Recommended 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.

Available in the USA and from November 2006 in
Canada.
Handling and using media 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 photo 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.

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:
• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or
irregularly shaped paper
1 0.08 in. (2 mm) or longer
