Simultaneous Printing/Faxing
Your machine can print data from your computer while sending or receiving a
fax, or while scanning information into the computer. However, when the
machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing
operation, and then resumes when copying or fax receiving is complete. Fax
sending continues during PC printing. (See
Acceptable Paper , Page 2-6.)
Choosing Acceptable Paper
We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of paper)
on the machine before purchasing large quantities.
■
Avoid feeding carrier sheets with labels exposed, or your machine will be
damaged.
■
Avoid using coated paper, such as vinyl coated paper.
■
Avoid using preprinted or highly textured paper.
For optimum printing, use a recommended type of paper, especially plain paper
and transparencies. For more information on paper specifications, consult your
nearest Brother authorized sales representative or the place where you
purchased your machine.
■
Use labels or transparencies that are designed for use in laser printers.
■
For the best print quality, we recommend using long-grained paper.
■
If you are using special paper, and the paper has problems feeding from the
paper cassette, try again using the manual feed slot.
■
You can use recycled paper in this machine.
