Using the Brother printer driverA 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 available from the download page for your model on the Brother Solutions Center at:http://solutions.brother.com/. Printing Printing a documentWhen the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the papertray. The paper tray can feed many types of paper and envelopes. Printing Manual duplex (two-sided) printingThe supplied printer driver supports manual duplex printing.2 Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper 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 or manual feed slot. If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper, straighten it and turn over the stack. When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality.If there is a paper jam, see Basic User’s Guide: Error and maintenance messages.

If you have a print quality problem, see Basic User’s Guide: Improving the print quality. Manual duplex printingThe 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. Printing Simultaneous scanning, printing and faxingYour 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 2 continues printing when copying or fax receiving has finished.NoteEven if Toner Low or Toner Ended is displayed on the LCD, fax sending and scanning are available.
