1 General information Using the documentation Note 1 Thank you for buying a Brother machine! Reading the documentation will help you make the most of your machine. Symbols and conventions used in the documentation The following symbols and conventions are used throughout the documentation. Bold Bold style identifies keys on the machine control panel or computer screen. Italics Italicized style emphasizes an important point or refers you to a related topic.
General information Accessing the Software User’s Guide and Network User’s Guide (DCP-7045N only) c 1 This User’s Guide does not contain all the information about the machine such as how to use the advanced features of Printer, Scanner and Network (DCP-7045N only). When you are ready to learn detailed information about these operations, read the Software User’s Guide and Network User’s Guide (DCP-7045N only).
Chapter 1 How to find scanning instructions 1 e Double-click the top page file to view the User’s Guide, Software User’s Guide and Network User’s Guide (DCP7045N only) in HTML format. f Click the documentation you want to read. There are several ways you can scan documents.
General information Control panel overview 1 1 DCP-7030, DCP-7040 and DCP-7045N have the same keys. 1 Print key Job Cancel Cancels a programmed print job and clears it from the machine’s memory. To cancel multiple print jobs, hold down this key until the LCD shows Job Cancel (All). 2 Scan key Puts the machine in Scan mode. (For details about scanning, see the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.) 3 Copy keys: Options You can quickly and easily choose temporary settings for copying.
2 Loading paper and documents Loading paper and print media The machine can feed paper from the standard paper tray or manual feed slot. 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 choose 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.
Loading paper and documents c Put paper in the tray, and make sure that the paper is below the maximum paper mark (1). The side to be printed on must be face down. 1 Loading paper in the manual feed slot 2 You can load envelopes and special print media one at a time into this slot. Use the manual feed slot to print or copy on labels, envelopes or thicker paper.
Chapter 2 c Using both hands, slide the manual feed slot paper guides to the width of the paper that you are going to use. Printing on thick paper, bond paper, labels and envelopes 2 When the back output tray is pulled down, the machine has a straight paper path from the manual feed slot through to the back of the machine. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on thick paper, labels or envelopes. Note • Remove each printed sheet or envelope immediately to prevent a paper jam.
Loading paper and documents c Using both hands, slide the manual feed slot paper guides to the width of the paper that you are going to use. Note • Put the paper into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up. • Make sure that the print media (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 11) is straight and in the proper position on the manual feed slot. If it is not, the paper or the transparency may not be fed correctly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
Chapter 2 Unprintable area 2 Unprintable area for copies 2 The printable area of your machine begins at approximately 3 mm from the top and bottom and 2 mm from both sides of the paper. 2 1 3 mm 2 2 mm Note This unprintable area shown above is for a single copy or a 1 in 1 copy using A4 size paper. The unprintable area changes with the paper size.
Loading paper and documents Acceptable paper and other print media Recommended paper and 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, bond paper, recycled paper, transparencies, labels or envelopes. To get the best print quality, we suggest using the following paper. Paper Type Item Plain Paper Xerox Premier TCF 80 g/m2 Use paper that is 75 to 90 g/m2.
Chapter 2 Paper capacity of the paper trays Paper Tray Manual Feed Slot 2 Paper size Paper types No. of sheets A4, Letter, Executive, A5, A6, B5, B6. Plain paper and recycled paper up to 250 [80 g/m2] Transparency up to 10 Width: 76.2 to 220 mm Plain paper, recycled paper, bond paper, Length: 116 to 406.4 mm envelopes, labels and transparencies 1 Recommended paper specifications 2 The following paper specifications are suitable for this machine.
Loading paper and documents Types of paper to avoid CAUTION Some types of paper may not perform well or may cause damage to your machine.
Chapter 2 Types of envelopes to avoid 2 • with double flaps as shown in figure below 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 • with sealing flaps that have not been folded at purchase • with sealing flaps as shown in figure below • that are embossed (have raised writing on them)
Loading paper and documents 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 drum unit or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the labels.
Chapter 2 Documents must be from 148 to 215.9 mm wide and from 148 to 355.6 mm long, and of a standard weight 80 g/m2. a Note (DCP-7040 and DCP-7045N) To use the scanner glass, the ADF must be empty.
