tray. The paper tray can feed many types of paper and envelopes. (For information about the Paper Tray and
Recommended paper, see Basic User’s Guide.)
2
a From your application, choose the Print command.
If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, choose Brother FAX-XXXX* as your printer
driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then click OK to begin
printing.
*(Where XXXX is your model name.)

Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper
2
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If paper is curled, turn over the stack, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or manual feed slot.
If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the
stack.
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.
If there is a paper jam, see Basic User’s Guide: Error and maintenance messages. If you have a print
quality problem, see Basic User’s Guide: Improving the print quality.
Manual duplex printing
2
The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the printer driver
instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well,
or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or thick paper is not recommended.

If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If paper is curled, turn over the stack, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or manual feed slot.
If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the
stack.
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.
If there is a paper jam, see Basic User’s Guide: Error and maintenance messages. If you have a print
quality problem, see Basic User’s Guide: Improving the print quality.
