Printing On Thicker Paper And Card Stock; The Manual Feed Tray (For Mfc-8440 And Dcp-8040) - Brother MFC-8440 Software User's Manual

Printing on thicker paper and card stock

When the back output tray is pulled down, the machine has a straight
paper path from the manual feed tray or the MP tray through to the
back of the machine. Use this paper feed and output method when
you want to print on thicker paper or card stock.
