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/

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 Basic User’s Guide.) The printer driver supports N in 1, Watermark printing, Color Enhancement technology and many other features.

Low Running Cost

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

USB

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

Ethernet (For Network models)

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-J265W, MFC-J270W, MFC-J410W and MFC-J415W)

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 Loading paper in the Basic 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

Note

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 Genuine Supplies web site. Click the Visit the Genuine Supplies website button for more information on Brother genuine supplies.

Click the Troubleshooting button to access the troubleshooting web site.

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

a In the printer driver, choose the Basic tab and check Reverse Order. b Choose the Advanced tab and click Other Print Options. c Choose Print Order and check Print Odd Pages.

Click OK.

d After the machine prints the odd-numbered pages, remove the printed pages from the output paper tray.

Before you go to the next step, make sure the printed pages are dry.

e Empty the paper tray. Do not add the printed pages to the top of a stack of unprinted paper. f Make sure the pages are completely flat before putting them back in the paper tray, with the side to be

printed on (the blank side) face down and the top page first.

Scanning a document using the TWAIN driver 2

The Brother MFL-Pro Suite software includes a TWAIN compliant scanner driver. TWAIN drivers meet the standard universal protocol for communicating between scanners and applications. This means that you can not only scan images directly into the PaperPort™11SE viewer that Brother included with your machine, but you can also scan images directly into hundreds of other software applications that support TWAIN scanning.

These applications include popular programs like Adobe and many more.

Scanning a document into the PC 2

There are two ways in which you can scan a whole page. You can either use the ADF (automatic document feeder) or the scanner glass.

a Load your document. b Start the ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE software that was installed during the MFL-Pro Suite installation

to scan a document.

• Depending on your model ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE may not be included. If it is not included, please use other software applications that support scanning.

 256 Color

Uses up to 256 colors to scan the image.

 24bit Color

Uses up to 16.8 million colors to scan the image. Although using 24bit Color creates an image with the most accurate color reproduction, the image file size

will be about three times larger than a file created using the 256 Color option. It requires the most memory and has the longest transfer time.

Scanning

Note

Reduce Noise 2

You can improve and enhance the quality of your scanned images with this selection. The Reduce Noise setting is available when using 24bit Color and scan resolutions of 300  300 dpi, 400  400 dpi or 600  600 dpi.

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.

The Brightness setting is only available when you set Scan Type to Black & White,

Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray.

Contrast 2

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

The Contrast setting is only available when you set Scan Type to Gray (Error Diffusion) or True Gray.

When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics application, try different settings for the Resolution, Scan Type, Brightness and Contrast to see which setting best suits your needs.

Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE with OCR by NUANCE™ 2

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE supports Windows® 2000 (SP4 or greater) or XP (SP2 or greater), XP

Professional x64 Edition, Windows Vista

and Windows®7 only.

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE for Brother is a document management application. You can use PaperPort™11SE to view scanned documents.

PaperPort™11SE has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use filing system that will help you organize your graphics and text documents. It allows you to mix or ‘stack’ documents of different formats for printing, faxing or filing.

This chapter only introduces the basic functions of the software. For more details, see the ScanSoft™ Getting Started Guide. To view the ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE Getting Started Guide, choose Help from PaperPort™11SE menu bar and click Getting Started Guide. When you install MFL-Pro Suite, ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE for Brother is installed automatically. You can access ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE through the ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE program group located in

Start/All Programs/ScanSoft PaperPort 11 on your PC.

Scanning

Viewing items 2

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE gives several ways to view items: Desktop view displays the item in the chosen folder with a thumbnail (a small graphic that shows each item

in a desktop or folder) or an icon. You can see both PaperPort™11SE items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort™11SE items (files created using

other applications). All graphical files (PaperPort™11SE's *.max and other files) will be displayed and include an icon that

indicates the application that the specific file type is associated or created with. Non-graphical files are indicated by a small rectangular thumbnail and are not displayed as actual images.

Page View displays a close-up of a single page. You can open a PaperPort™11SE item by double-clicking

its icon or the thumbnail in Desktop view. As long as you have the appropriate application on your PC to display it, you can also open a non-

PaperPort™11SE item by double-clicking it.

Scanning

Organizing your items in folders 2

PaperPort™11SE 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™11SE item or a non-PaperPort™11SE item:

 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™11SE MAX files and non PaperPort™11SE

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™11SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your PC and creates a ‘working link’ to them.

The bar at the bottom of the PaperPort™11SE desktop shows which programs you can use with PaperPort™11SE.

To send an item from PaperPort™11SE to another program, simply drag and drop the item from the PaperPort™11SE desktop to the program icon on the Send To bar. PaperPort™11SE automatically converts the item to the preferred format.

If PaperPort™11SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your PC, you can manually create a link using the New Program Link command.

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE with OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit 2

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™11SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a word processing application.

PaperPort™11SE uses the optical character recognition software (OCR), which comes with PaperPort™11SE. PaperPort™11SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your PC. You can convert the entire item, or by using the Copy Text command, you can choose only a portion of the text to convert.

Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort™11SE’s built-in OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.

Scanning

Importing items from other applications 2

As well as scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort™11SE in a variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort™11SE (MAX) files in several different ways:

 Print to the Desktop view from another application, such as Microsoft

 Import files saved in other file formats, such as Windows

(TIFF).

Bitmap (BMP) or Tagged Image File Format

Excel®.

Exporting items into other formats 2

You can export or save PaperPort™11SE items in several popular file formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF or PDF.

Exporting an image file 2

a Click File, then Save As in the PaperPort™11SE window.

The Save ‘XXXXX’ as dialog box is displayed.
