The machine displays PRINTING. If there are more pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically.
Front Output Bin The machine ejects paper with printed surfaces face down into the output bin in the front of the machine. 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. Manual Feed Slot Your machine has a manual feed slot above the paper cassette. You can load envelopes and special print media one at a time into this slot.
Loading One Sheet of Paper at a Time 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.

Instead, you will be using the Brother TWAIN driver from within your graphics application, such as Adobe ® Photoshop ®. Please see “Using Brother TWAIN Scanner Driver with Your Apple® New Power Macintosh® G3 or iMac™, page 6-11. PaperPort® for Brother is a document management application.
Viewing Items in PaperPort® 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.
