Q.
If this printer uses pigment-type inks can it produce what would be termed 'archival quality' prints?
A.
The Brother MFC-J5930DW uses LC-3217 and LC-3219XL ink cartridges which are all pigment-based. As long as you are printing on plain paper, the inks are suited to printing business documents for archiving.
Q.
What range of media does this printer offer, does it print envelopes
A.
Yes the Brother MFC-J5930DW can print envelopes. If the Check Paper setting is set to on and you pull the paper tray out of the machine, a message should appear on the LCD asking if you want to change the paper type and paper size. Ensure that only one type and size of paper is loaded in the paper tray at a time. When a different paper size is loaded into the tray, you must change the Paper Size setting in the machine or the paper size setting on your computer. Configuring this setting enables the machine to automatically feed paper from the appropriate tray if the Auto Tray Select has been set in the machine or printer driver. Before loading envelopes in the tray, ensure that all sides and corners are pressed down to make them as flat as possible.
Q.
Hi, Will this printer do borderless printing up to A3?
A.
Unfortunately, the Brother MFC-J5930DW does not support borderless printing on sizes larger than A4.
Q.
Does this printer store A3 paper in 1 tray and a4 paper in second tray both at the same time? or do you need to change manually tray between paper.

The Brother J5930 will only accept A3 sheets via it's multipurpose tray situated at the top-rear of the printer. This is due to its A4 size footprint. You can load up to 100 sheets of plain A3 paper. The other 2 trays will accept the smaller A4 sheets.

Unfortunately, this model cannot scan A3 but does have A3 printing capabilities.
