Recommended media 2

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.

Handling and using media 2

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:

• D amaged, curled, wrinkled, or

irregularly shaped paper

1 2mm or longer

• Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

• Paper already printed on by a printer

• Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly

when stacked

• P aper made with a short grain

Paper capacity of the output paper

tray 2

Up to 50 sheets of 20 lb Letter or 80gsm A4

paper.

Transparencies or photo paper must be

picked up from the output paper tray one

page at a time to avoid smudging.
