printing?

the “Paper/Output” or “Graphics” tab

color printing even when you are 
printing in monochrome?

Printing is slow 

Is the energy save mode timeout too 
short? 

When the printer is in energy save 
mode, it takes longer than normal to 
begin printing if it receives a print 
request. On the control panel, set a 
longer energy save mode timeout.  
See 5.3 “List of Menu Items”

jammed in the printer? 

Turn off the printer and remove the 
jammed paper or foreign object. 
When you cannot remove the 
obstruction, turn off the printer and 
contact your dealer or Brother 
authorized service representative. Do 
not attempt to disassemble the 
printer. 

There is condensation in 
the printer 

On the control panel, set the energy 
save mode timeout to one hour or 
more and leave the printer on.  
After leaving the printer for an hour to 
allow condensation to dissipate, you 
can use the printer normally.  
See 5.3 “List of Menu Items”
