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.

Acceptable paper and

other print media

The print quality can be affected by the type

of paper you use 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 glossy paper,

be sure to choose the proper print media

in the

Basic

tab of the printer driver or in

the Paper Type setting of the machine’s

menu.

(See

Paper Type

on page 30.)



When you print on Brother Photo paper,

load one extra sheet of the same photo

paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has

been included in the paper package for

this purpose.



When using 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 print media

To get the best print quality, we suggest using

Brother paper. (See the table below.)

We recommend using “3M Transparency

Film” when you print on transparencies.

Handling and using print

media



Store paper in its original packaging and

keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and

away from moisture, direct sunlight and

heat.



Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side of

the photo paper. Load photo paper with

the shiny side facing down.



Avoid touching either side of the

transparency paper 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.
