About envelopes2
„ Use envelopes that weigh from 20 to 25 lb 
(80 to 95 g/m
2).
„ Some envelopes need margin settings to 
be set in the application. Make sure you 
do a test print first before printing many 
envelopes.
IMPORTANT
DO NOT use any of the following types of 
envelopes, as they will cause paper feed 
problems:
• That are of a baggy construction.
• That are embossed (have raised  writing on them).
• That have clasps or staples.
• That are pre-printed on the inside.
Occasionally you may experience paper 
feed problems caused by the thickness, 
size and flap shape of the envelopes you 
are using.

Acceptable paper and 
other print 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 the Brother paper.„ When you print on inkjet paper (coated 
paper), transparencies and photo paper, 
be sure to choose the proper print media 
in the ‘ Basic’ tab of the printer driver or in 
the Paper Type setting of the machine’s 
menu (See  Paper Type on page 33).
„ When you print on Brother photo paper, 
load one extra sheet of the same photo 
paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has 
been included in the paper package for 
this purpose.
„ 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 print media2
To get the best print quality, we suggest using 
Brother paper. (See table below.)
We recommend using ‘3M Transparency 
Film’ when you print on transparencies.

Handling and using print 
media2
„ 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 
photo paper. 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 0.08 in. (2 mm) or greater curl may 
cause jams to occur.
• Extremely shiny or highly textured paper
• Paper that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked
• Paper made with a short grain
 
Paper capacity of the output paper 
tray cover
2
Up to 50 sheets of Letter, Legal or A4 20 lb 
(80 g/m
2) paper.
„ Transparencies and photo paper must be 
picked up from the output paper tray cover 
one page at a time to avoid smudging.
