IU 683 / 0404 12 TowerFeedTM for Brother Printers

OPERATING
Loading Paper
Pull open the tray you wish to load until it reaches the
stop or remove it completely for more convenient loading.
Obtain a fresh ream of paper. Best results will be
obtained using regular copier or laser printer paper (see
"Paper Quality Guidelines").
Hold the ream on the long edge and bend it in and out.
Repeat on the short edge. Square it off properly (Fig. 14).
Load letterhead paper face down, with the letterhead
towards the front panel.
Note:
Duplex printing requires different loading of pre-printed
paper (please also refer to the instructions in the printer
manual).
An additional TowerFeed tray will allow to have the same
(preprinted) paper in two different trays and available
online for regular and duplex printing.
Insert approx. one third of the ream in the tray and
ensure that all paper is lined up with the rear stop.
Repeat two more times for the rest of the ream (Fig. 15).
Push down the stack, such that all sheets are under the
separation corners (Fig. 16).
The right paper guide can be adjusted by pushing the
separation corner tab to the left to ensure proper guiding
of the paper.
Push down on the paper stack a few times. The paper
must move up and down freely.
Note:
For your convenience, you may insert a sample piece
(about 1 inch/28 mm) of the loaded paper type into the
extrusion as a reference when reloading the tray
(Fig. 17).
Close the tray. Repeat the procedure for all trays to be
loaded
TowerFeed is now ready for operation.
TowerFeed will light the indicators on all feed modules:
Green: with paper and drawer closed.
Yellow: no paper or drawer not completely closed. Fig. 17 Marking the Tray
