A printer driver is software that translates data from the format used by a PC into the format needed 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 by following Quick Setup Guide. The latest printer driver can also be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at:

If your PC is protected by a firewall, and is unable to print, you may need to configure the firewall settings to allow communication through port number 137. Visit the Brother Solutions Center (http://solutions.brother.com

) for more information.

1. Printing

Printing a document 1

When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper tray. Your machine can print on many different types of paper and envelopes. (See the User’s Guide for information about the Paper Tray and Recommended paper.)

Duplex (two-sided) printing 1

The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper 1

 If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

 If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the MP tray.

 If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.

Manual duplex (two-sided) printing 1

The machine 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 thick paper is not recommended.

1. Printing

Automatic duplex (two-sided) printing (For models that support automatic duplex printing) 1

Uses up to 256 colours to scan the image.

 24 bit Colour

Uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image.

Adjust the setting (-50 to 50) to get the best image. The default value is 0, representing an average.

You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. You can also enter a value in the box to set the level.

If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is too dark, set a higher Brightness level and scan the document again.

Note

The Brightness setting is only available when Black & White Grey or True Grey is chosen.

Contrast 2

You can increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slide bar to the left or right. An increase emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more detail in grey areas. You can also enter a value in the box to set the Contrast.

ScanSoft® PaperPort® SE gives several ways to view items:

Desktop View displays a thumbnail (a small graphic that shows each item in a desktop or folder).

Items in the chosen folder appear on the PaperPort

files) and non-PaperPort

Non-PaperPort

non-PaperPort

SE items include an icon that indicates the application that was used to create the item; a

SE item is indicated by a small rectangular thumbnail and not an actual image.

SE items (files created using other applications).

SE Desktop. You can see PaperPort® SE items (MAX

Page View displays a close-up of a single page and you can open a PaperPort® SE item by double-clicking it.

As long as you have the proper application on your PC to display it, you can also double-click a non-

Organizing your items in folders 2

PaperPort® SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of

folders and items that you choose to view in Desktop View. An item can be a PaperPort

 Folders are arranged in a ‘tree’ structure in the Folder View. You use this section to choose folders and

view their items in Desktop View.

 You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the mouse

button and the item is stored in that folder.

 Folders can be ‘nested’—that is, stored in other folders.

 When you double-click a folder, its contents (both PaperPort

SE MAX files and non PaperPort® SE files)

appear on the Desktop.

 You can also use Windows

Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop View.

Quick links to other applications 2

ScanSoft® PaperPort® SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your PC and creates a ‘working link’ to them.

The Send To Bar at the bottom of the Desktop view shows icons for those linked applications.

To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start that application. A typical use of the Send To Bar is to choose an item and then fax it.

This sample Send To Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort

SE.

If PaperPort® SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your PC, you can manually

create a link using the New Program Link... command. (See PaperPort

SE in the Documents section on

the CD-ROM for more information about creating new links.)

ScanSoft® PaperPort® OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit 2

ScanSoft® PaperPort® SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a word processing application.
