Some envelopes need margin settings to
be set in the application. Make sure you
do a test print first before printing many
envelopes.

DO NOT use any of the following types of
envelopes, as they will cause paper feed
problems:
• If they are of a baggy construction.
• That are embossed (have raised
writing on them).
• That have clasps or staples.
• That are pre-printed on the inside.
Glue 2

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.
When you print on inkjet paper (coated
paper), transparencies and photo 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 menu. (See
Paper Type on page 27.)
Recommended print media2
2
To get the best print quality, we suggest using
Brother paper. (See the table below.)
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.

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.
13
Chapter 2
Handling and using print
media2
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.
IMPORTANT
Paper capacity of the output paper
tray cover
Up to 50 sheets of 20 lb Letter or 80 gsm A4
paper.
Transparencies and photo paper must be
picked up from the output paper tray cover
one page at a time to avoid smudging.
