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.

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.

■

Before you print envelopes, you must ‘fan’ the stack to avoid paper jams and misfeeds. 

■

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 manual 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? in this chapter.

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.
