Printer driver 

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 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 
http://solutions.brother.com

You can see the operations and detailed information in the Install Software section of the supplied 
CD-ROM.
