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

the paper tray at a time.
• That are embossed (have raised
writing on them).
• That have clasps or staples.
• That are pre-printed on the inside.
Glue Double flaps

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.

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.
Paper capacity of the output paper tray cover
Up to 50 sheets of 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.
2
DO NOT use the following kinds 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
