USING BROTHER MACHINE AS A PRINTER
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 resumes when copying or fax
receiving is complete. Fax sending continues during PC printing. (See
Acceptable Paper, page 2-5.)
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 labels with carrier sheets 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 recommend type of paper, especially plain
paper and transparencies. For more information on paper specifications,
consult your nearest authorized sales representative or the place where
you purchased your machine.
Use label 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.
