USER’S GUIDE

English: HS3 User’s Guide, Chapter 2
Do not use ordinary transparencies designed for photocopiers or laser printers.
Use Brother original transparencies which are designed for the HS-5000/5300
printers.
Before printing on transparencies, the printer needs to adjust its temperature for
transparencies. It may take around 1 minute.
If the paper does not load from the sheet feeder, use the manual feed slot and try
again.
When using media with holes, such as pre-punched organizer sheets, be careful
not to print on the hole. The inside of the printer will be stained with ink and it
may damage the printer.
Before using any paper, make sure that it is not curled. Feeding curled paper can
cause paper jams and misfeeds.
Some paper may become curled by the printers heat during printing. You can
prevent the paper from curling by having a top margin of 12.7 mm or more.
Do not use paper pre-printed by a laser or inkjet printer. Do not print on both
sides of the paper. The printer heat will make pre-printed laser toner / ink melt
again.
Prior to loading paper, check the type of media and select the appropriate
position of the head gap lever. Refer to “SHEET FEEDER” in this Chapter for
more information.
