Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable. Use paper that is made for plain-paper copying. Use paper that is 75 to 90 g/m2 (20 to 24 lb). Use neutral paper. Do not use acidic or alkaline paper. Use long-grain paper. Use paper with a moisture content of approximately 5%. This printer can use recycled paper that meets DIN 19309 specifications.
DO NOT use ink jet paper because it may cause a paper jam or damage your printer.
Note If you use paper that is not recommended, a paper jam or misfeed may occur in the printer. (To help you choose which paper to use with this printer, see Important information for choosing your paper on page 177.)

Types of envelopes

Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes may have feed and print quality problems due to the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, wellcreased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two pieces of paper. 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 printer. Before you print a lot of envelopes, test one to make sure that the print results are what you want. Brother does not recommend a particular envelope because envelope manufacturers may change the envelope specifications. You are responsible for the quality and performance of the envelopes you use. Do not use damaged, curled, wrinkled, irregularly shaped, extremely shiny or textured envelopes. Do not use envelopes with clasps, snaps, tie strings, self-adhesive components, windows, holes, cutouts or perforations. Do not use envelopes that are of a baggy construction, not sharply creased, embossed (have raised writing on them) or pre-printed on the inside. Do not use envelopes that were previously printed by a laser printer. Do not use envelopes that cannot be arranged when put in a pile. Do not use envelopes that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the printer.

After you have printed approximately 20,000 pages at 5% coverage for CMYK each, you must change the waste toner box. The actual number of printed pages will vary depending on the print jobs and paper you use. Waste Toner Soon
Waste Toner Box Full message
When the waste toner box is full, the following message appears on the LCD and the printer will stop printing. When you see this message, you must replace the waste toner box: Waste Toner Full
DO NOT reuse the waste toner box. DO NOT put the waste toner box into a fire. It could explode. Be careful not to spill the toner. DO NOT inhale or allow it to get into your eyes.
Replacing the waste toner box
We recommend that you place the drum unit and belt unit on a clean, flat surface with a piece of disposable paper underneath it in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, wipe or wash it off with cold water at once. To prevent damage to the printer from static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes shown in the illustration.
Remove the waste toner box from the printer using the green handle.
Handle the waste toner cartridges carefully in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.

Note We recommend that you clean the corona wire for each of the colors. If you want to clean only the corona wire of the color that caused the print quality problem, see the illustration below to identify the position of each of the corona wires.
1 Corona wire cover for Black (K) 2 Corona wire cover for Yellow (Y) 3 Corona wire cover for Magenta (M) 4 Corona wire cover for Cyan (C)
Repeat steps d to f to clean each of the remaining corona wires.

1.C - Cyan

Cleaning the drum unit
If you have print quality problems, clean the drum unit as follows:
Pull the drum unit out from the printer and pull all the toner cartridge out from the drum unit. See steps a to d in Replacing the drum unit on page 105-107. Turn the drum unit over by holding the green handle. Make sure that the drum unit gears (1) are on the left hand side.
We recommend that you place the drum unit on a clean, flat surface with a piece of disposable paper underneath it in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.
See the print sample to identify the color causing the problem. The color of the spots is the color of the drum you should clean. For example, if the spots are cyan, you should clean the drum for cyan. Put the print sample in front of the drum, and find the exact position of the poor print.
Turn the drum unit gear toward you by hand while looking at the surface of the drum (1).
When you have found the mark on the drum that matches the print sample, wipe the surface of the drum gently with a cotton swab until the dust or paper powder on the surface comes off.
DO NOT clean the surface of the photosensitive drum with a sharp object.
Turn the drum unit gear toward you by hand to return it to the home position. The home position of each drum can be identified by matching the number on the drum unit gear to the same number on the side of the drum unit as shown in the illustration. Make sure that the number on each of the four drum unit gears matches the corresponding number on the side of the drum unit.
Using the green handles turn the drum unit back over. Put all the toner cartridges back in the drum unit and put the drum unit in the printer. See steps f to h on page 108-109.

Call service messages

Call service message Print Unable ## Action Turn off the printer. Wait a few seconds, then turn it on again. If this does not clear the problem, call your dealer or a Brother Customer Service.

Paper handling

First, make sure that you are using paper that meets Brother recommended paper specifications. (See About paper on page 6.)
Problem The printer does not feed paper. Recommendation If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, straighten it before printing. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper. Turn the stack over and put it back in the paper tray. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again. Make sure that manual feed mode is not chosen in the printer driver. The printer does not feed paper from the MP tray. The printer does not feed envelopes. Fan the paper well and put it back in firmly. Make sure that you have chosen the MP Tray in the Paper Source of the printer driver. The printer can feed envelopes from the multi-purpose tray. You must set up your application to print on the size of envelopes you are using. This is usually done in the page setup or document setup menu of your software. (See your application manual.) Clear the jammed paper. (See Paper jams and how to clear them on page 147.) Make sure that the cable is connected to the printer. Make sure that you have chosen the correct printer driver. When printing on normal paper, it creases. The paper slides off the top output tray. Change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thin setting. Pull out and lift up the output tray support flap.
A paper jam has occurred. The printer does not print.
Paper jams and how to clear them
If paper jams inside the printer, the printer will stop. One of the following LCD messages will appear to tell you where to find the jammed paper.
Jam MP Tray (1) Paper jam in the MP tray. (See page 148.) Jam Tray 1 (2) Paper jam in the standard paper tray (Tray 1). (See page 148.) Jam Tray 2 (3) Paper jam in the lower tray (Tray 2). (See page 148.) Jam Duplex (4) Paper jam underneath the standard paper tray (Tray 1) or in the fuser unit. (See page 150.) Jam Rear (5) Paper jam where the paper comes out of the printer. (See page 153.) Jam Inside (6) Paper jam inside the printer. (See page 156.) If the error message still appears on the LCD after you remove the jammed paper, there may be more paper jammed somewhere else. Check the printer thoroughly. After you have removed all the jammed paper, open the front cover and then close it again to start printing. Note Always remove all paper from the paper tray and straighten the stack when you add new paper. This helps prevent multiple sheets of paper from feeding through the printer at one time and prevents paper jams.

Print surface The characteristics of the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper may vary a little. Usually, the opening side of the paper ream package is the print side. Follow the indications on the paper package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow. Moisture content Moisture content is the amount of water left in the paper after manufacture. It is one of the important characteristics of the paper. This can change greatly depending on the storage environment, although usually paper contains about 5% water by weight. Because paper often absorbs water, the amount of water can sometimes be about 10% in a high humidity environment. When the amount of water increases, the characteristics of the paper changes greatly. The fixing of the toner may become worse. For storage of the paper and during use, we recommend that the humidity of the surrounding environment be between 50% and 60%.
