Special Printing Features
Windows® Printing
The dedicated printer driver for Microsoft® Windows® 95, 98, 98SE, Me, 2000 Professional and 
Windows NT® Workstation Version 4.0 are available on the CD-ROM supplied with the MFC. You 
can easily install them into your Windows® system using our installer program (see Quick Setup 
Guide). The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows® 
applications, and allows you to set various printer settings including economy printing mode and 
custom paper size.
Brother Resource Manager
The Brother Resource Manager application must be running for you to use the machine with your 
Windows® computer. MFC Software Suite and the Printer Driver automatically load the Resource 
Manager, as needed. The Resource Manager allows the single bi-directional Parallel port on the 
machine to simulate a Communications port for scanning and to simulate a Parallel port for 
Windows
® GDI printing.
Enhanced Memory Management
The machine has its own Data Compression Technology, which automatically compresses graphic 
data and downloads font data efficiently into the MFC’s memory. You can avoid memory errors and 
print most full-page, 600 dpi graphic and text data, including larger fonts, with the machine’s 
standard memory.
Printing From Your PC
Paper Tray
The machine’s paper tray can feed plain paper and transparencies. When the machine receives data 
from your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the paper tray.
Select the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. The screen displays RECEIVING DATA. 
If there are more pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically.
If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next larger paper 
size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right and left margins in your application software. 
(See Acceptable Paper, page 29.)
You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and orientation in your 
application software.
When you use labels, envelopes, card stock or thicker paper, be sure to use 
the manual feed slot.
 
						

							24   Chapter 3
Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplexing)
The supplied printer driver for Windows® 95, 98, 98SE, Me and for Windows NT® Workstation 
Version 4.0 enables manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for the 
printer driver.)
The machine prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows
® 
driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, 
straighten it well, or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended.
Manual Feed Slot
The machine has a manual feed slot above the paper tray. You can load envelopes and special print 
media one at a time  into this slot. You do not have to remove paper from the paper tray. (See 
Acceptable Paper, page 29.)
Use the manual feed slot to print or copy on labels, envelopes, card stock or thicker paper. (See 
Printing on Thicker Paper and Card Stock, page 26.)
Please ensure that after making the first print of your “DUPLEX PRINT JOB” the 
printed sheet goes into the paper tray face-up. Please note the correct orientation, 
as in the diagram.
When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that a paper jam 
may occur or the printer quality might not be satisfactory.
If you use labels and envelopes, they must be of a type suitable for use with a laser 
printer. If you use incorrect types it is possible to damage or contaminate the drum 
surface and cause printing problems.
