Acceptable paper and
other print media
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 that is loaded in
the tray.
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 correct 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 27.)
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 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.
We recommend using “3M Transparency
Film” when you print on transparencies.
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.
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.
