Loading paper 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.
Chapter 2 Envelopes 2 Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and printquality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds. 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.
Loading paper Labels 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.

Printing difficulties (continued) Difficulties Suggestions The machine does not print on both sides of the paper even though the printer driver setting is Duplex. Check the paper size setting in the printer driver. You need to choose A4 paper The machine does not change to Direct Print mode when a USB flash memory drive is connected to the USB direct interface. When the machine is in Deep Sleep mode, the machine does not wake up even if you connect a USB flash memory drive to the USB direct interface.
Troubleshooting Paper handling difficulties (continued) Difficulties Suggestions The machine does not feed paper from the MP Tray when using a large stack of paper. Fan the paper well and make sure the paper is under the maximum paper mark (1). Stagger the pages and put them in the tray until you feel the top page touch the feed rollers as shown in the illustration. 1 How do I print on envelopes? You can load envelopes in the MP tray.
Printing received faxes (continued) Difficulties Suggestions Received faxes appear as split or blank pages. Left and right margins are cut off or a single page is printed on two pages. See Paper Size uu page 16. Turn on Auto Reduction. uu Advanced User's Guide: Printing a reduced incoming fax Telephone line or connections Difficulties Suggestions Dialling does not work. (No dial tone) Check all line cord connections.
Troubleshooting Receiving faxes Difficulties Suggestions Cannot receive a fax. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is plugged into the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket of the machine. If you subscribe to DSL or VoIP services, please contact your service provider for connection instructions. Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode.
Receiving faxes (continued) Difficulties Suggestions Cannot receive a fax. If you are using a telephone answering machine (External TAD mode) on the same line as the Brother machine, make sure your answering machine is set up correctly. (continued) See Connecting an external TAD uu page 37. 1 Connect the external TAD as shown in the illustration uupage 37. 2 Set your answering machine to answer in one or two rings. 3 Record the outgoing message on your answering machine.
Troubleshooting Sending faxes (continued) Difficulties Suggestions Transmission Verification Report says RESULT:ERROR. There is probably temporary noise or static on the line. Try sending the fax again. If you are sending a PC-Fax message and get RESULT:ERROR on the Transmission Verification Report, your machine may be out of memory.
Copying difficulties (continued) Difficulties Suggestions Vertical black line appears in copies. Black vertical lines on copies are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid on the scanner glass, or the corona wire is dirty. Clean the glass strip and scanner glass and also the white bar and white plastic above them. See Cleaning the scanner glass uu page 78 and Cleaning the corona wire uu page 80. Copies are blank. Make sure you are loading the document correctly.
Troubleshooting Network difficulties Difficulties Suggestions Cannot print over a wired Network. Make sure your machine is powered on, is online and in the Ready mode. Print the Network Configuration Report to verify your Network settings. uu Advanced User's Guide: Reports 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.
Other difficulties Difficulties Suggestions The machine will not turn on. Adverse conditions on the power connection (such as lightning or a power surge) may have triggered the machine’s internal safety mechanisms. Turn the machine off and unplug the power cord. Wait for ten minutes, then plug in the power cord and turn the machine on. If the problem is not solved and you are using a power breaker, disconnect it to make sure it is not the problem.
Troubleshooting Setting Dial Tone detection When you send a fax automatically, by default your machine will wait for a fixed amount of time before it starts to dial the number. By changing the Dial Tone setting to Detection you can make your machine dial as soon as it detects a dial tone. This setting can save a small amount of time when sending a fax to many different numbers. If you change the setting and start having problems with dialling you should change back to the default No Detection setting.
Improving the print quality If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 4, 2, 3). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections and try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem, check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a print quality problem, check the chart below and follow the recommendations.
