Printing 1 Using the Brother printer driver 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 CD-ROM we have supplied. Install the drivers by following Quick Setup Guide. The latest printer driver can also be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at: 1 http://solutions.brother.com Windows® Printing The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft® Windows® 98/98SE/Me/2000 Professional/XP and Windows NT® 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. Note If your PC is protected by a firewall, and is unable to print, you may need to configure the firewall settings to allow communication through port number 137. Visit the Brother Solutions Center (http://solutions.brother.com) for more information. 2 1. 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.) 1 a From your application, choose the Print command. If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, choose Brother MFC-XXXX or DCP-XXXX Printer* as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then click OK to begin printing. *(Where XXXX is your model name. If you are using a USB cable to connect your machine then USB will be in the printer driver name.) Note For Macintosh® users, see Using the Brother Laser driver for Macintosh® (Mac OS® X) on page 113 or Using the BR-Script3 (Post Script® 3TM language emulation printer driver) on page 116. b c Your computer sends the data to the machine. The Status LED blinks in yellow and the machine starts to print. When the machine finishes printing all the data, the LCD shows the machine status. 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 larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software. 3 1. Duplex (two-sided) printing The supplied printer driver supports duplex printing. 1 Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle. If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the MP tray. If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it. 1 Manual duplex (two-sided) printing The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows® 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. 1 4 1. Automatic duplex (two-sided) printing (For models that support automatic duplex printing) Note · Use A4, Letter or Legal size paper when you use the automatic duplex printing function. · Make sure that the back cover is closed. · Make sure that the duplex tray is installed correctly in the printer. · If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray. · You should use regular paper. Do not use bond paper or thin paper. 1 a b Put paper in the paper tray or MP tray. For the Windows printer driver 1 2 3 4 5 Open the Properties dialog box in the printer driver. From the General tab, click the Printing Preferences icon. From the Advanced tab, click the Duplex icon. Make sure that Use Duplex Unit has been chosen. Click OK. The printer will print on both sides of the paper automatically. For the BR-Script printer driver 1 2 3 4 Open the Properties dialog box in the printer driver. From the General tab, click the Printing Preferences icon. From the Layout tab, choose Orientation, Print on Both Sides (Duplex) and Page Order. Click OK. The printer will print on both sides of the paper automatically. Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxing 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 PC printing. However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper, it pauses the PC printing operation, and then continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished. 1 5 1. Printer operation key Job Cancel To cancel the current print job, press Job Cancel. If the status LED turns Yellow, you can clear the data that is left in the printer memory by pressing Job Cancel. 1 1 Secure Key Secured data is password protected. Only those people that know the password will be able to print the secured data. The machine will not print secure data until the password is entered. After the document is printed, the data will be cleared from the memory. To use this function, you need to set your password in the printer driver dialog box. (See Secure Print on page 25.) Note The password is a 4 digit number. 1 a Press Secure. Note The LCD displays No Data! if there is no secured data in the memory. b c d e Press a or b to choose the user name. Press OK. The LCD displays job selections. Press a or b to choose the job. Press OK. The LCD prompts you to enter your four-digit password. Enter your password using the control panel. Press OK. To print the data, press a or b to choose Print. Press OK. The machine prints the data. To delete the secured data, press a or b to choose Delete. Press OK. Press Stop/Exit. f Note · If you turn the power switch Off, the secured data saved in memory will be cleared. · After you print the secured data it will be cleared from memory. 6 1. Printer Emulation Support Your machine will receive print commands in a printer job language or emulation. Different operating systems and applications will send the print commands in different languages. Your machine can receive print commands in a variety of emulations and has an automatic emulation selection feature. When the machine receives data from the computer, it automatically chooses the emulation mode. The default setting is Auto(Epson).The machine can choose from the following combinations: Auto (Epson) - default HP LaserJet BR-Script3 EPSON FX-850 Auto (IBM) HP LaserJet BR-Script3 IBM Proprinter XL 1 Your machine has the following emulation modes. You can change the setting by using the control panel. HP LaserJet Mode The HP LaserJet mode (or HP mode) is the emulation mode in which this printer supports the PCL6 language of a Hewlett-Packard® LaserJet laser printer. Many applications support this type of laser printer. Using this mode will allow your printer to run at its best with those applications. BR-Script3 Mode BR-Script is an original Brother page description language and a PostScript® language emulation interpreter. This printer supports level 3. The BR-Script interpreter of this printer allows you to control text and graphics on the page. For technical information about PostScript® commands, see the following manuals: · Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Reference, 3rd edition. Addison-Wesley Professional, 1999. ISBN: 0-201-37922-8 · Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Program Design. Addison-Wesley Professional, 1988. ISBN: 0-201-14396-8 · Adobe Systems Incorporated. PostScript® Language Tutorial and Cookbook. Addison-Wesley Professional, 1985. ISBN: 0-201-10179-3 EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL Mode The EPSON FX-850 and IBM Proprinter XL modes are the emulation modes that this printer supports to meet the industry-standard for dot matrix printers. Some applications support these dot matrix printer emulations. Use these emulation modes so your printer will work well when printing from those types of applications. 7 1. Setting the Emulation mode 1 a b c Press Menu, 4, 1. (For DCP model press Menu, 3, 1.) Pressa or b to choose Auto (EPSON), Auto (IBM), HP LaserJet, BR-Script 3, Epson FX-850 or IBM Proprinter. Press OK. Press Stop/Exit. Note We recommend that you set the emulation setting with your application software or network server. If the setting does not work properly, choose the required emulation mode manually using the control panel buttons of the machine. Printing the Internal Font List 1 You can print a list of the machine's internal (or resident) fonts to see how each font looks before you choose it. a b c Press Menu, 4, 2, 1. (For DCP model, press Menu, 3, 2, 1.) Press Start. The machine prints the list. Press Stop/Exit.
