Acceptable paper and
other print media
2
The print quality can be affected by the type
of paper you are using 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 photo paper,
be sure to choose the proper 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 25.)
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 you use 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
Brother paper. (See table below.)
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
photo paper. Load photo 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.
You can only print on both sides of the
paper with PC printing. See Printing for
Windows
