Chapter 2 i While holding the paper tray in place, pull out the paper support (1) until it clicks and unfold the paper support flap (2). Loading envelopes and postcards 2 About envelopes 2 Use envelopes that weigh between 80 to 95 g/m2. 2 1 Some envelopes need margin settings to be set in the application. Make sure you do a test print first before printing many envelopes. IMPORTANT IMPORTANT Do Not use the paper support flap for Legal size paper.
Loading paper and documents Loading envelopes and postcards a 2 Before loading, press the corners and sides of envelopes or postcards to make them as flat as possible. Note If envelopes or postcards are ‘double-feeding’, put one envelope or postcard in the paper tray at a time. b Put envelopes or postcards into the paper tray with the side to be printed on face down, and the shortest edge in first as shown in the illustration.
Chapter 2 Printable area 2 The printable area depends on the settings in the application you are using. The figures below show the unprintable areas on cut sheet paper and envelopes. The machine can print in the shaded areas of cut sheet paper when the Borderless print feature is available and turned on. (See Printing for Windows® or Printing and Faxing for Macintosh in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.
Loading paper and documents Acceptable paper and other print media 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 Brother paper.
Chapter 2 Handling and using print media Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover 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.
