Special Printing Features
Windows

Printing
The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft
®
Windows
®
95, 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional and
Windows NT
®
Workstation Version 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with the MFC. You
can easily install them into your Windows
®
system using our installer program (see Quick Setup
Guide). 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.
Brother Resource Manager
The Brother Resource Manager application must be running for you to use the machine with your
Windows
®
computer. MFC Software Suite and the Printer Driver automatically load the Resource
Manager, as needed. The Resource Manager allows the single bi-directional Parallel port on the
machine to simulate a Communications port for scanning and to simulate a Parallel port for
Windows
®
GDI printing.
Enhanced Memory Management
The machine has its own Data Compression Technology, which automatically compresses graphic
data and downloads font data efficiently into the MFC’s memory. You can avoid memory errors and
print most full-page, 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the machine’s
standard memory.
Printing From Your PC
Paper Tray
The machine’s paper tray can feed plain paper and transparencies. When the machine receives data
from your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the paper tray.
■ Select the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. The screen displays RECEIVING DATA.
If there are more pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next larger paper
size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software.
(See Acceptable Paper, page 29.)
You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and orientation in your
application software.
When you use labels, envelopes, card stock or thicker paper, be sure to use
the manual feed slot.
