(See Troubleshooting and routine maintenance on page 6-1.) INTRODUCTION 1 - 4 Load documents You can make copies and scan from the ADF (automatic document feeder) or from the scanner glass. Using the ADF (automatic document feeder) (DCP-120C only) The ADF can hold up to 10 pages and feeds each sheet individually. Use standard (80 g/m2) paper and always fan the pages before putting them in the ADF. DO NOT use paper that is curled, wrinkled, folded, ripped, stapled, paper clipped, pasted or taped. DO NOT use cardboard, newspaper or fabric. (To copy or scan this kind of document, see Using the scanner glass on page 1-7.) Make sure documents written with ink are completely dry. Documents must be from 147 to 216 mm wide and 147 to 356 mm long. 1 - 5 INTRODUCTION 1 2 3 Fan the pages well. Make sure you put the documents face down, top edge first in the ADF until you feel them touch the feed roller. Adjust the paper guides to fit the width of your documents. Unfold the ADF Document Output Support Flap. ADF Document Output Support Flap DO NOT pull on the document while it is feeding. To use the ADF, the scanner glass must be empty. INTRODUCTION 1 - 6 Using the scanner glass You can use the scanner glass to copy or scan pages of a book or one page at a time. Documents can be up to 216 mm wide and 297 mm long. (DCP-120C only) To use the scanner glass, the ADF must be empty. 1 Lift the document cover. Place documents face down on the Scanner Glass 2 3 Using the document guidelines on the left, center the document face down on the scanner glass. Close the document cover. If the document is a book or is thick, do not slam the cover or press on it. 1 - 7 INTRODUCTION About paper The print quality can be affected by the type of paper you use in the machine. To get the best print quality for the settings you've chosen, always set 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 large quantities. For best results, use the recommended paper. When you print on inkjet paper (coated paper), transparencies and glossy paper, be sure to select the proper media in the "Basic" tab of the printer driver or in the Paper Type setting of the menu. When you print on Brother glossy paper, load the instruction sheet 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 each sheet immediately to prevent smudging or paper jams. Avoid touching the printed surface of the paper immediately after printing. The surface may not be completely dry and may stain your fingers. Recommended Paper To get the best print quality, we suggest using Brother paper. (See table below.) If Brother paper is not available in your country, we recommend testing various papers before purchasing large quantities. We recommend using "3M Transparency Film" when you print on transparencies. Brother Paper Paper Type A4 Plain A4 Glossy A4 Inkjet (Photo Matte) 10 x 15 cm Glossy BP60PA BP60GLA BP60MA BP60GLP INTRODUCTION 1 - 8 Item 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 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. Do not use paper: that is damaged, curled, wrinkled, or irregularly shaped 2 mm or longer 2 mm or longer that is extremely shiny or highly textured that was previously printed by a printer that cannot be arranged uniformly when stacked that is made with a short grain 1 - 9 INTRODUCTION Paper type and size for each operation Usage Copy 216 x 279 mm (8 1/2" x 11") 210 x 297 mm (8.3" x 11.7") 216 x 356 mm (8 1/2" x 14") 184 x 267 mm (7 1/4" x 10 1/2") 182 x 257 mm (7.2" x 10.1") 148 x 210 mm (5.8" x 8.3") 105 x 148 mm (4.1" x 5.8") 102 x 152 mm (4" x 6") 89 x 127 mm (3 1/2" x 5") 127 x 178 mm (5" x 7") 127 x 203 mm (5" x 8") 100 x 148 mm (3.9" x 5.8") 148 x 200 mm (5.8" x 7.9") 162 x 229 mm (6.4" x 9") 110 x 220 mm (4.3" x 8.7") 105 x 241 mm (4 1/8" x 9 1/2") 98 x 191 mm (3 7/8" x 7 1/2") 105 x 235 mm (4.1" x 9.3") 216 x 279 mm (8 1/2" x 11") 210 x 297 mm (8.3" x 11.7") -- -- -- -- -- Yes Yes -- -- -- -- -- Yes Yes -- Yes -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Yes -- -- -- -- -- Yes -- Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes PhotoCapture Printer Paper Type Paper Size Cut Paper Letter A4 Legal Executive JIS B5 A5 A6 Cards Photo Photo L Photo 2L Index Card Post Card 1 Post Card 2 (Double) Envelopes C5 Envelope DL Envelope COM-10 Monarch JE4 Envelope Transparencies Letter INTRODUCTION 1 - 10 A4 Paper weight, thickness and capacity Paper Type Cut Paper Plain Paper Inkjet Paper Glossy Paper Cards Photo Card Index Card Post Card Envelopes Transparencies Weight 64 to 120 g/m (17 to 32 lb) 2 Thickness 0.08 to 0.15 mm (0.003" to 0.006") 0.08 to 0.25 mm (0.003" to 0.01") Up to 0.25 mm (Up to 0.01") Up to 0.28 mm (Up to 0.01") Up to 0.15 mm (Up to 0.006") Up to 0.23 mm (Up to 0.01") Up to 0.52 mm (Up to 0.02") -- No. of sheets 100* 20 20 20 30 30 10 10 64 to 200 g/m2 (17 to 53 lb) Up to 220 g/m2 (Up to 58 lb) Up to 240 g/m2 (Up to 64 lb) Up to 120 g/m2 (Up to 32 lb) Up to 200 g/m2 (Up to 53 lb) 75 to 95 g/m2 (20 to 25 lb) -- * Up to 50 sheets for Legal size paper (80 g/m2). * Up to 100 sheets of 80 g/m2.

(See DPOF printing on page 3-8.) The image file extension must be .JPG (Other image file extensions .JPEG, .TIF, .GIF and so on will not be recognized). Walk-up PhotoCapture CenterTM printing must be performed separately from PhotoCapture CenterTM operations using the PC. (Simultaneous operation is not available.) IBM MicrodriveTM is not compatible with the machine. The machine can read up to 999 files in a media card. Use only Smart media cards with a 3.3v voltage rating. CompactFlash® Type II is not supported. xD-Picture CardTM Type M (Large Capacity) is supported. When printing the INDEX or IMAGE, the PhotoCapture CenterTM will print all the valid images, even if one or more images have been corrupted. A portion of the corrupted image may be printed. Your machine is designed to read media cards that have been formatted by a digital camera. When a digital camera formats a media card it creates a special folder into which it copies image data. If you need to modify the image data stored on a media card with your PC, we recommend that you do not modify the folder structure created by the digital camera. When saving new or modified image files to the media card we also recommend you use the same folder your digital camera uses. If the data is not saved to the same folder the machine may not be able to read the file or print the image.
