Brother HL-5380DN User Manual Download

Page: 22 / 184

Printing Methods

Put paper in the tray, and make sure that the paper is below the maximum paper mark (

bbb

). The side

to be printed on must be face down.

IMPORTANT

Make sure the paper guides touch the sides of the paper so it will feed properly.

Put the paper tray firmly back in the printer. Make sure that it is completely inserted into the printer.

Lift up the support flap to prevent paper from sliding off the face-down output tray, or remove each page

as soon as it comes out of the printer.
