Types of envelopes
Most envelopes will be suitable for your printer. However, some envelopes may have feed and print quality problems due to 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 does 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.
• 
DO NOT use damaged, curled, wrinkled, irregularly shaped, extremely shiny or textured envelopes.
• 
DO NOT use envelopes with clasps, snaps, tie strings, self-adhesive components, windows, holes, cutouts or perforations.
• 
DO NOT use envelopes that are of a baggy construction, not sharply creased, embossed (have raised writing on them) or pre-printed on the inside.
• 
DO NOT use envelopes that were previously printed by a laser printer.
• 
DO NOT use envelopes that cannot be arranged when put in a pile.
• 
DO NOT use envelopes that are made of paper that weighs more than the paper weight specifications for the printer.
