Using the Brother printer driver 1
A printer driver is software that translates data from the format used by a PC into the format needed by a
particular printer, using a printer command language or page description language.
The printer drivers are on the installer CD-ROM we have supplied. Install the drivers by following the Quick
Setup Guide. The latest printer drivers can also be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at:
http://solutions.brother.com/

Printing a document 1
When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper
tray. The paper tray can feed plain paper and recycled paper. (For information about the Paper Tray and
Recommended paper: See User’s Guide)
aFrom your application, choose the Print command.
If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, choose Brother MFC-XXXX* as your printer
driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then click OK or Print to
begin printing.
*(Where XXXX is your model name.)
NOTE
• You can choose the paper size and orientation in your application software.
• If your application software does not support your custom paper size, choose the next largest paper size.
Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.

2-sided printing 1
The supplied printer driver supports manual 2-sided printing.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper 1
If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.
If paper is curled, turn over the stack, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray.
If the paper is not feeding correctly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the
stack.
When you use the manual 2-sided function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.
If there is a paper jam: See User’s Guide: Paper Jams. If you have a print quality problem: See User’s
Guide: Improving the print quality.
The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the printer driver
instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well,
or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or thick paper is not recommended.
Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing 1
Your machine can print from your computer while sending or receiving a fax in memory, or while scanning a
document into the computer. Fax sending will not be stopped during the computer printing. However, when
the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the computer printing operation, and then
continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.

The scanning operations and drivers will be different depending on your operating system. The machine uses
a TWAIN compliant driver for scanning documents from your applications.
Two scanner drivers are installed. A Windows® Imaging Acquisition (WIA) driver (See Scanning a document
using the WIA driver on page 26) and a TWAIN compliant scanner driver (See Scanning a document using
the TWAIN driver on page 35).

default setting.
The default settings are listed in the table below:
Resolution 2
You can choose a scanning resolution from the Resolution drop-down list. Higher resolutions take more
memory and transfer time, but produce a finer scanned image. The following table shows the resolutions you
can choose and the available colour options.
Scan Type 2
Black & White
Use for text or line art.
Grey (Error Diffusion)
Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated grey images
without using true grey dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give a grey appearance.)
True Grey
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact due to using up to 256 shades of grey.
Scan (Image Type) Resolution Scan Type
Photo Use for scanning photo images. 300 x 300 dpi 24bit Colour

256 Colour
Uses up to 256 colours to scan the image.
24bit Colour
Uses up to 16.8 million colours to scan the image.
Although using 24bit Colour creates an image with the most accurate colour, the image file will be about
three times larger than a file created with 256 Colour. It requires the most memory and has the longest
transfer time.
Reduce Noise 2
You can improve and enhance the quality of your scanned images with this selection. The Reduce Noise
setting is available when using 24bit Colour and scan resolutions of 300 300 dpi, 400 400 dpi or 600
600 dpi.
Brightness 2
Adjust the setting (-50 to 50) to get the best image. The default value is 0, representing an average.
You can set the Brightness level by dragging the slider to the right or left to lighten or darken the image. You
can also enter a value in the box to set the level.
If the scanned image is too light, set a lower Brightness level and scan the document again. If the image is
too dark, set a higher Brightness level and scan the document again.
NOTE
The Brightness setting is not available when 256 Colour is chosen.
Contrast 2
You can increase or decrease the Contrast level by moving the slider to the left or right. An increase
emphasizes dark and light areas of the image, while a decrease reveals more detail in grey areas. You can
also enter a value in the box to set the Contrast.
NOTE
The Contrast setting is only available when Grey (Error Diffusion), True Grey or 24bit Colour is chosen.
When scanning photographs or other images for use in a word processor or other graphics application, try
different settings for the contrast and resolution to see which setting best suits your needs.
Document Size 2
Choose one of the following sizes:
A4 210 x 297 mm (8.3 x 11.7 in)
JIS B5 182 x 257 mm (7.2 x 10.1 in)
Letter 215.9 x 279.4 mm (8 1/2 x 11 in)
