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 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 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.

„When you print on Brother Photo paper, load one extra sheets of the same photo paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package for this purpose.

„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.
