About paperThe print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in themachine.

To get the best print quality for the settings youve chosen, alwaysset 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 purchasing largequantities.For best results, use the recommended paper.

Recommended Paper

To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper.

(See table below.)We recommend using 3M Transparency Film when you print ontransparencies.Brother Paper

When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper),transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select theproper media in the Basic tab of the printer driver or in thePaper Type setting of the menu (Menu/Set , 1, 2).

When you print on Brother glossy paper, load the instructionsheet included with the glossy paper in the paper tray first,and then place the glossy paper on the instruction sheet.

When you use transparencies or glossy paper, remove eachsheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams.

Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediatelyafter printing; the surface may not be completely dry andmay stain your fingers.

Paper Type Item

Letter Plain BP60PLLetter Glossy BP60GLLLetter Inkjet(Photo Matte)

BP60ML



Handling and using special paper 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 glossy paper is shiny. Avoid touching the

shiny (coated) side. Load glossy paper with the shiny side facingdown.

Avoid touching either side of transparencies, because theyabsorb water and perspiration easily, and this may causedecreased output quality. Transparencies designed for laserprinters/copiers may stain your next document. Use onlytransparencies recommended for inkjet printing.

Do not use paper: that are damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped

that are extremely shiny or highly textured that were previously printed by a printer that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked that are made with a short grain

4 Fan the stack of paper well to avoid paper jams and mis-feeds.

5 Gently insert the paper into the paper tray print side down andthe leading edge (top of the paper) in first.

Check that the paper is flat in the tray and below the maximumpaper mark.

6 Put the output paper tray back on and push the paper tray firmlyback into the machine.

Make sure the paper side guides touch the sides of thepaper.

Be careful that you do not push the paper in too far; it maylift at the back of the tray and cause feed problems.

Maximum Paper Mark



To load envelopes Use envelopes that weigh from 20 to 25 lb. Some envelopes require margin settings in the application. Make

sure you do a test print first.

How to load envelopes 1 Before loading, press the corners and sides of the envelopes to

make them as flat as possible.

To prevent possible damage to the feeding mechanism, do notuse the types of envelopes shown below.

DO NOT USE ENVELOPES: that are of a baggy construction that are embossed (have raised writing on them) that have clasps on them

that are not sharply creased that are preprinted on the inside Glue Rounded

flap Double flap Triangular

flap

If the envelopes are double-feeding, put one envelope in thepaper tray at a time.



2 Insert the envelopes into the paper tray with the address sidedown and the leading edge (top of the envelopes) in first. Slidethe paper side guide to fit the width of the envelopes.

If you have problems when printing on envelopes, try the following suggestions: 1

Open the envelope flap.2 Make sure the open flap is either to the side of the envelope orto the back edge of the envelope when printing.

3 Adjust the size and margin in your application.

To load post cards1 Raise the paper stop and insert the post cards into the paper

tray. Slide the paper side guide to fit the width of the post cards.



About fax machinesCustom features

Do you have Voice Mail on the phone line?If you have Voice Mail on the phone line where you will install yournew machine,there is a strong possibility that Voice Mail and the machine may conflict with each other while receiving incoming calls .Why should there be problems?Since both the machine and Voice Mail will pick up the call, after thenumber of rings you have set, each of them has the ability to keepthe other from receiving calls.For example, if Voice Mail is set to answer after two rings and yourmachine is set to answer after four, Voice Mail will stop your machinefrom receiving faxes.If you set Voice Mail and the Brother machine to answer after thesame number of rings, there is no way of knowing which one willanswer first. It is important to remember that neither Voice Mail northe machine can pass the call back to the other after the call has

been answered.How can you avoid possible problems?A very good way to avoid problems like the one mentioned,is to get a second phone number on your present phone line .Many people with Voice Mail choose an alternative service, which iscalled Distinctive Ring, and they are very satisfied with it.(See Distinctive Ring on page A-1.)

Another way to avoid possible problems is to replace Voice Mail withan answering machine. Your Brother machine is designed to workwith an answering machine or TAD (telephone answering device).(See Connecting an external telephone answering device (TAD) onpage A-11.)



Fax tones and handshake

When someone is sending a fax, the machine sends fax calling tones(CNG tones). These are quiet, intermittent beeps every 4-seconds.Youll hear them after you dial and pressBlack Start orColor Start and they will continue for about 60 seconds afterdialing. During that time, the sending machine must begin thehandshake, or connection, with the receiving machine.Each time you use automatic procedures to send a fax, you aresending CNG tones over the phone line. You will soon learn to listenfor these quiet beeps each time you answer a phone on your fax line,so you will know if you are receiving a fax message.

The receiving fax responds with fax receiving tones, which are loud,chirping sounds. A receiving fax chirps for about 40 seconds over thephone line, and the LCD showsReceiving .If your machine is set to the Fax Only mode, it will answer every callautomatically with fax receiving tones. If the other person hangs up,your machine will continue to send the chirps for about 40 seconds,and the LCD continues to showReceiving . To cancel receiving,press Stop/Exit .

The fax handshake is the time in which the sending machines CNGtones and the receiving machines chirps overlap. This must be forat least 2 to 4 seconds, so both machines can understand how eachis sending and receiving the fax. The handshake cannot begin untilthe call is answered, and the CNG tones only last for about 60seconds after the number is dialed. So it is important for the receivingmachine to answer the call in as few rings as possible.

When you have an external Telephone Answering Device (TAD)on your fax line, your TAD will decide the number of rings beforethe call is answered.



ECM (Error Correction Mode)

The Error Correction Mode (ECM) is a way for the machine to checka fax transmission while it is in progress. If the machine detectserrors during fax transmission, it resends the pages of the fax thathad an error. ECM transmissions are only possible between faxmachines that both have this feature. If they do, you may send andreceive fax messages that are continuously being checked by themachine.Your machine must have enough memory for this feature towork.
