You can access the following features from your machine’s control panel.

Job Cancel 1

To cancel the current print job, press Job Cancel. You can clear the data that is left in the printer memory by
pressing Job Cancel. To cancel multiple print jobs, hold down this key until the LCD shows Job Cancel
(All).

Secure Key (For MFC-7460DN and MFC-7860DW) 1

Secured data is password protected. Only those people who know the password will be able to print the
secured data. The machine will not print secure data until the password is entered. After the document is
printed, the data will be cleared from the memory. To use this function, you need to set your password in the
printer driver dialog box. (See Secure Print on page 23, 37, 127, 135 and 141.) If you turn the power switch
Off, the secured data saved in memory will be cleared.

1

a Press Secure.

If the LCD displays No Data Stored, there is no secured data in the memory.

b Press a or b to choose the user name. Press OK. The LCD displays the secured jobs list for that name.
c Press a or b to choose the job. Press OK. Enter your four-digit password and press OK.
d To print the data, press a or b to choose Print, press OK and then enter the number of copies you want.

Press OK.
The machine prints the data.
To delete the secured data, press a or b to choose Delete. Press OK.

After you print the secured data, it will be cleared from memory.

Printer Emulation Support (For HL-2280DW and MFC-7860DW) 1

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.

Your machine has the following emulation modes. You can change the setting by using the control panel or
Web Based Management (web browser). To use Web Based Management, type http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
(where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address of your machine) into your browser.

Using the control panel

Note

 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 machine to run at its best with those applications.

 BR-Script 3 Mode (Not available for HL-2280DW)

BR-Script is an original Brother page description language and a PostScript
interpreter. This machine supports PostScript

to control text and graphics on the page.

Using the Brother printer driver 2

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 the steps in the
Quick Setup Guide. The latest printer driver can also be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at:

http://solutions.brother.com/

/Windows Server®20081/Windows Server®2008 R21/Windows® 7 are available on the CD-ROM
supplied with your Brother device. You can install them easily into your Windows
program. The drivers support our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows

applications, and allows you to set various printer settings, including Toner Save Mode and custom paper
size.

Note

Printing a document 2

When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper
tray. The paper tray can feed many types of paper and envelopes. (See the Basic 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* 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.)

(Macintosh) See Features in the printer driver (Macintosh) on page 121.

b Your computer sends the data to the machine.
c When the machine finishes printing all the data, the LCD shows the machine status.

2

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 largest paper size.
Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.

Printing

Duplex printing 2

The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing.

Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper 2

 If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
 If paper is curled, turn over the stack, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or manual feed slot.
 If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the

stack.

 When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.

If there is a paper jam, see Error and maintenance messages in the Basic User's Guide. If you have a print
quality problem, see Improving the print quality in the Basic User's Guide.

Automatic duplex printing (Not available for MFC-7360N) 2

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

2

 Make sure that the back cover is closed.
 If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
 Use regular paper or thin paper. DO NOT use bond paper.

Manual duplex printing 2

The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the printer 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.

10

Printing

Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing 2

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 the 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.
