Select the ‘Envelope and Transparency’ position of the head gap lever.
Do not touch the surface of the transparencies. Hold the edge of the
transparencies when you handle them.
Be sure to select the paper type in the printer driver to ‘Transparency’ when
you print on transparencies.
After finishing printing a page, remove each transparency immediately and
place it face up on a flat surface until it is completely dry. Do not put
anything on the printed side of the transparency.
When storing the transparencies, keep them sealed in the original plastic bag
to protect them from moisture.
Store the transparencies flat.
Keep the transparencies away from the direct rays of the sun.
✒ Note
Do not use commercially available transparencies, especially those intended
for liquid-inkjet or laser printers. The transparencies you can use for this
printer are Brother special transparencies only.
In the printer driver, set the Media selection to Transparency. The printer
alters the printing method for each media type so that an incorrect media
selection may cause poor print quality. Refer to Chapter 3.
