You can use the following types of printmedia: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper,bond paper, recycled paper, transparencies,labels or envelopes.
For best results, follow the instructions below:
Use paper made for plain paper copying.
Use paper that is 60 to 105 g/m2
. Use labels and transparencies which are
designed for use in laser machines.
DO NOT put different types of paper in thepaper tray at the same time because itmay cause paper jams or misfeeds.
For correct printing, you must choose thesame paper size from your softwareapplication as the paper in the tray.
Avoid touching the printed surface of thepaper immediately after printing.
When you use transparencies removeeach sheet immediately to preventsmudging or paper jams.
Use long grain paper with a neutral Phvalue, and a moisture content of approx.5%.
Recommended paper andprint media 2
To get the best print quality, we suggest usingthe following paper.

The following paper specifications are suitable for this machine.
Handling and using specialpaper 2
The machine is designed to work well withmost types of xerographic and bond paper.
However, some paper variables may have aneffect on print quality or handling reliability.Always test samples of paper beforepurchasing to ensure desirable performance.Store paper in its original packaging and keepit sealed. Keep the paper flat and away frommoisture, direct sunlight and heat.
Some important guidelines when selectingpaper are:
Do not use inkjet paper because it may
cause a paper jam or damage yourmachine.
Preprinted paper must use ink that canwithstand the temperature of themachine's fusing process (200 degreescentigrade).
If you use bond paper, paper having arough surface or paper that is wrinkled orcreased, the paper may exhibit degradedperformance.
Basis weight 75-90 g/m2
Thickness 80-110 m
Roughness Higher than 20 sec.
Stiffness 90-150 cm3/100
Grain direction Long grain
Volume resistivity 10e9-10e11ohm
Surface resistivity 10e9-10e12ohm-cm
Filler CaCO3(Neutral)
Ash content Below 23 wt%

that is multipart or carbonless
that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listedabove, they may damage your machine.This damage is not covered under anyBrother warranty or service agreement.
Envelopes 2
Most envelopes will be suitable for yourmachine. However, some envelopes may
have feed and print-quality problemsbecause of the way they have been made. Asuitable envelope should have edges withstraight, well-creased folds and the leadingedge should not be thicker than two sheets ofpaper. The envelope should lie flat and not beof baggy or flimsy construction. You shouldbuy quality envelopes from a supplier whounderstands that you will be using theenvelopes in a laser machine.
Envelopes can only be fed from the MP tray.Do not print envelopes using duplex printing.We recommend that you print a test envelopeto make sure the print results are what youwant before you print or purchase a largequantity of envelopes.
Check the following:
Envelopes should have a lengthwisesealing flap.
The sealing flaps should be folded crisply
and correctly (irregularly cut or foldedenvelopes may cause paper jams).
Envelopes should consist of two layers ofpaper in the area circled in figure below.
1 Feeding direction
Envelope joints that are sealed by themanufacturer should be secure.

Labels 2
The machine will print on most types of labelsdesigned for use with a laser machine. Labels
should have an adhesive that is acrylic-basedsince this material is more stable at the hightemperatures in the fuser unit. Adhesivesshould not come in contact with any part ofthe machine, because the label stock maystick to the drum unit or rollers and causejams and print quality problems. No adhesiveshould be exposed between the labels.Labels should be arranged so that they coverthe entire length and width of the sheet. Usinglabels with spaces may result in labels
peeling off and causing serious jams or printproblems.
All labels used in this machine must be ableto withstand a temperature of 392 degreesFahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) for aperiod of 0.1 seconds.
Label sheets should not exceed the paperweight specifications described in this UsersGuide. Labels exceeding this specificationmay not feed or print correctly and may cause
damage to your machine.
Labels can be fed from the MP Tray only.
Types of labels to avoid 2
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled,wrinkled or an unusual shape.
IMPORTANTDO NOT feed part used label sheets. Theexposed carrier sheet will damage yourmachine.
