Chapter 2 12 Scannable area2 The scannable area depends on the settings in the application you are using. The figures below show the areas you cannot scan on paper. Acceptable paper and other media 2 The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you are using 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 proper 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 gl ossy paper on top of the instruction sheet. „ When you use transparencies or glossy 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.

Loading documents and paper13 2 Recommended 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. 1Available in the USA and from November 2006 in Canada. Handling and using media2 „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 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. Improper Setup DO NOT use the following kinds of paper: • Damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped paper 1 0.08 in. (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 Paper capacity of the output paper tray 2 Up to 50 sheets of 20 lb Letter or 80 g/m2 A4 paper. „ Transparencies or glossy paper must be picked up from the output paper tray one page at a time to avoid smudging.
