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.)
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 LAN cable or a parallel cable to connect your
machine then LAN or LPT will be in the printer driver name.)
