1
Print quality may vary according to the type of paper you are using.
You can use the following types of print media: plain paper, thin paper, thick paper, thicker paper, bond paper,
recycled paper, labels or envelopes.
For best results, follow the instructions below:
DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams
or misfeeds.
For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size from your software application as the paper in
the tray.
Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing.
Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable.

Printing Methods
Handling and using special paper
1
The machine is designed to work well with most types of xerographic and bond paper. However, some paper
variables may have an effect on print quality or handling reliability. Always test samples of paper before
purchasing to ensure desirable performance. Store paper in its original packaging and keep it sealed. Keep
the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
1
Some important guidelines when selecting paper are:
DO NOT use inkjet paper because it may cause a paper jam or damage your machine.
Preprinted paper must use ink that can withstand the temperature of the machine’s fusing process 392 °F
(200 °C).
If you use bond paper, paper having a rough surface or paper that is wrinkled or creased, the paper may
exhibit degraded performance.
Types of paper to avoid
1
Important
Some types of paper may not perform well or may cause damage to your machine.
DO NOT use paper:
• that is highly textured
• that is extremely smooth or shiny
• that is curled or warped
1
1
1 A curl of 0.08 in. (2 mm) or greater may cause jams to occur.
• that is coated or has a chemical finish
• that is damaged, creased or folded
• that exceeds the recommended weight specification in this guide
• with tabs and staples
• with letterheads using low temperature dyes or thermography
• that is multipart or carbonless
• that is designed for inkjet printing
If you use any of the types of paper listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage is not
covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.
4
Printing Methods
Envelopes
1
Most envelopes designed for laser printers will be suitable for your machine. However, some envelopes may
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. 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 machine.
1
We recommend that you print a test envelope to make sure the print results are what you want.
Types of envelopes to avoid
1
Important
DO NOT use envelopes:
• that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape
• that are extremely shiny or textured
• with clasps, staples, snaps or tie strings
• with self-adhesive closures
• that are of a baggy construction
• that are not sharply creased
• that are embossed (have raised writing on them)
• that were previously printed by a laser machine
• that are pre-printed on the inside
• that cannot be arranged neatly when stacked
• that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the machine
• with edges that are not straight or consistently square
• with windows, holes, cut-outs or perforations
• with glue on surface as shown in figure below
• with double flaps as shown in figure below
• with sealing flaps that are not folded down when purchased
5
Printing Methods
• with each side folded as shown in figure below
1
If you use any of the types of envelopes listed above, they may damage your machine. This damage may
not be covered under any Brother warranty or service agreement.
Labels
1
The machine will print on most types of labels designed for use with a laser machine. Labels should have an
adhesive that is acrylic-based since this material is more stable at the high temperatures in the fuser unit.
Adhesives should not come in contact with any part of the machine, because the label stock may stick to the
drum unit or rollers and cause jams and print quality problems. No adhesive should be exposed between the
labels. Labels should be arranged so that they cover the entire length and width of the sheet. Using labels
with spaces may result in labels peeling off and causing serious jams or print problems.
All labels used in this machine must be able to withstand a temperature of 392 °F (200 °C) for a period of 0.1
seconds.
Types of labels to avoid
1
Do not use labels that are damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual shape.
Important
• Avoid feeding labels with the carrier sheet exposed because your machine will be damaged. DO NOT feed
partially used carrier sheets.
• Label sheets should not exceed the paper weight specifications described in this User’s Guide. Labels
exceeding this specification may not feed or print properly and may cause damage to your machine.
• DO NOT reuse or insert labels that have previously been used or are missing a few labels on the sheet.

the machine acts as though it were turned off. When you choose Printer Default, the timeout setting will
be reset to the specific time set at the factory; this can be altered in the driver. If you want to change the
Sleep Time, choose Manual and then enter the time in the text box on the driver.
While the machine is in Sleep Mode, the LCD shows Sleep, but the machine can still receive data.
Receiving a print job will automatically wake up the machine to start printing.

provide enough improvement, change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thick setting.
Note
This operation will increase the temperature of the machine's fusing process.
Ghost Reduction Setting
If you are using the machine in a high humidity environment this setting may reduce ghosting on the paper.
Do not use this setting if the ambient humidity is below 30% or ghosting may increase.

Order No. DR-720
A new drum unit can print approximately 30,000 Letter or A4 size single-sided pages.
Note
• There are many factors that determine the actual drum life, such as the temperature, humidity, type of
paper, type of toner used and so on. Under ideal conditions, the average drum life is estimated at
approximately 30,000 pages. The actual number of pages that your drum will print may be significantly
less than this estimate. Because we have no control over the many factors that determine the actual drum
life, we cannot guarantee a minimum number of pages that will be printed by your drum.
• For best performance, use only genuine Brother toner. The machine should be used only in a clean,
dust-free environment with adequate ventilation.

• Printing with a non-Brother drum unit may reduce not only the print quality but also the quality and life of
the machine itself. Warranty coverage does not apply to problems caused by the use of a non-Brother

If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (see Machine Info. uu page 78). If the printout looks
good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable or try the machine on another
computer. If the printout has a quality problem, check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a
print quality problem, check the chart below and follow the recommendations.
Note
Using non-Brother supplies may affect the print quality, hardware performance, and machine reliability.
a To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. Check that you are using paper
b Check that the drum unit and toner cartridge are installed properly.

Examples of poor print quality
Recommendation
Take out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly. Hold the assembly level
with both hands and gently shake it from side to side several times to spread
the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

Appendix
Important information for choosing your paper
A
The information in this section will help you choose paper to use with this machine.
Note
If you use paper that is not recommended, a paper jam or misfeed may occur in the machine.
Before you buy a large quantity of paper
A
Make sure that the paper is suitable for the machine.
Paper for plain paper copies
A
Paper is divided by usage, such as paper for printing and paper for copying. The usage is usually written on
the paper’s package. Check the package to see whether it is suitable for laser printers. Use paper that is
suitable for laser printers.
Basis weight
A
A
The basis weight of the paper in general use varies in different countries. We recommend that you use paper
that weighs 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2), although this machine is able to cope with thinner or thicker paper
than these weights.
Long grain and short grain
A
The pulp fiber of the paper is aligned during paper manufacturing. And paper can be classified into two types,
long grain and short grain.
Long grain paper fibers run in the same direction as the long edge of the paper. Short grain paper fibers run
perpendicular to the long edge of the paper. Though most plain paper for copying is long grain, some is short
grain. We recommend that you use long grain paper for this machine. Short grain paper is too weak for the
paper transport of the machine.
Acid paper and neutralized paper
A
Paper can be classified as either acid paper or neutralized paper.
Though modern paper manufacture methods started with acid paper, neutralized paper is recently taking the
place of acid paper because of environmental issues.
However, many forms of acid paper can be found in recycled paper. We recommend that you use neutralized
paper for this machine.
You can use an acid paper check pen to distinguish acid paper from neutral paper.
Print surface
A
The characteristics of the face side and reverse side of a sheet of paper may vary a little.
Usually, the opening side of the paper ream package is the print side. Follow the instructions on the paper
package. Typically, the print side is indicated by an arrow.
