Note

•The screens in this section are from Windows® XP. Screens on your computer may vary depending on your operating system.

•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® Firewall and you installed MFL-Pro Suite from the CD-ROM, the necessary Firewall settings have already been made. If you did not install from the CD-ROM, see Firewall settings (For Network users) uu page 117 to configure your Windows® Firewall. If you are using any other personal Firewall software, see the user’s guide for your software or contact the software manufacturer.

Using the Brother printer driver

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

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

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

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.
