Handling And Using Print Media - Brother MFC-490CW User Manual

Handling and using print
media
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.
You can only print on both sides of the
paper with PC printing. (See Printing for
®
Windows in the Software User's Guide
on the CD-ROM.)
