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.

time, data transfer time and print time will be longer.
Fine
Better print quality than Normal mode and faster print speed than Photo.
Normal
Good print quality with typical print speed.
Fast Normal
Better print quality than Fast mode and faster print speed than Normal.

Color Enhancement (True2Life®) 1
Checking Color Enhancement (True2Life®) option enables the True2Life® feature. This feature analyzes
your image to improve its sharpness, white balance and color density. This process may take several minutes
depending on the size of the image and the specifications of your PC.
Color Density
Adjusts the total amount of color in the image. You can increase or decrease the amount of color 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 effect
the appearance of white. The white areas of a picture may be slightly pink, yellow or some other color. 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.
1
Green
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.

Advanced Color Settings 1
You can set the Halftone Pattern and Match Monitor for more color adjustment.
Halftone Pattern
The machine can use two methods (Diffusion or Dither) to arrange dots to express halftones. There are
some predefined patterns and you can choose which one to use for your document.
• Diffusion
Dots are put at random to create the halftones. Use for printing photographs that have delicate shades
and graphics.
• Dither
Dots are arranged in a pre-defined pattern to make halftones. Use for printing graphics that have
definite color boundaries or for printing charts such as business charts.
Match Monitor
Color is adjusted to get the closest color match with the PC monitor.

Printing on both sides of the paper 1
The following steps show how you can print on both sides of the paper using the Print Odd Pages and
Print Even Pages settings.
If you want to print a 10 page document on 5 sheets of paper, you must set the printer driver options to print
all odd-numbered pages in reverse order (page 9, 7, 5, 3, 1) first and then even-numbered pages in normal
order (page 2, 4, 6, 8, 10).
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.
