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 31).

Recommended print media 2

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.

 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.

Page 25

Loading paper and documents

Handling and using print media 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. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

Improper Setup

Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover

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

 Transparencies and photo paper must be

picked up from the output paper tray cover one page at a time to avoid smudging.

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or 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

Routine maintenance B

Replacing the ink cartridges B

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.

The LCD will tell you which ink cartridge is low or needs replacing. Be sure to follow the LCD prompts to replace the ink cartridges in the correct order.

Even though the machine tells you to replace an ink cartridge, there will be a small amount of ink left in the ink cartridge. It is necessary to keep some ink in the ink cartridge to prevent air from drying out and damaging the print head assembly.

IMPORTANT

Make sure you pull out the paper support until it clicks.

IMPORTANT

Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance and reliability when used with genuine Brother Branded ink cartridges. Brother cannot guarantee this optimum performance and reliability if ink or ink cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother does not therefore recommend the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother Branded cartridges or the refilling of used cartridges with ink from other sources. If damage is caused to the print head or other parts of this machine as a result of using other brands of ink or ink cartridges, any repairs required as a result may not be covered by the warranty.

• 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.

• If you mix the colours by installing an ink cartridge in the wrong position, clean the print head several times after correcting the cartridge installation.

• Once you open an ink cartridge, install it in the machine and use it up within six months of installation. Use unopened ink cartridges by the expiration date written on the cartridge package.

• DO NOT dismantle or tamper with the ink cartridge, this can cause the ink to leak out of the cartridge.

• If the LCD shows No Cartridge or Cannot Detect after you install the ink cartridges, check that the ink cartridges are installed correctly.

CAUTION

If ink gets in your eyes, wash them out with water at once and call a doctor if you are concerned.
