Using the Brother printer driver 1

A printer driver translates the data from your PC application, and using a page description language, converts
it into a format that can be understood by the printer/multi-function device.

You will find appropriate drivers on the CD-ROM supplied with the machine. Install those drivers by following
the Quick Setup Guide. You can also download the latest drivers from the Brother Solutions Center at:

http://solutions.brother.com

1

Features 1

This machine offers many features you will find in a high quality ink jet printer.

Brilliant High Quality Output

Printing at up to 1200 × 6000 dpi on glossy paper to get the highest possible resolution. (See Resolution in
the Specifications in the User’s Guide.) The printer driver supports N in 1, Watermark printing, Colour
Enhancement technology and many other features.

Low Running Cost

Whenever a particular ink colour requires replacement, you only have to replace that individual cartridge.

USB

The Universal Serial Bus Interface provides fast communication with your PC.

Ethernet

The Ethernet interface lets your machine communicate with multiple PCs connected on a network. This
feature is available for Network Standard models only. (Not available for MFC-253CW, MFC-255CW and
MFC-257CW)

Wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) (For Wireless models only)

The wireless LAN capability lets your machine communicate with other wireless devices using the
IEEE802.11b/g wireless standard in Infrastructure and Ad-hoc modes. (See the Network User’s Guide for
details.) This feature is available for Wireless Network Standard models only.

Printing

Choosing the right type of paper 1

For high quality printing, it is important to choose the right type of paper. Be sure to read About paper in the
User’s Guide before buying paper.

Simultaneous printing, scanning and faxing 1

Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax in memory, or while scanning a
document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during PC printing.

However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation, and
then continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.

Clearing data from the memory 1

If the LCD shows Data Remaining, you can clear the data that is left in the printer memory by pressing the

Stop/Exit key on the control panel.

Printing

Status Monitor 1

The Status Monitor utility is a configurable software tool for monitoring the status of one or more devices,
allowing you to get immediate notification of error messages such as paper empty, paper jam or ink
replacement required.

You can check the device status at anytime by double-clicking the icon in the tasktray or by choosing
Status Monitor located in Start/All Programs/Brother/MFC-XXXX on your PC.

There is also a link to the Brother Original Supplies website. Click the Visit the Original Supplies website
button for more information on Brother original supplies.

Note

For more information about using the Status Monitor software, right-click the Status Monitor icon and
choose Help.

Monitoring the machine’s status 1

Once you start up your PC, the Status Monitor icon appears on the tasktray.

 A green icon indicates the normal stand-by condition.

 A yellow icon indicates a warning.

 A red icon indicates an error has occurred.

There are two locations where you can display the Status Monitor on your PC—in the tasktray or on the
desktop.

 Highest

Use for printing precise images such as photographs. This is the highest resolution and slowest speed.

Colour Enhancement 1

This feature analyzes your image to improve its sharpness, white balance and colour density. This process
may take several minutes depending on the size of the image and the specifications of your PC.

 Colour Density

Adjusts the total amount of colour in the image. You can increase or decrease the amount of colour in an
image to improve a washed out or weak looking picture.

 White Balance

Adjusts the hue of the white areas of an image. Lighting, camera settings and other influences will affect
the appearance of white. The white areas of a picture may be slightly pink, yellow or some other colour.
By adjusting the white balance you can adjust those white areas.

 Brightness

Adjusts the brightness of the whole image. To lighten or darken the image, move the scroll bar to the right
or left.

 Contrast

Adjusts the contrast of an image. This will make darker areas darker and lighter areas lighter. Increase the
contrast when you want an image to be clearer. Decrease the contrast when you want an image to be more
subdued.

 Red

Increases the intensity of Red in the image to make the image redder.

 Green

1

Increases the intensity of Green in the image to make the image greener.

 Blue

Increases the intensity of Blue in the image to make the image bluer.

Bi-Directional Printing

When Bi-Directional Printing is checked, the print head prints in both directions offering faster print speeds.
When unchecked, the print head will only print in one direction giving higher quality printouts, but slower
printing speeds.

definite colour boundaries or for printing charts such as business charts.
