Choosing the right type of paper To get high quality printing using your DCP, it’s very important to select the right type of paper. Be sure to read Chapter 2 Paper in this Guide before you select and purchase paper for the DCP. How to print your document When the DCP 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. 1 From your computer select the Print command.
Simultaneous printing Your DCP can print from your computer while scanning a document into the computer. However, when the DCP is copying, it pauses the PC printing operation, and resumes when copying is complete. Clearing data from the memory If the LCD shows DATA REMAINS, you can clear the data that is left in the printer memory by pressing Stop/Exit. Checking the Print Quality If you want to check the print quality and find out how to improve it, See How to improve print quality on page 15-8.

Black ink is used when you select Glossy Paper (4 colour).
Quality The quality selection allows you to choose the print resolution you want for your document. Print quality and speed are related. The higher the quality the longer it will take to print the document. The quality selections that are available will vary depending on the media type you select. ■ Photo: 2400 x 1200 dpi. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. This is the highest resolution and slowest speed. ■ S.Fine (Super Fine): 1200 x 1200 dpi.

This method of printing is more suitable for printing photographs that have delicate shades and graphics. ■ Dither: Dots are arranged in a pre-defined pattern to make halftones.
Colour Enhancement Selecting Colour Enhancement enables the Colour Enhancement feature. This feature analyzes your image to improve quality sharpness, white balance and colour density. This process may take several minutes depending on the size of the image and the specifications of your computer. ■ Colour Density This setting adjusts the total amount of colour in the image. You can increase or decrease the amount of colour in an image to improve a washed out or weak picture.
■ White Balance This setting adjusts the hue of the white areas of an image. Lighting, camera settings and other influences will effect the appearance of white. The white areas of a picture may be slightly pink, yellow or some other colour. By using this adjustment you can correct this effect and bring the white areas back to pure white. ■ Sharpness This setting enhances the detail of an image. It is similar to adjusting the fine focus on a camera.

9 How to scan using Windows® The scanning operations and drivers will be different depending on your operating system. For Windows® 98/98SE/Me and 2000 Professional The DCP uses a TWAIN Compliant driver for scanning documents from your applications. (See Scanning a document (For Windows® 98/98SE/Me and 2000 Professional) on page 9-2 and TWAIN compliant on page 9-2.) For Windows® XP Use Windows® Imaging Acquisition (WIA) for scanning documents. (See Scanning a document (For Windows® XP only) on page 9-11.
Scanning a document (For Windows® 98/98SE/Me and 2000 Professional) TWAIN compliant The Brother MFL-Pro Suite includes a TWAIN compliant scanner driver. TWAIN drivers meet the standard universal protocol for communicating between scanners and software applications. This means that not only can you scan images directly into the PaperPort® viewer that Brother included with your DCP, but you can also scan images directly into hundreds of other software applications that support TWAIN scanning.

Using the Brother TWAIN scanner driver with your Macintosh® (For Mac OS 8.6-9.2 and OS X 10.2.1 or greater) The Brother MFL-Pro Suite includes a TWAIN Scanner driver for Macintosh®. You can use this Macintosh® TWAIN Scanner driver with any applications that support the TWAIN specifications. Accessing the scanner Run your Macintosh® TWAIN-compliant application software.
Scanning an image into your Macintosh® You can scan a whole page —OR— scan a portion after prescanning the document. Scanning a whole page 1 2 3 Place the original face down on the scanner glass. Adjust the following settings, if needed, in the Scanner Setup dialog box: Resolution Color Type Scanning Area Brightness Contrast Color Sync Click Start. When scanning has finished, the image will appear in your graphics application.
PreScanning an image PreScanning allows you to scan an image quickly at a low resolution. A thumbnail version will appear in the Scanning Area. This is only a preview of the image, so you can see how it will look. The PreScan button will allow you to crop unwanted areas from the images. When you are satisfied with the preview, click Start to scan the image. 1 Insert the original face down on the scanner glass. 2 Click PreScan.
Settings in the Scanner window Image Resolution From the Resolution pop-up menu choose the scanning resolution. Higher resolutions use more memory and transfer time, but produce a finer scanned image.
Color Type Black & White—Set the image Type to Black and White for text or line art. For photographic images, set the image type to Gray (Error diffusion) or True Gray. Gray (Error Diffusion)—is used for documents with photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images by placing black dots instead of the true gray dots in a specific matrix instead of true gray dots.) True Gray—is used for documents with photographic images or graphics.
Scanning Area Set the Size to one of the following: ■ Letter (8.5 × 11 inches) ■ A4 (210 × 297 mm) ■ A5 (148 × 210 mm) ■ B5 (182 × 257 mm) ■ Executive (7.25 × 10.5 inches) ■ Business Card (90 × 60 mm) ■ Custom (adjusts it from 8.9 x 8.9 mm to 215.9 x297 mm) After you choose a custom size, you can adjust the scanning area. Click and hold the mouse button as you drag the mouse to crop the image. Width: Enter the width of the custom size. Length: Enter the length of the custom size.
Adjusting the Image Brightness Adjust the Brightness setting to get the best image. The Brother TWAIN Scanner driver offers 100 Brightness levels (-50 to 50). The default value is 0, representing an ‘average’ setting. You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slide bar to the right to lighten the image or to the left to darken the image. You can also type a value in the box to set the level. Click OK. If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and scan the image again.
Color Sync Dialog Perceptual Matching—All the colours of a given gamut (range of colours) are scaled proportionally to fit within another gamut (printable range of colours). The purpose is to maintain the balance between the colours of the image. This is the best way to get realistic viewable or printable images, for photographs and photo realistic graphics. Saturation Matching—The relative saturation of colours is maintained from gamut to gamut.
Relative Colorimetric Matching—The colours that fall within the gamuts of both devices are left unchanged. Some colours in both images will be exactly the same, a useful outcome when colours must match quantitatively. What that means is that if the colour is inside the gamut, it will stay the same colour. However, if the colour is outside the gamut, it will be mapped to the edge of the gamut. This intent is best suited for logos or “spot colours” where colour must match.
Using the PhotoCapture Center™ from a Macintosh® You can access the Media Card inserted into the DCP from a Macintosh®. For Mac OS 8.6 only You have to download “USB Mass Storage Support 1.3.5” software from the web site of Apple® Macintosh®. 1 2 3 Insert a SmartMedia®, CompactFlash® or Memory Stick® card into your DCP. The removal disk icon will appear on the Desktop. Double-click the Removable Disk icon. The files and folders that are on the media card will be displayed on your screen.
4 Quit all applications which are running stored data on the media card and drag the removal disk icon onto Trash before you remove the media card from the DCP. The Photo Capture Center™ will only read one card at a time so do not insert more than one media card at a time. Do NOT unplug the power cord, USB cable or remove a SmartMedia®, CompactFlash® or Memory Stick® card from the DCP while it is reading the card (LED is flashing). You will loose your data or damage the card.

How to improve print quality Cleaning the print head To ensure good print quality, the DCP will regularly clean the print head, alternatively you can start the cleaning process when needed. Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you get a horizontal line in the text or graphics on your printed pages. You can clean two colours at a time (BLACK/CYAN/YELLOW/MAGENTA), or all four colours at once. Cleaning the print head consumes ink. Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily.
