IMPORTANT Using non-Brother supplies may affect the print quality, hardware performance, and machine reliability. 1. To get the best print quality, we suggest using recommended print media. Make sure you use paper that meets our specifications.
Page 542 Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Contact Brother customer service. • Select Thick Paper mode in the printer driver or use thinner paper than you are currently using. • Select the appropriate media type in the menu setting. • Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as high humidity can cause hollow print.
Page 543 Printed pages have toner stains down the page • The fuser unit may be contaminated. Contact Brother customer service. • Make sure foreign material such as a torn piece of paper, sticky notes or dust is not inside the machine and around the toner cartridge and drum unit.
Page 544 Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Curled or wavy • Open the back cover (face up output tray) to let the printed paper exit onto the face up output tray. • Choose Reduce Paper Curl mode in the printer driver when you do not use our recommended print media.
