Chapter 2

Acceptable paper and other print media

The print quality can be affect ed by the type of paper you use in the machine.

To get the best print quality for the settings you have c hosen, al ways s et t he Pap er Typ e to match the type of paper that is loaded in the tray.

You can use plain pap er, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes.

We recommend testing various paper types before buying large quantities.

For best results, use 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 uu page 17.)

Recommended print media 2

To get the best print quali ty, we suggest using Brother paper. (See the table below.)

If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testi ng va r ious papers before purchasing large quantities.

We recommend using “3M Transparency Film” when you print on transpar enc ies .

 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 printing on to transparencies, load

one extra sheet in the paper tray.

 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.

Loading paper

IMPORTANT

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 si de of

transparencies because they absorb water and perspiration eas ily , and this may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next document. Use only transpar enc ies recommended for inkjet print ing.

Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover

Up to 50 sheets of 80 g/m2 A4 paper.

 Transparencies and phot o paper must be

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

DO NOT use the following kind s of paper :

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper

1 2 mm or greater curl may cause jams

to occur.

• Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

• Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked

• Short grain paper
