Recommended print media
To get the best print quality, we suggest using the Brother paper in the table.
We recommend using 3M Transparency Film when you print on transparencies.

Handling and using print media
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 the photo paper. Load photo paper with the shiny side facing down.
Avoid touching either side of the transparency paper because it absorbs 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.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use the following kinds of paper:
•Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped

Transparencies and photo paper must be picked up from the output paper tray cover one page at a time to avoid smudging.
