensitive and may perceive faded black text or an off-white background as color. If you know that your document is black and white and you want to conserve color toner, select Mono mode.

Color

Whether the document contains color or just monochrome, your machine will print the document using all the colors.

Mono

Select this mode if the document has only black and grayscale text and/or objects. If your document contains color, this mode prints the document in 256 levels of gray using the black toner.

NOTE

If either the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a color document, the print job cannot be completed. You can cancel your print job and choose to start the print job again in Mono mode, as long as Black toner is available.

For more information about the settings in the printer driver, see Chapter 2: Driver and Software.

Toner Cartridge Life

This product detects the life of the toner cartridges using the following two methods:

Detection by counting the dots of each color that are necessary to create an image
Detection by counting the rotations of the developer roller

This product counts the dots of each color used to print every document and the rotations of each toner cartridge's developer roller. The print operation will stop when either one of the upper limits are reached. The upper limit is set above the number of dots or rotations required for the cartridge to perform consistently with its advertised page yield (for more information on page yield, please visit http://www.brother.com/pageyield). This feature is intended to reduce the risk of poor print quality and damage to the machine.

There are two messages that indicate when the toner nears or reaches its life end: Toner Low and Replace Toner.

Appendix

Toner Low is displayed on the LCD when the number of dots or rotations of the developer roller nears its maximum count: Replace Toner is displayed on the LCD when the number of dots or rotations of the developer roller reaches its maximum count.

Color Correction

The number of developer roller rotations that are counted may not only be for normal operations such as printing, but also for machine adjustments, such as Color Calibration and Color Registration.

Color Calibration (Adjustment of Color Density)

To obtain stable print quality, the density of each toner cartridge needs to be maintained at a fixed value. If the density balance between the colors cannot be kept, the tint becomes unstable, and accurate color reproduction becomes unavailable. The toner density can change due to chemical changes to the toner that affect its electrical charge, deterioration of the developer unit, and temperature and humidity levels in the device. When calibration occurs, the density level adjustment test patterns are printed on the belt unit.

Calibration is mainly performed at the following times:

• When the user manually selects calibration from the operation panel or the printer driver. (Please perform calibration if color density needs to be improved.)
• When a used toner cartridge is replaced with a new one.
• When the printer senses that the ambient temperature and humidity have changed.
• When a specified number of printed pages is reached.

Color Registration (Correction of Color Position)

In this device, the drum unit and developer unit are prepared for black (K), yellow (Y), magenta (M), and cyan (C), respectively. Four color images are combined into one image, and therefore color registration errors (i.e., how the four color images align) might occur. When registration errors occur, registration correction test patterns are printed on the belt unit.

Registration is mainly performed at the following times:

• When the user manually selects registration from the operation panel.
  (Pleases perform registration if a color registration error needs to be corrected.)
• When a specified number of printed pages is reached.
