Acceptable paper and

other media 2

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 Brother paper.

When you print on inkjet paper (coated

paper), transparencies and photo paper,

be sure to choose the correct media in the

‘Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in the

Paper Type setting of the menu. (See

Paper Type on page 23.)

When you print on Brother photo paper,

load the instruction sheet included with the

photo paper in the paper tray first, and

then put the photo paper on top of the

instruction sheet.

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.

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:

• Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or

irregularly shaped paper

1 2 mm or longer

• Extremely shiny or highly textured paper

• Paper already printed on by a printer

• Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly

when stacked

• Paper made with a short grain
