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 that is loaded in 
the tray.
You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated 
paper), glossy paper 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) and glossy paper, be sure to 
choose the correct print media in the 
printer driver’s Basic tab or the machine’s 
Paper Type setting.
(See Paper Type on page 16.)
 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 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 2
To get the best print quality, we suggest using 
the Brother paper in the table.
If Brother paper is not available in your 
country, we recommend testing various 
papers before purchasing large quantities.
Handling and using print 
media 2
 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.
