INTRODUCTION 1 - 8 About paper 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’ve 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 purchasing large quantities. For best results, use the recommended paper. Recommended Paper 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. Brother Paper ■When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the “Basic” tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu. ■ When you print on Brother glossy paper, load the instruction sheet included with the glossy paper in the paper tray first, and then place the glossy paper on the instruction sheet. ■ When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove each sheet immediately 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.

1 - 9 INTRODUCTION Handling and using special paper ■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 glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the shiny (coated) side. Load glossy 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. Do not use paper: ■that is damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped ■ that is extremely shiny or highly textured ■ that was previously printed by a printer ■ that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked ■ that is made with a short grain 2 mm or longer 2 mm or longer Downloaded from ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
