A printer driver is software that translates data from the format used by a computer to the format that a 
particular printer needs. Typically, this format is page description language (PDL).

The printer drivers for the supported versions of Windows

®

 and Macintosh

®

 are on the CD-ROM we have 

supplied or on the Brother Solutions Center at http://solutions.brother.com. Install the drivers by following the 
Quick Setup Guide. The latest printer driver can be downloaded from the Brother Solutions Center at 
http://solutions.brother.com.
(If you want to uninstall the printer driver, see
