Loading documents and paper

Loading envelopes and post cards

	About envelopes	2
	Use envelopes that weigh between 80 to
	95 g/m2.
	Some envelopes need margin settings to
	be set in the application. Make sure you
	do a test print first before printing many
	envelopes.

CAUTION

DO NOT use any of the following types of envelopes, as they will cause paper feed problems:

•That 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	Double flap

Occasionally you may experience paper feed problems caused by the thickness, size and flap shape of the envelopes you are using.

How to load envelopes and postcards

a Before loading, press the corners and sides of envelopes or post cards to make them as flat as possible.

Note

If envelopes or post cards are ‘doublefeeding,’ put one envelope or post card in the paper tray at a time.

Chapter 2

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 glossy 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 30).

When you print on Brother Photo paper, load one extra sheets 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

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See 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.

Brother paper

Paper Type		Item
A4	Plain	BP60PA
A4 Glossy Photo		BP71GA4
A4	Inkjet (Matte)	BP60MA
10 x 15 cm Glossy		BP71GP

Handling and using print media

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® in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.

Improper Setup

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or	2
irregularly shaped paper

1 2 mm or greater

•Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

•Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

•Paper made with a short grain

Paper capacity of the paper tray

Up to 50 sheets of 20 lb Letter or 80 g/m2 A4 paper.

Transparencies and photo paper must be picked up from the paper tray one page at a time to avoid smudging.
