Using the Brother printer driver
1
A printer driver translates the data from your application, and using a page description language, converts it
into a format that can be understood by the printer/multi-function device.
You will find appropriate drivers on the CD-ROM supplied with the machine. Install those drivers by following
the Quick Setup Guide. You can also download the latest drivers from the Brother Solutions Center at:
Features
1
This machine offers many features you will find in a high quality ink jet printer.
Brilliant High Quality Output
Printing at up to 1200 6000 dpi on glossy paper to get the best possible resolution. The printer driver
supports N in 1, Watermark printing, Color Enhancement technology and many other features.
Low Running Cost
Whenever a particular ink color requires replacement, you only have to replace that individual cartridge.
USB
The Universal Serial Bus interface provides fast communication with your computer.
Ethernet (For Wired Network models)
The Ethernet interface lets your machine communicate with multiple computers connected on a network. This
feature is available for Wired Network models only.
Wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g/n)
The wireless LAN capability lets your machine communicate with other wireless devices using the
IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless standard in Infrastructure and Ad-hoc modes. uuNetwork User’s Guide

Choosing the right type of paper
1
1
For high quality printing, it is important to choose the right type of paper. Be sure to read Loading paper and
Loading documents in the Basic User’s Guide before buying paper, and to determine the printable area
depending on the settings in the printer driver.
Simultaneous printing, scanning 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 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.
If the LCD shows Ink low, one or more of the ink cartridges are near the end of their life. If a sending
machine has a color fax to send, your machine’s “handshake” will ask that the fax be sent as black & white.
If the sending machine has the ability to convert it, the color fax will be printed at your machine as a black &
white fax. You can continue printing until the LCD shows Cannot Print.
Clearing data from the memory
1
If the LCD shows Data Remaining, you can clear the data that is left in the printer memory by pressing the
Stop/Exit key on the control panel.

Print Quality

The Print Quality selection lets you choose the print resolution. As print quality and speed are related, the
higher the quality, the longer it will take to print the document. The quality selections that are available will
vary depending on the media type you choose.
Best
Use for printing precise images such as photographs. This is the best resolution and slowest speed.
Photo
Use for printing photographs. Since the print data is much larger than a normal document, the processing
time, data transfer time and print time will be longer.
High
Better print quality than Normal mode and faster print speed than Photo.
Normal
Good print quality with typical print speed.
Fast
The fastest print mode and the lowest amount of ink used. Use for printing large volume documents or

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE for Brother is a document management application. You can use
PaperPort™12SE to view scanned documents.
PaperPort™12SE has a sophisticated, yet easy-to-use filing system that will help you organize your graphics
and text documents. It allows you to mix or ‘stack’ documents of different formats for printing, faxing or filing.
This section only introduces the basic functions of the software. For more details, see the ScanSoft™
Getting Started Guide. To view the complete ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE Getting Started Guide,
choose the Help tab from the ribbon and click Getting Started Guide. When you install MFL-Pro Suite,
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE for Brother is installed automatically. You can access ScanSoft™
PaperPort™12SE through the ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE program group located in
Start/All Programs/Nuance PaperPort 12 on your computer.
Viewing items
2
ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE gives several ways to view items:
Desktop displays the item in the chosen folder with a thumbnail (a small graphic that shows each item in a
desktop or folder) or an icon.
You can see both PaperPort™12SE items (MAX files) and non-PaperPort™12SE items (files created using
other applications).
All graphical files (PaperPort™12SE's *.max and other files) will be displayed and include an icon that
indicates the application that the specific file type is associated or created with. Non-graphical files are
indicated by a small rectangular thumbnail and are not displayed as actual images.

Organizing your items in folders

PaperPort™12SE has an easy-to-use filing system for organizing your items. The filing system consists of
folders and items that you choose to view in Desktop. An item can be a PaperPort™12SE item or a non-
PaperPort™12SE item:
Folders are arranged in a ‘tree’ structure in the Folder View. You use this section to choose folders and
view their items in Desktop.
You can simply drag and drop an item onto a folder. When the folder is highlighted, release the mouse
button and the item is stored in that folder.
Folders can be ‘nested’—that is, stored in other folders.
When you double-click a folder, its contents (both PaperPort™12SE MAX files and non PaperPort™12SE
files) appear in Desktop.

ScanSoft™ PaperPort™12SE can quickly convert a text document image into text that you can edit with a
word processing application.

computer. You can convert the entire item, or by using the Copy Text button from the Items tab on the ribbon,

can use your own OCR application.

Note
• The screens shown in this section are from Mac OS X 10.5.x. Screens on your computer may
vary depending on your operating system and application.
• Before you can connect the machine to your computer, you need to purchase a USB cable (type A/B) that
is no longer than 6 feet (2 meters).
IMPORTANT
DO NOT connect the machine to a USB port on a keyboard or a non-powered USB hub.
Choosing the right type of paper
8
8
For high quality printing, it is important to choose the right type of paper. Be sure to read Loading paper and
Loading documents in the Basic User’s Guide before buying paper, and to determine the printable area
depending on the settings in the printer driver.
Simultaneous printing, scanning and faxing
8
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 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.
If the LCD shows Ink low, one or more of the ink cartridges are near the end of their life. If a sending
machine has a color fax to send, your machine’s “handshake” will ask that the fax be sent as black & white.
If the sending machine has the ability to convert it, the color fax will be printed at your machine as a black &
white fax. You can continue printing until the LCD shows Cannot Print.
Clearing data from the memory
8
If the LCD shows Data Remaining, you can clear the data that is left in the printer memory by pressing the
Stop/Exit key on the control panel.

Gray (Error Diffusion)
Use for photographic images or graphics. (Error Diffusion is a method for creating simulated gray images
without using true gray dots. Black dots are put in a specific pattern to give the gray appearance.)
True Gray
Use for photographic images or graphics. This mode is more exact because it uses up to 256 shades of
gray.
256 Color
Uses up to 256 colors to scan the image.
24bit Color
Uses up to 16.8 million colors to scan the image.
Although using 24bit Color creates an image with the most accurate color reproduction, the image file size
will be about three times larger than a file created using the 256 Color option. It requires the most memory
and has the longest transfer time.
