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 The machine is designed to work well with most envelopes. 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. Envelopes can only be fed through the multipurpose tray.
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.

Troubleshooting Printing difficulties (continued) Difficulty Suggestions The headers or footers appear when the document is displayed on the screen but they are not on the printed page. There is an unprintable area on the top and bottom of the page. Adjust the top and bottom margins in your document to allow for this (see Unscannable and unprintable areas on page 29). The machine prints unexpectedly or it prints garbage. Press to cancel print jobs.
Chapter B Printing received faxes Difficulty Condensed print Horizontal streaks Suggestions Usually this is caused by a poor telephone connection. Make a copy; if your copy looks good, you probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone line. Ask the other party to send the fax again. Top and bottom sentences are cut off Missing lines Vertical black lines when receiving The corona wires for printing may be dirty.
Troubleshooting Receiving Faxes Difficulty Suggestions Cannot receive a fax. Check all line cord connections. Make sure the telephone line cord is directly plugged into the telephone wall socket and the LINE socket of the machine. If you subscribe to DSL or VoIP services, contact your service provider for connection instructions. Make sure the machine is in the correct Receive Mode.
Chapter B Receiving Faxes (continued) Difficulty 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 (see Connecting an external TAD on page 54). (continued) 1 Connect the external TAD as shown in the illustration, see page 54. 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) Difficulty Suggestions Transmission Verification Report says RESULT:ERROR. There may be 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.
Chapter B Copying difficulties (continued) Difficulty Suggestions Copies are blank. Make sure you are loading the document correctly (see Using the automatic document feeder (ADF) on page 38 or Using the scanner glass on page 39). Scanning difficulties Difficulty Suggestions TWAIN or WIA errors appear when starting to scan. (Windows®) Make sure the Brother TWAIN or WIA driver is selected as the primary source in your scanning application.
Troubleshooting Network difficulties Difficulty Suggestions Cannot print and scan over a network after completing the software installation. When the Cannot print to the networked printer. screen appears, follow the onscreen instructions. The network scanning feature does not work. (Windows® and Macintosh) If the problem is not solved, see Software and Network User's Guide. The network scanning feature may not work due to the firewall settings. Change or disable the firewall settings.
Chapter B Other difficulties Difficulty 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. Press and hold down to turn off the machine and unplug the power cord. Wait for ten minutes, then plug in the power cord and press to turn on the machine. 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.
Chapter B Improving the print quality If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first ( B , All Settings, Printer, Print Options, Test Print). 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.
