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 paper types
before purchasing large quantities. For best results, use genuine Brother special
coated paper, glossy paper, and transparencies. (See page ii for information
about ordering Brother accessories.)
About Brother Paper
Brother paper is manufactured specifically for this MFC, to provide optimum
print quality:
High Quality Coated Paper for Color Ink Jet printing
—super fine mode (BP72CL for letter)
Color Ink Jet Transparencies—fine mode (BPTRL for letter)
Color Ink Jet Glossy Paper—superfine mode (BPGLL for letter)
■ Brother coated (ink jet) paper is coated only on one side. Make sure this whiter
(coated) side is face down when loading in the paper cassette, or manual feed
slot.
■ The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Do not touch the shiny side. Load
glossy paper in the paper cassette with the shiny side facing down.
■ Do not touch either side of transparencies, because perspiration is absorbed
easily and may decrease output quality.
■ For optimum output quality, use paper that is appropriate for your resolution
setting.
■ Store paper in the original bag, and keep it sealed. Keep paper flat and away
from moisture, direct sunlight and heat.
■ Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may stain your next
document. Use only recommended transparencies.
Note
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, transparencies or glossy paper, avoid stacking by removing
each page after it exits the machine.
Curled or damaged paper may cause paper jams and misfeeds. If the paper is
curled, straighten it as much as possible by rolling it in the opposite direction
of the curl.
