About paper 2
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 the recommended paper.
When you print on inkjet paper (coated
paper), transparencies and glossy 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
Setting the Paper Type on page 21).
When you print on Brother glossy paper,
load the instruction sheet included with the
glossy paper in the paper tray first, and
then put the glossy paper on the
instruction sheet.
When you use transparencies or glossy
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 paper 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.
Handling and using special
paper 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 glossy paper is shiny.
Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side.
Load glossy 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.

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or
irregularly shaped paper
1 0.08 in. (2 mm) or longer
