7 Using the Brother DCP as a Printer 7 Special Printing Features Windows® Printing The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™ compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/98SE/Me and NT®4.0/2000 Professional are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your DCP. You can install them easily into your Windows® system using our installer program.
Printing From Your PC Multi-purpose Paper Cassette The DCP’s multi-purpose paper cassette can be adjusted to feed many sizes of paper: letter, legal, A4, A5, B5, A6, B6 and executive plain paper. When the DCP receives print data from your computer, it loads paper from the paper cassette. Insert the sheet of paper with the side you wish to print on face down in the paper cassette. ■ Select the print command from your PC. Your PC sends a print command and data to the DCP.
Caution When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the print quality might not be satisfactory. (See Paper is Jammed in the Paper Cassette, page 14-4.) Front Output Bin The DCP ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the output bin in the front of the DCP. Unfold the output bin extension to support the printed pages. To prevent the possibility of transparencies smudging as they stack in the output bin, remove each transparency after it exits.
Loading One Sheet of Paper You do not have to choose Manual Feed in the Setup dialog box of your printer driver. Insert the sheet of paper for Portrait (vertical) or Landscape (horizontal), with the side you wish to print on face up in the manual feed slot. 1 Align the paper at the center of the manual feed slot and insert it all the way. 2 Adjust the paper guides to the width of the paper.
Printing on Thicker Paper and Card Stock When the rear cover is lifted up, the DCP has a straight paper path from the manual feed slot to the rear of the printer. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on envelope, thicker paper or card stock. 1 Select manual feed mode in the printer driver. 2 Send the print data as usual. 3 Lift up the rear cover at the rear of the DCP. 4 Adjust the manual feed paper guides to the width of the paper you are using.
Simultaneous Operation Your DCP can print data from your computer while scanning information into the computer. However, when the DCP is copying on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation, and resumes when copying is complete. (See Acceptable Paper, page 2-5.) Choosing Acceptable Paper We recommend that you test paper (especially special sizes and types of paper) on the DCP before purchasing large quantities. ■ Avoid feeding labels with carrier sheets exposed, or your DCP will be damaged.
Printer Operation Key Reset Key You can clear data from the memory.

10 Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort® for Brother and ScanSoft™ TextBridge® (For Windows® Only) 10 Using ScanSoft™ PaperPort® and TextBridge® ScanSoft™ Paper Port® for Brother is a document management application. You will use PaperPort® to view incoming faxes and scanned documents. PaperPort® has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use, filing system that will help you organize your documents. It allows you to combine or “stack” documents of different formats for printing, faxing or filing.
Viewing Items in ScanSoft™ PaperPort® for Brother PaperPort® provides several ways to view items: Desktop View displays a thumbnail, a small graphic that represents each item in a Desktop or folder. Items in the selected folder appear on the PaperPort® Desktop. You can see PaperPort® items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort® items (files created using other applications).
Links to Many Other Applications PaperPort® automatically recognizes many other applications on your computer and creates a “working link” to them. The Link Bar at the bottom of Desktop view shows icons of those linked applications. To use a link, drag an item onto one of the icons to start the application represented by the icon. A typical use of the Link Bar is to select an item and then fax it. This sample Link Bar shows several applications with links to PaperPort®.
Exporting Items in Other Formats You can export or save PaperPort® items in several popular file formats. For Windows® 95/98/98SE, and Windows NT® Workstation Version 4.0, Windows® 2000 Professional and Windows® ME, you can export formats BMP, PCX, DCX, JPG, TIF, PDF, PNG, FPX, HFX, or self-viewing. For Windows® 3.1x, you can export file formats BMP, PCX, DCX, JPG, TIF, PDF, HFX and GIF. For example, you could create a file for an Internet Web site and export it as a JPEG file.

14 Troubleshooting and Routine Maintenance 14 Troubleshooting IMPORTANT For technical and operational assistance, you must call the country where you purchased the printer. Calls must be made from within that country. Error Messages As with any sophisticated office product, errors may sometimes occur. If this happens, your DCP often identifies the problem and displays an error message. The table below explains the most common error messages. You can correct most problems by yourself.
Error Messages Error Message Cause Action COVER OPEN PLS CLOSE COVER The front cover was not completely closed. Close the front cover for the drum unit. CHECK ORIGINAL Originals were not inserted or fed properly, or original scanned from ADF was longer than about 40 inches (90cm). See Original Jams and Paper Jams, page 14-3. MACHINE ERROR XX DCP has a mechanical problem.
Original Jams and Paper Jams Based upon where the original or printed sheet is jammed, follow the appropriate set of instructions to remove it. Original is Jammed in the top of the ADF Unit 1 Remove any paper from the ADF that is not jammed. 2 Lift the ADF cover. 3 Pull the jammed original out to the left. 4 Close the ADF cover. 5 Press Stop. ADF Cover Original is Jammed inside the ADF Unit 1 Lift the document cover. 2 Remove any paper from the ADF that is not jammed. 3 Lift the ADF unit.
Paper Jam Before you can clear a paper jam error, you must find out where the paper is stuck. See the following three types of paper jams. WARNING Do not use force to pull the jammed paper from the paper tray because you may damage the DCP and cause toner to scatter on the next printed pages. After you use the DCP, some internal parts are extremely HOT! When you open the front, never touch the shaded parts shown in the following diagram.
Paper is Jammed near the Drum Unit 1 Open the front cover. 2 Remove the drum unit but do not force it if it cannot be removed easily. Instead, pull the edge of the jammed paper from the paper cassette. 3 Gently pull out the jammed paper. 4 Reinstall the drum unit. 5 Close the front cover. Paper is Jammed in the Fuser Unit 1 Open the rear cover. 2 Pull out the jammed paper.
If You Are Having Difficulty with Your DCP If you think there is a problem with your DCP, make a copy first. If the copy looks good, the problem is probably not your DCP. Check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips. DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Copy Quality Difficulties Vertical streaks appear in copies. Sometimes you may see vertical streaks on your copies. Either the scanner or the primary corona wire for printing is dirty. Clean them both. (See pages 14-14 and 14-16.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS You see the “New Hardware Found” message on your PC screen (although you have already installed the drivers in Windows 95). Click on “Do not install a driver. (Windows will not prompt you again)” and click “OK”. You see the “Update Device Driver Wizard” or “Add New Hardware Wizard” message on your PC screen (although you have already installed the drivers in Windows 95 or 98). Follow the instructions from the installer, then click “Next”.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS DOS Setup Printing Difficulties I cannot print from my application software. Check that the DOS application software interface settings match those of your printer. For example, if you are using a parallel printer cable, you would probably set your DOS software printer port to LPT1. Check for an error message on the LCD. The DCP prints, but it prints incorrect information. Sometimes it prints a couple of characters and then ejects the pages.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Print Quality Difficulties Printed pages are curled. Thin Paper (17lb-18.4lb) can cause this problem. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the paper in your multipurpose sheet feeder. (See Paper Type, page 5-6 and 5-10 and Media Type, page 8-4.) Printed pages are smeared. Rough surfaces or thick media can cause “smeared pages” —OR—“the toner to smear.” Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-purpose sheet feeder.
DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS The whole page is printed black. Clean the DCP’s interior and the primary corona wire of the drum unit. (See page 14-16.) Also, do not use heat sensitive paper as it will cause this problem. After cleaning, if the printed pages are still black or the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one. The drum unit may be damaged. Black Page Nothing printed on the page. Make sure that the toner cartridge is not empty.
Packing and Shipping the DCP Whenever you transport the DCP, use the packing materials that came with your DCP. If you do not pack the DCP correctly, you could void your warranty. 1 Unplug the DCP from the AC outlet.

Front view 1 Open the front cover and pull out the drum unit. Place the drum unit on a drop cloth or large piece of disposable paper to avoid spilling and scattering the toner. 2 Hold down the lock lever on the right and pull the toner cartridge out of the drum unit assembly.
Caution ■ Wait to unpack the toner cartridge until immediately before you install it in the DCP. If a toner cartridge is left unpacked for a long period of time, the toner life is shortened. ■ You can use only a genuine Brother toner cartridge (TN-430 or TN-460), which is specially formulated to ensure top print quality. Using another brand of toner cartridge may void your DCP’s warranty.
8 Reinstall the drum unit and close the front cover. Replacing the Drum Unit The DCP uses a drum unit to create print images on paper. If the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, the drum unit is near the end of its life and it is time to purchase a new one. Even if the LCD shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, you may be able to continue printing without having to replace the drum unit for a while.
Follow these steps to replace the drum unit: 1 Open the front cover. 2 Remove the old drum unit. Place the drum unit on a drop cloth or disposable paper to avoid scattering toner. 3 Hold down the lock lever on the right and pull the toner cartridge out of the drum unit assembly.
