Using the machine as a

printer

Using the Brother printer driver

A Printer Driver is software that translates data from the format used by a computer into the format required 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 first by following the Quick Setup Guide. Also, the latest printer driver can be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at:

1 - 1 USING THE MACHINE AS A PRINTER

How to print your document

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.

From your computer select the Print command. If your computer is also connected to any other printers, select Brother MFC-XXXX or DCP-XXXX (USB) Printer (Where XXXX is your model name) as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then click on OK to begin printing.

Your computer sends a print command and data to the machine.

The LED blinks in yellow and the machine starts to print. You can select the paper size and orientation in your application

software.

If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next largest paper size.

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

USING THE MACHINE AS A PRINTER 1 - 2

Simultaneous printing and faxing

Your machine can print from your computer while scanning the document into the computer, or while sending/receiving a fax in memory. (MFC-8440, MFC-8640D, MFC-8840D and MFC-8840DN only) Fax sending will not be stopped during PC printing.

Two-sided printing (Duplex Printing)

The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing. (For more information, see Duplex Printing on page 2-8.)

Automatic Duplex Printing (For MFC-8640D, MFC-8840D, MFC-8840DN and DCP-8045D)

In this mode, the machine prints on both sides of A4, Letter or Legal paper automatically.

Open the Properties dialog box in the printer driver.

Select Duplex Printing mode in the Advanced tab, make sure that ‘Use Duplex Unit’ has been selected, and then click the OK button. (See Duplex Printing on page 2-8.) The printer will print on both sides of the paper automatically.

■ When you select Use Duplex Unit, HQ 1200 is not

available.

■ If you also want to use Duplex Printing for fax and copy

operations, see To use Automatic Duplexing for fax, copy and print operations (For MFC-8640D, MFC-8840D, MFC-8840DN and DCP-8045D) in the User’s Guide.

1 - 3 USING THE MACHINE AS A PRINTER

Manual Duplex Printing

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

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 very thick paper is not recommended.

We recommend 20 to 24 lb (75 to 90 g/m

) paper.

Face-down output tray

The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the output tray in the front of the machine. Unfold the support flap to support the printed pages.

When printing transparencies, remove each one from the support flap after it exits the machine.

1 - 11 USING THE MACHINE AS A PRINTER

Using both hands put the envelope in the manual feed tray until the front edge of the envelope touches the paper feed roller. Hold the envelope in this position until the machine automatically feeds it in for a short distance, and then let go of the envelope.

■ Make sure the envelope is straight as you insert it in the

manual feed tray. If it is not, the envelope may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a jam.

■ Do not put more than one envelope in the manual feed tray

at any one time, or it may cause a jam.

■ Put the envelope in the manual feed tray, making sure that

the side to be printed on is face up in the tray.

USING THE MACHINE AS A PRINTER 1 - 12
