Paper

The quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in the MFC. You can use plain paper, coated paper, transparencies, glossy paper, organizer paper, and envelopes. We recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities. For best results, use Brother special coated paper, glossy paper, and transparencies. (See page ii for information about ordering Brother accessories).

When you print on coated paper, transparencies, and glossy paper, be sure to select the correct media in the “Quality/Color” tab in the printer driver. When using coated paper or transparencies, avoid stacking by removing each page after copying or printing.
