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.
Windows ® Printing
The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft ® Windows ® 98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional/XP and Windows NT ®
workstation 4.0 are available for your Brother device. 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.
How to print your 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.)
