Check the paper size setting in the printer driver. You need to select A4, Legal or
Folio.

stopped printing and the machine’s
Data LED turns on.
Press Job Cancel. As the machine cancels the job and clears it from the memory
it may produce an incomplete printout.
Scanning difficulties

TWAIN errors appear while
scanning.
Make sure that the Brother TWAIN driver is chosen as the primary source. In
PaperPort
™ 11SE, click File, Scan or Get Photo and choose the Brother
TWAIN driver.
Network scanning does not work. See Network difficulties on page 108.
Software difficulties
Difficulties Suggestions
Cannot install software or print.
Run the Repair MFL-Pro Suite program on the CD
-ROM. This program will repair
and reinstall the software.
Cannot perform ‘2 in 1
’ or ‘4 in 1 ’
printing.
Check that the paper size setting in the application and in the printer driver are the
same.
The machine does not print from
Adobe Illustrator.
Try to reduce the print resolution. (See Advanced tab in the Software User’s Guide
on the CD-ROM.)
Paper handling difficulties
Difficulties Suggestions
The machine does not load paper.
The LCD shows No Paper or a
Paper Jam message.
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 MP tray mode is not chosen in the printer driver.
If the LCD shows Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see
Paper jams on page 130.
The machine does not feed paper
from the MP tray.
Fan the paper well and put it back in the tray firmly.
Make sure that MP tray mode is chosen in the printer driver.
How do I print on envelopes? You can load envelopes from the MP tray. Your application 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 application. (See your application’s manual for
more information.)
