Paper Size and Type
(MFC-6490CW only)

To get the best print quality, set the machine for the type of paper you are using.
You can use seven sizes of paper for printing copies: A3, A4, A5, 10 × 15 cm (4 × 6 in.), Ledger, Letter and Legal and five sizes for printing faxes: A3, A4, Ledger, Letter and Legal. When you load a different size of paper in the machine, you will need to change the paper size setting at the same time so your machine can fit an incoming fax on the page.
