Paper
About paper
The print quality of your document can be affected by the kind of
paper you use in the DCP.
To ensure the best print quality for the settings you’ve 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 purchasin g large
quantities.
For best results, use the recommended paper.
When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies
and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the
“Basic” tab in the printer driver.
Also avoid stacking by removing each page after it exits the
machine to avoid smudging.
Handling and using special paper
■ 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 glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the
shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facing
up toward you.
■ 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
recommended transparencies.

The output quality depends on the paper type and paper brand.

This setting enhances the detail of an image. It is similar to
adjusting the fine focus on a camera. If the image is not in true
focus and you cannot see the fine details of the picture, then
adjust the sharpness.

Choosing the right type of paper
To get high quality printing using your DCP, it’s very important to
select the right type of paper. Be sure to read Chapter 2 Paper in this
Guide before you select and purchase paper for the DCP.
How to print your document
When the DCP receives data from your computer, it begins printing
by picking up paper from the paper tray. The paper tray can feed
many types of paper and envelopes.
From your computer select the Print command.
1
If your computer is also connected to any other printers, select
Brother DCP-4020C USB Printer as your printer driver from
the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and
then click on OK to begin printing.
Your computer sends a print command and data to the DCP.
2
The LCD shows RECEIVING DATA.
When the DCP finishes printing all the data, the display will
3
return to standby mode.
You can select the paper size, and orientation in your
application software.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size,
select the next larger paper size.
Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in
your application software.

in the printer memory by pressing
Stop/Exit
.
Checking the Print Quality

To achieve the best print results, the media being printed on should
be selected in the driver. The DCP changes the way it prints,
depending on the selected media type.
Plain Paper
Inkjet Paper
Glossy Paper (4 colour)
Glossy Paper (3 colour)
Transparencies
The print quality of black ink depends on the type of glossy
paper you are using. Black ink is used when you select Glossy Paper (4 colour). If the glossy paper you are using repels the
black ink, select Glossy Paper (3 colour), which simulates black
ink by combining the three ink colours.

Quality
The quality selection allows you to choose the print resolution you
want for your document. Print quality and speed are related. The
higher the quality the longer it will take to print the document. The
quality selections that are available will vary depending on the media
type you select.
■ Photo: 2400 x 1200 dpi. Use this mode to print precise images
such as photographs. This is the highest resolution and slowest
speed.
■ S.Fine (Super Fine): 1200 x 1200 dpi. Use this mode to print
precise text and photographs. Since the print data is much larger
than normal mode, the processing time, data transfer time and
print time will be longer.
■ Fine: 600 x 600 dpi. Better print quality than Normal mode and
faster print speed than Super Fine.
■ Normal: 600 x 300 dpi. Good print quality with typical print speed.
■ Fast: 600 x 150 dpi. The fastest print mode and the lowest ink
consumption. Use this mode to print large volume documents or
a document for proofing.

Halftone Pattern
The DCP can use two methods (Diffusion or Dither) to arrange
where to place dots to express halftones. There are some predefined
patterns set for this and you can select which one to use for your
document. Select the appropriate method.
■ Diffusion: Dots are placed at random to create the halftones.
This method of printing is more suitable for printing photographs
that have delicate shades and graphics.
■ Dither: Dots are arranged in a pre-defined pattern to make
halftones. This type of printing is more suitable to printing
graphics that have definite colour boundaries or for printing
charts such as business charts.
Some halftone settings cannot be selected with certain
combinations of Media Type and Quality selections.
