Printer Emulation Support 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
a web browser.
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-Script3 Mode
®
BR-Script is an original Brother page description language and a PostScript
®
interpreter. This machine supports PostScript
3™. The BR-Script interpreter of this machine allows you
to control text and graphics on the page.

language emulation
The EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL modes are the emulation modes that this printer supports to
meet the industry-standard for dot matrix printers. Some applications support these dot matrix printer
emulations. Use these emulation modes so your printer will work well when printing from those types of
applications.

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 installer CD-ROM we have supplied. Install the drivers by following the Quick
Setup Guide. The latest printer drivers can also be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at:
http://solutions.brother.com/

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. (For information about the Paper Tray and
Recommended paper: uu Basic User's Guide)
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) uu page 127.
b Your computer sends the data to the machine and the Data LED will blink.
c When the machine finishes printing all the data, the Data LED finishes blinking.
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.

Duplex (two-sided) 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 the MP Tray.
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: uu Basic User's Guide: Error and maintenance messages. If you have a print
quality problem: uu Basic User's Guide: Improving the print quality.
Automatic duplex printing 2
Use A4 size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function.
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.
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.
