When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins printing by picking up paper from the paper
tray. Your machine can print on many different types of paper and envelopes. (See the User’s Guide for
information about the Paper Tray and Recommended paper.)
a From your application, choose the Print command.
If any other printer drivers are installed on your computer, choose Brother MFC-XXXX or DCP-XXXX
Printer* as your printer driver from the Print or Print Settings menu in your software application, and then
click OK to begin printing.
*(Where XXXX is your model name. If you are using a USB cable to connect your machine then USB will
be in the printer driver name.)
