2. Printing Methods
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.
„
Do not use envelopes that have been badly made, with edges that are not straight or consistently square.
If you use any of the types of envelopes listed above, they may damage your printer. This damage is not covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.
Note
• Do not put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
• Do not print envelopes using duplex printing.
• For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your application as the paper in the tray.

Paper orientation for manual duplex printing
The printer prints the second page first.
If you print 10 pages on 5 sheets of paper, it will print page 2 and then page 1 on the first sheet of paper. It will print page 4 and then page 3 on the second sheet of paper. It will print page 6 and then page 5 on the third sheet of paper, and so on.
When doing manual duplex printing, the paper must be put in the paper tray in the following way:
„ For the paper tray:
• Put the side to be printed on face down with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of the tray.
• To print on the second side, put the paper face up, with the leading edge (top) of the paper at the front of the tray.
• If letterhead paper is used, put the paper in the tray with the heading face up at the front of the tray.
• To print on the second side, put the heading face down at the front of the tray.
„
For the multi-purpose tray (MP tray):
• Put the side to be printed on face up with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.
• To print on the second side, put the paper face down, with the leading edge (top) of the paper in first.
• If letterhead paper is used, put it in with the heading face down and in first.
• To print on the second side, put the heading face up and in first.
Automatic duplex printing
Note
• The screens in this section are from Windows
®
XP. The screens on your PC may vary depending on your operating system.
• Use A4, Letter or Legal size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function.

2. Printing Methods
Carbon copy printing
Carbon copy printing allows you to automatically print one page of data on different kinds of paper by changing the paper source. You can make copies as though you are printing on carbon paper using a dot matrix printer. For example, you can print ‘Data A’ to ‘Sheet 1’ which is blue colored paper and then to ‘Sheet
2’ which is yellow colored and has some information already printed on it. If you put paper for ‘Sheet 1’ in Tray
1 and paper for ‘Sheet 2’ in the MP tray, the printer will automatically feed paper for ‘Sheet 1’ from Tray 1 and
‘Sheet 2’ from the MP tray.

6. Routine Maintenance
Replacing the toner cartridge
Note
• To ensure high quality printing, we recommend that you use only genuine Brother toner cartridges. When you want to buy toner cartridges, call the dealer you bought the printer from or Brother Customer Service.
• We recommend that you clean the printer when you replace the toner cartridge. See
a
Press the front cover release button and then open the front cover.
b
Take out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
CAUTION
We recommend that you put the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly on a piece of disposable paper or cloth in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.
To prevent damage to the printer from static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes shown in the illustration.
75
c
Push down the blue lock lever and take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit.
6. Routine Maintenance
CAUTION
DO NOT put a toner cartridge into a fire. It could explode, resulting in injuries.
Handle the toner cartridge carefully. If toner scatters on your hands or clothes, wipe or wash it off with cold water at once.
To avoid print quality problems, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations.
Note
• Be sure to seal up the toner cartridge tightly in a bag so that toner powder does not spill out of the cartridge.
• Discard the used toner cartridge according to local regulations, keeping it separate from domestic waste.
If you have questions, call your local waste disposal office.
d
Unpack the new toner cartridge. Hold the cartridge level with both hands and gently rock it from side to side five or six times to spread the toner evenly inside the cartridge.
76
6. Routine Maintenance
CAUTION
Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you put it in the printer. If toner cartridges are left unpacked for a long time the toner life will be shortened.
If an unpacked drum unit is put in direct sunlight or room light, the unit may be damaged.
Put the toner cartridge in the drum unit immediately after you have removed the protective cover. To prevent any degradation to the print quality, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations.
CAUTION
For USA and Canada
Brother strongly recommends that you do not refill the toner cartridge provided with your printer. We also strongly recommend that you continue to use only genuine Brother brand replacement toner cartridges. Use or attempted use of potentially incompatible toner and/or cartridges in the Brother machine may cause damage to the machine and/or may result in unsatisfactory print quality. Our warranty coverage does not apply to any problem that is caused by the use of unauthorized third party toner and/or cartridges. To protect your investment and obtain premium performance from the Brother machine, we strongly recommend the use of genuine Brother supplies.
CAUTION
For UK and other countries
Brother machines are designed to work with toner of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother branded toner cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance if toner or toner cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother branded cartridges with this machine.
If damage is caused to the drum unit or other part of this machine as a result of using other manufacturer’s products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.

6. Routine Maintenance
Drum unit
A new drum unit can print approximately 25,000 A4 or Letter size single-sided pages at 5% coverage.
Note
• There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as the temperature, humidity, type of paper, type of toner used, number of pages per print job and so on. Under ideal conditions, the average drum life is estimated at approximately 25,000 pages. The actual number of pages that your drum will print may be significantly less than this estimate. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.
• For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner. The printer should be used only in a clean, dustfree environment with adequate ventilation.
• Printing with a third-party drum unit may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the printer itself. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by the use of a third-party drum unit.
DRUM NEAR END message
DRUM NEAR END
If the LCD shows
DRUM NEAR END
, it means the drum unit is near the end of its life. We recommend that you replace the drum unit with a new one before there is a noticeable deterioration in the print quality.

Paper handling
First, make sure that you are using paper that meets Brother recommended paper specifications. See
Problem
The printer does not feed paper.
The printer does not feed paper from the MP tray.
The printer does not feed envelopes.
A paper jam has occurred.
The printer does not print.
When printing on normal paper, it creases.
When printing on Legal size paper or longer sized paper, the paper slides off the top output tray.
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.
„ Cut 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.
„ 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
„ Make sure that the cable is connected to the printer.
„ Make sure that you have chosen the proper printer driver.

The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacturing. And paper can be classified into two types, long grain and short grain.
Long grain paper’s fiber direction is parallel to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Short grain paper’s fiber direction is vertical to the carriage direction of the paper in the printer. Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short grain. We recommend that you use long grain paper for this printer.
Short grain paper is too weak for the paper carriage of the printer.
Acid paper and neutralized paper
Paper can be classified as either acid paper or neutralized paper.
Though modern paper manufacture methods started with acid paper, neutralized paper is recentry taking the place of acid paper because of environmental issues.
However, many forms of acid paper can be found in recycled paper. We recommend that you use neutralized paper for this printer.
You can use an acid paper check pen to distinguish acid paper from neutral paper.
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 ream of the paper 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%.

Data that follows ‘b’ or ‘B’ is read in as bar code data. Bar code data must end with the ‘ \ ’ code (5CH), which also ends this command. The acceptable bar code data is determined by the bar code mode selected by ‘t’ or ‘T’.
„
When CODE 39 is chosen with the parameter ‘t0’ or ‘T0’
Forty three characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘A’ to ‘Z’, ‘-’, ‘ . ’, ‘ (space)’, ‘$’, ‘ / ’, ‘+’, and ‘%’ can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters will cause a data error. The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. The bar code data automatically starts and ends with an asterisk ‘ * ’ (start character and stop character). If the received data has an asterisk ‘ * ’ at the beginning or end, the asterisk is regarded as a start character or stop character.
„ When Interleaved 2 of 5 is selected with the parameter ‘t1’ or ‘T1’:
Ten numerical characters ‘0’ to ‘9’ can be accepted as bar code data. Other characters cause a data error.
The number of characters for bar codes is not limited. This mode of bar codes needs even characters. If the bar code data has odd characters, ‘0’ is automatically added to the end of the bar code data.
128
A. Appendix
„ When FIM (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter ‘t3’ or ‘T3’
Characters ‘A’ to ‘D’ are valid and one digit of data can be printed. Upper-case and lower-case alphabet characters can be accepted.
„ When Post Net (US-Post Net) is selected with the parameter ‘t4’ or ‘T4’
Numbers ‘0’ to ‘9' can be data and it must end with a check digit. ‘?’ can be used instead of the check digit.
„ When EAN 8, EAN 13, or UPC A is selected with the parameter ‘t5’ or ‘T5’
Ten numbers ‘0’ to ‘9’ can be accepted as bar code data. The number of characters for bar codes is limited as follows:
EAN 8: Total 8 digits (7 digits + 1 check digit)
EAN 13: Total 13 digits (12 digits + 1 check digit)
UPC A: Total 12 digits (11 digits + 1 check digit)
A number of characters other than those stated above will cause a data error that results in the bar code data being printed as normal print data. If the check digit is not correct, the printer decides the correct check digit automatically so that the correct bar code data will be printed. When EAN13 is selected, adding
‘+’ and a two-digit or five-digit number after the data can create an add-on code.
„ When UPC-E is selected with the parameter ‘t6’ or ‘T6’:
The numbers ‘0’ to ‘9’ can be accepted as bar code data.
Eight digits
(standard format) The first character must be
‘
0
’
and the data must end with a check digit.
Total eight digits =
‘

’
plus 6 digits plus 1 check digit.
The first character and the last check digit are removed from the eight digit data.
1
‘?’ can be used instead of a check digit.
2
Adding ‘+’ and two-digit or five-digit number after the data creates an add-on code.
„ When Codebar is chosen with the parameter ‘t9’ or ‘T9’
Characters ‘0’ to ‘9’, ‘-’, ‘ . ’, ‘$’, ‘/’, ‘+’, ‘ : ’ can be printed. Characters ‘A’ to ‘D’ can be printed as a startstop code, which can be upper case or lower case. If there is no start-stop code, errors will happen. A check digit cannot be added and using ‘?’ causes errors.
„ When Code 128 Set A, Set B, or Set C is selected with the parameter ‘t12’ or ‘T12’, ‘t13’ or ‘T13’, or ‘t14’ or ‘T14’
Code 128 sets A, B and C can be individually selected. Set A shows characters Hex 00 to 5F. Set B includes characters Hex 20 to 7F. Set C includes the pairs 00 to 99. Switching is allowed between the code sets by sending %A, %B, or %C. FNC 1, 2, 3, and 4 are produced with %1, %2, %3, and %4. The SHIFT code, %S, allows temporary switching (for one character only) from set A to set B and vice versa. The ‘%’ character can be encoded by sending it twice.
„ When ISBN (EAN) is selected with the parameter ‘t130’ or ‘T130’
The same rules apply as for ‘t5’ or ‘T5’.
„ When ISBN (UPC-E) is selected with the parameter ‘t131’ or ‘T131’:
The same rules apply as for ‘t6’ or ‘T6’.
129
A. Appendix
