Using the Brother printer driver

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:

http://solutions.brother.com

Windows® Printing

The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft® Windows® 98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional/XP and Windows NT® 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.

Note

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

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® users, see Using the Brother Laser driver for Macintosh® (Mac OS® X) on page 114 or Using the Brother Laser driver for Macintosh® (Mac OS® 9.1 to 9.2) on page 117.

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

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.

1. Printing

Duplex (two-sided) printing

The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper

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

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.

4

1. Printing

Automatic duplex (two-sided) printing

(For models that support automatic duplex printing)

Note

•Use A4, Letter or Legal size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function.

•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.

a b

Put paper in the paper tray or MP tray.

For the Windows printer driver

1Open the Properties dialog box in the printer driver.

2From the General tab, click the Printing Preferences icon.

3From the Advanced tab, click the Duplex icon.

4Make sure that Use Duplex Unit has been chosen.

5Click OK. The printer will print on both sides of the paper automatically.

For the BR-Script printer driver

1Open the Properties dialog box in the printer driver.

2From the General tab, click the Printing Preferences icon.

3From the Layout tab, choose Orientation, Print on Both Sides (Duplex) and Page Order.

4Click OK. The printer will print on both sides of the paper automatically.

Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing

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

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 language of a Hewlett-Packard® LaserJet laser printer. Many applications support this type of laser printer. Using this mode will allow your printer to run at its best with those applications.

BR-Script3 Mode

BR-Script is an original Brother page description language and a PostScript® language emulation interpreter. This printer supports level 3. The BR-Script interpreter of this printer allows you to control text and graphics on the page.

For technical information about PostScript® commands, see the following manuals:

•Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Reference, 3rd edition. Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999. ISBN: 0-201-37922-8

•Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Program Design. Addison-Wesley Professional, 1988. ISBN: 0-201-14396-8

•Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Tutorial and Cookbook. Addison-Wesley Professional, 1985. ISBN: 0-201-10179-3

EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL Mode

The EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL modes are the emulation modes that this printer supports to meet the industry-standard for dot matrix printers. Some applications support these dot matrix printer emulations. Use these emulation modes so your printer will work well when printing from those types of applications.
