Printing Methods Acceptable paper and other print media 1 1 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 205). 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.
Printing Methods Recommended paper specifications 1 1 The following paper specifications are appropriate for this machine: Basis Weight 75-90 gsm Thickness 80-110 m Roughness Higher than 20 sec.
Printing Methods Handling and using special paper 1 1 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.
Printing Methods Envelopes 1 1 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.
Printing Methods • with sealing flaps that are not folded down when purchased 1 • 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. Labels 1 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.
