Printer driver
A printer driver is software that translates data from the format used by a computer to the format that a
particular printer needs. Typically, this format is a printer command language or page description
language.
The printer drivers for the following operating systems are on the CD-ROM that we have supplied. You
can also download the latest printer driver from the Brother Solutions Center at

You can see the operations and detailed information in the Install Software section of the supplied
