Using the Brother printer driver 1
A printer driver translates the data from your PC 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:
