HL-5030/5040/5050/5070N SERVICE MANUAL 4.4 Printing on envelopes Use of any of the envelopes listed below may cause damage to the printer. Such damage is not covered under any warranty or service agreement. • Envelopes that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped • Envelopes that are extremely shiny or highly textured • Envelopes with clasps, snaps or tie strings • Envelopes with self-adhesive closures • Envelopes of baggy construction • Envelopes that are not sharply creased • Embossed envelopes • Envelopes that were previously printed by a laser printer • Envelopes that are pre-printed on the inside • Envelopes that cannot be arranged uniformly when placed in a pile • Envelopes constructed with paper that exceeds the paper weight specifications for the printer. • Poorly manufactured envelopes with edges that are not straight or consistently square. • Envelopes with transparent windows, holes, cutouts or perforations. NOTE: • Before printing envelopes, fan the stack well to avoid paper jams and misfeeds. • Do not load different types of paper at the same time in the paper tray 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. • 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. • Brother will not recommend a particular envelope because envelope manufacturers may change the envelope specifications. You are responsible for the quality and performance of envelopes you use. Printing on envelopes from the manual feed tray (For HL-5030 and HL-5040) The printer has a straight paper path from the manual feed tray to the back of the printer. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print envelopes. The printer automatically turns on the Manual Feed mode when you put paper in the manual feed tray. When printing on envelopes, follow the steps below. (1) Select the Paper Size, Media Type and paper Source etc. in the printer driver. 2-17
