A Printer Driver is software that translates data from the format used by a 
computer into the format required by a particular printer. Typically, this is 
done using a printer command language or page description language.  
 
The printer drivers for the following operating systems are on the CD-ROM 

that we have supplied. You can also download the latest printer driver from 

the Brother Solutions Center at
