USER’S GUIDE

Do not use ordinary transparencies designed for photocopiers or laser printers. Use Brother original transparencies which are designed for the HS-5000/5300 printers.

Before printing on transparencies, the printer needs to adjust its temperature for transparencies. It may take around 1 minute.

If the paper does not load from the sheet feeder, use the manual feed slot and try again.

When using media with holes, such as pre-punched organizer sheets, be careful not to print on the hole. The inside of the printer will be stained with ink and it may damage the printer.

Before using any paper, make sure that it is not curled. Feeding curled paper can cause paper jams and misfeeds.

Some paper may become curled by the printers heat during printing. You can prevent the paper from curling by having a top margin of 12.7 mm or more. Do not use paper pre-printed by a laser or inkjet printer. Do not print on both sides of the paper. The printer heat will make pre-printed laser toner / ink melt again.

Prior to loading paper, check the type of media and select the appropriate position of the head gap lever. Refer to “SHEET FEEDER” in this Chapter for more information.
