• If your computer is protected by a firewall, and you are unable to network print, network scan or PC-Fax,
you may need to configure the firewall settings. If you are using the Windows
MFL-Pro Suite from the CD-ROM, the necessary Firewall settings have already been made. If you did not

Using the Brother printer driver 1
A printer driver translates the data from your 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 best possible resolution. 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 computer.
Ethernet (For Wired Network models)
The Ethernet interface lets your machine communicate with multiple computers connected on a network. This
feature is available for Wired Network models only.
Wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n)
The wireless LAN capability lets your machine communicate with other wireless devices using the
IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless standard in Infrastructure and Ad-hoc modes. uuNetwork User’s Guide

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 and
Loading documents in the Basic User’s Guide before buying paper, and to determine the printable area
depending on the settings in the printer driver.
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 computer printing.
However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the computer printing operation,
and then continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.
If the LCD shows Ink low, one or more of the ink cartridges are near the end of their life. If a sending
machine has a color fax to send, your machine’s “handshake” will ask that the fax be sent as black & white.
If the sending machine has the ability to convert it, the color fax will be printed at your machine as a black &
white fax. You can continue printing until the LCD shows Cannot Print.

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.

Note
Print Quality 1
The Print Quality selection lets you choose the print resolution. As print quality and speed are related, the
higher the quality, the longer it will take to print the document. The quality selections that are available will
vary depending on the media type you choose.
Best
Use for printing precise images such as photographs. This is the best resolution and slowest speed.
Photo
Use for printing photographs. Since the print data is much larger than a normal document, the processing
time, data transfer time and print time will be longer.
High
Better print quality than Normal mode and faster print speed than Photo.
Normal
Good print quality with typical print speed.
Fast
The fastest print mode and the lowest amount of ink used. Use for printing large volume documents or
documents for proofing.
