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

Page 12

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.

Page 53

Scanning

Note

 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.

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.

Auto Crop 2

You can scan multiple documents placed on the scanner glass. If you want to use Auto Crop, see Auto Crop

uu page 42.

Brightness 2

Adjust the setting (-50 to 50) to get the best image. The default value is 0, representing an average and is usually suitable for most images.

You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slider 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 setting Scan Type to Black & White, Gray (Error Diffusion), True Gray or 24bit Color.

Contrast 2

You can increase or decrease the contrast level by moving the slider 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 setting Scan Type to Gray (Error Diffusion), True Gray or 24bit Color.

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™12SE with OCR by NUANCE™ 2

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE supports Windows® XP (SP3 or higher), XP Professional x64 Edition (SP3

or greater), Windows Vista

(SP2 or higher) and Windows®7 only.

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE for Brother is a document management application. You can use PaperPort™12SE to view scanned documents.

PaperPort™12SE 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 section only introduces the basic functions of the software. For more details, see the ScanSoft™ Getting Started Guide. To view the complete ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE Getting Started Guide, choose the Help tab from the ribbon and click Getting Started Guide. When you install MFL-Pro Suite, ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE for Brother is installed automatically. You can access ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE through the ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE program group located in

Start/All Programs/Nuance PaperPort 12 on your computer.

Viewing items 2

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE gives several ways to view items: Desktop 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™12SE items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort™12SE items (files created using

other applications).

All graphical files (PaperPort™12SE'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 65

Scanning

ImageView displays a close-up of a single page. You can open a PaperPort™12SE item by clicking the Open with Image View button from the Desktop tab on the ribbon.

As long as you have the appropriate application on your computer to display it, you can also open a nonPaperPort™12SE item by double-clicking it.

Organizing your items in folders 2

PaperPort™12SE 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. An item can be a PaperPort™12SE item or a nonPaperPort™12SE 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.

 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™12SE MAX files and non PaperPort™12SE

files) appear in Desktop.

 You can also use Windows

Explorer to manage the folders and items shown in Desktop.

Quick links to other applications 2

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a ‘working link’ to them.

The bar at the bottom of the PaperPort™12SE desktop shows which programs you can use with PaperPort™12SE.

Page 66

Scanning

To send an item from PaperPort™12SE to another program, simply drag and drop the item from the PaperPort™12SE desktop to the program icon on the bar. PaperPort™12SE automatically converts the item to the preferred format.

If PaperPort™12SE does not automatically recognize one of the applications on your computer, you can manually create a link using the New Link button from the Tools tab on the ribbon.

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE with OCR lets you convert image text into text you can edit 2

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a word processing application.

PaperPort™12SE uses the optical character recognition software (OCR), which comes with PaperPort™12SE. PaperPort™12SE can use your preferred OCR application if it is already on your computer. You can convert the entire item, or by using the Copy Text button from the Items tab on the ribbon, you can choose only a portion of the text to convert.

Dragging an item onto a word-processing link icon starts PaperPort™12SE’s built-in OCR application, or you can use your own OCR application.

Importing items from other applications 2

As well as scanning items, you can bring items into PaperPort™12SE in a variety of ways and convert them to PaperPort™12SE (MAX) files in several different ways:

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

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

(TIFF).

Bitmap (BMP) or Tagged Image File Format

Word.

Exporting items into other formats 2

You can export or save PaperPort™12SE items in several popular file formats, such as BMP, JPEG, TIFF or PDF.

Exporting an image file 2

a Click Save As on the PaperPort button.

The Save ‘XXXXX’ as dialog box is displayed.

b Choose the drive and folder where you want to store the file. c Enter the new file name and choose the file type. d Click Save to save your file, or Cancel to return to PaperPort™12SE without saving it.
