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 the 

Quick Setup 

Guide

. The latest printer driver can also be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at:
