Handling and using special paper
2
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.
Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:
DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may cause a paper jam or damage your machine.
Preprinted paper must use ink that can withstand the temperature of the machine’s fusing process (200 degrees centigrade).
If you use bond paper, paper having a rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or creased, the paper may exhibit degraded performance.
Types of paper to avoid
IMPORTANT
Some types of paper may not perform well or may cause damage to your machine.
DO NOT use paper:
• that is highly textured
• that is extremely smooth or shiny
• that is curled or warped
1
2
1
1 2 mm or greater curl may cause jams to occur.
• that is coated or has a chemical finish
• that is damaged, creased or folded
• that exceeds the recommended weight specification in this guide
• with tabs and staples
• with letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography
• that is multipart or carbonless
• that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listed they may damage your machine. This damage is not covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.

Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Envelopes
Most envelopes will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may have feed and print-quality problems because of the way they have been made. A suitable envelope should have edges with straight, well-creased folds and the leading edge should not be thicker than two sheets 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 machine.
Envelopes can only be fed from the Manual feed slot. We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want before you print or purchase a large quantity of envelopes.
Check the following:
Envelopes should have a lengthwise sealing flap.
The sealing flaps should be folded crisply and correctly (irregularly cut or folded envelopes may cause paper jams).
Envelopes should consist of two layers of paper in the area circled in the figure below.

Loading paper and documents
Types of envelopes to avoid
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use envelopes:
• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape
• that are extremely shiny or textured
• with clasps, staples, snaps or tie strings
• with self-adhesive closures
• that are of a baggy construction
• that are not sharply creased
• that are embossed (have raised writing on them)
• that were previously printed by a laser/LED machine
• that are pre-printed on the inside
• that cannot be arranged neatly when stacked
• that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the machine
• with edges that are not straight or consistently square
• with windows, holes, cut-outs or perforations
• with glue on surface as shown in figure below
2
2
1
1
1 Feeding direction
Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.
We recommend that you do not print within 15 mm of the edges of envelopes.
• with double flaps as shown in figure below
19
Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
Chapter 2
• with sealing flaps that have not been folded at purchase
• with sealing flaps as shown below
• with each side folded as shown below
If you use any of the types of envelopes listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage may not be covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.
Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.
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.
Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire length and width of the sheet. Using labels with spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jams or print problems.
All labels used in this machine must be able to withstand a temperature of 200 degrees centigrade for a period of 0.1 seconds.
Label sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in this User’s
Guide. Labels exceeding this specification may not feed or print correctly and may cause damage to your machine.
Labels must be fed from the manual feed slot only.
2
Types of labels to avoid
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.
2
IMPORTANT
DO NOT feed part used label sheets. The exposed carrier sheet will damage your machine.

Paper handling difficulties
Difficulties
The machine does not load paper.
The LCD shows No Paper or a
Paper Jam message.
The machine does not feed paper from the manual feed slot.
How do I print on envelopes?
What paper can I use?
There is a paper jam.
Suggestions
If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.
If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put it back into 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.
Clean the paper pick-up roller. See Cleaning the paper pick-up rollers on page 75.
If the LCD shows the Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see
Make sure that Manual is chosen in the printer driver.
Make sure the paper or print media is loaded correctly in the manual feed slot.
See Loading paper in the manual feed slot on page 11.
You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your application must be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or Document Setup menu of your application. (See your application’s manual for more information.)
You can use thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper, envelopes and labels that are made for laser machines. (For details, see
Acceptable paper and other print media on page 16.)
Clear the jammed paper. (See Paper jams on page 61.)
Print quality difficulties
Difficulties
Printed pages are curled.
Printed pages are smeared.
Printouts are too light.
Suggestions
Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the paper tray.
Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the print media type you
are using. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 16.)
The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using,
or the print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See Acceptable
paper and other print media on page 16 and Basic tab in the Software User’s
Guide on the CD-ROM.)
If this problem occurs when making copies, set Toner Save mode to Off in
the machine menu settings. (See Toner Save on page 24.)
Set Toner Save mode to Off in the Advanced tab in the printer driver. (See
Advanced tab in the Software User’s Guide on the CD

Improving the print quality
If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 3, 2, 3). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections or 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 recommendation.

CAUTION
HOT SURFACE
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.
IMPORTANT
• Unpack the toner cartridge just before you put it in the machine. If a toner cartridge is 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.
IMPORTANT
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 toner cartridges
(TN-230BK/TN-230C/TN-230M/TN-230Y).
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 cartridges with this machine, or the refilling of empty cartridges with toner from other sources. If damage is caused to the drum unit or other part of this machine as a result of the use of toner or toner cartridges other than genuine Brother products due to the incompatibility or lack of suitability of those products with this machine, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.

Drum units
A new drum set (model no. DR-230CL) can print approximately 15,000 A4 or Letter size single-sided pages. The DR-230CL drum set contains 4 drum units -
1 Black (DR-230CL-BK) and 3 Colour
(DR-230CL-CMY). As the drums rotate in unison during the various stages of operation
(even if you are only printing in one colour) and because damage to a single drum unit is not likely, you will need to replace all of the drums at once. We have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum life, therefore we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum. The printer should be used only in a clean, dust-free environment with adequate ventilation. Drum wear and tear occurs due to use and rotation of the drum and interaction with paper, toner and other materials in the paper path.
When a drum reaches the factory-established rotation limit corresponding to the rated page yield, the product LCD display will advise you to replace the applicable drum(s). The product will continue to function, however, print quality may not be optimal.

Replacing the drum units on page 86.
IMPORTANT
For best performance, use only Genuine
Brother drum units and Genuine Brother toner units. Printing with a third-party drum unit or toner unit may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of the printer itself. Warranty coverage may not apply to problems caused by the use of a third-party drum unit or toner unit.

Drum End Soon(X) message. (X) indicates the drum unit colour that is near the end of its life. ((K) =Black, (Y)=Yellow,
(M)=Magenta, (C)=Cyan.) Call your
Brother dealer to buy a new drum unit
DR-230CL-BK (for Black) or a
DR-230CL-CMY (for either Y, M, C colours) and have it ready before you get a Replace Drums message. During the normal lifespan of a drum kit the
Drum End Soon(X) message will not appear. The message will only refer to a specific drum if a single unit has been replaced previously due to damage or error.
