Chapter 2

Acceptable paper and other media

The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you are using 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 media in the ‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu

(See Paper Type on page 28).

When you print on Brother photo paper, load the instruction sheet included with the photo paper in the paper tray first, and then put the photo paper on top of the instruction sheet.

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 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		BP61GLA
A4	Inkjet (Matte)	BP60MA
10 x 15 cm Glossy Photo		BP61GLP

10

Handling and using media

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 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

DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:

•Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1

1

1 2 mm or longer

•Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

•Paper already printed on by a printer

•Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

•Paper made with a short grain

Loading documents and paper

Paper capacity of the output paper tray

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

Transparencies or photo paper must be

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

Loading envelopes and post cards

About envelopes

Use envelopes that weigh from 75 to 95 g/m2.

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

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.

16

How to load envelopes and post cards

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

Note

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

b Put the envelopes or post cards into the paper tray with the address side down and the leading edge in first as shown in the illustration. Slide the paper side guides (1) and paper length guide (2) to fit the size of the envelopes or post cards.
