Before Using Your Machine

Before attempting any printing operation, confirm the following:

•Make sure you have installed the Brother software and drivers.

•For USB or network cable users: Make sure the interface cable is physically secure.

Simultaneous printing, scanning and faxing

Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax into memory or while scanning a document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during printing from your computer. However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the printing operation, and then continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.

DCP models do not support the fax feature.

Firewall (Windows®)

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 the drivers using the steps in the installer, the necessary firewall settings have been already set. If you are using any other personal firewall software, see the User's Guide for your software or contact the software manufacturer.
