How good is the paper feed?

The paper feed works well if the tray is at least 70% filled and the paper is "feathered" before being placed in the tray.

The paper feed is good. I have not had a paper jam since I received it months ago. Envelopes work fine too.

The paper feed is really good. However I suggest that if you are printing on cheaper 20lb copy paper you should fan the paper stack before placing it in the feed tray. Most paper feed problems are not the fault of the printer but rather the fault of the paper - such as the leading feed edge becoming wavy (for want of a better word....) from humidity. We have many Brother printers and they all perform flawlessly. We use isopropyl alcohol to clean the input feed/roller/s every 2-3months by swabbing it with a clean cloth. Don't use a cotton bud or any paper towels as they can leave small fibers on the corona wires, fuse rollers etc. Hope this helps.M The paper feed is really good.

Marisa: I was concerned as I read comments about paper feed problems with Brother printers. I have two printers and they have been wonderful with no paper feed problems. I buy cartridges on ebay (5 for a little over $5.00) and they work well, so printing is very cheap. I really like the printers and recommend them.Bill

The paper feed is not as fast as I would like, but OK for a unit of this type (small office or home use).

With one I just bought used through Amazon I haven't had a problem, but my last one I had a big problem with paper feed. I had over $100 in ink cartridges so I purchased a used one and it seems to work great. But I also use the best paper. It's thicker.

Although rated for 58 lbs paper(per the manual), I have fed through 65 lbs paper with no issues. Ironically, it does give you a choice for even heavier stock in the Print dialogue window for paper options. The only issue with heavier stock is that if you fill up the paper tray to the rim, it jams often. You can solve this issue by not going over the 70% capacity in the paper tray.

I have had epson r1800 for more than 8 years and never had a problem with paper feed. I use only Epson and Ilford premium paper. What kind of paper do you use, what is its thickness? Sorry, I cannot help any more than this.

Must be the Quality of your paper, I have not had any issues with the paper feeder. Make sure your paper is aligned properly in the paper tray and the Green knob tightly secures the paper rack.

I believe that the manual feed tray can hold 50 sheets. If you're going to be doing a lot of 11x17 then I would suggest getting the additional paper tray- this will hold a ream of 11x17 internally. Also, the duplexer add-on for this works great too.

I have never had paper feed issues with this printer and we have a few of them in service but we also only run 24 pound paper.

Safely, you can feed 4 papers at a time. I haven't tried to do more than that. This is great for shredding the extra pages that come in the mail that you don't need.

I've had great results with this feeder and very little waste. I would recommend this feeder to you.

The paper feeds from the front. There is a small switch that is activated when the paper is fed. The scanner would work a lot better with a paper guide. Not appropriate for large scanning jobs. Software is activated on scanner's connection.

Generally feeds pretty well. Toward the end of the load you must shake the unit to get everything to move to the dispersal hole, like most units of this type, but not a lot of trouble.

I've had no problems with it feeding thick card stock paper. I've used French Paper #100 weight which is really dense and it feed & prints nicely. But I also recommend printing in small batches.

I have not had any problems but the input slot is rather narrow and it forces you to feed papers straight

Yes you can use continuous feed paper from back. It does have the tracks....

I am so sorry, I misread the question. The feeder will not handle that size paper. Sorry for the confusion.

You done better than I. I had trouble with the machine eating up my printing paper and photo paper never did find out a paper it wouldn't eat up. I gave up on the photo paper that stuff was to pricey to keep feeding the machine.

According to the user guide the feeder can hold 100 sheets of plain paper 8.5 x 11 or 8.3 x 11.7, 20 sheets of glossy or semi-gloss photo paper and 1 sheet of plain paper Legal 8.5 x 14 as well as matte premium paper. I don't understand it all yet but this is what I read. The type of feeder is answered by others.
