writing on them).
• That have clasps or staples.
Loading envelopes2
a Before loading, press the corners and
sides of envelopes to make them as flat
as possible.

If envelopes are “double-feeding”, put one
envelope in the paper tray at a time.
• That are pre-printed on the inside.

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

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 that is loaded in
the tray.
You can use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated
paper), glossy paper 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) and glossy paper, be sure to
choose the correct print media in the
printer driver’s Basic tab or the machine’s
Paper Type setting.
(See Paper Type on page 16.)
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 using photo paper, remove each
sheet at once to prevent smudging or
paper jams.
Recommended print media2
