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 software application as the paper
in the tray.
• See What kind of paper can I use? on page 1-4.
Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes will 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 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.
Note
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.
