Using the Brother printer driver
A Printer Driver is software that translates data from the format used by a computer into the format required
by a particular printer, using a printer command language or page description language.
The printer drivers are on the CD-ROM we have supplied. Install the drivers first by following the Quick Setup
Guide. Also, the latest printer driver can be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at:
Windows
®
Printing
The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft
®
Windows
®
98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional/XP and Windows NT
®
workstation 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your Brother device. You can install them easily
into your Windows
®
system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode
to enhance printing speed in Windows
®
applications, and allows you to set various printer settings, including
economy printing mode and custom paper size.
How to print your document
When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper
tray. The paper tray can feed many types of paper and envelopes. (See the User’s Guide for information
about the Paper Tray and Recommended paper.)

From your application, select the Print command.
If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, select
Brother MFC-XXXX
or
DCP-XXXX
(USB) Printer
(Where XXXX is your model name. If you are using a USB cable to connect your machine
then USB will be in the printer driver name) as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu
in your software application, and then click
OK
to begin printing.
