Ordering Accessories and Supplies
For the best quality results use only genuine Brother accessories. These are available from most
Brother dealers.
Paper
The quality of your document can be affected by the kind of paper you use in the machine. You can
use plain paper, inkjet paper (coated paper), glossy paper, transparencies and envelopes. We
recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities. For best results, use the
recommended paper.
To ensure the best print quality for the settings youve chosen, always set the Paper Type to match
the type of paper you loaded.
Handling and Using Special Paper
Store paper in the original bag, and keep it sealed. Keep the paper flat and away from moisture,
direct sunlight and heat.
The coated side of glossy paper is shiny. Do not touch the shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper
with the shiny side facing up toward you.
Do not touch either side of transparencies, because they absorb water and perspiration easily,
and may cause decreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laser printers/copiers may
stain your next document. Use only recommended transparencies.
Recommended Paper
The output quality depends on the paper type and paper brand.

When you print on inkjet paper, glossy paper and transparencies, be sure to select
the correct media in the Quality/Colour tab in the printer driver. When using inkjet
paper, glossy paper or transparencies, avoid stacking by removing each page
after copying or printing.
