 program on the CD-ROM. This program will repair 

and reinstall the software. 

Cannot perform ā€˜2 in 1ā€™ or ā€˜4 in 1ā€™ 
printing.

Check that the paper size setting in the application and in the printer driver are the 
same.

Machine does not print from Adobe 
Illustrator 

Try to reduce the print resolution. (See 

Advanced tab

 in Software Userā€™s Guide on 

the CD-ROM.)

When using ATM fonts, some

characters are printed in their 
place.

If you are using Windows

Ā®

 98/98SE/Me, select ā€˜Printer Settingsā€™ from the ā€˜Startā€™ 

menu. Select the properties of the ā€˜Brother MFC-7220 or MFC-7225Nā€™. Click

MFC-7225N only)

1.Make sure the machine is on (plugged into the AC power outlet and the power 
switch turned on) and that it is connected directly to the computer using the 
IEEE-1284 bi-directional parallel cable. The cable must not go through another 
peripheral device (such as a Zip Drive, External CD-ROM Drive, or Switch box).

2.Make sure the machine is not displaying an error message on the LCD Display.

3.Make sure no other device drivers, which also communicate through the parallel 
port, are running automatically when you boot up the computer (such as, drivers 
for Zip Drives, External CD-ROM Drive, etc.) Suggested areas to check: (

Load=, 

Run=command lines in the win.ini file or the Setup Group

)

4.Check with your computer manufacturer to confirm that the computerā€™s parallel 
port settings in the BIOS are set to support a bi-directional machine; i.e. (Parallel 
Port Mode ā€“ ECP)

ā€˜MFC is Busyā€™ Error Message 
appears.

Paper Handling Difficulties

The machine does not feed paper.

The LCD shows 

No Paper Fed

 or 

Paper Jam

.

If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray. If there is paper 
in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should 
straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and 
put it back into the paper tray. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and 
then try again. Check that the manual feed mode is not selected in the printer 
driver.

If the LCD shows 

Paper Jam

 and you still have a problem, see 

Paper jams

 on 

page 11-7.

The machine does not feed paper 
from the manual feed slot.

Reinsert the paper firmly, load one sheet at a time. Make sure that manual feed 
mode is selected in the printer driver.

How can I load  envelopes?

You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your application software must 
be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page 
Setup or Document Setup menu of your software. Please refer to the manual 
provided with your software application.

What paper can I use?

You can use plain paper, recycled paper, envelopes, transparencies and labels 
that are made for laser machines. (For information on paper you can use, see 

About paper

 on page 1-8.)

How can I clear paper jams?

See 

Paper jams

 on page 11-7.
