Using the Brother printer driver
A Printer Driver is software that translates data from the format used by a computer into the format required
by a particular printer, using a printer command language or page description language.
The printer drivers are on the CD-ROM we have supplied. Install the drivers first by following the Quick Setup
Guide. Also, the latest printer driver can be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at:
Windows

Printing
The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft

Windows

98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional/XP and Windows NT
®
workstation 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with your Brother device. You can install them easily
into your Windows
®
system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode
to enhance printing speed in Windows
®
applications, and allows you to set various printer settings, including
economy printing mode and custom paper size.
Printing a document
When the machine 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. (See the User’s Guide for information
about the Paper Tray and Recommended paper.)
