6 Using the DCP as a printer Using the Brother DCP-8020, DCP-8025D 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: http://solutions.
How to print your document When the DCP 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. 1 From your computer select the Print command. If your computer is also connected to any other printers, select Brother DCP-8020 or DCP-8025D (USB) Printer as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then click on OK to begin printing.
Simultaneous printing and scanning Your DCP can print from your computer while scanning an original into the computer. Two-sided printing (Duplex Printing) The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing. (For more information, see Duplex Printing on page 7-7.) Automatic Duplex Printing (For DCP-8025D) In this mode, the DCP prints on both sides of the A4, Letter or Legal paper automatically. 1 Open the Properties dialog box in the printer driver.
Manual Duplex Printing The DCP prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows® driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well, or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended. We recommend 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m2) paper. Face-down output tray The DCP ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the output tray in the front of the DCP.
Printing on plain paper The manual feed tray (For DCP-8020) The DCP automatically turns on the Manual Feed mode when you put paper in the manual feed tray. 1 2 3 4 Select the Paper Size, Media Type, Paper Source, and other settings in the printer driver. Media Type: Plain Paper Paper Source: Manual Send the print data to the DCP. Open the manual feed tray. Slide the paper guides to fit the paper size.
The MP tray (For DCP-8025D) The DCP automatically turns on the MP Tray mode when you put paper in the multi-purpose tray. 1 2 3 4 Select the Paper Size, Media Type, Paper Source, and other settings in the printer driver. Media Type: Plain Paper Paper Source: MP Tray Open the MP tray and lower it gently. Pull out the MP tray support flap. When loading paper in the MP tray, make sure it touches the back of the tray.
Printing on thicker paper and card stock When the back output tray is pulled down, the DCP has a straight paper path from the manual feed tray or the MP tray through to the back of the DCP. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on thicker paper or card stock. The manual feed tray (For DCP-8020) 1 2 3 4 Select the Paper Size, Media Type, Paper Source, and other settings in the printer driver. Media Type: Thick paper or Thicker paper Paper Source: Manual Open the back output tray.

When you have finished printing your envelopes, close the back output tray to reset the two blue tabs back to their original position.
■ Make sure the envelope is straight as you insert it in the manual feed tray. If it is not, the envelope may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a jam. ■ Do not put more than one envelope in the manual feed tray at any one time, or it may cause a jam. ■ Put the envelope in the manual feed tray, making sure that the side to be printed on is face up in the tray. 5 6 7 After the printed envelope comes out of the DCP, the DCP will wait until you put in the next envelope.
