QuestionLooking for a Brother printer that prints blank DVD's. Last printer had this function but I can see that this is possible within the specs of this printer.
Asked 5 years ago by DVDPrinter.
- Answer I would not recommend using labels in this printer. The paper path involves the printed media following a 180 turn inside the printer. I would be concerned about the edge of the labels lifting up as the sheet makes this 180 degree turn. A printer that has the media supply on one side and the output tray on the other side is probably a safer bet since the printed media doesn't have to make that 180 degree turn inside the machine. The downside of these types of printers is that they generally take more desk real estate.

Asked 5 years ago by Bella.
- Answer Here's a link to explain why the color ink cartridges run out of ink even though you never or rarely print in color. https://support.brother.com/g/b/faqend.aspx?c=us&lang=en&prod=mfcj497dw_us_eu&faqid=faq00000038_009

QuestionI already set up printer but not fax. Now I want to set up fax. Can you give me detailed instructions
Asked 6 years ago by Carol.
- Answer When I first tried scanning and faxing, I used the keys on the machine and nothing worked (it's kinda of trap). Then I tried using the Brother App, which I downloaded to my iPhone and iPad. Haven't tried faxing, but I have used the scanner several times. And you could scan and e-mail if that's acceptable to the receipent.

QuestionWill the printer print Avery label 22829, which is an unsmooth surface? Please reply as soon as possible. I need to create Avery labels for my small lotions business I run from home. What types of papers can I use to print from my printer.
Asked 7 years ago by Mango.
- Answer No, it won't. The machine is made with very flimsy plastic parts. I've been trying to print Avery labels and it feeds the sheet in about 2 inches and tells me I have a paper jam. There is no jam but the sheet won't feed any farther. I contacted Brother and was told that labels should not be printed on this machine and that doing so would void the warranty. Sure wish this info was included in the product description or on the box so I knew that before I bought it.
