Loading paper 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.
Chapter 2 Paper settings 2 Paper Size To get the best print quality, set the machine for the type of paper you are using. You can use five sizes of paper for printing copies: A4, A5, Letter, Legal and 10 15 cm.

Loading paper 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 Brother paper.
Chapter 2 Handling and using print media Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover 2 Up to 50 sheets of 80 gsm A4 paper. 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.

A Routine maintenance Replacing the ink cartridges Your machine is equipped with an ink dot counter. The ink dot counter automatically monitors the level of ink in each of the 4 cartridges. When the machine detects an ink cartridge is running out of ink, the machine will tell you with a message on the LCD. Note For example, when one of the ink cartridge is nearly empty, the LCD will display Ink low (name of colour).
b Press the lock release lever as shown to release the cartridge indicated on the LCD. Remove the cartridge from the machine. d Turn the green knob on the protective yellow cap clockwise until it clicks to release the vacuum seal, then remove the cap (1). 1 e c 34 Open the new ink cartridge bag for the colour shown on the LCD, and then take out the ink cartridge. Each colour has its own correct position. Insert the ink cartridge in the direction of the arrow on the label.
Routine maintenance f Gently push the ink cartridge in until it clicks, and then close the ink cartridge cover. IMPORTANT • DO NOT take out ink cartridges if you do not need to replace them. If you do so, it may reduce the ink quantity and the machine will not know the quantity of ink left in the cartridge. • DO NOT touch the cartridge insertion slots. If you do so, the ink may stain your skin. • If ink gets on your skin or clothing immediately wash it off with soap or detergent.
Cleaning and checking the machine Cleaning the scanner glass a Lift the document cover (1).
