Using the Brother printer driver 1

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:

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.)

a From your application, choose the Print command.

If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, choose Brother MFC-XXXX or DCP-XXXX
Printer* as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then

click OK to begin printing.

*(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.)

Note

For Macintosh

Using the Brother Laser driver for Macintosh

b Your computer sends the data to the machine. The Status LED blinks in yellow and the machine starts

to print.

®

users, see Using the Brother Laser driver for Macintosh® (Mac OS® X) on page 114 or

®

(Mac OS® 9.1 to 9.2) on page 117.

c When the machine finishes printing all the data, the LCD shows the machine status.

Note

You can choose the paper size and orientation in your application software.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, choose the next larger paper size.
Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.

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.

• Make sure that the back cover is closed.

• Make sure that the duplex tray is installed correctly in the printer.

• If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.

• You should use regular paper. Do not use bond paper or thin paper.

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.

Printer Emulation Support 1

Your machine will receive print commands in a printer job language or emulation. Different operating systems
and applications will send the print commands in different languages. Your machine can receive print
commands in a variety of emulations and has an automatic emulation selection feature. When the machine
receives data from the computer, it automatically chooses the emulation mode. The default setting is
Auto(Epson).The machine can choose from the following combinations:

Auto (Epson) - default Auto (IBM)

HP LaserJet HP LaserJet

BR-Script3 BR-Script3

EPSON FX-850 IBM Proprinter XL

Your machine has the following emulation modes. You can change the setting by using the control panel.

 HP LaserJet Mode

The HP LaserJet mode (or HP mode) is the emulation mode in which this printer supports the PCL6
