Load Roll Paper in Paper Tray #2

  • Use Tray #2 to print on Roll paper (Width: 297 mm / Outer diameter: 90 mm or less).
  • Use Roll paper only when printing from your computer or when printing using AirPrint. Do not use Roll paper when copying or faxing.
  • (Windows) You must install the Brother software if you want to print on Roll paper. To install the driver and software, go to your model’s Downloads page at support.brother.com.
  • If the [Check Paper] setting is set to [On] and you pull the paper tray out of the machine, a message appears on the LCD, allowing you to change the paper size and paper type.
  • When you load a different paper size in the tray, you must change the Paper Size setting in the machine or the paper size setting on your computer.

    Doing this enables the machine to automatically feed paper from the appropriate tray if Auto Tray Select has been set in the printer driver (Windows) or on the machine.

  • If the ink cartridges have reached the end of their lives when you are printing on Roll paper, you can replace them with new ink cartridges of the same colour and continue printing.

    The colour tone may be different after the ink cartridge replacement.

    When using Roll paper in Tray #2, the machine holds the printed page after printing and cutting so it does not fall. When printing is complete, remove the printed page and press [OK].
  10. Change the paper size setting to [297 mm Roll] in the machine’s menu.
    IMPORTANT
    If you pull Tray #2 out of the machine after loading the Roll paper, the Roll paper may become loose or the feeding edge may shift away from the far edge of the tray. To avoid damaging the Roll paper and causing paper feed problems, reload the Roll paper.
