Loading documents and paper Acceptable paper and other media 2 The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you are using in the machine. To get the best print quality for the settings you have chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load. You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes. We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities. For best results, use Brother paper. When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and photo paper, be sure to choose the proper media in the 'Basic' tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu (See Paper Type on page 26). When you print on Brother photo paper, load the instruction sheet included with the photo paper in the paper tray first, and then put the photo paper on top of the instruction sheet. When you use transparencies or photo paper, remove each sheet at once to prevent smudging or paper jams. Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing; the surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers. Recommended media 2 To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.) We recommend using '3M Transparency Film' when you print on transparencies. 2 Brother paper Paper Type Letter Plain Letter Glossy Photo Letter Inkjet (Matte) 4 × 6 in. Glossy Photo Item BP60PL (USA only) BP61GLL 1 BP60ML (USA only) BP61GLP 1 1 Available in the USA and from November 2006 in Canada. Handling and using media 2 Store paper in its original packaging, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat. The coated side of photo paper is shiny. Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down. Avoid touching either side of transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration easily, and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing. 13
