Setting Up the MFC and PC to Work Together

Before You Begin

•

You must set up the hardware and install the driver before you can use your MFC as a printer and scanner with your applications.

•

Please see the README.WRI file in the root directory of the CD-ROM for last-minute important installation and troubleshooting information.

•

Please purchase the appropriate interface cable you intend to use (Parallel or USB).

If you have any problem for installation, visit us at: http://solutions.brother.com

Use only a shielded parallel interface cable that is IEEE 1284-compliant and/or a USB cable that is no longer than 6 feet long (1.8 meters).

Follow the instructions in this guide for your operating system and interface.

Step 1.

Unplug the MFC from the AC outlet and disconnect your MFC from your computer

if you already connected an interface cable.

Step 2.

Turn on your computer.

For Windows

2000 Professional, you must be logged on as the Administrator.

click on your model name. The CD-ROM main menu will appear.

directory of the Brother CD-ROM.)
