3 Paper 3 About Paper The quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in the MFC. You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes. We recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities. For best results, use the recommended paper. To ensure the best print quality for the settings you've chosen, always set the Paper Type to match the type of paper you load. Note When using inkjet paper, glossy paper or transparencies, avoid stacking by removing each page after copying or receiving faxes. Handling and Using Special Paper s Store paper in the original bag, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture, direct sunlight and heat. s The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Do not touch the shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing up toward you. s Do not touch either side of transparencies, because they absorb water and perspiration easily and may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only recommended transparencies. Recommended Paper for the MFC-3200C Plain Paper: Xerox 4200 Inkjet Paper: KODAK® Premium Inkjet Paper (Matte) Glossy Paper: JETPRINT PHOTO® Graphic image paper - Gloss Finish Transparencies: 3M Transparency Film (CG3410) Note The output quality depends on the paper type and paper brand.
