Definitions of warnings, cautions, and notes

We use the following terms throughout this User’s Guide:

You must follow these warnings to prevent possible personal injury.

You must follow these instructions to make sure you use the printer properly and do not damage it.

Remember these useful tips when you use the printer.

To use the printer safely

Caution

■Use neutral detergents for cleaning. Cleaning with volatile liquids such as thinner or benzene

will damage the surface of the printer.

■Do not use cleaning materials that contain ammonia. They will damage the printer and the toner

cartridge.

After you have just used the printer, some parts inside the printer will be extremely hot. When you

open the front or back cover of the printer, never touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations

below.

The fuser unit is marked with a caution label. Please do NOT remove or damage the label.

There are high voltage electrodes inside the printer. Before you clean the printer, clear a paper jam

or replace parts, make sure you have turned off the power switch and unplugged the printer from

the AC power outlet/socket.

Do not handle the plug with wet hands - it might give you an electrical shock.

ABOUT THIS PRINTER 1 - 22

Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes will have feed and print

quality problems due to 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 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

many envelopes, test one to make sure that the print results are what you want.

Brother will 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.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper

■If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

■If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.

■You should use regular paper. Do not use bond paper.

■If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.

■(For manual duplex printing) When you put paper in the paper tray, first empty the tray of any other

paper then put the printed page in to the empty tray, with the printed side face up. (Do not add printed

pages to the top of a stack of unprinted paper.)

(For manual duplex printing )

For thick paper that has curled once the first side has been printed on, you cannot feed the paper

for the second time from the MP tray to allow the other side of the paper to be printed.

At the back of the printer, open the back output tray and push down the two blue tabs one on the

left and one on the right hand side (as shown in Figure 1-51). When you have finished printing, close

the back output tray to reset the two blue tabs back to their original position.

Carbon copy printing

Carbon copy printing enables you to automatically print one page data to different styles 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. If you put paper for ‘Sheet

1’ in the Tray 1 and paper for ‘Sheet 2’ in the MP tray, the printer will automatically feed paper for ‘Sheet

1’ from the Tray 1 and ‘Sheet 2’ from the MP tray.
